One word to summarize 2017 is Ollie which is the nickname of my baby. Except working I spent almost all my time with her and she made me the happiest person in the world.
Review of 2017
As planned I should have been studying computer science in US. Unfortunately it didn't come true. So I had to find a job. On Mar 1st I began to work as a front-end developer for Investarget which is a investment bank based at Shanghai. I joined a fantastic team and learned a lot every day.
As Ollie grows up we began to travel with her. So far we have been to Wuxi and Taicang. Each journey left us precious memory.
The only thing I feel regret in 2017 is about football. I enjoy playing football so much. But it has been more than eight months since last time I play football. What a shame!
Reading
Thanks to Kindle Paperwhite I have read several books this years. Actually majority of them are from two writers: Ken Follett and Dan Brown.
Their novels are so attractive that I don't want to miss any one. Recently I'm reading A Column of Fire from Ken and Later I will read Origin from Dan.
Shopping
This year I bought only one device which is Zhiyun Smooth Q. It's a 3-axis gimbal stabilizer. With Zhiyun Smooth Q I can shot videos more easily and professionally. I have already published several videos shot with Zhiyun Smooth Q on YouTube. Of course they are all about Ollie.
Prospect of 2018
For a lot of reasons I'm not satisfied with my current life. I'm determined to make some change. So in July I applied for a work and holiday visa of Australia. My plan in the new year is to find a job in Australia and settle down there. It's not an easy thing I know. But I will try my best.
Hope me good luck!
