Just some note before the air plane takes off...

Here I am again saying goodbye to my country after 3 amazing weeks. The trip lived up to my expectation with the planned part and exceeded it with the unplanned. The now-gone 2018 did play its role nicely: Lots of painful lessons, but no regrets. Only things learnt, and fun. Most importantly, it succeeded to end in the best way possible: The last month was tough but led in the end to a start of something new— something good. This special trip allowed me to really reconnect with my family, especially to my own brother. Lots of laughs and beautiful moments were shared when we were doing things together. I guess it could feel the same when I was with some of my best friends after all these years. Primary and planned objectives done. Checked. Life can’t go wrong with spontaneous moments, and I am lucky enough to have had plenty of them this time. From Hanoi, all the way down to Saigon, then Phuket and Bangkok and finally ended up in Haiphong with my family. The journey almost completely jumped out from nowhere and came realised at last minutes. Those moments are emotionally so joyful that I’d rather try not to think about them. Beautifully cruel or painfully happy, doesn’t matter how it’s called. Only matters how it feels. And only Measure what matters.

2019 is here, and I can already promise there will be more amazing things ahead. The so-called OKR to start with...

“Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts..”
