The best time in 2017

2017 has been great, guess why ?
Because I worked my ass off in the last quarter of the year.

In January 2017, I deferred my internship and took a few SOA papers, I failed both of them.
So I decided to chill in March 2017, and to be honest I forgot what I did back then.
When the final semester start, I was determined to spend as much time as I can in class with my friends, as I want to build good post graduate friendships, and also build lasting memories
Fun is fun, but not many of the "good times" linger in my thought

After I finished my final exam, I stay chilled from July to the end of August, as I planned.
Because in September 2017, I started to take my stock trading pretty seriously, as CIMB stock challenge 2017 had been just around the corner. Also I was watching 1 excel tutorial video per day as an effort to improve my excel fluency.

In October 2017, we took part in CIMB stock challenge 2017, we managed to snatched the 4th place until we took bigger risk and dropped to the back. Worth mentioning is, another fake account we used for fun actually got the 2nd place,  oh Gosh why.

In November 2017, I had been watching excel tutorial everyday for 2 months, and my excel had improved tremendously, also it is time to commence my internship in Allianz life insurance.

The 2 months of internship had been quite brutal in the sense that I still commit to keeping my body fit, and my mind sharp.
But this is the part which made my 2017 great.

You know, I had so much fun whenever I went out with my friends, we would talk whole night and laughed whole night.
However, the high of the moment will never make it pass a few days, the joy of overcoming the struggles however, lingers.

Throwback to when I was in form 4, I couldn't remember the feeling when I had any fun singing K with friends
BUT I remember the struggles of learning English by writing down 1000+ vocabulary, their meanings, and a sentence
I remember my stacks of self made bio, chemistry, and physics note
I remember struggling to eat less and exercise more, while my body was experiencing autophagy

Back to 2017, this last quarter of 2017, full with struggles everyday
Waking up early at 5am to workout, sleeping late 11pm to study, and the joy of being able to conquer all of these
Of course I am no where near success yet, but I am at the very least few steps away from the starting line
This last few months of struggle, is the best time in 2017

I wish you a very good and "Strugglefull" 2018, as it will bring out the best in you :)
