What I did

• Took my first trip to Perth. Last visited Brisbane, Australia in 2006 (17 years go!). Joined a tour to Pinnacles desert to watch the sunset and the stars.

  

• Took a last minute trip to Kota Kinabalu. Joined a group hike up Maragang Hill.

  

• Started a new role in July. Learning more about AWS and using terraform to provision infrastructure. Having 75% fun and 25% pain authoring Gitlab CI/CD pipelines.

• Climbed Mount Ophir with my hiking kakis. Lots of ladders. Ran into a thunderstorm during the descent through the forest.

• Took a solo trip to Queenstown, New Zealand. Walked a lot. Fell in love with the cattle, peaceful scenery and crisp alpine air.
