It's time to reflect on this year and after going through some deep thinking, I decided to make a list of all my unlocked achievements. Here goes:

• For the first time ever, my site got featured on the front page of Hacker News. Rather than words, I think my site stats here does a better job at expressing how phenomenal it is:

  

• I attended two really awesome conferences, RedDotRubyConf on May and JSCamp.Asia on November. Both events were very eye-opening and mind-blowing. Special thanks to Andy Croll and the JSCamp.Asia team for organizing them, not to mention giving out all the nice goodies and holding after-parties.

• Finally have the chance to see and meet some of the high-profile superstar developers in Real Life. Some of them are Zach Holman, Christian Heilmann, Divya Manian, Jed Schmidt, Alex MacCaw and Angus Croll.

• Received few positive tweets from John Gruber and Loren Brichter. Yes, little things do matter.

• Aside from my Hacker News web app, I've released three other projects:

  • Singapore Bus Routes Explorer, on 20 January
  • Max Tabs extension for Firefox, on 24 May
  • Octofication extension for Chrome, on 29 October

• Survived the Mayan apocalypse, somehow. No meteors, no zombies.

That's all for 2012. I can't wait to see what's in store for me next year. Happy 2013!
