~~ Untitled ~~

I couldn't decide on an appropriate title for this entry thus untitled...haha. Wanted to name it the first post of 2006 but realised it will only sound so stupid because we are already 3 weeks into the new year already.

So its been close to a month since I last updated my blog. Not that I have nothing to update, I do have an interesting life ok! Its just that I have been kept really busy with work and time off work were spent with friends, leaving me with little time and energy to update.

Work is getting on well since the start of the year, could see a clearer picture of what's to come and will definitely spur me on to work even harder towards it. I also enjoyed abit of luck for the last few weeks, a far cry off the crap I had to go through last year. I hope my luck will continue, even though elders and friends around me say that the Year of the Dog is a very bad year for those born in the Year of...Dog. So ironic. Its supposed to be our year lor...come on.

Almost a month into the new year and it really took me quite awhile to register it. I mean, its like 2005 and 2006 were not much different to me. Did not really sit down to make any personal resolutions for the year. Like I mentioned before, I never believed in it...haha. But for the fun of it, I shall just list down a few that could make worthy resolutions and you all around me can constantly remind me and make sure I achieve it.

1. To get my car by July

I wanna get my car by July because by then it would probably be a neccesity rather than a luxury. I am looking at Mitsubishi Colt, Suzuki Swift or a Honda Jazz. Basically all the hatchback models. Friends who know me well enough will know the reason why. Haha. However, a chat with a friend reminded me of the fact that if I were to get a brand new car, that would mean I would be tied to it for the next 4-5years to come. Selling it within a year or two will result in massive loss. Hence the dilemma, new car or 2nd hand car?

2. To be promoted to Associate Manager

I am on track now for promotion. If nothing goes wrong, I will probably be promoted between July to October depending on how hard I work. The choices for me is to work very very hard or work very very very very hard. Haha. Friends...need your help on this though. :p

3. To build up a substantial amount of savings in my account for the rainy day

It seems ironic that being a financial planner, I was frequently dealt with sudden cash flow problems throughout the whole of last year. Friends like Daping should know. Haha...appreciate all those help I received before. Hope I would be in a position to render help than to receive soon. My aim this year is to accumulate a substantial sum of savings on hand. If possible, a low range five digit in my bank will do me good in terms of liquidity and sustainence.

4. To visit Hongkong

This is not a resolution lah....just a wish that I hope can be fufilled. I want to visit Disneyland in Hongkong but so far have not found any friends willing to make the trip with me. So friends, anyone interested we can discuss more about it. :)

Basically, that's all I can conjure up at the moment. Perhaps with all this fufilled, then I can come out with more goals then. :)
