Happy New Year 2009

Happy New Year !!  This year there’s no countdown for me, as at 12am sharp, i’m inside the cinema watching “sever pounds” at the cathay. So fast we say goodbye to 2008, and hopefully 2009 will be a better year. Looking back at 2008, there’s ups and down, the most major decision i made in year 2008 is….change of job

Memories of 2008

1. Hokkaido trip during CNY with my family, a nice and enjoyable trip
2. Sem 3 2007 exam after CNY, struggling with Corperate Accounting….which i almost wanted to drop my Masters of Accounting studies, i’ve made a decision that if i failed that subject, i will drop my studies, luckily i passed and will be graduating soon…2 more semester to go (including the current one).
3. My grandma passed away, which means i’ve no more grandparent =(
4. Hong Kong 5 days summer sale trip with 3 friends, a very good experience as this is the first time i goto another country without a guide, need to find my way to the hotel, and to places myself. Everything went on smoothly and glad to know new friends there.
5. Got a new job offer from UBS, and after thoughtfully consideration, i decided to accept their offer and resign from Citibank which i’ve beeng working there for the past 4 1/2 years, taking a huge risk at that time as that current situation is best to get hold your current job.
6. Taipei 5 days trip alone. My 3rd trip in 2008, thanks to Mouson who pick me up at airport at the early hours and offered me my first night accomodation at his house, and spend a day bringing me around yingge, sanxia and night markets.
7. My best buddy Heng Keong’s and Yvonne wedding,  i become “brothers” many times, but this is the first time i become bestman, kinda tiring but very happy for my best buddy who i known more than 10 years.
8. First time countdown inside cinema, haha…actually there’s no countdown as the movie starts at 10.30pm and ends at 12.30pm, by the time i get out from the cinema all fireworks are over and the streets are crowded

2009 New Year Resolution

1. Get used to my current new job, and excel on it
2. Finish my masters, and get some life (sacrifice too much for my studies already)
3. Get a car, or buy a property
4. Although lesser annual leave,  cut down on travelling but at least must go 2 places in 2009.
5. Earn more $$…haha
