Year 2008

Today - 010108

I haven post anything since April 2006! So what have i been doing for the past 1 and a half year?

Well, it is basically due to study, work, girlfriend, family and friends commitments.

I started my pursue of a degree in Business and IT since June 2006, till now it is already 3 semesters done. 3 more semesters to go before I can graduate, ya that is provided I do well enough. 2006 ended with me reconsidering my options of a new career instead of staying in the current one with the SAF. I really appreciate what SAF has given me all these 5 years, and it is time for me to move on to another chapter of my life. 2006 September my grandma passed away peacefully, it was a great eye opener to the naive me.

2007 started and ended all well, this year brought me lots of experiences and showed me my limits as I pushed myself throughout this year to manage work and study together. I was always at my limits, not much time spent at home, mostly would be working shift system, studying every 2 weekdays at night and the rest of the time would be with my girlfriend, family and friends. 2007 is the year of many achievements for myself, having completed half my degree course successfully, profited a modest gain through CPF investments and gained valuable knowledge in the process. May 2007 I went on a short 5 day Hong Kong trip with my sweetheart - Rene, we enjoyed oursleves going on this mini adventure, roaming around all by ourselves. Ending 2007 sees me wanting to try out new stuffs through taking a risk with US$. Ya.. I know I am crazy.. October 2007 made me realise I need to get out of my comfort zone and go out to the market and learn new things, since I would be 26 in the year 2006, I do not have much time left idling in the comfort and getting more and more lazy to experience new stuffs... I might turn old and elderly faster if this carries on...

Welcome 2008 and I already have a few things to do for the year, planning for a 7 to 10 days Japan or Korean trip towards the end of the year. Improve my University results which currently stands at 2.43 GPA which is damn poor due to failing one of the module once... a GPA of zero(0) really is destructive. A target of 4.0 would be great... ya... I am not dreaming... that would means some 5.0 or 4.5 for my 4 modules for the year and minimum 4.0, else not even a chance of averaging to 4.0 GPA for my total. 8 might bring me some luck on top of hard hard work.... do not be surprised if this is the last blog post for the year 2008, I put effort to post today so as to update my progress since April 2006, though no one might read this, it is more for myself and my sweet heart. Coming May, might be a good time to go genting with my sweetheart on her 21st brithday to enter the genting casino and be rookie. Training would be required to tune ourselves for the upcoming intergrated resorts' casinos in Singapore. Singapore Flyer... here I come!... though I am a little afriad of heights, I would still try it with my darling.

Last but not least, Rene.. no matter what happens in the year 2008, our love will still carry on, thank you for being with me all these years and we shall look forward to our future.

For everyone!... all the best for the new and may all your wishes come true....
