2009

End of a 5 day break from work. Have to say, I miss working. Time passes faster, and I actually do feel more productive. (Not that my work is really that fulfilling)

Let's talk about work first. Had my year end review, and grade was really bad. There were various reasons given and offered to me, but none of them satisfactory. It irks me to think that the grading wasn't done entirely by one's performance but partly based on other factors out of one's control. On those points that I am lacking, yes, I admit my flaws. Others, well, all I can say is try again next year. When I first knew my grade, I was unable to disguise my shock and wasn't able to comprehend the situation. In retro sight, it would have been better I had not shown such a spectacular display of disbelief and confusion on my face. Whatever it is, I have got to live with it. After all, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger ( Or maybe you are just plain lucky)

Had a good run with 2009. Got a job with decent salary, still having the same girlfriend, family is great. Things are good in general. But never take things for granted, and I believe one has to work really hard. But yea, Life is Great ( Line stolen from Great Eastern)

I know my thoughts are all over the place, but I will just pen down the first thing that comes to my mind.


New year resolutions?

1. Financial Planning
1.1 Trade
1.2 Business

2. Fulfill secret resolutions with her. Written on paper, and posted on my wall. Physical wall. Don't bother looking at my Facebook.

3. Meet up with old friends.

4. Actually win the big sweep.





And most importantly, be happy.
