Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011...........

Here comes the yearly tradition.......I feel obligated to do an analysis on my last year's resolution and also my new goal for the coming year......hmmmm...let's check it out....

@@@@@@2010 @@@@@@@@

1. Complete my MBA....... - DONE and I thought I'd have more time to myself....JD is growing up so quick and Jr. No. 2 is on the way.....do the math about 'Me' time....almost non existance....

2. Get a new bike....... - FAILED. But I'm still living the dream. Eventhough the only ride I'd be closed to is JD's kiddies ride, I'm still trying my best to get an affordable bike. Just to please myself.....

3. Strive for better income...... - DONE. I would considered it as a more stable career rather than the one with better income. Income pretty much static but at least I get to spend all the time in the world with my lil monkey at home.....

4. Family Vacation........ - DONE. We managed to organize a simple family vacation in Singapore....let's try somewhere else next year....

5. Tatoo JD's initial on my back....... - DONE and I'm lovin' it.....hehehehe

Let's see....4 out 5. Pretty good score in 2010. Let's see how do I rate next year from my 2011's resolutions....

@@@@@@ 2011 @@@@@@

1. Try to get a bigger house.

2. Submit my thesis on time and attend the convocation.

3. Try to stick with the same job. (At least for another year)

4. Provide the best for Jr. No.2

5. Get myself an investment portfolio.....

5. Try to get a new bike (personal favourite)

Finally.....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!....

* I'll have to work on new year's eve to close my account....hehehe hopefully I do not have to stay back too late yoo.......have a splendid year ahead.....YAAAHHOOOOOO...

Randomness and A Merry Xmas......

The lack of post is not due to my packed schedule.....to be franked, I'm kinda lazy....hahaha.....life has been good...in fact, GREAT.....let me share some random stuff happenning lately......




* Saw this on my last trip to the airport....Thanks to Citibank, I got to enjoy the VIP lounge for FREE.....everything is FREE in the lounge....beers....OMG....I could only imagine the group of my Hais pondering in this lounge with this free flow beer pump....




* JD is getting montrous by the day.......he will drop to the floor for no reason whatsoever and dig his nose.....I can't predict what this lil fella is gonna do next......




* One of my buddy is down with dengue fever....in fact, this guy here is my client....hahaha....I bonded really well with most of my clients...believe me when I tell you my ex-clients are still calling me even after a year......some just to catch you, some seeking advice, some offering me jobs......better keep this network alive....might just need them in life after Samsung...hehehehe




* Christmas is just around the corner.....This year, PW and I decided not to setup the Xmas tree......We're afraid that JD might choke on some of the decos......check out our tree from last year.......ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS...............................................

* A BIGGER HOUSE........hahahaha......saw this unit for sale a couple of days ago.....the plus point is, this house is just right beside my current unit.......when I showed Kit2 the place from our car park the other night, his reaction was...."I can climb over the wall for dinner next time"......Will be viewing the house tomorrow evening....hopefully it's up to our standard as I do really like the compound...hehehehe....Well...have a great holiday ahead and a Merry Christmas people.........

Classmate's Wedding............

I was invited for my classmate's wedding dinner last month at Evergreen.....let me see, that was JD's wedding dinner number 4.....as usual, the low post rate is always due to heavy commitment at work and home...this time, it's all home.......hehehe work has been pretty much ermmm....STATIC......don't get me wrong, routine is sometimes GOOD in a way.....hehehe



* Nice deco, Nice menu........there were 3 pregnant ladies at the same table....hehehe breeding season yoooo......




* Took JD to the lobby since we were abit early.....or weddings are always late.......




* JD had a go at his first xmas tree.....we did not setup our tree this year because JD would probably chew most of the decos.......better safe than sorry.....I would not want to have the blinking LED lights coming out from the lil fella's tummy.....hehehehe




* Pretty nice stage........the live band was great.....classico......




* The mini man was kinda restless after 30 minutes.......

* I'll now think twice before bringing him to another function.....seriously.....he cries for attention every 5 minutes....just imagine a 4 hour function....let me talk about my company dinner next time......ishhhh

* That's the bride.......have a blissful marriage....... ^_^

* In years to come, these bunch of people might be someone's boss.....after more than 2 years of Sunday classes...we are done with books.....meeting them again next year during our Convocation......but before that, I'll have to submit my thesis....let me start work this month....have a great work week ahead people........

Business Trip @ Shanghai........

The company sent me to Shanghai last week.....the agenda, meet up with people....warehouses, factories and not to mention people from Samsung Shanghai......a hectic schedule without too much time for leisure......I started packing right after my month end closing day........



* I could tell that JD really wanted to tag along.......




* I saw alot alot of these during my trip.......




* Of course when the sun sets, I'll make the best out of the situation....sleep less, walk more.......lucky enough I have a tourist guide staying nearby.....




* My Ol'buddy....TengHui.....ironically he stays behind my hotel.....took me around town for 2 night in a row...thanks dude....




* Night view from The Bund.........that's the area where Chow Yuen Fatt got gunned down in the classic movie.....

* Snap shoot from 32nd floor @ Hyatt...........

* We wanted something different this round...we opted for 'Adopt the ear'....sounds kinky right? hahaha

* I conned TengHui into it and I chickened out......hahaha too funky for me......

* Local flavour........not too bad....so far no diarrhea YET.......

* Nice to have some midnight snacks from the streets.....

* I was lucky enough to have some spare time on the final night in Shanghai......walked around while waiting for my dinner appointment to start.....

* And the temperature was already 11 degree at 5 in the evening........I do not have any winter clothing with me.....hey I'm from the HOT zone yooo.....all we have back home are rain and no rain day.....heheheh

* @ Nanking road....due to the EXPO, most of the imitation stalls were closed down by the government....there goes my shopping spree......

* Ahhhhhhhh this kinda reminded me of my last trip back in 2005........

* Same old spot...... 2005

* After dinner, TengHui took me to a Chinese bar aka 88....the place sucks....I've been bumped by so many chinese guys that day, I lost count......next we headed to TheShelter.....it was an old bomb shelter turned to a bar.....western style...not too bad if not for a few Americans guys talking non-stop to us.....I was hoping for American chicks.....maybe TengHui looks abit too gay that night.....

* The night was once again ended with supper from the street......check out my dude......too well-dressed to be squatting by the street waiting for his food...hahahaha....that basically ends my short trip to Shanghai....thanks again to my dude for the hospitality....Important day for me tomorrow....Doc said the result should be out by then...pray for me people.......signing out.......
