Moving into the last two weeks of 2008, it is time for us to take stock of our achievements for the year, as well as the areas we’ve done well and the areas that need improvement.
1. Look for New Job & Get better Salary to FeeD my Lovely
I was able to get a better offer in April 2008, this is a good start for me and it may lead me towards high level banking environment. Current year due to financial turmoil, we can see pay cut, retrenchment and liquidation everywhere, I can still considered lucky. I still need improvement for myself to achieve higher remuneration, as now still unable to feed my Lovely if she stops working.
2. Train a better body I ever had
Throughout the year, whoever knows I was busying with my wedding in Nov 08. I was trying hard to enter gym twice a week, I did that, hence can avoid myself transform into fatty man. This will be the focus for year 2009.
3. Get Singapore PR
After a long run, good and bad experiences from HR, finally I got it in July 08. This was bringing me and my brother to have the opportunity to buy house. After a few house viewing, we got 1 and hopefully to move in by March 09.
4. Get Married & Honeymoon
According to my plan, these were successfully done! This is part of my plan in 2008, because get married is easy thing, everybody can do it by signing a marriage cert, but those expenses throughout the wedding is not a funny thing, make sure planning is in order. Honeymoon was wonderful; you can see it from my previous blog. Thanks for attending my wedding and sharing our joy.
Targets for 2009
While the progress in my career and family plans is encouraging, I need to focus on the few areas to meet 2009 commitments - 3W Managements.
1. Wealth Management
During my wedding, my savings is gone and everything starts from 1, which is 1 family, single life was thrown away. Budget management for family is the main focus. I have made a strategic for 2009, to minimize spending and maximize savings.
Secondly, build a debt free environment by clearing all installments by this year and enjoy freedom in Cash.
2. Weight management
In Feb 09, I have burnt up 4/7 of California Fitness membership as I have signed for 42 months. In 2009, target is creating a better health, growth extra muscle and maintains my body weight below 75kg. I believed this may succeed when moved in new house and diet control by cooking by myself.
3. Knowledge Management
Since year 2000, I am thinking to study German language to help myself in future career. As Discipline & consistency always the barrier for our life, at last I didn't enroll, but time can change a person too. I was changing since last year when I taking up the Diploma course, I understood that if I can’t get it, my life movement will stay behind others.
So, this year I wish to study it and hope I can start it before Nov 09. I have decided which language school to go, everything is in placed, but all I need is money. Haha!
