Goals for 2007

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

Almost a month going into Jan and I’ve decided to set somethings straight that I wanna do for this year. It’s the 1st year of my freedom and I need to enjoy it the best way possible.

The 1st obvious thing I need to do is get a job and I’m currently studying the following modules to be a financial adviser, M5, M9 and HI. And I’ve gonna take M5 this evening, cant say I’ve prepared for it but I’ll do my best as always. Being a financial adviser aint exactly wat I have in mind but it’s a good chance to understand how retirement can be a breeze if you plan for it well. So to all my frens, if you guys wanna plan up for your future, do approach me or rather let me approach u. LoL.

The next impt thing is to save up for my Hong Kong trip in August. Chi Ho r u reading this? We’re going to visit you man! Cindy has went so now it’s our turn. Xinyi and Aldrick wil b goin but Shuting cant confirm as she might go for driving instead. I’ve talked abt this trip since last August when Chi Ho left SG. Die die muz go visit him. Life aint quite the same when Chi Ho’s not there when there’s class gatherings… Miss the nonsense and crap coming outta u, and I oso miss the new gadgets you oways seem to pop out with. So wat new toys have you gotten in HK?

Then after splurging most of my assets in the trip, I shall embark on a crazy savings program for my degree course in Biz Mgt. You cant progress far without a degree in life and so many ppl agree with me on this issue. Have degree will progress, diploma oso can progress but 3 years slower only… LoL. So for the next 3 years will b saving up for my degree course or if I cant wait, may get a loan from a bank. But I strongly go against it coz it’ll put me in debt. A degree is a good investment for the future anyway, so I can overlook it as a debt (still need more planning).

Another course I consider taking is Hospitality and hotel management. So I’m weighting both benefits, maybe after I take Biz Mgt, I’ll consider taking Hospitality jus for the fun of it. LoL. More job options for me this way.

Well, 1 thing for sure is that many financial companies r looking for young blood out there. I’ve received calls from 3 different companies asking whether I’ll like to join them. I mean dude… If you guys r sincere enuf, you could have called me 1-2 weeks when I was sending my resume like a mad man. Not like after 1 month has passed and you start asking ppl whether they r interested. Isn’t that abit late?

Welcome the new year

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Ok, so 2007 is here and a whole new 365 days of unpredictable events and shit to happen to us. Sound pessimistic? Er, those who know me should also know me being seeing towards the worst side of life so when shit happens, I’ll b like this "Oh f***, so it happened anyway. So lets get down to shit and get this shit cleared up" instead of the classic "Oh my GOD!!! When it happened? How it happened? Why muz it happen now and worst of all why on me??? Wat am I gonna do now???"

So in the midst of all this Ws and Hs I might as well channel my time and strength into clearing shit up. To me, any nice events, gifts and happenings will b a blessing be it big or small. I never wish for anything good in my life coz nothing’s gonna happen if u jus wish for something to happen to u. I believe we’re master of our own destiny and future. Nobody and nothing can make u who u are. It’s all our choice.

No new year resolution for me since goals r set every single time of the day. Why settle for 1 when u got a mountain to clear? Life’s a BITCH! So fight it instead of whinning.

So wat did I get for christmas? I got a box of rocher… And fullstop. Ya. only chocolates and it’s gift exchange. So it aint really intended. I never celebrate Xmas anyway not since after Poly. It’s nice to receive gifts and stuff lidat but for me, I rather work hard for it. And wat am I working for? Not sure too. Stil kinda early to tell. All I wanna do now is to find a job 1st. I still belong to the class of non-working ppl. Sad for someone like me but true.

Life aint about wat u see in front of you but rather it’s more about wat u cant see in front of u. Dats wat so interesting abt life, it’s the same for everyone - unclear and unpredictable. Same applies for those ppl who’s rich. U never know wat can happen to your riches and asset 1 fine day… Always b prepared for shit, dat way you can overcome it and b stronger.

So for 2007, I jus wish this fucked up world wont get anymore fucked up than rite now. Less wars, less killings, less corruption (Ah Bian and co u know who I’m refering to), less stupidity. More love, more peace and more thoughfulness.
