December 31, 2009 To kickstart the new year, most people (I'm not spared) create new year resolution(s)for themselves. Some people say its better not to set resolutions as people tend to be demoralised when such new year resolutions are not fulfilled but no, ambitious little me is going to go ahead with creating new ones and lets take a little peek on how I've fared for this year.
On a personal note, I thought I only had one and I fulfilled it so I was pretty happy till I decided to search for what I wrote last year. Nevertheless I'm still happy with my achievement this year (:
Resolutions (outstanding and new) 1. (: Somewhat happy with this resolution (: 2. Complete my bike and vroom vroom overseas! Yay, the resolution that got me into a whirlwind. No overseas trip but its fine. I'm just really happy I did myself proud. (: 3. Learn to cook 10 dishes (incl yam paste and pumpkin soup from scratch!) Ya haha, totally didn't happen. 4. Save a minimum of 8k liquid cash and 11k liquid cash and realisable assets (ie bike!) Didn't happen either lol. 5. Donate blood I totally forgot 6. Take up something new and pretty unique (ie dance/golf) Not anything that I noticed. 7. Be able to speak cantonese fluently (or at lease evesdrop =x) Ther's definitely an improvement (: 8. Note 4 apart, spend 1k to revamp my style of dressing when and only when I reach 5k (Of course I am still an accountant so don't expect me to spend more than $50 per item unless it's damn attractive and looks like its worth more than it costs. Helpers anyone?) This is funny, it never happened and I don't think its ever gonna happen in the near future. 1. I'm constantly shopping throughout the year. 2. I'm gonna be a full fledged student so, I'm BROKE. Instead, the question I should be asking now is.. Any sponsors? =p 9. Exercise regularly...... =p For 2 weeks yes it did happen, after that I don't know what happened... Just but a dream? Lol. 10. Spend less on redundant items and stop thinking of wasting money like on $529 wallets because I don't need them. I don't need them. I don't need them. Well I got it in the end but hey, I'm still happy with my purchase and I'm no longer buying anymore wallets. That's good news right? Hee.
13hours left for 2009 and hello twenty-ten!

Lets start with a new set of resolutions shall we?
Resolutions 1. (: [this will always on the top of my resolution list] 2. Score well for my OBU and get a degree that everyone expects when I want to take a Masters. 3. Get my Masters after resolution no. 3 is fulfilled. 4. Focus on CFA exams in June and understand the nightmare that I signed up for which turned out more challenging than I expected it to be. (Refer below)
I know its gonna be a tough year ahead.
CFA - 6hrs of exam on the SAME DAY and 6books and 240qns. The thickest book being more than 671pages and the thinnest book being 300pages THICK (excluding the 3425345124 pages of glossary behind).
I wanted to add a picture but screw HP laptops. Nothing is working, its constantly breaking down. This is definitely going to be my last HP laptop purchase no matter how cheap unless they do something miraculously good to save their product. Good service, BAD product. Capital B for Bad, no I change my mind. Its all caps for the word BAD. Hell yeah.

December 26, 2009 Here it goes again. Cheers to the many sleepless nights to come.
I need a holiday!!!
-nIx- @ [[7:19 AM]]
I wish that time could just freeze and give me enough time to reflect on what I want in life.
I wish I could stop worrying altogether.

December 25, 2009 I'm a little confused now.
Am I making the right choice?
Will I survive the next half year or so?
Was I too ambitious?
Haha.

December 14, 2009 Life is getting better (:
-nIx- @ [[11:26 PM]]
Hmm ya life is very interesting.
As quoted from Zombieland : Enjoy the little things. Lol.
-nIx- @ [[7:20 PM]]
Simple things keep me happy. Maybe I shouldn't make my life so complicated after all.
Baby repsol has revamped! All in all I'm glad its being well taken care of. Although I have no more managerial involvement in it & transferred all the risks and rewards (FRS 32, 39 and 107 i think haha) its just an emotional attachment to it that I find more difficult to deal with than I expected.
Anyway, I should always look forward. Am so looking forward to Xmas (:
Gotta sleep. I've to wake up super early tmr.

December 13, 2009 Twilight was a bit too full of kissing and the girl saying she wants to be a vampire vampire vampire.
Haha. Overall, the movie was okay, I'd give it a 7/10 even if the others gave it low ratings because I spent most my time staring at them. Bella is pretty and Edward is handsome. Haha.
The downside was that someone in the theatre had really smelly breath. Grrr.
---
Overall, I feel like shit right now (yes, this is how shit feels like).
I'm beginning to wonder whether I made the right choice or whether I should be regretting that decision now.
Of all people why me?

December 11, 2009 An extract from one of our audit working papers which made me laugh in tears.
Following the review above, we are reasonably sextisfied with the computation of non-claimable PPE.
Wondered what my colleague was doing when she did this working HAHA.

December 06, 2009 my baby and me.
For the whole of this week I've been rushing home straight after work. Didn't ride it everyday though I just felt I had to be at home in case I wanted to ride it because I never know when I'm going to touch a bike ever again.
Saturday was heartbreaking. I woke up extra early just to take more photos with it and while I was waiting for the new owner to pick me up to Sin Ming to transfer the ownership I sat on the bike and started tearing.
At the counter, I immediately regretted being present and said "I shouldn't be here".
And finally when we reached home it I started it and hugged it for the last time before walking away from it.
Well, its not the end of the world at least I still have my baby bear (my only baby left) (:
Gotta move on, good night.
