I know it's a bit late to welcome a new year but hey, it's still in its first month so I'm sure it's not an issue. Many things had happened to me during 2005 and some of them I would rather forget.
Well, this is 2006 and I hope it will be a better year for me. My resolution for this year is to take care of my health and hopefully able to lose some weight. I know when my friend read this, he won't believe it. This is because I have been trying to lose weight for so long. Anyway, I hope my resolution to lose weight will stay in focus because my health is deteriorating. I sense it is deteriorating in a fast pace too. Besides that, I would like to lead a healthier lifestyle.
During the end of 2005 I joined my friend and another partner in a project which lead to the birth of a company. I'm not the main share holder of the company because financial in not on my side. I would execute the work coming in while two of them look for contracts and projects. They are the main share holder of the company. This is a fair deal because they have contacts and finances while I have the talent and skills. Both party gains. For 2006, I hope that our business will continue to grow and improve. Hopefully someday I can work from home. That's the dream of a bookworm.
After working for 8 years, I have to admit that I'm getting tired of corporate world and its politics. The higher the corporate ladder I climb, the more ugly the politic. Everyone is trying to save their own a** and keep their job. I don't blame anyone. In this century, the employment belongs to the young. When you reach 40s, you are an endanger species. By then, I will have to try to keep my job and monthly stable income. Before that happen, I am looking for a remedy and it lead me to team up with few friends and work hard to build my own personal income. I found self fulfilling when I work from home and during the night. Even though I have to cut a lot of sleeping time and weekends but I am much happier because it is the fruit of my labour. Therefore, I pray to GOD that HE will bless us and open a path for us to grow our business.
My partners are planning to get me a new pc or laptop sometime this year. I hope it will be soon because my old pc is dying. Now I have to wait for the budget so I can propose a laptop. I would much prefer a laptop because I will be doing a bit of traveling and it will be much more convenient for me to work from anywhere.
Traveling, yes, this is one of the things I plan to do a bit this year. After working for 8 years, I now prefer to go slow and see more of the world. However, my work doesn’t enables me to save a lot, not in this country anyway. So, the traveling will be budget based. I remember a good friend once said that he prefers backpacking because he will have a lot of freedom to move around and see more of the world. Hmm... maybe he was right. Budget holiday does have its fun and thrill. I will write more when I go traveling few countries later this year.
Tomorrow is my first day to work. I spend the first week rejuvenating my mind and body. I spend my time doing some reading, learn few new cooking recipes, watching movies, learn few photography tricks, doing some accounting work for my business and draft some business plans. All in all, it was a fruitful week for me. The best part is I didn't go out a lot. All I need is internet access and many things get done. Internet access, the one thing I can't live without it.
Well, food supply is finishing so I would have to do some groceries shopping after work tomorrow. I also needs to do some card shopping because I have to send CNY cards to friends overseas. Other than that, I have to buy new clothes because CNY is around the corner. Being penniless that I am, I have to hunt for a really great bargain. Better starts now when there are still some sales going on. At the same time, I need to get some CNY goodies in case someone visits me. This will be the first time I celebrate CNY away from home and alone. So instead of feeling sorry for myself, I would rather build the festive mood to cheer myself.
Happy New Year!!
