I wish, I dream...

I know I'm supposed to put up at least a post on new year. Hope it is not too late though ( today is already the 2nd day of 2008) count me lazee :p

New Year's Resolution
My new year's resolution? Too bad I never have one. But I do have clear goal to work towards too, I mean I 'used to have'. My targets and goals have always been study hard and not to fail my exams. Now that I have left my comfort study zone and joined the work force (heck, it has been a year since I became a corporate slave), I thought I have lost the focus in my life or should I set my target as 'earn more money'...hmmm...doesn't sound right to me but yeah at least I'm changing the currency of my pay this year.

Have things changed since 2006?

My messy study desk in aussie


Till now, my office...still messy as ever


Used to stroll along the street freely

Now stuck in the office and yet pretend to be cheery

Rewind...
Looking back at 2007, so far it was the most happening year for me as I experienced alot of drastic changes in my life. Work wise, I have changed 3 jobs in a year and now moving down south :p Aside from being financially independent and managed to pick up my driving skills after spending time in aussie like a retard, I'm glad that I get to know and meet more new friends via blogging last year. From the first day I met them during the Sandias gathering to the Damansara Heights Corporate Slave luncheon, potluck parties and food sampling events, I enjoyed every moment spent with this bunch of great people.

Moving forward
As you all know, I'm making a big leap by venturing down south. I have no idea how hard life is going to be there alone...yet. But one thing for sure, I can still have my hankering for sashimi and sushi fixed there...phew! So I'm all set to go!


My Dreams
I dream alot, day or night. I have my dream house by the beach, dream job (i.e 'work' from home) and a lifestyle to dream for. I guess my dream shall always remain as a dream, try not to realise it so that I can still dream on...


Have a great year ahead :)

Awww...don't worry. I can assure you that being a corporate slave in Sg is much more rewarding than in KL (at least financially). But of course, you won't get to spend time with such a great loving fellow corporate slaves like me!!

HairyBerry said...

dun worry, xlb...i too, packed my bag, left kl and started working in sg...it's been 5 years now and so far, no complains, i'd say...on the lighter side, i already have some japanese restaurants in mind to bring you to...hehe!
