Warp up for year 2008

It is end of year 2008, I should be released from my duty by now; hibernate and prepare myself for year 2009. But, it is not. I am still busy visiting customers and strategy planning for year 2009. Does it mean I have greater responsibilities; or… I do not have an absolute answer for this. All I know, year 2009 will be a tough year for everyone.

Although it is only mid of Dec 2008, but I would like sum up the 'big things' happened in my life in year 2008

Arrival Baby Le Er - I would like to express my gratitude to my dearest wife - Yvonne. Ten months of pregnancy; the pain when deliver baby Le Er - I know and I appreciate.

These are the big thing happened in Year 2008. Of course, they bring me joys and kind of self achievement to me as well. Also, that means greater responsibilities from year 2009 onwards. Paying monthly installment, increase in fix and variable costs, greater fear in retrenchment, maintain healthy cash flow and building reservoir of good will be my day in day out matters. Well, although more monitory related matter from year 2009 onwards, but my family will still be my primary focus.

There isn't much self- planning in year 2009, there is only one ‘personal project’ so far- improve my writing skills. Every entry is a challenge to me, I find it is difficult myself freely in words, but should be an excuse for me to stop writing. I want to do better in year 2009.
