Bye 2007, Hello 2008

• I celebrated my first CNY in KL and cooked my first full-fledged reunion dinner
• I finished serving my scholarship bond - FINALLY
• I began a new blog to share updates and news with close family - which, to my own amazement, is still very much alive
• I made a whole bunch of new friends in my new workplace
• Gramps' health is deteriorating - very heartbreaking
• Great grandma passed away at the ripe old age of 101
• Bro proposed!
• I got in touch with a whole load of friends whom I've not seen/ heard from since my school days - thanks to Facebook
• I met-up with an online friend, face-to-face
• I finally got around to applying for my ACCA membership, despite having passed the exams 3 years back!!
• I moved to the middle east to join hubby

What I hope to achieve in 2008:

• Learn basic arabic
• Familarise self with islamic finance and the tax regime in the mid east
• Work towards a promotion at work
• Strike a balanced work/ life perspective - leave the office before 7pm max and not to work weekends
• Eat healthier - stick to fibre and greens regime, rule out sugary drinks, cut down the burgers, fastfood and fatty pork
• Lose weight - 10kg? maybe more realistic if I can even achieve 5kg!!
• Use moisturiser/ body lotion for dry skin and face
• Visit 2 to 3 places I've never been to before
• Make a conscious effort to plan and get pregnant
• Build up my close-to-nil savings

Happy New Year to self!
