Wow it had so long that i did not update the blog.
The last was Nov before we went to Gold Coast. Now we are already back for more than a month and 2009 had arrived.
We always like to rewind the calender and see what are the happenings during the year. Today being the 1st day of a fresh new year, let's do likewise.
2008 had not been a good year especially from the 2nd half of the year. The world wide economy was badly hit by the crisis. The bankruptcy of banks, the depreciation of currencies, the drastic drop in share and stock prices.
Then the retrenchment exercises of all the few banks which strongly affecting those in the financial sector. Everyone is worrying if they will be the next one including me.
Close to end of the year there was the terrorists bomb in Mumbai causing a Singapore lady lawyer being sacrificed.
Some political news are the new Thailand new leader caused strikes, scandal news about Taiwan's ex-president and his family involved in money laundering.
Entertainment world had a mixture of good and bad. The sudden departure of MC King in early Jan 08, the happy apple Lydia Sum's death and a few others. The latest will be the Japanese AV star's suicide. Of course there are good news with a few celebrities being the proud parents of their children. Some babies are on the way.
After a rough overview of the big world. Now is my personal one.
Our family went to Bangkok in May and Gold Coast in Nov this year. Me additionally went to celebrate 972's birthday at Vietnam during Sep. They were enjoyable trips.
Financially, quite stable but still need time to recover. Hope can get over the crisis earlier.
Alright, that's all for 2008. There are a few goals need to complete for 2009. Most important to study and pass my SOTC exam. Do a better job at work and hope we able to hop onto a tour.
May everyone have a fruitful 2009. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
