2006 in review and 2007 resolutions

An important week coming up...with many results to be announced...the new year coming up and my final semester in NTU approaching..2006 simply flashed past...and lets look back on what I have done/achieved in 2006

1. Came back from 2 exchange programs...to become the first to finish the GIP triangle...sometimes I think back on the times when I was living in the US and China and everything seems to be like a dream...experiencing so much things in such a short time...living in these 2 countries has really been a milestone in my life.

2. Investments - 2006 is the first year that I started out in investing....stocks, unit trusts, forex, insurance etc....from a total idiot in investing to knowing how the market works, how to shop for the lowest charges and how to be a cool and calm investor..profits for the year stands at abt 10%..not bad for a first year...

3. FYP......topic is on stocks prediction...still on going and really gained lots of knowledge on the stock market and technical analysis by doing the project...progress is slow...lets hope I can finish it on time and get a decent grade...

4. Countries travelled in 2006...Hong Kong, Thailand....Both trips with my dear and they have been wonderful trips...particularly memorable was staying at the disney hotel in HK...really nice theme hotel where everything is Mickey shaped...haha...

5. Academic results....not a bad year in terms of academic results...but of course this could change in a few hrs time when the results for this sem will be released....

6. Family.....spent more time with my family in 2006 than in 2005...haha of cse...because I am back...finally will be moving back home in 2007 and there will be more time for my family...

7. Friends....Everyone seems really bz this year....but still had regular meetups for westlife, GLs, Hejia and Johnny and the drinking gang (Adrian/Guoxing/Hanxin)....Guess it's harder to meet up when some of my frenz have graduated and so bz with their work...well I am also guilty in abit lazy to organise outings..hehe...

8. My dear...2006 continues to be a colourful year for us....with 2 trips overseas and nice birthday celebrations...lots of nice memories....sorry for some small bickerings but guess that's normal with couples..hehe...2007 promises to be a better year!

9. Myself...think my living habits r not v good in 2006...continuing to have late nites...though better than in year 1 and 2 when I really slpt in the morning...on the lectures attendance front, tink 2006 is the year when I attended the most lectures...all thanks to motivation from my dear of cse..haha...lets hope I can keep it up for next sem...Think I ate too much in 2006...gained some weight...my mum keeps saying I am too fat every weekend when I get home...ok shall shed some pounds in 2007....

10. Almost forgot..hehe..got myself an x box and a new palmtop this year...=)
