2011 was an eventful year for me;
1. leaving challenger was a decision i have never regretted. there was no grounds for learning, nor was there any space for growth. later i heard cits (challenger it services) was asked to close as it was not making profits. with a leader like this, it was hard to grow the company even if we see the prospects of the company in future.
2. joining eguardian was a breaking decision because i’ve never liked sales, i hate to be driven by numbers. yet i appreciate the working environment and top it up, they provide a steep learning curve for me. till the day things change, i don’t forsee myself leaving the company.
3. the hospitalization of my dad was indeed a turning point for me (and my dad i believe). in my honest opinion, my dad did not carry out the fatherly responsibility very well and i have never really paid him any respect. though i still find it hard to be nice to my father even now, things are not the same anymore. my father is within our consideration when we make a decision to travel, have dinner, etc etc. i started to contribute and all of a sudden feel very grown up. my dad is also going to church, which our family are very thankful for. we have umi, our domestic worker, to join the family as well. quoting my sister, “we have problems without a maid, and we have problems with a maid.” nevertheless, everyone is coping with god’s grace.
4. the break up. it taught me many valuable lessons with a very high price to pay and it brought to light, what i do not like will never be what i like. and today i would like to say, thank god for bring me through the difficult stage and thank god again i left the relationship. a guy like him will not be a guy to marry.
5. making the choice to focus on praise and worship, and not teaching. i love teaching, i like the attention of the children, especially when they listen and understand what you say. you know you made a difference in their lives. but my passion is in music, i want children (or youths) to be able to raise their voice, singing and moving to the groove; for them to indulge and enjoy christian songs. i’m giving myself one year to try and make a difference in that area, one year.
6. meeting bee² is something really unexpected, and i think the “un-expectation” was mutual. he is out of my norm, and has the ability to make me feel normal about my thoughts and emotions. most importantly, he brought me out of the gloom and pull me away from my strayed path. we are still seedling, yes yet this seedling is very much healthier than the previous.
in summary, i found focus and have mature much from all the experiences. with many thanks to those who stood by me, gave me a helping hand and supporting shoulder when i was sad and down. you don’t know how much i appreciate you guys, and do let me do the same if you were to go through the same thing. ♥
2012 is going to be a training year for me;
1. nothing is any more important than health; to exercise once a week, eating healthy along with my supplements
2. time & finance management; to save an amount each month, and ensure i’ll be home for dinner at least twice a week
3. find chances to upgrade myself; reading books, attending courses and picking up something new
4. blogging with photography; actively bringing my camera out, blogging at least once a week
5. bible study; feeding myself with daily bread every day, and remembering to pray before i eat
6. beautify myself; facials, massage, scrubs, moisturizing and cosmetics
each year i make the same resolutions, each year i have never consistently fulfill them. so this year will be a year i enforce discipline and diligence to make sure the resolutions made are fulfilled. of course, with the help of my dear friends 
so, happy happy chinese new year for all. may you gain health and money in the year of dragon (woots, dragon!) and be a very very happy man.
with love much,
