Is 2007 ! Is new year…new year brings new hope. 2006 for me was not smooth, bumpy but still I get through it unscathed, and a as a better man, when things get tougher, the tough ones get going.

My poor car is the most unfortunate in 2006, all 4-tyres got to change because it is showing early sign of crack and cost me RM 500, then got knocked sideway by a motorbike (I think happened twice), first time hit on the rim, costs me RM50 for rider medical fee, second time hit on the side way, costs me RM300 for the whole compensation package. Then recently my car windscreen has a small hole measuring 3mm in diameter, havent got time to fix it yet, got to cost me another fortune. But still my car rocks, giving me uncompromising performance when I need it most !

My IT department also got the most allocation fund for 2006, I refurbished my desktop after 5 years cycle from Pentium 4 to Pentium D with a powerful GPU. Then I bought myself a 2.9k dell core 2 duo laptop which is quite worth it, coz dell is selling 3.9k now to clear core duo inventory haha.  I also ventured into the XBOX 360 next generation game console which is topping the chart of north america game console now with 9.4 mil sold vs mere 800k figure from PS3. The game console is a power hungry tri-core processor machine but it rocks when online content and its games. Too bad it is a bit expensive for the software content, have to shop smartly.

On the good stuffs, I been to California for the first time, I been to DISNEYLAND which is the best place with my beloved honey, my brother registered this December 9th, I brought my dad and mom to watch their first film in cinema after so many years, I spent more time with my family which is good ( I always want to do that), I spent more money eating good food (which is good also, considering most of the food is nice), and I also drafted my first solid financial plan for 2006 and 2007 which is a start for me and currently all is on-track.

On the Penang development fronts, no improvement other than Queensbay mall which is less than 4km away from my home, NICE & COOL ! I now spent like 5 out of 7 days there. Guess what, I found sold out transformer figures & RM21 transformers collection book here….guess yourself why is it so cheap. ;P

On the supernatural fronts, gosh who would have guessed my hometown in Segamat will ever get flooded in that magnitude (unbelievable). But my family is fine and property damages is minimum but not that fortunate for many of my relatives and friends staying in KG ABDULLAH, I wished them all the best and get all the help possible to get back on their feet. Will go back in CNY to help them in the area I can.

My resolution for 2007, will be to transition myself into the 2nd phase of life which is to settle down by registering with my beloved honey first, start exploring opportunity for financial investment, spend more wisely and reduce discretionary expenses on IT stuffs and "Transformers" department. 2007 will continue to be a challenging year for me mentally and financially, but I strongly believe everything will end up well and I wish all good luck hunting in 2007 !
