The year has started brightly with pockets of downtime, but generally life is good and although my balance sheet still shows that I am currently negative, my potential to become positive has improved leaps and bounds. I will still work hard to make my life better, and of course to make lives for everyone around me better.
The year began with a bang in Malacca where I took the plunge and went on a short visit with the 7Seas to this UNESCO heritage town. The town has changed alot since I last went during my NS exploration trip. Apart from the historical sites, life in the town has seemed to become busier than before. There are more cars and sky-heading buildings than before. Hopefully the Malaysians living there have a better life with more tourism dollars and investments put into their town.
The food in Malacca is awesome and I wouldn't not recommend one to drive there with some friends or family to take a foodie trip once in a while. There are so many local choices which will not disappoint you. However beware of the energy content! As for the hotel, I think it is a tad expensive to be living in the Equatorial Hotel although I say it's premium rooms have lots of space and that sun-bed has inspired me to think of ways to put one into my tiny room as well. Hahaha.
My work in UBS has got to a good start as I am starting to get a good idea of what the department does and what is important in the job. Hopefully I will finish learning the stuff there soon and find a way to join the client facing side...
RedSands will continue to trudge on with minimum petrol until I find a killing formula with it. I am still thinking along the lines of a ice cream-gaming bar. Wonder if bubble tea will be more popular than ice cream for a long run or not.
That's about all I can think of now. =x

It's freezing cold in Sim Lim Tower as I type this but typing this makes me feel warmer I guess.
I managed to steal a look at a post 2 years ago. It looks like this:
this is wishlist for birthday #26! actually this is more for recording how silly am i when i look at it again in the future.
unrealistic but achievable wishlist
a. win a $100000 4d b. buy a new computer c. clean up my room and refurnish it d. go holiday with friends
realistic and achievable wishlist a. a MP3 player like iKube or Ipod (essential) b. a sleek wallet without a coin slot (essential) c. a pair of comfy, stylish slippers (essential) d. a pillow (non-essential) e. a new handphone (essential) --> buying myself f. a sports backpack (essential) g. a bicycle (non essential) h. play 3 rounds of mahjong (non essential)
i suppose this year's list is quite simplistic and all are self achievable within the month, so i am very happy. =)
Interestingly, over the past 2 years I had actually received (in list B), a, b, c, d, e, f, and h all from people. And I bought the bicycle myself somehow some time ago. I can't recall the date but the poor bicycle is now languishing at YCK.
As for list A, I managed to do C and D while A and B are no longer important to me (okay, A is a very good bonus, but it is ridiculously difficult after all).
Finally I wonder if people are able to read this at all. It's been 2 years since I last wrote. Does it matter anymore?

I am standing by the roadside waiting for my parents while they are at singing class. Just eaten ponggol Nasi lemak by myself. The food is acceptable and not so oily. It sucks to eat alone as it is difficult to find seats. After I settled down by sharing a table with 2 guys, one of them just returned with his nasi lemak and as he stooped down to wipe the seat off, his left hand gave way and the whole plate was gone. Irritating idiot! He was indeed lucky as the stall aunties offered to replace a plate for free and also helped him clean the table. However I was peeved when he refused to eat the chicken which dropped on the table as the auntie asked him if he could eat that. Cmon u made e mess u shud suffer e consequences. His "bu ke yi la auntie" was the most insolent reply I heard today. But this just shows one truth - the customer is king.
