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?
