Happy New Year 2012 :-)

It's time of the year again ... last day of the year for 2011. It seems only yesterday that I greet 2011 and now it is certain the sun will set today to end the year. It also means a beginning for 2012. What I would like to do at this time of the year is to reflect the past year and kind of do a wrap up before embarking on 2012 (the last human year according to Mayan calender).

2011 had been a good year. Let's start by reviewing my 2011 resolutions:
  1. Restore back my relationship with my family and friends. - Done
  2. Reading books that had been collecting dust. Still collecting dust
  3. Run my first full marathon. - Register but did not run. Finnish 3 half marathon.
  4. Climb the highest mountain in South East Asia (Mt. Kinabalu). - Done
  5. Enrolling for a post graduate course (its always my dream to attend my own convocation).  - Not done
All in all, I am OK with what I had achieved for year 2011. Even though its nothing to brag about but certainly felt a sense of joy. In terms of working, its up and down. After completing a big project and moving to another product portfolio hasn't been easy. I did learn how to manage organization change and learning to deal with people with different personality.

For self, I think I do more exercise. Mountain biking,running and badminton had been my main exercise. One of the highlight was to complete the round Penang island bike event. It was one heck of an experience where biking in heavy rains can be exhilarating.

For self development, I did felt that I start to analyze more and can relate to people more. I still need to improve on my time management, interpersonal relationship and self discipline.

For relationship, well ..... thanks for giving me the opportunity.... I will do my best to sustain and continue to improve the relationship further. Any comments?

To sum it up, for 2011 I learned to live a sustainable life I need to eat well, exercise more and have a balance life (balancing between work and self).

What's in store for 2012:
  1. To spend more time with family and friends. To spend more time with my dad.
  2. Sustaining a healthy life style. To exercise more and eat healthily.
  3. To sustain a healthy relationship with my dear.
  4. To define my next career move.
  5. To read more books.
I hope I can go for a family trip this year. All in all, I hope to spend my time and money wisely.

Happy New Year 2012. Stay healthy and stay happy. Good bye 2011 and Hello 2012.
