2012/2013

Realised I've made very few posts over the past few couple of years... Well, with facebook and twitter, I don't think people do blog often as frequent as it started?

-----------------
2012 in review

- Change to a new job appointment
With the reorganization of my prev organisation, coupled with the desire and need to move on to experience a new job scope, I moved to my current appointment in Feb this year.  Well, so far so good.  Good boss and good colleagues, plus good mentors to learn from.  Will be some time before I move on again I guess

- Wedding
How can this don't come up right? Been spending a number of months looking for hotels, choosing photos, choosing the gown etc etc in the lead up to the day.  Though ended up as predicted (and pre-empted countless times) by my wife that I would leave all the planning to the last min, I still think it was a good show. (Well.. given that I managed to send on the program 10pm the night before, and finish writing the "thank you" script 2 hours before the dinner)

- Honeymoon
Something my wife and myself was looking very much toward to.  First time I've actually travelled so far so long.  Spent a bomb too.  Haha.  Well, probably don't have chance to experience a trip like it for quite some time.  Local tour? Checked.  Self drive? Checked.  Thank XD and LJ for contributing part of the trip as their wedding gift for me too.

-----------------
Forward to 2013

- New Flat
Yes, my flat should be arriving in 3rd Quarter 2013.  Can look forward to quite a fair bit of time (and lots of "discussions" with my wife) to source for the desired reno and furnishing.  Well... I'll apply the 3 principles of procurement even in my personal life.

- Exercise
Given that I am outgrowing my clothes (including the pants I tailored made for my wedding), I think I need to action.  Lets not be too ambitious, can I target just once per week? (Given that my body aches for 4 days after a session of volleyball these days...)

- Upgrade
I spent my 2010 and 2011 completing my part time masters. But what did I achieve in 2012? Nothing in terms of personal upgrading.  2013 shall be a fresh start and lets look forward to achieving something out of office. I'll start by (re)learning malay!
