and so 2008 has come and gone, and once again, I haven't been able to keep to my promise of diligently updating my blog. But oh well, hopes springs eternal, and let's keep our fingers crossed I will do just that come 2009!
2009, a year ushered in by uncertainty generated admist the global recession, a year when friends from my batch would be graduating, a year when there are important decisions to be made.
Perhaps of greatest significance, and most challenging, is trying to secure an internship with one of the financial institutions overseas (HK, New York, Philly)--- news such as BFOA completing its acquisition of ML, Morgan Stanley merging its brokerage unit with that of Citigroup's, Deutsche announcing record losses in its trading acitivities... certainly adds to the challenge. The only silver lining is if all else fails, I can always look forward to a good break back home in Singapore, or tour the Nordic countries with Zhida and Jason! But I am definitely not giving up on my hopes!
so 2009 I shall be more self-centric, and my 2009 resolution is: a better me-- investing in yourself! Hopefully a better me gives me greater self-confidence in the things I do and puts myself more at ease around my family and friends, and gives me the right to want to take care of someone, and to want to fall in love!
Heading for HK tmr for half a day, looking forward to meeting my HK friends, in addition to touring the Victoria Harbor, with a special fren, who, coincidentally, is Victoria! lol!
2009 is gonna be more awesome than 2008
