It's time to take a look at the year of 2008.Money: 2008 is definitely not a good year for investors. I was lucky enough to exchange most of my security holdings and mutual funds for cash in the summer of 2008 and avoided huge potential losses. However, I still lose over 100,000 in my pension fund, as most of its holdings were European and North American financial institutions.
Health: I'm generally in good health for the year of 2008. The teeth problems were all fixed after a few trips to the dentist. I was able to exercise more regularly. However, I'm still slightly overweight, mostly due to the failure to resist fine food and snacks.
Career: Static. Considering the insecurities being felt at the tourism and service industries, I felt lucky to still hold this steady and reliable flow of income. The workload isn't very heavy and I got to spend more time with my family. I made at least a couple of enemies at the office and also at least half a dozen friends this year without trying to upset or please anyone on purpose. It's hard to please everyone. Right?
Travel: The opportunity to attend the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics 2008 was the experience of a lifetime. The summer flowers in Hokkaido, cruising in South China Sea, sunset in Xiamen, and numerous trips to Guangdong province and Hong Kong widened my perspectives on life. Through Couchsurfing.com, I was able to meet travelers from Italy, Turkey, the U.S. and the U.K. and experience cultures right here in Macau.
Love: Despite occasional quarrels, the relationship has been quite good. Love and affection is as strong as it had always been.
Lifestyle: I bought wardrobe from French Connection U.K., Columbia, Marks & Spencer, Zara, Uniqlo, Muji, Armani Exchange and Adidas this year. I also bought a Ceska Zbrojovka 75 Standard and a Nintendo Wii as toys. Concerts of Aaron Kwok, Rene Liu, Emil Chau, Jay Chou and José Carreras brought me quite a few memorable evenings.
In Summary: 2008 is OK. I'm looking forward to a better 2009.
