- Decided to do MBA in 2009.
- Rented out my nice condo
- Holiday cum work trip to Taiwan, spending Christmas and New Year in this wonderful and pleasant city.
- Lost my beloved diamond pendant with silver gold necklace during the trip, determined to get a better one next year

Not a very fruitful year, but definitely a significant one.
If 2006 is the turning point of me going uphill and 2007 is the one I’m coming down, I suppose 2008 is the year I was struggling so much to go up again.
Is 2009 the year of me going up again?

That depends on how I plan to succeed it. I have confidence, if I want, I surely can…
