In a few days time, we will be bidding good bye to 2013 and look forward for a brand new year in 2014.. Time really flies.

Had Xmas dinner with family at Crab party on Sunday...I got a cooking pan for mum and toys for nephews..and my second brother got me a Ralph polo shirt..it's good being surprised to receive gift..lol

On Xmas eve, I have a Xmas party with the group of friends that I have known for years..gift exChange, countdown party and games..pretty awesome night..

On Friday, I also gotten the performance appraisal from my boss. I was elated and surprised with the bonus and salary increment.. What a sweet ending at the last working day in 2013. 

I think this year had been a really good year for me..

Hopefully 2014 will be another great year for me. Jan 9 will be the result released for my exam.. Finger cross xx

It's December

It's December and it's time where most people taking leave, holidaying or flying home for Xmas.. It's a lazy month for me at work since is an off-peak period now.. As such, the girls in my office began to decorate the office as well as my desk! 

Went for course on the second week of Dec and hope I can pass the exam to fulfill my goal of being a chartered accountant. Will know it very soon. Haha..went shopping on Sunday and got these toys for my 2 nephews..hope they like it even though it burns a hole in their uncle's pocket (my pocket)..lol..next year will need to get 3 gifts as 1 is on the way (sis in law (elder brother's wife) is pregnant).. Is a joyous news :)

It's been a good year for me so far and I'm really glad about it.. A lot of changes in this year..qualifications, job, environment and responsibility.. Thanks for being there for me j :)

Lastly, I have a lot of plans for 2014..further studies, traveling and better job prospects..

Busy November

November is the peak period for me as all our corporate clients are required by law to submit tax returns to the authority by 30 nov.. With my workload, I have been working 10-12hours since oct to clear my job and prepare the returns.. As well as working on weekends..nevertheless, I still find time to chill and head out..

Went to gardens by the bay on 3 Nov. Due to its public holiday, we get discounts for the entry..pretty nice and worth to go.. Flower dome and cloud dome were pretty cool.

Subsequently, on 16 Nov, head to Sentosa for a day trip. I bought the package from deals.com which cost $38 which includes 2 ways cable cars, sky ride, luge and Segway. The sky were clear and bright until it started to rain heavily at 3.30pm.. What a shame as we did not complete the Segway,luge and the ride. Hate gloomy weather when doing outdoor activities..
