It has been quite an eventful year for my career. The journey can be seen like a roller coaster ride and with a super dip at the end of the ride.
The graph above shows clearly my state of being in the year 2008.
This roller coaster ride has been the toughest and most tiring ride for the past 10 years of my life. From my first career which has been feeding me well (very well in certain months with bonuses), to a not-as-well-feeding career and finally to one that has been nice but isn’t feeding me well enough during the time of my life.
But now, at the end of the year (where I used to be able to afford go for holidays, buy nice gifts for christmas and spend good money on myself), I’m in such a bad state that I’ve to find means to sell off things I own which is in sell able conditions and live off Abang’s income (which I’m feeling very guilty and trying hard not to).
My spirit has been very badly shaken by the huge downfall financially and this has affected my personal life and well being. I don’t know how much more I can continue to let the blue line go on down like that. The longer this down line go, the harder and longer it will be for me to make a come back in that area. But I hope with the ever energized me filled with enthusiasm and creativity, the come back financially will be accelerated significantly.
To sum up my career journey in 2008 – It was a bittersweet experience.
My Career Resolution for 2009
To establish my company and grow its brand in the local social media scene. To be able to afford a decent office for my team and to expand out of Singapore by 2010.
PS: If you would like to help contribute to Claudia’s Pocket Money Fund, you can send a cheque to be, transfer to my DBS account or pass cold hard cash when you see me. OR! You can hope on over to my garage sale to see if there’s anything that will be useful for you. Help me clear my stash and also contribute to Claudia’s Pocket Money Fund. Thank you very much!
Why didn’t I get ready the posts way before this week? Now I’ve missed my Day 2 posts! And now my eyes are already closing! How to write day two now? And later in the day, there’s Tech65′s party at Geek Terminal and dinner with my cousins!
Looks like I’ll be missing Day 3 too!
This is no good! Bad Claudia!!
Day 2 is supposed to be a reflection of my career in 2008 and Day 3 is supposed to be a reflection of the events (personal) that I want to highlight for 2008! Hope I can squeeze some time tomorrow to get these posted.
Good night for now!
It’s the first day of Christmas and also the start of my week long of reflection and resolution. This is a good chance for me to look back to the past year and see what I’ve done, failed to do and what I should do for the year ahead.
This one week of reflection and resolution will end on 31 December 2008, just in time to welcome the new year.
For a start, here’s a reflection of (some) events and gatherings for the people by the people.
(Did a calendar for myself with the collection of photos over the year. Looks pretty nice so I’m using them here in my first post…)
