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.

I’m beginning to feel that my blogging is getting kinda sad. It somehow seems like life has come to a standstill for me. Nothing I do seems like a blogable post. When one’s life get bored, their blog becomes boring too isn’t it?

I know, I know! You’re going to ask why am I changing theme so often. Recently I changed the layout of this blog, and now I’m changing the theme! Claudia is too free liao lah! *cough*

Actually no, I’m not that free, I’m just getting tired of the darkness from my previous theme and needed something to freshened it up. Don’t you think this is so much brighter now? Also added a sitemap (finally!) to this 4-year-old blog.

Over the next few days (or maybe weeks or even months!), I’ll be trying to customized this theme, adding new plugins, working on some categorizing of my uncategorized posts.

I might disappear from blogging, facebook and plurk for awhile. Firstly cause I’m sick! 3rd day already! Hope Panadol Flu Max will work wonders tonight. And also I need to sort out the mess I’ve created in my life. Nope, nothing is wrong with my relationship with Abang, in fact, we’ll be celebrating our 5th anniversary on 10 Nov 2008 after his exams. The mess I’ve created is kinda work related and I blame it all on my own stupidity and lack of career directions. I hope all will be solved soon. I need to start accumulating my CPF!! If you’ve any openings that you think is suitable for me, drop me a note k?

Till we meet again…
