Happy new year to everyone of you!
The year of 2007 is special to me and it is so to my friends as well. I was on the car one day hearing the radio programme for teens, it talks about setting up new goals for the new year. This message wakes me up and recall my old memory that I used to set up goals every year and review those in the previous year. This year, I wish I can put the below in actions :
1) Resume my Japanese Class
2) Get the preparation for marriage in place
3) Spend more time with family
4) Be more loving and patient to my closest, family and friends
5) Do more exercise
6) Be successful in work (but OT less)
7) Save more
8) Learn to cook
To celebrate the coming of the new year as well as my birthday, I had an enjoyable time with my sun and my family. Passing my driving exam on 19 Dec 06, it takes me 7 working days to get the driving license, finally I got it on 3 Jan 07 which is my birthday, what a coincidence! My day start with having a warm blessing from my parents and brothers, then Hank drove me to get the driving license where he got his international driving pass as well. Then, we went to Cova to pick up my birthday cake which is my birthday gift from the priority club of Smartone. I think their loyalty management is quite powerful to have the coupon sent to me just before my birthday while everyone is having long vacation around the end of the year! After that, we went back to home and go 'yum cha' with my parents. It was a full lunch and I know that my parents are happy to see me with Hank sweetly together. One thing I can't miss to share is, I got the greatest gift from my sun on the same day and it's the best gift that I have ever recevied in my past years! Finally I got a ring from my closest and I can't help wearing it immediately with the greatest admiration. Thank you so much!
To make a short conclusion of the year just past, I think I have gone through some major changes in my mentality and personality. Though it might not be as obvious and observable for you guys to notice, I think I am a little bit more mature and I become a happy girl. Through the year, Hank has helped me to realise a lot of valuable experience in my life that make me learn to grow up and be strong. I really need to thank him. Also, I think I also need to thank my boss, though I have some misunderstanding towards him in the very first beginning, he's the person who gave me the flexibility and room to go further for what I believe and gave me the chance to expand and polish my skillsets and strengthen my mind. 2006 is a year of change and travel. It's happy to share that I have :
1) Got my first 2nd prize in lucky draw of annual dinner for $8000
2) Made some business trip that is so special to me
Shanghai : Made 3 full mandarin meetings with the Shanghainese and bought my grandma the best tea she said she have ever had
Taiwan : Made the most unpleasant presentation to the colleagues there and experience the first territorial political dilema
Thailand : Represented my company alone for a press conference for a life broadcast on the government official channel.
3) Made the first public joint promotion that leads to another project in 2007
4) set up a brand new joint venture company from agreements negotiation to press launch and continue this year.
5) Responsible for the offline redemption mechanism and operation of a large event with online ticket booking
6) Took the Japanese level 2 exam (though I am guessing it's a failure!)
7) Made 2 great trips with my sun, an enjoyable exploration in Japan and a relaxing trip in Bangkok
8) Passed my driving exam!
9) Made my first trip to China with my friends for furniture buying that is interesting and good learning for my own home planning in the future
10) Got promoted for 2 grades in less than one year's time
11) First time got my 'manager' title
12) First time letting my parents know about my marriage plan!
I hope I can share far more than now for the year review of 2007 and lead a happy life for the year ahead! I got a busy schedule in this month, hopefully during the CNY time, I can have another good rest !

10 Jan : China factory visit

Miss you my sun, wait you back!
PS: it's really a sad thing to get totally disappointed with a friend known for a long time. I experienced it in the year of 2006, it's the worst thing.
