A brand New Year A brand new start
Well, since it is the new year, I guess i shall do some resolutions:
1) Exercise regularly. At least 2 times a week
2) Bring my weight down by 10kg!
3) Have more discipline and focus for my new career
Shall keep it simple for now :)
Thought it would be interesting to reflect on how the past year has been and how accurate those CNY predictions are...
Year of the Tiger 2010
The Rooster
The Rooster is always popular, extravagant and creative.. They can be brutally honest and generally like being showered with attention. They are wonderfully loyal friends and also give advice freely – whether they are asked for it or not! Family means the world to the Rooster and they are fiercely loyal to those they care about. (I would like to think that 2nd half is true... I am not sure about the popular, extravagant and creative part though...)
Forecast for 2010
The Year of the Tiger will have mixed fortunes for the Rooster, but by staying calm, observant and flexible, the Rooster will glide through 2010 coming out much wiser, stronger and with great success behind him (Hmm... I am not sure about that...). He will be in much demand for his sage advice and experience and, at work, this will come to the notice of his employer (Well, i think this is partly true for my previous job. They did start to ask more of my opinions and trust me more). Many will also decide to go back to college this year or completely change the direction of their career (Hmm... wonder if this covers the bloody studying I had to do to qualify as a Financial Adviser?). Travel features quite strongly with the Rooster seeking out adventure, fun and new places to visit (Well, I did go to HK and Macau). A word of caution: all Roosters must ensure that they don’t overdo things – exhaustion and a depleted immune system will result if proper rest isn’t taken (This happens all the time). Home life will bring many joys and will be seen as a cosy sanctuary throughout the year (Err... nope...). The Spring months and November and December will be excellent for intimate romantic encounters (Err.... nope... unless Rick and Sylvia's wedding counts as a romantic encounter).. March and July to October will be the optimum time for making career decisions or to change jobs (Well, at least this was accurate).
So let's see how 2011 predictions fare. Cos it looks damn "cham". For those who are interested, I got it from:

Both parties must learn to be patient with each other, understand and care for each other to maintain the relationship. For those who are married, the marriage is prone to the intrusion of a third party, conflicts will happen and disputes will cause a breakdown of relationship. It is also recommended for the couple to understand and forgive each other, treasure the happy life that both of you are leading right now. For singles, it is better to think twice when choosing a partner, get to know the each other well to determine if he/she is your ideal partner. When in dilemma, seek opinions and views from the elders.
