2008 is coming to an end and I need new resolutions. I am really tired of carrying the same resolutions every year! It has become predictable and I know I would not be able to achieve much knowing my past behaviour.
I will turn 41 next year and it is high time that I seriously consider my destiny in this dog-eat-dog corporate world. Afterall, age is not on my side and I am like a woman whose biological clock is ticking vigorously fast. I better do something before I am expired!
Looking back, I can proudly say that I have achieved the goals that I have set on the day I joined MAS. Considering that I am not so politically inclined in the corporate world, I reckon that I am doing extraordinary well compared to the rest of my colleagues who are still stuck here! However, one's perseverance has a limit and I think there are other hidden opportunities which I have yet to discover in the other world!
My only wish in 2009 is to venture into an unchartered territory and who knows I may be the next person to enter Forbes 50 Richest people of the world....

Obama Won and I Miss London!
It was such an historic event last night when Obama won the race and become the President-elect for the USA. I was one of those people who got excited over the winning simply because I have so much hope for better things to come.
Instable domestic political landscape, countries in war, rising fuel cost, financial crunch....It seems that the world is in peril. Uncertainty is everywhere! When Obama won, I look back to his promises made during campaigning ~ with regards to his foreign policies and his promise to review and mend the ties with Muslim countries which show us some lights at the end of the tunnel. I also wish that the stimulus package to salvage the ever declining economy state of the USA will help to keep recession at bay so at least country like Malaysia, which relies heavily on bilateral trade with the USA can minimise the impact of the economy crisis!
While watching BBC that night on Obama historic winning, my attention suddenly caught the city of London at the background. Suddenly, I miss London so greatly! The last time I was there was last year in Summer. Normally, London will be my annual ritual, I have never missed going to London since 2003. I remember strolling the Oxford Street, Marble Arch and walking like a mad man in London since I normally have only one day to buy all the stuff in my list. I also remember visiting my favourite Malaysian Restaurant at Mara Building where I can get a complete meal comprising of rice, meat and vege at GBP5.....
Well, I seldom travel now and if plan to do so, London will definitely be high on the list as the conversion of MYR to GBP is very favourable now.

4 Nov 2008
The date is so significant as it is the USA Presidential Election. Well, technically it is yet 4 Nov in the USA due to the time difference.
It will be an interesting election as I watch it closely. So whose gonna win? Obama or McCain? Why is it so important? To me, it will affect not only the world political landscape, but also the world economy. Obviously, if Obama wins, there would be policies change, for the better, I hope. We have been living in such an instable worldwith wars, financial crisis, pollution, I am just getting fed up!
If Obama wins, he will be the first African-American President for the USA. In a melting pot country like the USA, where the indigineous race are almost insignificant, I reckon that it is not an issue. Afterall, American civilization started long long time ago. So a first black president may gives the USA a different perspective in the way they see things. I am sincerely hoping that the bilateral relationship between Islamic and Western countries to improve. There will be lots of good things to come if this is achieved.
Back in my home country, Malaysia, the UMNO election is also significant as it will chart the ways how this country will be managed next year once the reigning Premier steps down in March 2009. I sincerely hope that these two significant event will provide a twist of changes to the current political and economy climate of the world.
