Goodbye 2006, Welcome 2007

I love year end because peoples are in holiday moods, children are having school holidays so parents are not busy with children school schedule, more public holidays, Christmas and New Year celebrations. And of course routine year end family tour. Love to see the world are looking forward to kick off a brand new start. I would like to say I have a fairly share of ups and downs in 2006. I'm happy to say that there are more ups than downs. 2006 is a busy years for me and hope I can strike a healthier lifestyle between work and family in this coming 2007. I believe 2007 will be a challenging and exciting year ahead for me. Well, I'll review my company and personal "SWOT" and make changes for better. Be positive, Be cheerful and Be Cool............

This year, I celebrated Christmas at my good friend's place..Wow the ham & Turkey were yummy!! and year end dinner with my company at Peach Garden at 33 level OCBC building. Dishes were yummy too! Going forward will go for Countdown and Countup celebration at my younger sister's place. More kilos to my weight too!!

I like to wish my parents, all my family members and friends a very happy prosperous new year :) good health, good luck and many happiness in 2007.

A memorable New Zealand Trip..ya..ya it look like a...

Well, woke up a 5am and cannot sleep again..partner snoring loudly..perhaps he was too tired!
He has been very busy with office works after the New Zealand trip. Ok..I will write briefly about our recent New Zealand trip. Total 10 of us. Parents, my elder sister with her teenage son and daughter, my family and one of our teenage nephew. I always feel that whenever I go holiday with family members, I always become the family tour guide. At times, it can be quite tired and cannot really enjoy ...hope soon any of my niece or nephew is mature enough to take over the role as " family tour guide". There were too many" IF" for our trip because of the "IF" therefore we have chances to experience more than expected. Let's treat it as "opportunity cost"

1) IF CTC did not cancel our original schedule, we'll not book the 28 Nov - 5 Dec 06 trip.
Bcos of the cancellation, we were given a free city tour in Sydney.
2) IF we did not go on 28 Nov 06 flight, we will not meet the bad weather.
3) IF we did not meet the bad weather, our flight will not detour from Sydney to Melbourne.
Give us the chance to go Melbourne.
4) IF we did not miss our connected Qantas flight in Sdyney to Christchurch. We will have no chance to take NZ Airline and they serve very nice food.
5) IF we did not miss our 1st day itinerary and swot some of the itinerary, we will have no chance to "meet" Mr Snow!!
6) IF everythings went smoothly...we will not be able to LOL..sure all of us still enjoyed the trip despite all the "unpleasant" things happened. I'm sure it was a memorable New Zealand Trip. Ya..ya..it look like a "man" a tall man..or a short man..This is what i often hear in the coach!! Miss Swan....
