2011 - 3 quarters of the YEAR gone by....

Every time of this year, I will lament how time flies and we always can't seem to keep up...

Let's see what I've accomplished so far;

Work front
- Crossed trained staff, and rotated among the sections
- Successfully groomed a new Accountant and transferred him out
- Successfully trained the operations managers to be more business savvy
- Successfully conducted the vertical challenge in the hotel

Personal achievements / satisfaction
- Completed 1 half marathon and 1 full marathon
- Got a new 150mm lens, and the new E-P3 camera, and finally splurged on the Billinghams (Hadley Small & Hadley Pro)
- Upgraded to the new Mac Mini with Lion OS (although I still refuses to buy an iPhone :P )
- Got some photos (night shots) which I am personally proud of


The last quarter of the year will see me doing 1 more half marathon and the customary full marathon in Dec, I will also help out in the organisation of the Run for Hope event. And I will also need to train the new Accountant and get the department stabilise again, not to mention the interim audit that is happening in November....

Still have yet to visit the Bird Park and Zoo to try out my 150mm lens, and also to continue to commit to my own self-imposed restriction of 'no more buying of cameras, computing products and accessories'!! My last purchase will be the Bose Sounddock.... after that, I will refrain from spending money on electronic products and accessories until the end of 2012! No specific reasons, just wanted to discipline myself (and challenge myself) from always wanting to get the latest gadgets!

The last part of the year also marks the beginning of my 5th year being a married man, still thinking of what to buy....

Looks like I still got quite a bit to do in the final 3 months....

Chiong ah!!!
