The year of the strong ox

15 more minutes to the closing of the lunar work year 2008. I've packed up my desk, cleared and filed away all the KIVs in the tray, prepared my to-do list for next Thursday (I'm siao, I know), brought a couple of files home to work on over the long weekend, even had a slice of yummy pizza courtesy of a CNY-mood-siao colleague, and I'm all ready to hit the lunar 2009 year running.

2009 is gonna be great, I know it is! :D

Success isn't determined by your gifts, your abilities or your opportunities - it is determined by your ability to develop a great team.

The Law of the Inner Circle - those who are closest to you determine the level of your success.

Interesting thought of the day by John C Maxwell.

I burnt dinner last night. Such a humbling experience. And I mean, really. Not humiliating, but humbling. First time I managed to burn dinner. Hopefully, it's the last time I do that. Not fun to scrub the blackened plates and burnt meat. And I hope my pot is not eternally blackened - tonight I need to handle that. But yeah, this is something I should never forget - never steam till a pot is dry. Dumbo me.

Still alive. Too many things on my plate. And CNY this year is so early! The deco is up, and we've got the house spick and span (after 2 full weekends of vigorous cleaning, which was not that torturous all thanks to Part Time Maids Services PTMS Sdn Bhd). Only 5 more days left to complete the work deadlines before the long balik kampung weekend.

Aiyo, only 5 more days? No time to stop then - ta!
