Gong Xi Fa Cai and wishing you all have a healthy and wealthy year ahead in this new year!

Sorry for my late wishes as I was too busy with my new year preparation and heavy workload in the office.

As usual, i went back to Malacca to celebrate chinese new year with my family.  The happy moment past very fast, today is already the 6th day of Chinese new year!  I have already get back to my workplace on Friday. 

The heat of chinese new year was not there if compared to last year, this is due to the bad economy downturn in the world which had badly affected us in Malaysia too, especially those in manufacturing industries.   The situation is predicted to be worsen after the celebration of Chinese new year, as more retrenchment can be foreseen, and pay-cut due to reduce production in the factories…

So, a lot of people have to tighten their belt, think wisely before making any purchase for the celebration.   
Nowadays, to save more is viable than to spend more, in order to prepare for any unexpected emergency needs in the near future.

Eventhough with less spending this year, we are able to celebrate this “Ox” year with great happiness and meaningful…it is all depends on how you celebrate it and with whom you celebrate it with!

I truly hope that you too have a great Chinese New Year and wish this Chinese “OX” Year will bring us good luck and full of excitement to all of us in the world!

I hereby present to you these “LUCKY” cute OX in this chinese new year, hoping that they will bring you and your family healthy and wealthy year ahead.  GONG HEY GONG HEY!!!

Year 2008 has finally ends few hours ago!  I believe most of us are always look at the past on the new year’s eve, to see what we have done so far in the past, whether we have achieved our goals or fulfilled our new year’s resolutions set in the beginning of the year!  If not, what can we do to make it happen, what went wrong, and how to resolve it in the coming new year!  And of course, plan ahead for the new year!

The most importantly is the past has already past, now is the critical time to plan ahead for your coming new year, or what we say a “Realistic” Goals!  Make sure we don’t repeat our mistakes made in the past.  This is important for everyone, especially those who eagerly want to succeed in their lives!  A good and realistic plan ahead will determine your future success! 

Not only plan your new year’s resolutions, but it is good to disclose it out if you want to make it happen, cause by doing so you will have a commitment to work it out and share your achievement with whom already knew your new year’s resolutions at the end of the year!     

I am not going to reveal my year 2008’s resolutions here, as i didn’t disclose it here too.  But i will disclose my 5 major New Year’s Resolutions for 2009 here, and will share my achievement at the end of the year with all of you too!  You may not be interested to know, but i do it for myself, i want to commit my goals, and will make it happen!  Here, it goes…

1.  Healthy Living
    I have been practising quite a long time to sleep late at night, which is definitely bad for health.  The golden time for our body metabolism process is between 10pm - 1am, this is the time when our liver functioning to extract out toxin from our body if we sleep well.  A good eating habit, and more exercises is also good for health beside sleep early. 

2.  Multiple Sources of Passive Income
     Now everywhere is facing economy crisis, which affected a lot of people who has been retrenched due to companies downsizing or even seize operation.  In other words, there is no job security in the market who is under employment like me.  Depending solely on a “Job” to fund your living is no longer a way to live in this society.  This situation is very obvious especially in this economy crisis, most of them being retrenched from their ”Only” job, are having difficulties in finding another job to fund their living.  And a job itself can’t make us more money for future emergency needs!  Reason being is that people now have more commitment to take care of and what they earn is just enough to cover their monthly commitment, so left little for savings!  So, this is the main reason why i started my internet marketing business, beside giving me another sources of income, but more time to spend with my family! 

3.  Monetary Value of USD10,000 A Year (Part Time)
    To set a “realistic” figure for my internet marketing business, i will give myself a Net Earning of USD10,000 per year, i know this is achievable provided if i work it the “correct” way with the “correct” mindset and attitude.  Some experienced Internet Marketer will say it is too low, cause they can make more than 10x of what i have set for myself easily.  Of course, i won’t set it too high, for a newbie like me, this is very encouraging if i can achieve it!  Again, this is my minimum target, of course i will try to hit it as higher as possible!!  Just to clarify, this is only my part time extra income, as i am currently working full time.       

4.  Travel to Overseas
     A break is needed after a year long hard work!  My life slogan is “Live our lives to the fullest”!  Enjoy our lives everyday, reward ourselves for our hard work!  This is the way i reward myself if i achieve my target earning of USD10,000 net a year (3rd New Year’s Resolutions)!  I will reveal to you my place of visit end of the year, depending on how much i have achieved! 

5.  Lose Additional 3kgs in Weight
     I am currently a little overweight by 2Kgs, so by practising a healthy lifestyles and more exercises in this new year, i hope i can achieve my Ideal weight of 50Kgs by end of the Year!

Generally, these are my 5 major New Year’s Resolutions set today.  I want you all to be my witness and act as a “Drive” for myself to make it happen!  Thanks for spending your valuable time to read my post here, and i take this opportunity to wish all of you have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!

Cheers!
