Bye Bye 2008

It's that all too familiar feeling, of a year passed by and you think back on the much or little that you have accomplished. I thought the year was great up until the massive unrolling of bank and corporation debts, I even thought I would do better business-wise this year. But sadly not so. I remember telling myself that I would reward myself a nice bag if I did well. Thankfully, I saved the money instead and kept it aside for bargain hunting in equities in these dire times.

It all seems a blur now but the famed and highly anticipated Beijing Olympics was in August this year. Sky rocketing petrol prices happened this year too. And not to forget...2008 was a leap year.

As I look towards the year ahead, I feel a sense of hope and apprehension at the same time. Economists forecast a bad year ahead. But with all things at possibly their lowest, we have nowhere to look but up.

I hope the new year will be good for you as well.
