2007 wrap-up

旅遊 Travel
2007
希望2007年的旅遊計畫能順利達成，包括2月去巴西、4或6月用免費里程去一趟日本、夏天去澎湖、9月或10月能去一趟柬埔寨的吳哥窟和西哈努克海灘，最好還能順道去曼谷走走。

In the end, I went to Brazil in Feb. and May, also had a trip to Penghu in Sep. Didn't go to Japan and Angkor wat. Not to mention Bangkok. In 2008, Japan trip is confirmed. Maybe visit Bali in May and Indo-china before the end of this year.

環境 Environment
2007
希望2007年我能少開一點冷氣。2006年夏天每天我好像回房間固定都會開個冷氣，這樣真的不太好，科學家預言2007年會是地球史上最熱的一年，北極冰 棚也掉了一大塊，連一個位於印度孟加拉邊境的有人小島也消失了，今年夏天我每天上班一定要記得把電腦關掉，這樣才不會讓電腦的熱氣在鋪有木頭地板的房間加 溫，藉此減少開冷氣的次數。 I hope I can turn the A/C on in fewer days. I turned the A/C on everyday in summer 2006. I felt like an Earth killer.

I can't recall whether I did keep this promise or not. But I did turn on the heater less often this winter.

理財 Finance
2007
2007年基金投資希望能維持在現有約4筆的數目，但要著重進場時機，適當調配，不要像去年生技和能源都買在高檔。另外也要盡量存錢、善用信用卡。 Keep those 4 funds, but with a smart timing and target. I also should save more money and use the credit card to manage my spending.

In 2007, I did make some money in my fund portfolio. Emerging market and ASEAN have an average 30% yield. Not Bad.

家庭 Family
老爸今年退休，所以希望2007年盡量每個禮拜回家吃一次飯，多陪陪家人。
My dad decides to be retired this year. Thus, I hope I can spend more time on them and have dinner with them at least once a week.

My dad was sent to the hospital in May when I was in Brazil. He has stayed there since then. So I did go home every weekend to see him in the hospital. Hope he can get well soon.


工作 Work
希望今年能順利換公司，目標是外商，否則也要本土科技大廠，希望能做國際業務的工作。若沒辦法換公司成功，那今年也要好好學習專利分析、鑑價的功夫。

I wish I can change a company in 2007, hopefully an foreign company or a local tech 100 company. I'd like to apply for a job like international sales person. If things goes wrong, I should learn some skills about patent analysis and evaluation.

I have a new job now. It's a very challenging job and occupies most of my time.


生活 Life
希望今年可以訂一下數位時代，才會強迫自己每期都看，否則像去年有時一忙就會忘了去書店翻翻，而且看的也不仔細，另外每天早上看聯合新聞網的時間減少一點，分一點時間去看NYT或是Washington Post，不然擺在電腦書籤裡每個禮拜只看一次也沒有效果。

I plan to subscribe Biznext in 2007. I also should spend more time on reading NYT or Washington Post, instead of UDNnews.

I subscribed BizNext and BusinessWeek in 2008. BizNext is not as good as I expected. On the other hand, BusinessWeek is quite good.

運動 Sport
今年希望能照樣維持去年衝浪的好習慣，從2月衝到11月，這樣週末比較不會東想西想的，另外希望能在2月前把保齡球學好一點，看能不能突破100分，健身的部分希望體重能增加到71-72，肌肉量維持，少一點健身的時間，多一點生活的時間。

Keep surfing in 2007. I should also learn bowling. Gain some weight to 71-72 Kg. Spend more time on living and less on working out.

No time for surfing in 2007. Weight around 70 kg. I did spend less time in workout, but it's due to my busy work. No life at all!

態度 Attitude
希望我能更成熟、穩重

My busy job makes me more mature, indeed.
