Another year has come and gone quickly, we spent New Years Eve with family and friends in the comfort of our home. And how could we not have a good old Aussie bbq to bring us into the New Year.
Originally we planned on catching the train out to the city to watch the fireworks, but I didn’t really care to be stuck on a hot, stinky evening with hoards of people.
Overall I’m pleased with how 2006 panned out, but I felt it lacked something. Not sure what though. Since it’s a fresh start, this time around I will take the time to sit down and plan out the things I want to achieve by the end of the year. A few of the things I’ve wanted are finally happening as well, so I’m off to a good start.
I’ll be a graduating Masters student this year, the ceremony will be held in May sometime. Mother has already asked me what i will be studying next. As much as I have enjoyed studying part time for the last ~ years, i think it’s about time for a break and focus on other aspects. It will be interesting to come back to this post at the end of the year and see what i’ve achieved during the span of 12 months.
Anyways as a reward, I’m treating myself to a holiday, I’ve never really had a holiday since i started working, I always had the combination of full time work and part time study, which left me little free time. I’m happy to report that i’ll be leaving for asia, begining of March, spending a month siteseeing, stress free. My little sister Doris tells me it’s foodie mecca, maybe not in those exact words but close enough.
I have a backlog of post that need to be published too, so hopefully by the end of the week most of them will be up.
