HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A few things to look ahead to:
Jan - CNY! actually i have grown past the stage whereby ang bao used to be like one of the main event of CNY. Nonetheless the festive season is always great time for gathering and to meet some relatives you probably see once a year.
Also the start of Year 1 Sem 2. My resolution? Maintain my cap, and hope i can get the scholarship. I know that 4 years is a long time, and i know i might not like the hospital or polyclinic environment, but i believe every pharmacists should go through the patient-orientated pharmacy practice before they venture out. My interest, lies in the RnD for medicine development, so even though Singhealth is a healthcare provider, I plan to use it as a stepping stone before i further my career elsewhere.
Feb: my driving test. Hope can pass ah, driving lesson is a huge financial burden man. Because of this burden, I can't start my investment plan. I always wanted to start investing , remember the word is investing, not speculating. I believe successful investment in stocks and bonds, or even property, is not about age, a common misconception. Whether you are old, or young like me, what it takes are skills and knowledge. I plan to start young to learn more. I have read up on the required knowledge i.e method to calculate the intrinsic value of companies. I know i am not financially stable yet, that's why i only plan to start small, and take my time to learn the skills involved. Unless you are an entrepreneur or probably waiting for the your day in TOTO or 4D, the only way to grow your income is through investment. Fixed salary employment will only sustain your lifestyle, but you rarely outgrow it. Investment is not for a faint hearted, but i believe if you do enough research , and not be reckless, it should be beneficial.
June: sian ICT . If 6 months is the minimum time they needed to inform you, they did it at the very end. It was on 16th decem that i gt the SMS-ed, exactly 6mths before the end of my ICT, which is 16th June 2012.
