A flashback to 1/1/2007. With results today.
1. Lose 10 Kg. At least. (More reasonable...but not achieved - I blame Melbourne)
2. Keep plugging on at my job and achieve success. (Not bad at all in this area !! Great !)
3. Pass Level 1 of my professional studies and start Level 2. (Passed Level 2 !!!)
4. Keep in touch with most of my friends. (Easily done)
5. Make new friends. (Ha ! Even this week I made at least 2 new buddies ! Cheers to ViBear and YSBear!)
6. Save more money than in 2006. (Technically failed. But should have been expected. Technically, if you look at it, by just not going to Melbourne I would have achieved this goal. And I paid for 3 exams in this financial year too. So. Achieved on technicality.)
7. Go on one overseas trip. (Done - Vietname, Australia, Singapore twice...)
8. Buy less clothes of higher quantity. (Easily)
9. Improve my Chinese, my singing and learn more skills. (I think so...at least relearnt macros)

Result : Achieved 9 out of 10.
