A brand new year 2009

Another year has gone by. I can hear fire-crackers being light up from the field of the local council of my residential area. Hey, wait a minute. All shots died down unknowingly. Seems like they have trimmed the budget for this celebration this year. They don't need taxpayers telling them there's a recession going on. Good for my dearest Pepsi and Corgie and the cats too.

Dino dad is already zzzzz soundly. Not much happened today except worked till passed 8pm to complete a magazine ad for a ridiculous client who puts everyone else's deadline at the back seat of this car. Because of him, we'd cancelled our trip to Hatyai today. 

But the day ended well with 2 positive feedbacks, for Dino dad, one - from the buyer who finds our proposed selling price of crude coconut oil favorable, two - received 2 seller agreed to offer the coconut oil at USD500 per tonne. Hurray! i'd like to think that we ended the year with a possible deal, a deal so good that it could make me a housewife for at least two years, so that it can fall into our plan to really take things easy when the next pregnancy comes around.

Dino dad, a jia day master with a strong bazi. Controlling and exhaustive elements such as geng and ding have been said, by a few masters, would be useful in 2008 as it was a yang earth year. Sure enough, for the first time in many after getting to know bazi study, the yang earth year 2008 had opened up three business diversification opportunities - international trading in scrapped-engines, coconut oil and bird nests. As a matter of fact, one successful shipment of scrapped engines had landed at Port Klang from Australia and delivered to a client in Shah Alam last week, and one batch of bird nests had landed in Foshan, China in November . That was no million-dollar deal, no matter how drooling we are, but it was a neat eleven thousand profit. Good enough for now, at least there's money made while still picking up valuable real-life practical exports and imports lessons. And, needless to spend tens of thousands for a degree on this.

To hell for Malaysian economy. Its too small a pie to share. Earning foreign currency is our main resolution for the next few years. The world-over is where we shall be digging and looking for our first pot of gold. 

Though Dino dad's bazi is endowed with three wealth elements; two on heavenly stem and one on the earthly branch, we have yet to fathom how much do all these elements actually worth. No masters have ever gone this deep with us. Can they tell? Can a person's nett worth be read from a bazi? Damn! regret that i didn't ask Joey Yap on this. Darn! Amber Cheah has gotten the first taste of her RM2 million nett worth of wealth luck in just less than four years since her contract with Guess back in 2004. There could be more coming for her in the near future as she is setting her aim at Hollywood. Arrrrggggg.....how much is our nett worth????

Damn, already swearing by the first hours of a new year. Heck, i am already feeling tired even on this start of a new year. Because, the economy has been predicted to be continued gloomy and uncertain. Everyday, there are CEOs and economists painting fear all over the business sections. We are facing huge A&P budget trimming exercises from Clients. On the other hand, some clients have been secretly whispering in my ears their fear of possible lay-off. Ai......... kasihan also, la.

Well, at least the annual prosperity star 8 will be arriving in the west sector and we have already moved our bedroom to receive it. That's one consolation. But poor Dido dad ended his year with a cracked fifth finger. Badly hurt while shifting the bedrooms. Ai........... it will take months to heal.

For me, i might be going to the hospital this weekend to have a second hermorroid removal surgery. Its bad situation for me if it gets worse tomorrow. This time i am going for the laser option.

What a blasted year-end for me!
