[18th DEC] The Year 2008

Tell us about how you feel wrapping up the year 2008.

I have mixed feelings 2008. In some ways it was a great year for me. First, I met my girlfriend early this year and we are talking about marriage.  If we do end up typing the knot, I will never forget that I met her.

I had also decided to study English very hard at the beginng of this year. I think that I kept promise that I made myself. I also had wanted to travel overseas and I did make it to hong kong with a couple of my friends in July.

In other areas, however, I was less than successful. I was strongly determinded to exercise to lose some weight, but failed. Another unfortunate thing about this year was the crash in the global stock market.

 Due to that, I lost almost lost half the money that I invested in the stock market.

 I sure hope the stock market and global economy picks up next year.
