Hello blog, seems like every blog post i write will always start with "it's been a long time....". Haha. It's because I've been on the more convenient social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook more often. The last time i blogged was about half a year back. I guess the blogging habits in Singapore have also revolutionized to cater to the laziness of people who prefer sharing at a click of a button. I'm no exception.
I am late but still decided to stick to my usual routine of consolidating my annual happenings in a single blog post to give the previous year a closure. Doing this always helps me be clearer of how to set my new year resolutions. Goal setting is an essential part of my life.
Generally, in 2016,
1. I took up a 1-day keyboard full day course.
2. I got myself licensed for will-writing and general insurance.
3. I learnt to be independent at exercising and did it more consistently.
4. I became more health and diet conscious.
5. I quadrupled my savings.
6. I sold my Beetle and upgraded to a sexy Mercedes SLK 200.
7. I sang covers more often because it is still my passion.
8. I ran a marathon.
9. I made time to spend quality moments with my family every week.
10. I joined an FA for an upgrade to the services I can provide for my clients.
11. I stopped doing roadshow to focus on value-adding my services to my clients.
12. I'm humbled to be the top existing agent of Jianming agency again
13. I ended the year with a Silver award as a full appointment model agent.
14. I lost 4kg and finally figured out the discipline and methods to healthy weight loss.
15. I traveled to Bali, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Korea.
16. I corrected my eyesight.
17. I went for the first cruise in my life.
18. I brought friends into my career and began my mentorship for them.
19. I started the Client Servicing Loyalty Programme.
20. I made a donation to the bursary which helped me when I was a poor student.
