New Year Planning

End of the year, it’s time for me to plan for my next year again. I am thinking what to do next year in order to improve myself better from year to year. Looking back this year, I’ve achieved nothing much. I started to blog frequently and this is considered one of my greater achievements. I was promoted to dept head from just a programmer, but however, I still act like a programmer.

I have been working at this company for 2 and half years. I think it’s time to move on again. The reason I am leaving this company, is simply because IT is not the core business for the company. They are manufacturer for semi-conductor products, and some of the people are not keen to appreciate IT technology. One of them is my boss, he always tell people that IT is the most stupid course to go for. Although I am listening to his whining everyday, I have no hard feeling about him. In fact, the main reason I am considering leaving this company is the nature of the company. This company has stopped investing on new technology; they are still enjoying old mother hood technology. I am not saying I am good in IT, but whatever proposed to them, they will just reject without even looking into it. Their tag line is: “the cost is high”.

Enhancing my career path is definitely part of my plan for next year, but I’ve been dreaming about jumping out from the daily routine job and do something that is really my passion. Not sure if I can achieve that next year. Another thing to worry about is my master’s degree. I have been struggling with my master’s degree in UM for the last few years. I plan to finish it by next year, around end of May.

January will be a busy month for me to do the arrangement and renovation of my new house. My new house will be ready by then and I am just waiting for the CF and house key to move in. I am busy surveying for contractors and furniture, since I’ve got tight budget to work on with. We shall be moving in to new house after Chinese New Year. New Year, New Home!!
