So long and Thanks for all the fish

I woke up 5am today!
Why? Well that is a life of a QA. We have to wake up early in the morning and test new production changes. Of course we can’t change any production system during normal working hours because that would impact our users, so here I am to test the new codes. The good thing about is, I am the only person in the building at the moment, no noisy workers and no one to bother you while you are blogging =P

I completed my work at 7 am, so I am now having my breakfast, milo cereal I brought yesterday. Actually the cereal is not bad, different from the usual all bran cereal I get, but heh I have to try something new… you only live once.

Guess what, it is my birthday this weekend ! Yikes! I am going to be 2& years old!
Man am I old… I remember when I was 10, I would looked up to my older cousins in the 20s and stare at them in awe. Now that I am in the same age bracket, all I know is that I am still lost in this wide world and I still do not know what to do with my life.

Every year I go through this crisis where I try to justify to myself that I have achieve something in my life after another year has gone by. To tell myself that I have not squandered another year away on procrastinations and pure laziness.

What have I done this year?

I am still working in the same company (4 years now)
I have moved out of home
I did not further my studies
I got married
I am broke

I visited Thailand
I work 6 days a week
I own a car of my own (Toyota)
I have no share portfolio or financial plan
I am saving up to buy a place of my first home

So what now?
Have I wasted my year or have I achieve something?
How do I quantify my achievement and failures? If so why should I?
