Autumn

It feels like the autumn is really here now, though sometimes the heat during the weekend when I am not working in the freezer-like office is still quite killing.

It's a good time to come visiting Hong Kong, or in other words, a good time to visit most of the places around the world, when you can feel the breeze, enjoy the warmth of the sun without getting too much sunburn, and not worrying putting on/taking off heavy winter coat when walking in and out of the buildings.

Work is not that busy these days, most of the projects are quite on the track, and I only need to do some polish works which are not that time-demanding. As a result, I have more spare time for myself, to be able to go home earlier than usual, to read some books, and to have spare mind wondering around - thinking some travelling plan, study plan, investment/saving plan etc.

Traveling: Choosing in between Egypt or Eastern Europe, approx. travel time between late Oct to Nov for around 10 days. Main purpose is to bring mum and dad to go somewhere further than Asia/Australasia. Time to do something for them instead of always enjoying the fun of traveling on my own :)

Studying: Glad that I finally have the thought to go back to school studying some serious majors (not like language, sports, personal leisure those type of soft topics), but instead of aiming for the whole degree, I will be more likely focussing on some areas like strategy management, financial reporting, venture management which can equip me with more managerial skills to go next level. Still try to search approproate schools considering the transportation time between office and the classroom.

Investment/Saving: Friends might think that I've made a fortune from the bullish HK stock market. Unfortunetaly I didn't cos everytime when I was away from HK, it just went higher for another 1,000 points and right now it's just too risky for me to blindly follow the trend. I was thinking the other day, if I can save a million TWD a year (which is really forcing me not to spend unwisely and more important, aiming for higher income!), I might be able to reach my retire dream more earlier. Reality is, I might not be able to save that more and earn that more, so learning how to be a smart investor is an important goal for me now. Hope it's not too late...

I guess looking for a boyfriend should also be on the list (and according to my colleague, should be on the top priority of the list), but maybe I am out of the game too long and don't know how to plan with. Maybe alongside those above-mentioned plans, I should also add "going to the gym" so that I could enhance my own health and also get to know more people.
