Reflections…

9 days into the New Year, and I have yet to reflect what I have done so far…well, at least for 2005.

For 2005:

1. My marriage is still holding…into its 4th year (1st marriage ended after 5 years, 2nd marriage lasted 3 years)
2. My daughter Noorunnisaa was born
3. My daughters Noor Farhanah and Nurul Syafiqa become certified Open Water Divers
4. I got my Advanced Open Water certification, Wreck Diving specialty, Deep Diver specialty, Enriched Air Diver specialty, Underwater Photographer specialty, Underwater Videographer specialty, Emergency First Response certification, Rescue Diver certification…and have applied for my Master Scuba Diver rating
5. This is the year I travel abroad least
6. My daughter Noor Fazira did Kids Scuba
7. Still no pay rise…only increment in terms of allowances
8. Made bad judgment with one overseas investment…but still holding on to shares scripts
9. 4 robbers broke into my house at 5.45am in May and held us at knife and machete point. I lost my 11-year old Rolex and my 5 month old Nokia Communicator
10. Punched a few people (that was good)
11. Have yet to complete my SCCR course

For 2006:

1. I’m now doing my Divemaster training
2. Hope to at least become an Assistant Instructor before year end
3. Dive HMS Repulse
4. Conclude my land and timber sales deals (I hate finnicky buyers)
