Performance Review and 2011 Objectives

Yes, after ignoring this blog for more than four months, it's time to update this blog. Well, since I've started this blog, it's only on 2006 that I've missed to update it (if I'm not mistaken, due to I'm writing on my other blog, which is now dead). I don't want to add 2011 to the list. Haha.

For a start, I'll review the objectives that I've set earlier in 2010. Let's recap the the objectives that I've set:

Objectives:

1. Obtain at least one professional cert. My target is CCNP. I need to pass four exam papers to be able to obtain it. Looks like I need to pass at least one paper quaterly.

2. Invest in another property. This will be a bit hard since I will also employ a maid which mean higher monthly expenses. But we will see if this is achievable during my performance review at the end of the year.

3. Memorize Surah As-Sajdah from the Holy Qur'an together with its meaning. I hope that in the midst of the strive to achieve better quality of life in this world, I will not forget why I'm here in the first place.

Comments:

1. Not achieved.

- Short of one more paper.

2. Not achieved.

- Not because of financial constraint, but due to unable to find any suitable property that suits my preference. Yes, I'm very meticulous on this. Of course, it's a long-term commitment. In addition, due to the new 70% LVR, I need to plan carefully.

3. Not achieved.

- I've tried, but......

Results:

Wow, I've failed to achieved all of the objectives! I blame my peculiar working hours for this. Haha. I''ll give "C" rating for my 2010 performance.

So for my 2011 objectives, I'll carry forward the above objectives. Hopefully, I'll achieve it in 2011.
