2019 Christmas Letter
24/12/19 01:30 Filed in: Christmas Letters
The year flew by very quickly and it’s Christmas Eve again. I was going to be early and was planning on writing this on the 22nd but, “other urgent matters” (aka “being slack”) took over and so here I am again, writing the letter on Christmas Eve.
My IT consulting business is still experiencing double-digit growth this year (remember that even one new client is double-digit growth for me). Read More…

It’s Christmas Eve, 2018. Almost another year, another $357 - if the saying “Another Day, Another Dollar” is true.
This is probably going to be a short letter for me this year. I haven’t actually done a lot.

2015 Christmas Letter

The letter is a bit late this year because I've had to re-edit and cull the content. I wasn't aiming to write "War and Peace".
A lot had happened this year.
Firstly, let's talk about the "firsts" for me:
I learnt how to make pizza! It started because my sisters wanted to buy a food processor. As it's an electronic gadget, the IT guy in the family (me) needed to review and produce a feasibility study. I watched the online videos and when I saw that we could make pizza dough from the food processor, I was sold! I even went to negotiate the price and picked up the machine!

Christmas 2010

From January, I received news that there would be changes to our Toastmasters Club’s meal costs and new rules on when we needed to vacate the premises.
I had a training course in China which was supposed to happen in May but changed to August. The location was to be Xiamen in China, which was my dad’s home town and would have suited me just fine, but changed to Dalian which is north east from Beijing (and I don’t have any relatives there)!

Christmas 2009

The boring stuff first: Work. Work was so-so, ok, ho hum, nothing to write about. No business trips looked like coming up by first half of the year, so I thought I’d start taking holidays to try and keep up with my Qantas Frequent Flyer status.
