My New Year’s Resolutions for 2017 (Part 2)

Leave a comment

My New Year’s Resolutions are yearly goals that I set for myself at the beginning of a new year. They usually have to do with fitness, investment, skills upgrading, and so forth.

My Plan for 2017

travel-overseas
Travel Abroad: Traveling is refreshing and rejuvenating. Spending holiday on your local trip might achieve the same result. However, traveling overseas helps you to escape the routine of your life, which leaves you with no other choice than to forget the stresses of home.

I noticed that traveling is something that I’m passionate about and I wanted more of it in my life. I made goals for 2017 to travel more, to gain new experiences and seek out any opportunity I could possibly find.

I love seeing the world to experience different cultures. The places that I will travel next year are.
1. Siem Reap, Cambodia (that one I’ll be ticking off in January),
2. Hangzhou, China
3. Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Besides that, we also need to have some cashflow for emergencies purpose in the event of a financial crisis. As a rule of thumb, we should keep at least 6-12 months of monthly expenses in the form of cash before looking into any kind of investments or paying off any loans and etc.

I’m not sure how many of us do not know about this, our Malaysian government had come out a scheme where frequent users of the closed highways shall get 20% rebate off their toll transactions. This is to lessen the burden of the people.

So, it’s great opportunity for all Penangites as they are entitled to get 20% rebate on the Penang Bridge toll. In the other words, Penangites need only pay RM5.60 compared to RM7 for other users. And, it’s RM1.10 for riders from Penang compared to RM1.40 for other motorcyclists. However, you must use the Touch N’ Go card to be eligible for that. It’s still better than another scheme which requires you need to have minimum 80 transactions per month.
