Looking Back 2012
Lester Chan · · · Blog
In my Looking Back 2011 post, I mentioned that I wanted to get a new iMac and a MacBook Air to replace my ageing desktop and MacBook Pro respectively and I did it.
For 2012, my resolution/wish is pretty simple and much cheaper! I just want a new iMac to replace my 4 year’s old desktop and a MacBook Air to replace my 4 year’s old MacBook Pro as well!
I have placed an order on 30th November 2012 for my 27″ iMac (Late 2012) and I got it on 26th December 2012 (Boxing Day).
I received my MacBook Air 13″ (Mid 2011) back in March 2012. My company, mig33, got it for me to replace my old 15″ MacBook Pro.
This year, I got married to Li Xiang (whom I dated for 8 years) in Las Vegas on the 4th January 2012 and I finally balloted for my flats on the 20th June 2012 after trying for 2 years.
For travelling, I was in US till 14th January 2012, this year I also went to Barcelona (thanks to Nokia), Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.
For my 2013 resolution/wish, I want to travel more. Maybe to Australia, Japan, Korea, London or even New York if possible.
I would like to wish all my readers, visitors and supporters a very Happy New Year 2013! May 2013 be a fucking awesome year for us!
