In my [Looking Back 2011](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2011/12/31/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](https://lesterchan.net/about/toys/#Computers) and a MacBook Air to replace my [4 year’s old MacBook Pro](https://lesterchan.net/about/toys/#Laptops) as well!

I have placed an order on 30th November 2012 for my [27″ iMac (Late 2012)](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2012/12/28/apple-imac-27-late-2012/) and I got it on 26th December 2012 (Boxing Day).

I received my [MacBook Air 13″ (Mid 2011)](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2012/03/29/apple-macbook-air-13-inch-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](https://onezero24.net/) (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!**
