Reflection

Over the past few days, I managed to have a good conversation with my mom and sisters. It made me realise how little I have been spending time with them. Thats why I am glad that the weekend is finally here. Its an opportunity to spend quality time with them and support them. It is also good that Sunday School has stopped for term break until July. Tomorrow, we are going out for lunch at this Japanese restaurant.
My sister has been gushing about P to me the past few days day. I guess P has the power to make people go ga-ga, myself included. The sister wants me to pass P something when I go over to HK next week. But I do not yet know what it is.
Today, I was introduced to the Schroder's oil fund. Unfortunately, I do not have enough liquid at hand to buy into that fund (min 15k). Considering that commodities are quite hot now, commodity funds are quite a good buy.
I went to the Fitness First gym today and was introduced to the personal trainer who taught me some exercises. Will do them at the gym tomorrow. Planning to go for some of the classes at the Paragon as well. My plan is to go from Fridays-Sundays every week.
Tomorrow's F's birthday party. She has been wonderful in helping me out with the World AIDS Day preparations. She is planning to get people to donate to CARE at the party tomorrow, which I thought was a wonderful idea. (reminder to self: have to pick up brochures from CARE). Good opportunity to network also since most of the people at the party will be from the same industry.
Got my tax statement today. Ironic that it ended with a cheery sentence "Thank you for contributing to nationbuilding". Like it or not, one has to pay.
Love-I realised that I have been holding myself back from fully loving or giving of myself fully in all my relationships with people. Perhaps its a fear of being hurt or disappointed. Maybe I wouldnt know unless I take the plunge.
