Retreat 2008

This year, we have booked a room at a small motel off West Coast Road to do our retreat.

I must say that there ought to be a review either quarterly or half-yearly so that there will be ample time to adjust our actions towards the goals we've set, however, I often am not serious enough to follow up.

Well, it is high time we have a retreat this year cos we skipped it last year.
There are loads of changes ahead and I really embrace and look forward to them.

For this year end, Suhaimi is finally getting married. Brendan will travel to KL for his wedding banquet and I will give it a miss. Mainly because it is on the eve of the Lunar New Year and I want to be in Singapore on Chinese New Year day. I am still somewhat rather traditional, visiting my Grandpa & the temple is a ritual I will not miss. As I age, I grow to appreciate visiting my relatives' homes with whatever chances I get. So yes, I love the Lunar New Year!

Oh, finally too, Jon is getting married. 30th Dec. Some of us just make that move much later than others. Well, he said he still believes in the institution of marriage and asked what I think of him. I said of course, I am glad he still believes.

We could only love our children, parents, our siblings more than anybody else, so when we meet a stranger-turned-lover, it's when the love extends to become family love. By all means, pursue it.
