Since I started writing the blog, most year ends I struggle a bit to pen down some meaningful and memorable words about the year gone by and the year to come.
2016 HAD been a year about relationships. Something major happened but it is a very private affair that I won't share in this blog. It went unnoticed to most people around me, but my closest friends were there for me. Through this episode, I learn the meaning of love, the meaning of self respect and love, and the meaning of growing older, wiser and nicer. I am not ready to put down the burden of what had happened, but I am very willing and eager to use this experience to improve relationships going forward.
Still on relationship, back in Nov I had a rare outing with Mum and Sis to Marriot Hotel high-tea buffet on a weekday. That day I spent the whole morning running errant with Mum at banks and the CPF building. Mum is the old fashion type whom I can't discuss topics such as financial planning (eg Will) with; thus it was a good opportunity that I grabbed, to put some controls in place when she initiated to open a joint account. I know it is wistful thinking, that Mum will one day appreciate what she is blessed with and not keep dwelling on unfulfilled wishes. Oh well, I will continue to do what is within my capability and not dwell on the unbridgeable.
IN 2017, I want to muster all my courage to carry out my wish. I had postponed this for a year now, and I hope I won't postpone it again. So next year may be yet another turning point for me. I feel that I have come to point in my life where there is no strong push to complete anything major. If I have 84 years to live, I have completed half of it. It is time to restart again.
