In the last 10 ten years, I saw my only son graduated from Primary school to secondary school and now in Polytechnic for a 3 years diploma course.
I was retrenched after working for 18 years in a local bank but managed to continue working a few more jobs before I retired from the commercial sector.
I explored opportunities in the Internet world and made some small money so the business model is proven and I will continue pursuing it in the coming years.
I am happy that I managed to work as a Lecturer in Temasek Polytechnic as it was my ambition to teach and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am also glad that I fulfilled my parents wishes or requests. I took my father to visit China and I organised a one big family reunion with my immediate relatives in Penang; commissioned a photographer to take lots of family photos during the gathering in the hotel.
My dear wife also retired recently and has found an exciting life outside work with her new found girlfriends and her hobbies like gardening and calligraphy writing.
We are happy and we also managed to survive without having a maid for a year already.
Jean returned to Philippines after working for us for 12 years and I must give her some credit for helping us bring up Jason too especially during the early childhood days.
Jack, our Beagle, is still going strong and is going to be 13 this year.
Well, I think I could not ask for more other than good health and safety for the family in the coming years.
Wishing All of You A Very Happy New Year in 2011......!
David
