It has been long long long ago since I could sit down and just relax for a weekend. Oh well, actually not 100% true as I spent my whole Saturday polishing my own custom designed & made rack then oiling (not painting) it; and started to store stuff on it and set up my workplace in my study room the whole day Sunday. These can be considered as my interests but should have been done a month ago since we moved into this new apartment but I just could not spare time doing them. Anyway, at least I stayed home and had time with my family, with a remark that I almost blasted my kitchen with extreme hot wok curry which smell can be caught by anyone in or even around the apartment.
It is a total different feeling that I could imagine. Having rush and leap forward nonstop towards goals and setting more goals were what I did and had to do in 2009. Early last year I started my own family but when I look back, I truly do not spend much time with them because I am always busy and heading out most of the time. And now I have a schedule of taking acupuncture in Shenzhen every Monady, Wednesday and Friday, and to work OT with other staff till 9:30 pm on Thursday. When I get back home from work or hospital I am half ready for bed. Not to mention to check and reply emails whenever available at home. Complaint from Shirley this morning that I spent more time with my notebook instead with Reina and her alerted me that I am husband and dad and no more IME once I step in home... It gives me a sense of relief to observe or sense that actually it can be that peaceful and relaxing and enjoying at home. I wish I can just spend every of my weekends like this.
Good thing seldom happens twice. Next week I will have my introductory module and have to stay in HK for the whole weekend for Team Building Exercise (TBE); following Friday I will need to attend the BME of HKIE regular meeting. Then Chinese New Year is approaching that means preparation in work and home, and time will lift off and fast forward till my workshops then overseas trip... To me, these are just things that I have to prioritize, plan, execute and check. Same for both family's and career's so they would just mean time and project management (financial management is also involved, SAD!) to me.
It is just so good to stay at home free of headaches and plan. I am greedy and I wish I can have some slack weekend like this throughout 2010 and after.
