Charity
2nd Febuary 1999

You'd learn something new everyday:
Guys who have sex at least 2 times a week are 50% less likely to die prematurely compared to guys who do it once a month.

Sudden inspirations or cravings:
Finishing my jigsaw puzzle

Just this evening, my family went for this charity bazaar and bought $200+ worth of plants for Chinese New Year. It was kinda fun trying to decided which pot of plant looks most symmetrical and healthy and least likely to die in our ungreen hands.

But the interesting part was actually the short conversation that we had on our way home in the car. My dad commented something about doing charity to bring luck to our future generations. My mom agreed and I almost choked, cos this is the same mother who mocked at me when I last told her that I helped some old folks clean their one-roomed flats.

After some time, then she commented that we should always take care of ourselves first before we even think of helping the others. I guess that was why she mocked--my room was in a mess...hehe..

But anyway the point was I just couldn't agree with her on that. I guess maybe she had been brought up in tough conditions and her first instinct is always to protect herself first.

I wish I could do more charity work. I have always wanted to go donate blood, do some volunteer work etc. But I was too lazy...hehe...I guess that really shows my sincerity huh...=P

I can almost imagine myself being one of those people who will just donate some money regularly just so that I don't have to feel guilty for not volunteering the time or the personal touch

Anyway, I feel kinda guilty. For one, I am not as frank as my mother to admit that self comes before others. But neither am I sincere enough to actually do something instead of just thinking about it.

I am a bad girl...great...

I'm sure it is obvious this is not exactly the most egotistic time of my life...

Tell me what u think.
