Had a hard working but very productive weekend. Tidied up the documents that have been on my dining table for some months and cleaned out my fridge on Sat and Sunday respectively. The fridge took me a few hours to do. The things I dumped took up the whole bin for the entire floor! Oops!

Attended a meeting for bible class teachers last night. Before that, attended the 6pm mass hosted by the Rev. Father recently joined the church. He was good! He's Indian, but his local language was excellent! He's so funny and to the point. Simple message, but big ideas. I like him!

The meeting for the bible class was good too. Very useful for someone like me who needed a bit more training. It's also a good place to exchange ideas. I seated next to Father Lok. A member of my Legion team was there. He came after I did. He asked why did I sat there i.e. next to Father Lok. I said another bible class teacher invited me to sit there, so I did. Then that Legion member didn't say much but for the rest of the meeting, he looked at me strangely, as though I picked that seat deliberately, intending to shine shoes for Father Lok. That idea never came across my mind. Why are they so small and shallow?

Had a meeting with a potential client relating to a family dispute. The meeting went well; I spoke to sf and went over my intended advice, so sure win lah! I think they will confirm instructions to us tomorrow. However, it made me very sad, dealing with family disputes, rows between members of the same family. Sigh.

I joined a Planet Yoga last Thursday. It's a life membership - I paid a fixed amount by monthly instalment (interest free) for 2 years, and some GBP 40 per annum after 100 months i.e. over 8 years! I thought it suits me quite well. You see, I'm not persistent in terms of exercising. So, I won't lose out too much if I use it a while/stop a while ... and so on. Good deal, hur?

bb is back today, but I have Legion and deadline ... !

Well, I got 4 more lai see packets before the 15th of CNY - hee hee

It's Mother's Day today. Went to Sunday Church in the morning and met mum for lunch at noon. She was happy to see the bouquet. Of course, it's from me! hee hee.

I also gave a bouquet to Ms. Chu. She didn't look at it much. She was busy collecting money for donation, doing this and that. Anyway, I noticed that she was a bit agitated. A few others noticed it too.

I told her I might not be there next Sunday. Before I told her the reason, she asked if I would be doing work for Legion of Mary. So smart! I told her I might be needed for the Procession of Mary Mother for Legion of Mary, but am waiting to be told what needs to be done. Then she said I couldn't escape from Father Lok. I don't know whether that was a positive, negative or neutral comment. But as Sister Catherine taught me, I should do what I think it is right. I think helping God through her Church is good and right. Even if Ms. Chu doesn't like it as she prefers us to stay with CC, I can't help it. And you are right, I'm not leaving CC, so sometimes, I'm a bit lost on what exactly is the issue or the problem.

Other members of CC also help their own parish church, but they keep quiet about it, and didn't tell Ms. Chu. If CC's event clashes with their obligations with other church, they just say they would be busy or not available.

I wasn't going to tell her, but she guessed it.

Lunch was good. There was just mum and I. We both enjoyed it. Then we went back to her home. We spent time chatting, and she taught me how to make flowers with ribbon (those you would put on gifts after you have wrapped them). We shared our believe and talked about our pilgrimage this year too. I felt close to her and very much enjoyed the time with her. I hope she feels the same too.

At the end of our lunch, I asked mum if I am any different to before I was baptised. She said yes. She said I'm a lot more energetic now. She said before that, when she called me on Sunday, I'm usually in bed and sometimes, she was afraid to call or she would wake me up. Asking me to join them for dim sum lunch was bad. Either I would say yes, I'll be there in an hour as I needed to wash myself and travel there, or I would ask them not to count on me as they would have to wait for me lah. It was so funny when she said it. Yes, I remembered I said those things myself. Mum said at least now, they get to see me more often and there is better hope for me to join them for dim sum lunch and dinner. I was a bit ashamed of myself, being such a bad daughter.

I'll work on it and improve on it. God help me lah!

For dinner, we stayed at home and she cooked. My brothers and their families joined us too. The food was excellent. Mum is the best cook! The atmostphere was good too.

My sister-in-law said my younger brother and she would be going on pilgrimage this summer too! What co-incidence! They too are going to Israel, although they won't be going to the Vatican. Instead, they would be going to Egypt. That's natural, as they belong to the Church of England; the Vatican doesn't have special meaning to them. Their trip would start on the last few days of ours, so I may not see them much around that time.

It's a wonderful day. My heart is filled with love and joy! Alleluia!

I visited Legion of Mary for the 3rd time this evening. Before that, I sent an email to Father Lok enquiring if that'll be ok. He said I was most welcome. Bless him!

I enjoy those visits. That praesidium was good. Good spirit and enthusiastic. I discussed with Father Lok - because I would be starting a short course for the newly baptised then will be joining Father Lok to pilgrimage, he suggested me to start my 3-month probation as member of the Legion in August after we return from pilgrimage. In the meantime, I could still visit them.

After the meeting, I stayed a little while to chat with the others then went home. They asked me to join them to grab something to eat. I declined as I wanted to go home early as I needed to get up early for Sam's admission. I'm meeting them at 8:45am in Court ! Feeling very honoured and privileged to be asked to do so for her. :)
