A perfect day 完美的一天

It's my off day again. A busy day indeed, I have done quite a number of things today:

- sent Han Jin to school in the morning;
- placed orders for two stocks and got filled. The market is sort of crashed lately, partially due to the mid-east unrest, New Zeland earthquake, and the Budget announced last Sat which reduced personal income tax rate (Hurray!) but raised CFP employer contribution rate and foreign worker levies, giving construction and service sector an increased cost. In this bear market, I took the risk and bought in some stocks. Hopefully, there is associated rewards;
- brought Mei Mei to Gymboree for a trial class of music. She does not like it as much as KinderMusic. I'd think the teacher is not as good as teacher Fuzzy at KinderMusic in terms of engaging kids. So, we did not sign up the membership. Instead, we registered a trial class in KinderMusic and went to Julia Grabiel to enquire the bilingual playclub that Han Jin used to be in. It surprised me that we have to wait for about a year for the time slot of choice. So, in the end, I got another not so ideal time slot for trial on coming Sat.
- went to 3 banks to consolidate my financial position;
- highlight of the day!! I bought a Canon PowerShot S95, recommended by Rachel! Enquired the model that Hu Ping recommended (Sony Nex 5), it costs over 1K and have to change lens according to weather... Gave it a pass as it is a bit over my budget and a lot over my photo-taking skills;
- had a nap with my SKII facial on;
- monitored the market and happy to see both stocks gained marginally, in a down trending market;
- had a one hour conference call with Pune, and happy that one of my projects is making progress;
- fetched Han Jin home and the usual end of day chaos starts....

Here are some photos by Power S95!

今天又休假，我可爱的星期三！做了很多东西，有这样一天不用工作真好！

清晨送瀚今去上学，再三叮嘱老师要先把他和几个非常好动的小朋友分开。回来紧接着送妹妹去Gymboree的音乐试读课，她不是很喜欢，可能地板太硬，老师有点刻板。于是又去了KinderMusic，解释我们近两个月没有去的原因，下周去试听一下。又去了JuliaGabriel学前发展中心，我想要的时间居然要等近一年，最后只好先在另外一个时段试听一下。瀚今之前很喜欢JuliaGabriel的双语游戏课程，希望妹妹也会喜欢。有点担心小家伙的华语呀！

回到家已经到了中午，吃完饭，去DrLow的诊所拿去皮肤专科的介绍信，去了三家银行。重点介绍：买了向往好几天的照相机 Canon PowerShot S95. 对效果挺满意的，清晰很多，不用闪光灯也比较清晰，虽然还达不到理想中有明显景深的效果，可是便携式的只能这样了。

回到家已经要三点了，匆匆看了看股市动态。最近市场有点熊，中东不稳定，新西兰地震，刚宣布的国家年度计划又出台一些利于个人，不利公司的措施。迎风进了点货，有些怕怕。喝了早上泡的凉茶，敷上面膜，小小美容觉：）

醒来和妹妹玩一下子。参加了一个项目的会议电话，有进展：）一个小时后，再去接瀚今，接着一天例行的忙碌的晚上。孩子睡了，和老公分享了一下新照相机和对市场的看法，再分析了一下股市，觉得还可以再冒点风险。。但是怕现金流通有问题。。

觉得今天过得很充实！我要的所有的快乐因素都有了：和孩子比较充裕的时间相处；和老公有沟通的时间；做一点点工作还有满意的进展；花点钱；投点资；小小宠一下自己；看看Facebook，blogspot, 和QQ上的朋友。只是还应该给妈妈打个电话。这就是完美的一天了！

为大家带来Canon Powershot 的照片！好像放上blog, 跟卡片机的效果差别不是太大。。。5555。。。
