Celebrating New Year’s Eve with a Bash

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Syndacast. All opinions are 100% mine.

We are coming to the end of 2009 . How are you going to celebrate New Year’s Eve and welcome 2010?

It would certainly be nice to celebrate the coming of the new year with a party with friends and really let your hair down. It has been ages since I really had such a chance to enjoy myself. When I was much younger I remember the fun we had partying through the night. Enjoying the music, drinks and company while counting down to the new year.

One can really feel the spirit of the festive season while engaging in the countdown as everyone around the world counts down from then 10 to 1 and fireworks are being set off near the Singapore river.

Weekend Reflections- Almost a year in retrospect

Welcome to Weekend Reflections a regular feature here on Dominique’s Desk. Join us this week for Weekend Reflections. I would really like to hear your view on this weekend’s topic. Do add your link to our Linky and leave me a comment for extra linky love. You can grab out button from the sidebar.

The year 2009 is drawing to a close and I’m starting to get lyrical as I reflect back on all the ups and down of the year.
There has been quite a lot of changes in the home front. Some for the better while others still need quite a bit of improvement on. I have embarked on many new projects and do have projects on the to-do-list for 2010.

I started out the year focusing on my online ventures. They took a backseat when I returned to work full time. With the current bad economy it has been quite difficult for start up ventures to really kick-off.

As the year progressed I had my goals re-aligned as I realised that it is really not worth it to invest so much time on my online business. Even though a lot of time and effort is needed for a start up but more time is needed to properly groom a child and building up a family.

Having personally seen and experience disfunctional families and the lifelong effects it has on the children, I seriously didn’t want that to happen to my own family.

You only have so many hours a day that you can spend with the family and it would be selfish of me to spend so many hours on personal interests at the expense of the family and kids.

Even though earning money is important to sustain a family it shouldn’t be the main focus. Many parents are often too occupied in chasing the ever exclusive $$ that they neglect the fact that it is essential to spend quality and quantity time to nuture a child.

If you are blessed , your child would turn out “right” with the minimal intervention. However, if your child ends up being on the extreme end of the scale and gets into trouble with the law it would be too late to regret not taking an active part in his life.

Like a long-term financial investment , one does not know if the effort that you are currently putting in now will reap any fruit. However if you DO NOT put in your investment now you will forever have the window of opportunity to nuture your child into a well mannered and functional adult.
