Members Wanted

Sienna is going to take all her 3 exams next week. We stayed in to do some review of the work. During the course of the, we were targeted by a couple of promotional efforts. One was an event organized by a local children’s art club. In the leisure areas between the buildings downstairs, they laid out a huge white board where kids of 2-7 year old jumped in and spread the washable paints and three rolls of toilet paper. It was their way to show how our kids can let imagination go wild if they attend their art class.

Later in the afternoon, the whole family went to see a movie screening, a promotion of by a health club affiliated with the compound. They are trying to sell people US$20K life-long club membership. The club will be officially open in 20 days. Yet the floor is still covered with construction materials. Workout equipments are nowhere to be seen. Only smiles are all in place with those sale’s reps.

P.S. I inevitably felt asleep during the movie. I did catch these lines. “Yesterday was the history. Tomorrow is the mystery. Only today is the gift. That’s why it’s called present.” Beautiful! No wonder I value the present so much.
