So heavy & tired

Today i work fr hm. But in the afternoon, went to suntec for a corporate gift/stationary exhibition. My boss asked me to go. So went and collected tonnes of brochures. So heavy and drained. Also feel so bad as i don't hv namecard, need to lie say finish or forget to bring. Didn't know this is more of a trade exhibition.

Thereaft, when to carrefour to buy unagi and miso paste for quick fix dinner. Hmm nice. Oh ya, there are really more & more china pple (esp ladies) wkg in S'pore. Everywhere i go, i will bump into one. Even now carrefour employs China staff. Personally, i don't quite like china pple. Mainly becos their srvc standard really very bad. Or shld i say no service at all. They very "anynow". I bought the unagi and the lady anyhow pack till the sauce spill out. She packed it straight up! Frankly, this is not my 1st encounter. Somehow they are very not gracious, very "chor law" and they hv a very bad attitude. Its their culture. Everyone is like that. Funny.

Oh ya, exhibition halls and carrefour are so far apart. Walk and walk. My legs almost gave way and need to walk to city hall some more ;(

Lastly, this is hopefully the last time i'll wk fr hm. I don't really like wkg fr hm as i dread hvg to carry the super heavy stone age laptop to & fro hm, esp more painful when wearing heels. I prefer to wk in office hee. Moreover, if i finish wk early, i can knock off early. At hm, you sort of wary of wkg hrs. How to shut time laptop when still be4 5.30pm hee ;p

Sleep, sleep & sleep

So fast is end of Tue soon. Today no work. Basically is sleeping most of the time. Esp aft lunch so so tired, dozed off unknowingly. Toby woke me up as he was rather bored with sleeping hee. Comparatively, this week i am adjusting better. Not as tired as last week.

Work at office is rather relaxing so far. Hope it'll continue. Tomorrow will be working fr hm as my boss needs to bring her mil to doc. Good, can spend time with toby. Oh ya, this weekend is going to Bintan for a short break. Just 2 days, 1 night, together with my pil and my bil. Dear dear will go there 1st for team building as he is the organiser and we'll meet him on Sat. Luckily is just a 45mins journey, can't imagine hvg to strike constant conversation w my pil.

Hmm I really wish i can hv time alone with dear dear over there. In s'pore, he is always busy w wk. Sometimes, i do feel that my mil is a bit intruding. She likes to tag along where ever we go or mention. And along with her, will be my fil, bil and sometimes relatives. Deep in my heart, i really struggle with this at times. Am i possessive? I know not but i really afraid to tell them abt any of our travelling plans. Yet we can't.

Finally its fri

Ya really thkful that today is the end of the working week. Am so so tired. Somehow just so drained physically. The headache has always been there but thkfully not severe. Guess my body is still adjusting to wkg hours and still the super cold aircon. Tried to adjust the temperature, but still as cold.

The other thing is adjusting to sleep. Somehow cldn't sleep well for the past few days. The mind is active but the body super exhausted. Every time by 6pm i wld be dead zombie walking ard. Really hope that my body and mind can adjust soon. The work for the past 2 days ain't much but my body is still adjusting, hee staying awake the whole day. So i kind of cannot tanah and took medicine to help me to sleep. Hmm know its no gd but will cut it off once my body adjust to wkg hrs. Meanwhile, i tried to boil red dates & guo qi zhi drink whenever possible to keep my body and do yoga when i hv the stamina. But also need to be moderate as too much of it can be too heaty for my body constitute.

Today basically to very light chores and sleep!!! Really no joke for wkg women, esp wkg mom really dunno how they find the energy. Salute to them! Guess again its me and my not so gd body :(

Overall is a pleasant experience, to be with the crowd and watching them hee ;)

Today no work

Hee now i am at home recuperating ;p Yest was tiring for me. Guess becos of the super cold aircon (17 degrees) as well as using too much of the brain in a go ha ha. Long time never use it already. My boss kept assuring me that yesterday's busyness is out of the blue. It hasn't been like that for 6 mths. Oh no juz my luck or what? And dear dear joked that becos God knows you can handle more. Ya right ;p

I had slight headache yest, guess becos of adjusting to work again. Oh ya, when i started my laptop, suddenly didn't know how to start MS outlook!!! Ha ha luckily later recall one by one. Busy at wk yest, few things to follow up as well as learning some sys to update some things. Still can't figure. Will continue tomorrow.

Oh ya did i mention that i wk part time, that is i only wk on Mon, Wed & Thu hee. And i am surprised to know that i am being paid for phone bills as well got 1.5 days leave and can claim medical. Just shocked to see these benefits given that i am only needed for 1.5mths!

Overall, my prayer is that i am able to adjust back to wk life. Can overcome the astonishmt of wk loads. Guess wk at Singtel really left behind a heavy impact. A great price to pay. Trust that God will bring me thru.

So today i'll cook at hm. Dear dear misses hm cooked fd so am I. Yest we went to compasspt to eat and dear dear bought a payaya for me to eat for vits. And he peeled it!!! Normally i will do but yest he saw me so drained, he offered to be Aminah ha ha but really sweet gesture ;) And we really MISS toby. I tried my best to hurry hm to see my boy and hug him. Daddy also miss toby! But my boy threw tyrant, he pee outside the shower area and bite his bed! Hee but ok for me as all other things are well ;) He just played with his own stuff. Oh no we r crazy parents.

Then & Now

Hee when your hubby is watching the ball rolling, what shld the other partner do?? Hmm...

Time really flies and when age catches up, face starts to show the journey one had been thru. Below are the faces of me then and now. So sad to see how i aged but guess its part of growing up. As one gains wisdom, one loses youth. Wow i am wiser now...ha ha am i ;p

That's the gd thing of hvg camera ph hee. Why don't they introduce it earlier leh? Hee also not too late la. Smthg to show my kids in future ha ha.

Pre Work Preparation

Oh no tomorrow start wk!!! Just reached hm aft hvg dinner at my in law's place. Today ah-ma is here for dinner too. Just finish packing my bag and knowing what to wear tomorrow. Oh no office clothes again, something i dread to wear. Ha ha can ask my boss whether i can wear casual since i am a temp hee. Tomorrow start wk at 9am as no office key but subsequently 8.30am. Oh no dunno if can wake up so early and not become a zombie during middle of the day.

Now, normally i wake up at 7.15am to prepare breakfast for dear dear. With wk, i need to wake up even earlier, say 6.45am so that i can leave hm at 7.30am. Oh no!!! But most imptly, cross my fingers that i can adjust well to wk life and also dun hv loads of wk to do hee ;)

Oh ya, morning while on the way to AMK hub, took pics in the car.

The silly man didn't know he is supposed to look at the lens but look at the mirror instead. So he is looking side way.

When i took again, he tried to be funny and look the other way!!

Finally, got a correct shot!

Hmm Starting Wk

Ya i am starting wk nxt Mon. Wow so fast. My ex-boss called to say her staff went on maternity. Hmm a bit jittery :( as hv been 1 yr since i last work and i know i can't handle stress as i used to. But as dear dear said i need to overcome the fear so praying hard. Yet again, i don't need to wk everyday just 3 days a week. So its a gd start. Ok will update this when things start rolling. Fingers cross.

Now while i am updating blog dear dear is watching his soccer ;( He said its the start of English premier league. Whatever, don't bother me or attract me hee. Before this we'll at town, window shopping and hvg dinner at food republic. The hokkien mee no longer tastes nice. So sad, when more pple eat, standard just seems to drop. This time rd we went to ck tang and isetan. Hvn't been to ck tang for quite awhile but overall still the same. Not much change, except if i am right, the food section in b1 is stand alone now not connected to the bedding/kitchenware section as it used to be. Hmm hope i am right??

Oh ya, didn't go to Ruth's baby bash as dear dear finds it strange to attend as we were not invited for the 1st kid and we ain't close to Nigel & christina. So as head of hsehold, he'll make the call, i follow.

So we just doll ourselves in late afternoon and went to town to explore the less visited areas of town hee.
