2015 Week 14 Update

This week just zipped by, and before I knew it, the weekend was here!

Job front, things are the same, though it was a busy week at work which helped zip the week away!

I had a sty in my right eye, which was painful and which made me visit the doctor on Thursday. But as soon as I had good sleep over the weekend, it started disappearing, making me wonder if this was because of lack of sleep.

You people must have guessed by now, I lead a very boring life. I am an introvert and proud to be one.

A colleague mentioned I never did anything for myself – go out for dinners, party etc. and only live for my children. At that point, I just smiled and left the place, but it got me thinking. Yes, my children are the core in my life, but I do things for myself – it’s just that the definition of what I like to do and what others like to do may be different. To me, a good book and better conversation ranks much above a party where you make small talk and then forget it 10 minutes later. Writing and thinking of posts and working on it gives me more satisfaction then pubbing! That’s the difference between me and others I guess….

This sums me up perfectly 🙂

2015 Week 13 Update

I realise one thing – most of my weekly updates are mostly about work. I do have a life beyond that, you know, in case anyone is interested.

I am, as a person, who overthinks things and then stresses over it A LOT! I keep thinking of situations that could occur and then think of ways in which I will work through them, all in my head…

This week was a short one, with the week zipping by, with the exception of Thursday, which I think was because of the anticipation of the long weekend!

My helper has decided to unfurl her wings and on Saturday afternoon, went with some friends to a temple of her faith in JB (Malaysia). She stayed over at her friend’s place since they came back quite late and then went from there for her Sunday off.

Naah, it’s not this bad. I actually like most of the stuff I do, even love it. But there are other things I dislike, perhaps even close to hate! My Monday morning face is nowhere like this guys!

Have a great week

2015 Week 12 Updates

This week has been dominated by the passing away of Mr. Lee Kwan Yew. Feeds in Facebook plus the other media spoke about the love that people has for this man, who single-handedly was responsible for making Singapore what it is today. I too penned a few words on this blog. People were queuing over 8-10 hours just for that one minute where they could pay their last respects to Mr. Lee.

Other than that, a very uneventful week, one where a lot of us did some soul-searching. I too did and have come to some decisions, one of which was the rewriting of my resume. It is going on as we speak and once that is done, I will start, if not searching for new opportunities, but atleast have the chance to do that when a good opportunity comes my way.

2015 Week 11 Updates

A very uneventful week for us. The children has their school holidays about which I mentioned yesterday. 

Work has been pretty much in a suspended state for me now. My new boss comes in in the end of April and that’s when I plan to speak to him about my future here. But, I did start one thing though – I contacted a resume writing company and have started working with them to get my resume properly done. Even if I stay on here, I am sure they will want to see a copy of my resume. So it better to have a nice, polished copy 😊

Woke up today to learn that another of Singapore’s founding fathers (random thought – why are there hardly any founding mothers?) and Singapore’s first Prime Minister, Mr. Lee Kwan Yew passed away early this morning. He had been in hospital for more than a month now and in the last week had been deteriorating almost daily. 

 RIP Mr. Lee. 

You were perhaps the single person who was the architect of Singapore’s sucess and in my opinion the person responsible for making Singapore what it is today – a first world country! You will be sorely missed, especially since Singapore celebrates its 50th year of Independence this year.#RIPLKY

We actually share something with LKY – BB & GG were born on his 80th birthday and I remember the nurses in the hospital asking me if I had planned this! I always tell BB & GG that even if they achieve in their lives, a tenth of what Mr. Lee did, they would still have done so much and be so much successful…

2015 Week 10 Updates



It was an eventful week for us, the biggest thing that happened was the fact that the my laptop at home crashed for no discernible reason. This happened while BB was having an online lesson. The worst part was the photos in the laptop, which I had not gotten around to transferring to an external drive. 

I googled and found data recovery centres and now my laptop is with them. I am really hoping that the photos get recovered. Lesson learnt is that now I am exploring cloud storage. My research shows Dropbox and Google Drive to be the best.
I will come back with my final choice. But if anyone has any suggestions or choices, please do drop a note.
