2016 Week 26 Update

Another boring week this turned out to be….

I don’t even know why I bother updating weekly when my days segue into each other.

On the job front, I’ve been applying as usual, but nothing has come up yet. Well, not really, because for the first time, I got called by a consultant who called me for a chat for a job she had advertised and I had responded to. I do not have much hopes for that position as one of the key experiences the company needs, I don’t have. But I went thinking maybe they may have other opportunities available. So let’s see….

I also lost my atm card this week! We were going to watch Finding Dory and the train was supposed to come in 2 minutes. I also had to top up mine and BB’s fare cards and all this in the 2 minutes before the train arrives. After the top-ups, either I left the card in the machine or dropped it somewhere in the platform. I only realised it after the movie was over and I wanted to buy something from a store in the mall! Luckily I had some cash with me for the purchase. I quickly cancelled the card and over the weekend, went and got a new one done….

Happy Monday people and I hope this week is a great one for you all. As for me, please pray that the consultant comes back with some positive news for me…

2016 Week 25 Update

It’s been more than six weeks since I’ve been a SAHM and none of the positions I’ve applied to have bitten! I’m getting slightly scared now, especially when my bank balance is showing signs of stress!!

Hopefully something comes up sooner than later and I can start working again. I am starting to feel like a sloth, though I am having a good time at home, reading a lot and watching loads of Youtube videos!

S has also been sick over the weekend, though he was actually sick a good part of the week. But like the macho man he is, he completely denied that he was sick and it was only when he could not take it any longer, he went and saw a doctor. So most of the weekend, he spent in bed, coughing away. He’s not as bad as some men are portrayed, but he is definitely worse than a woman when it comes to  being sick…..I think men tend to over-magnify their sickness while women, who already do multiple shifts (work, home, etc), take a sickness as one of those things which need to endured and just carry on…

Any men reading this please take my words with a huge pinch of salt 🙂

Have great week folks with no Monday blues….

2016 Week 24 Weekly Update

A boring kind of a weekand a very hectic weekend was what this week was all about. 

We got back from Yogya on Monday and somehow the rest of the week just sped by without me not accomplishing anything and being super unproductive. 

On Saturday since S was at home, I decided to get some errands out of the way, which included buying BB his Hindi School uniform, which he had outgrown and also doing some other shopping which had been pending for a while now. BB now wears size 42 which is the size that S, a fully grown adult wears. His show size is larger than S’ also. He still had a few more years of growing up to do and I suspect he will be quite tall. As he stands now, he is a tad taller than me and slightly shorter than S. 

I also made a booboo this weekend. For some reason I thought Fathers Day was yesterday (June 12) and we planned to have a dinner at a nice place then. I also got S a car camera that he had been eyeing for a while as a Fathers Day present from the kids. Then just before we left for the dinner, I realised that Fathers Day is actually next Sunday!! Anyway since we had made reservations, we went for the dinner and had an early celebration….

I am posting this almost 10 hours behind schedule!

We’re back in Singapore now, though still so very tired. Yogya was great, loads to see and do, especially if you are a history and culture buff like me. I’ll do more detailed posts later in the week once I sort out the photos and get my post ideas sorted out.

The beginning of the week saw both BB & GG in school so I was pretty much alone planning for the trip, which, I felt had the most slipshod planning I have done…

I am also having some health issues, which I don’t want to share here, suffice to say they are of the female variety, but since this weekly post is a sort of a diary for me, I want to put this down for posterity’s sake…

Have a great week folks!!

2016 Week 22 Update

This week I officially complete one month of being a SAHM and jobless! In the last week or so, I did not even apply for jobs. I have started to get depressed about this, sometimes thinking that I will not get another job ever. I need to get out of this funk soon. Need to get my act together as soon as I am back from my holiday later this week.

We’re going to Yogyakarta, Indonesia for a 4 day trip later in the week. Yogya or Jogya as it is fondly called by the locals has two UNESCO world heritage sites close by – Borobudur and the Prambanan temple complex and I am eager to explore them and take load of photos!

We also went for Baby’s one month party yesterday and had a blast playing with him. My sister-in-law emulated the local chinese custom where they celebrate a baby’s full moon (1 month) and get everyone to see the baby at the same time!

Gotta prepare for our holidays and source for places to eat and shop! I’ll spam pictures of the place soon and also do a few posts on what all we did so anyone who is interested in this place will have some points to start with….

Have a great week folks!
