Another exhausting week with travel from Tuesday to Friday. For the first time in this organisation, I was sent for a training programme. I was debating internally whether I should do or not and in retrospect, I am glad I did it. My reason for not doing was my feeling of inadequacy that I didn’t have the experience the others would have and the internal feeling of being branded as an imposter. But I held my own against the others and even contributed a fair amount to the group. The group I was made up of senior people with an average of 10-15 years experience while I have a grand total 2.5 years of experience in this field!

Anyway, it’s back to office after being away for a while. This week is also an unexpected short week as Friday has been declared a public holiday because of elections in Singapore! Next week is the Listening Comprehension for BB & GG!

Have a great week folks!

This was such a tiring week that I spent the weekend sleeping – catching up on sleep and probably storing sleep for the next week, which also shows promise to be equally tiring!

Last Monday, I went to Delhi for a work trip, the flight there is worthy of a post all by itself. I’ve seen examples of rude Indians, but the people on that flight took it to a new level. When we entered the gate to the flight, we were welcomed by a big group fighting and this fighting was carried into the flight. Luckily I was able to watch a couple of movies I had not seen, so this didn’t bother me too much!

The rest of the week was hectic to say the least. I don’t sleep too well out of my home, so I think I survived on around an average of 3 hours of sleep daily. This was compounded by BB & GG calling me around 3:30 – 4 am local time daily so that I could talk to them before they left for school. Hopefully the trip next week will not be so bad as it is in the same time zone as Singapore!

I didn’t see anything of the city, except on the way back to the airport, but I’ll post some pictures later this week….

Have a great week folks!

Another short work week for me as I worked from home the last two days of the work week. BB & GG started their PSLE exams with the English and Mother Tongue Orals and I stayed at home to give them moral support.

This week is my work trip, for which I leave later today. I am a bit apprehensive as this week is their Prelims. S will be taking half day through the week to sit with them and work on their subjects. Got two back to back ones, but I’ll be around for the last paper for the Prelims. Then I guess there’ll be a Parent Teacher Session before the school breaks for the September holidays.

Nothing much happened last week….Gosh I lead such a boring life….Hopefully this week will give me more fodder to write next week 🙂

A short work week, but was quite hectic, with all the prep for my work trip next week..

I met two ex-colleagues last week and we spent a lot of time gossiping about people we know. I had planned to be there for just an hour, but it stretched to more than 2 hours. We had so much fun, that we are planning another meet soon, after the PSLE exams though…

I’ve had this dream twice now – both times it shows BB in the dream school I have written about before. I really don’t know what this means – perhaps it’s my subconscious telling me to let go of that dream!

According to astrology, a golden period in my life which comes once in twelve years is starting soon. My wish is that, if this is a golden period, then hopefully the universe will send me a warm glow where my children do well in their exams and my job situation also improves…

A very short work week which meant I had a lot of time with the kids. We had Friday till Monday off and other than a run on Friday morning to stock up on groceries at Little India, I did not leave the house at all!

But with tuitions scheduled everyday early in the morning, it did mean I didn’t get to sleep in, but that was compensated by afternoon naps – such an indulgence these days…

Also did a lot of television watching as all the channels in both Starhub and Singtel were free for the Jubilee Weekend.

Oh, I have put this down – since a lot of attractions were free during the weekend, the crowds were to be seen to believed. On Friday, someone I knew decided to visit the Arts Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands since it was free (as a perspective, it costs between $30-$40 per person otherwise), she reached there around 10:30 – 11 am and the waiting time to enter the museum was 5 hours!! Then yesterday, the folks who run the cable car into Sentosa decided to have the run between Vivo City and Sentosa free and I read on Facebook that around 4 pm, the waiting time to get into the cable car was 10 hours!!! This is so unbelievable…..I am so glad we stayed at home and chilled..

Meeting a friend later today after work. She was an ex-colleague turned friend, so am anticipating a good gossip session….
