A very, very busy week for me as we were all busy working on a annual conference which starts on Tuesday. I have loads of vents on how stuff has been changed at the very last minute, but I am not going to do that – nothing will come in the way of my new zen attitude!

What I am planning to do is meet my ex-boss later today (he is here this week for the conference, albeit as a delegate this time) and probably speak a bit freely about my future in the organization – he did tell me before he left to consider him as a mentor! This will allow me to crystallize my thoughts on what I should do moving forward…

Found this great website on Facebook – Chisel. You can use the photos there or upload our own photos and create great quotes. This one is the result of something I just did. Have you used this before?

Diet and exercise was as usual off and will be this week too…Food in conferences in Asia are so much tasitier, plus some dinners….Need to get on track very soon….

I’ve been collecting nice saying online and this is one of them.

This was a short week for us too, with me going to work only on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was a half day and I worked from home. Thursday to Sunday was the Chinese New Year break where I caught up on sleep. Since Singapore pretty much shuts down during this period, we didn’t go out and just relaxed at home, cooking, reading and watching TV.

This meant diet and exercise went for a toss, need to come back to the right frame of mind this week 😦

This week will be a super busy week at work – our annual regional conference is next week and this year prep work has been left to the last minute. So need to chop-chop get all the loose threads in place soon and make sure the conference is up to the standards the participants are used to. I also plan to have a heart-to-heart talk with my ex-manager during this week, he did ask me to see him as a mentor before he left, and that is exactly what I plan to do. I really want to get an outsider’s view of my career here and decide next steps soon.

Busy week, both at home and at work. Exercise was not very consistent as most mornings I had to play referee, when BB & GG wanted to wake up early to study and then decided, they didn’t want to wake up after all. So I then become the ‘evil mum’ who does not let them sleep!!

So true right?? And that is exactly what this year is going to be all about!!

I am so looking forward to this week. I will be at work only two days – will work from home on Wednesday as it’s a half day at work due to Chinese New Year. Then a long, long weekend for CNY celebrations! Should have time to work on this blog this week then….

Saw this image on Facebook and this kind of encapsulates what I feel right now!

This week was a bad one in terms of my medication – I think I missed one dose as many as three times during the week. I really don’t know how that happened, as usually I am quite diligent about making sure I take my medicine dose on time. Is this my body’s way of telling me that I don’t need so many doses in a day? Well we’ll know the next time I go to the doctor and she takes my blood to be tested.

Work-wise has been a very busy week, but I have kind of internalized my  future plans in this company. I will wait till the second week of March to start my prep work to ensure that by the time we reach the end of the PSLE madness and the new year, I will be in a much better position career-wise, I am determined to do that for myself this year….

Hello there February, why did you come in so early….You could have taken your time…But seriously, is it just me or does anyone else feel that January just went galloping by!

A mixed week in terms of food choices – I made some good and some not-so-good choices while eating. So weight has also been stagnant, no increase, but no reduction either!

Work, like I mentioned last week, the thing that HR sounded me about, came true and the only small consolation is that it has been made clear that it’s an interim solution. So I decided that “If life gives you lemons, let’s make lemonade!” I decided that if I am to work with this person, then I will learn something new from him/her and also showcase what I know about this person’s area of expertise before it ends. So let’s see how this all pans out…

Other than that, life goes on…I really feel I have a really boring life – no excitement, no fun…But then this year is all about GG & BB, once their life post-primary school has been settled to the best of our ability, I’ll feel so much more relieved!

Okie, here’s a funny work video to brighten up your Monday!
