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!

And just like that we’re in the last week of January! The year seems to be zipping by and I’m powerless to slow it down…

My parents went back home yesterday evening and I’m feeling a bit sad! I don’t know when I will meet them next, hopefully they come back to Singapore at the end of the year or we make a trip to Mumbai!

This week has been particularly bad – I made bad food choices, which reflected in my weight and blood sugar readings and then I was sounded out for something by our HR which I am not happy about, which in turn made me eat more bad things! Need to seriously work on this for this next week.

At work, part of my responsibilities include doing admin work. My previous boss was good enough to recognise that this is not what I trained for or what I have experience and so made it a very small part of my job – the other 80 to 90% was stuff I wanted to do and was good at. Now the talk at work seems to be since I do not have a boss (my ex-boss was promoted and moved away to another country and his successor is not in place yet), I should be doing the admin work for someone else. They mentioned it was for an interim period, but I have my doubts. I am not qualified, nor trained for this and so I told the HR lady that – it is not fair on the new person who may be expecting someone who can do this job 100% and by someone who has experience in this. Lets see what the outcome is of this.

I have also decided to bring forward my plans for my career. I was going to wait till around August/September to set things in motion, but will bring that forward by half a year. More on that when I set things in motion and things start falling into place.

I had meant to do this post yesterday, but somehow weekends just seem to fly by without anything productive actually happening! I really need to work on this…

This is the last week before my parents return back home on Saturday and I am really not feeling good about that – I wonder when I will be able to meet them next, hopefully the year-end holidays?

The past week was bad in terms of food choices and I’ve added more than a kilo to my weight! Gasp!! No can do, need to work real hard this week and not only lose that gained extra kilo, but any additional one too….

Other than that, life is as we say here – sama-sama (same-same) and nothing really happened.

At work, I seem to have lost my mojo, need to dig deep inside and look for it and wake it up! Otherwise this year will be hard for me…

Have been blogging more than my promised three times a week, so feeling good about that.

My Week 1 update is here for anyone interested in reading it!
