2019 Week 15 Update

This week was a mixture of being super productive on some days and then days of being a sloth!

The highlight of my week was attending a career fair for women who have been out of the workforce. My intent on going for this career fair was to see if I can make some connections with sympathetic companies so that I can try to see if I can see myself there.

I also made time for some self care this week and it felt so good to do something for myself. I am seriously thinking of doing this on a regular basis, I do owe that to myself.

I have a busy week this week with some family commitments due. I am also planning on doing some serious work with regard to my career, the fair last week has energised me, I think!

Have a wonderful and productive week!

2019 Week 14 Update

This week was the kind of week I like, one where I managed to tick off my to do list and have time for myself too in the process.

I had a cousin’s husband over for dinner one night over the weekend. He was in Singapore for a work trip and this weekend was the only day all schedules synced up. Actually I was meeting him for the first time in almost five years, the second time after he married my cousin.

It was a fun evening, where we chatted and got to know each other well. I just wish my family lived closer so we can meet more often, rather than just every few years!

This week will also be an interesting one, but why I will tell you next week. I am also planning to spend more time with myself on some self-care, so I am excited about this.

Have a wonderful week folks!

2019 Week 13 Weekly Update

This was another meh week for me. For the past few weeks I have been slightly despondent and unproductive with many of my to-do lists being pushed to the next week for the third week running.

It’s the end of the first quarter of 2019 and spring is in the air in many countries.

I have mixed feelings about this year. On one hand I want the year to end, so I can finally go on a holiday and then I think that the end of the year means the O level exams and then I think again.

Have a wonderful and productive April. It’s April Fools Day today, have you made a fool of anyone yet?

Ending this post with a quote attributed to Mark Twain:

“April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four.”

2019 Week 12 Update

This was the term break week so nothing much happened.

I didn’t have any work commitments this week so pretty much spent all my time at home.

We were planning a trip to Johor Bahru this week and because of GG’s school commitments, we could not find anytime to go together as a family. So S and I decided to go in just to do some grocery and other shopping. We left home around 9 am and except for a bit of a jam at the customs in the Singapore side, the trip across the causeway was quite smooth. We hit a bottleneck at the Malaysian customs. We were unfortunate to be in the one lane which only had one customs Bay with an officer who was super slow! We spent almost an hour in that lane getting frustrated with other vehicles just zipping past us on either side.

The return trip was uneventful as we had decided to leave from JB around 3 pm. We cleared Malaysian customs easily and drove across the causeway with a bit of a wait on the Singapore side.

It was a good trip and we managed to purchase all that we had on our list plus more!

This week will be a slightly more hectic week because I actually put some of my items which I had to do last week to this week. Wish me a productive time!

Have a wonderful and productive week!

2019 Week 11 Update

Every week these days, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to write this blog post.

It’s a very fine line I am treading between revealing too much and sharing with you all on what is happening with my life.

This week was the usual meh week! I had a couple of events to go to while wearing my freelance hat and those were pretty interesting. This month has a couple more on the cards so this month should be fairly interesting.

After the emotional talk with BB earlier this week, he seems to have turned a corner, but it’s still early days now. I do keep on giving him pep talks so he is not tempted to waste time on his phone and laptop.

GG has been falling sick quite often these days, it’s almost once a month and I am now getting worried about her. I do know it’s the stress of school work plus the competiton they are preparing for which will happen next month that is causing all this sickness.

That’s all from me for this week. Have a wonderful and productive week folks!
