This was also another hectic week. Not because I was busy with work, but because it was the September school holidays and I got to spend some real quality time with GG since BB was away at his OBS adventure camp.

We went to see a professor of history at one of the local universities, who is a friend of my cousin. She introduced us because GG is a huge history buff and this professor specialises in a particular section of history which BB & GG are doing in school this year. We had a good time there talking about history (something I am also interested in) so much so, we got late leaving from there. We had planned to have lunch before GG went to school, but we had to cancel that plan and just grab a sandwich. GG literally ran to school from the station but managed to make it on time!

We also managed to catch a show of Crazy Rich Asians (movie review coming up soon) and spent a day together doing stuff that GG wanted to do. I’ve realised my daughter like me, is not much of a shopping person. She also likes to buy what she needs and not waste time window shopping, just like me!

The children head back to school today and I am expecting a quiet week. This weekend marks their 15th birthday and we’re hoping to have a small get-together with their friends at home.

Have a wonderful week folks!

We’re in the last week of August and I am now settling in the new freelance project I have taken up. I am only doing one client now and will wait till the end of the year to learn the ropes before I start looking for new clients. I will also use this time to see if I do manage to secure a better paying position.

Other than that, we had a mid-week holiday on the occasion of Hari Raya Haji (or Eid Al-Adha as it’s also called). Mid-week public holidays are great for a reset and when Thursday rolled on, we all thought it was Monday all over again!

This week proves to be quite a busy one for me what with some duties relating to my freelance work and then also a school commitment in BB’s school for the upcoming Teachers Day, I will probably have more to update next week.

Till then, have a fantastic week…

Another week has gone by and this week which was short because of the National Day holiday was slightly significant for me.

I have registered a company under my name last week and have made a decision to start freelancing. I will be working from home and will probably work a couple of hours a day. I am planning to do this till the end of next year when the children finish school and if this gig takes off, then I’ll do this on a full-time basis, otherwise, I’ll look for a fulltime position to start working in early 2020. Please wish me luck in my new venture!

This week I am hosting a cousin I have not interacted with much over the years. She is older than me and is coming to Singapore for some lectures at our local universities. It will be nice to have some one-on-one time with her when she has free time from her lectures. I am also hoping to attend at least one of the lectures, though the subject is not something I am very knowledgeable about.

This week is looking to be an interesting one, so more deets next week when I update here.
