As I’ve mentioned before, now that I am working, life has become quite monotonous. I have not had time to do much, the weekends are taken up with completing chores around the house or just catching up on sleep.

August is almost at an end and it’s just over a month to my parents coming to spend time with us in Singapore! I am really looking forward to spending almost three months with them. Not that there will be much spending time together, what with me being out of the house for more than 12 hours, but it’s a lot better than being apart by nearly 7,000 kilometres and an ocean between us!

Work-wise, while I am not very happy here, I have made my peace. There are some people who (I believe) share my wavelength and I look forward to getting to know them better. The others, especially some whom I have to work with closely, are not worth knowing outside the office and I doubt we will become even friends; the best we can hope to be is to be colleagues.

This is shortened work week for us here in Singapore due to Friday being the Hari Raya Haji or Bakri-Eid holiday. So I for one, am looking to a nice long weekend before the next few hard weeks at work due to a big project coming to fruition.

Have a blessed week folks!

Life is going on as usual. I really don’t have a life anymore as it’s now Wakeup – Work – Come Home – Sleep routine.

In fact, I am quite behind in my reading these days. My 2017 Reading Challenge has been stalled since I started working and I need to start reading more if I want to complete it and on time. So I have been thinking of eliminating screen time at night and reading for an hour at least before bed. Will this work, well I will update it next week.

Work-wise, things are as they were, no real improvements there. But I am still optimistic that things will change and for the better.

It’s the start of a fresh new week and I hope this one is better than the previous one for everyone! Have a blessed week folks!

This felt like a short week, one that started and then restarted again. This was because of the mid-week National Day holiday. I am always reminded about a friend who loved these mid-week holidays as she felt it rejuvenated her.

BB had his first Avani Avittam early in the week and the day after was the recitation of the Gayathri Mantra. He went late to school on the first day and missed school the next.

Work is ok, but I don't want to write a lot about the negativity surrounding work, so I guess work will not feature much in my updates.

It's a Monday so have a wonderful week.

This week was not so hectic as the previous week though I was kept busy throughout.

If you remember, sometime back, I had posted how a colleague was giving me grief and bullying me at work. In fact, I was really tempted to resign just to get away, but on Friday, i learnt that this person, in fact, had resigned! I was quite happy internally that my bully was getting away from me. That was why perhaps, the bully was quite chirpy and happy at work recently. It also means that in the last six odd months, the entire team of where I am (the department, not the organisation) has turned over. If I were management, I would definitely think about why there was such a high turnover.

I am also seriously thinking of redoing my life, especially when I get home. By the time I am home, it is dinner time and I am also quite hungry so I eat almost as soon as I reach home. Then it's either watching some videos on YouTube or read and bed. I feel I am not doing anything once I am back home and I need to figure things out.
