2017 Week 29 Update

This was another week where I was quite busy at work. I like being busy during the day so I don’t have unwarranted thoughts and get bored. Most days this does happen.

The bunch of people I am working with are a nice bunch, but they are quite set in their ways of what is their ‘job’ and what is someone else’s, which I find, quite frankly, regressive in nature. In today’s world, there’s nothing like that, and you just do what needs to be done. I guess things need to change and I am sure it will get there.

S has been having some issues with one of his friends and this friend broke a 12-year-old friendship over something so trivial that when he told me about it, I was quite shocked! I am sure when this friend realises their mistake, they will regret the words that were flung out and even if both want to revive their friendship, I am sure things will never be the same.

It’s back to another work week for me today and today I will be helping out a colleague in something she is doing. I do hope, it will be a good learning experience.

Have a wonderful week people!

Another week is over and the children are quite busy with school and CCA. Both have major competitions coming up next week and are very busy preparing for it.

GG is one of main leads for their competition segment and has been preparing quite hard. I keep hearing singing and dancing coming from her room, but she does not to share the sequence with us m, she wants it to be a surprise on the actual day.

BB's competition is a flying one, a glider flying competition if I am not wrong and he has been working on his glider since the beginning of the year. He didn't do well in this competition last year, so I hope he does better this year.

That's pretty much the updates from GG & BB this week. Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

I did my first offsite project this week and it kind of made me sure that I may not want to stay here in the long term. Things happened (that I don’t want to go into detail at this point) that now I am sure that unless things change, I will move out as soon as a suitable opportunity comes my way. 

The weekend was a very relaxing one, where I just binged watched the dramas I missed during the week. 

Now, here’s to a wonderful week ahead and hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead.

Another usual week for the children. 

GG is busy preparing for their show choir competition which is towards the end of the  month. She has a solo singing part and is supposedly one of the leads. The competition will take place on a Saturday and they will have to be at school quite early and the day will end quite late. Their school’s run of the draw means they will be one of the last school’s to perform. 

Yesterday, BB’s school had a Value-In-Action project for th secondary 2 students which was had compulsory attendance. The theme was going green and they went around the neighbourhood asking people for old clothes, newspapers etc and BB had a great time with his friends. They also raised $10,000 Singapore dollars to give to charity and the children were chuffed about it. 

Have a blessed Sunday folks!

For some reason, this week, I was in a major funk. Things happened at work which upset me majorly and this was the reason I was upset pretty much the whole week!

The saving grace at work is my reporting manager, a lady whom I liked immensely, even at the interview. She is also new, under a year there and seems to want to make the changes that will make the workplace better. Also, the place I work has been merged with another organisation (this happened around two to three weeks after I joined) and so things are fairly chaotic right now. So I am hoping that things do settle down a bit in a while and things will get better. If it does, that’s good and I will stay there for a long time, but if things are still in status quo, then my target is to complete a year here and then start looking for a new position. Though with the last ‘looking for a position’ still fresh in my mind, this is something I’d rather not repeat anytime soon.

But I have decided to change my mood as well as attitude now. I plan to be proactive, have a learning attitude and don’t want to take anything anyone says to heart. I am going to learn as much as I can while I am here, after all, every place and job is a learning opportunity.

Life at home has become quite boring these days. I  wake up, get ready for work, get to work and then by the time I am back home, it’s already dinner time and I zone out after dinner. Weekends are taken up with doing the chores I missed during the week and it’s time again for the next work week.

Hopefully, I have more news in the coming weeks…Have an awesome week folks!
