2017 Week 26 Update

This was a short but intense work week. For some reason the week went by quite fast and I was exhausted every day when I reached home.

This week, twice, I realised that someone above me (God for me), is looking out for me. While I don’t want to go into the specifics, both times, I either missed doing something I would have regretted or wanted something badly and both times, almost immediately, I got signals from God and it happened to me! It’s at times like these, our faith in that higher power gets reinforced and becomes strong.

Other than that, I just lazed the weekend away! July seems to be a super packed month for me and here’s wishing to a great month!

School has started and with this week (the next week too actually) being short school weeks, both the children have gotten immersed into school almost immediately!

GG had a school choir programme (one where their choir teacher was singing) and it was during the week with the next day being another school day. The programme was in the evening from 6-9 pm and by the time S picked her up and came home it was almost 11 pm. GG is someone who goes to bed by 9 pm, so this really took a toll on her the next day. 

BB’s week was the usual one with school and CCA. 

I am now on my naggy mode with the common tests just a few weeks away and the year-end exams a couple of months away! 

Have a blessed Sunday everyone!

I survived week two at work and so far, it’s been a good ride here. My reporting manager is very sweet but I suspect will turn to be a hard taskmaster. There are others too in the office, whom I am learning about as we go along. 

Since I didn’t have good flats to wear to work, I decided to get some new ones. I didn’t want to buy cheap ones which hurt and break soon so decided to splurge on some good leather ones. I brought lambskin leather shoes at this brand called Pretty Fit, which seemed to be a decent price and since the Great Singapore Sale is going on, I got the second pair at 20% off. This is probably the priciest pair of flats I have ever owned!

S took the children to see the Transformers movie while I shopped and they loved it. This ends their school holidays. 

We’re still in our extended weekend, but for those whose week has started, have a wonderful week!

School holidays are ending in another day and both children are ready for school. They both say they are quite bored being at home and so school is now welcome!

Preparations for school are in full swing with BB having his haircut yesterday. His natural style is something that I’ve seen guys take time to get right – it’s something that K-pop stars (the guys) have and which young people here try to replicate. 

This space will probably become a little more exciting when school starts on Tuesday as the children start getting ready for the year end exams. Term 3 will be roughly two months and term four less than that, so this half of the year will be considerably shorter than the first half!

To all my Muslim readers, Eid Mubarak and to people in my part of the world Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

This week has been quite eventful for me. I’ve been hinting about this for a while, but I started a new job last Monday. It’s different from what I’ve done before and I am still in the learning process. The people here seem nice and I am hoping I can be here for a long time.

Coming back from the holiday, GG fell sick and passed the virus to me on Sunday afternoon. So I was sick the first day of work. I could not take time off since it was my first week there, so I was popping medicines at night and going to work in the morning. I’m much better now and actually have passed the virus along to S, who is now sick!

My hiring manager has been very busy this week with deadlines so I will be meeting them only sometime next week to discuss what I need to do first.

This was pretty much my week. Hopefully, I will be happy here and have many stories to share! Have a wonderful week folks!
