2019 Week 17 Update

I was in a major funk for a good part of this week, but I am much better now and the start of a new week brings new hope.

I have been having some issues with one person where I am freelancing and this person has been very passive aggressive in dealing with me and this has got to me which contributed to the funk I was in.

I’ve rationalised it to myself and I am now much better and will not take this personally.

Anyway, we are at the end of April and for some reason, this month felt too short! This coming week is also going to be short one, with the May Day mid-week holiday. Mid-week holidays always remind me of a college friend who used to live for such holidays. She used to say that this meant Tuesdays feel like Fridays and Thursdays feel like another Monday and the week does not feel like the usual week at all.

Have a wonderful week folks!

This is the start of exams week for both BB & GG. GG’s written exams already started, but BB’s written exams only start from tomorrow. He had his practicals earlier last week.

My nagging mum mode has started and I have warned both of them that if they don’t do well in this exams, then their June holidays will be spent at home doing exam papers and will not be able to enjoy their holidays at all. Hopefully this should spur them to do better in this exam.

After this exam is the prelims which will happen sometime in August and then the final O level exams in October! I will be so relieved once that is over, but then there’s the waiting for the results that will be nerve wreaking!

That is all from our side this week! Happy Sunday folks!

This was such a hectic week that before I knew it, it was over!

S’ Uncle who passed away last year had his first death anniversary. In the tambram community, this is an elaborate three day affair. S had taken leave to help out and so I was also roped in to helping and serving the priests and Brahmins who would come to eat.

This meant that I had to wrap up my daily work by 11 am when S would come home to pick me up and then we would be back home around 4 pm after the day’s function was over. It was so tiring!

The week ended with a nice long break for Good Friday and Easter. Next week is back to the grindstone with work and items to be ticked off my to-do list!

Happy Monday everyone!

This week was a relatively short one because of the Good Friday holiday.

All CCA has been suspended and for both this is the end of CCA as they start to gear up for their O levels.

GG stepped down as her CCA Vice President to tears and laughter. Her juniors all gave cards, notes and small presents to the seniors and she got more than her share of the goodies! They had a pizza party to celebrate the end this batch and the new CCA leaders.

BB’s CCA has still not thrown a farewell party to the graduating cohort, so this is something that he will still look forward to.

Next week is exams week for both. BB has practicals this week and then the written exams will only start from the week after while GG’s exams including practicals start from next week.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

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!
