WORRY WART.....

My hubby got a job offer.... hopefully, it will turn out well for him....

For me, days are getting bleaker and bleaker..... just got news yesterday that my boss is pregnant & will be giving birth in late Jul 07..... she may not be coming back to HR after her maternity...... There is also no replacement for my colleague who is leaving the company from 1 Mar 07 onwards.... Feeling very, very depressed..... don't wanna return back to work after my NPL..... I wanna get a job soon.....

I have more or less found the job I want, but no news from the organisation yet.... I am praying hard that I am found suitable for the job..... I need to have a break.....

Just got a call.... tat company I went for the interview yesterday called me & more or less offered me the job..... they just wanna me to redo my CV to make it more tidier and I am supposed to e-mail the guy.....

WHAT SHOULD I DO???!!!

My NO PAY LEAVE is approved

My NO PAY LEAVE is approved.... technically, I will start my NPL on 29 March - 30 June 2007..... will only return to work on 01 July 2007..... will I be back?..... I really hope NOT!!!!

I am desperate for a change and am searching for a job extensively...... Went for an interview yesterday, but it is not what I want..... I want the *** JOB!!.... That job is more exciting and challenging and I like the place too..... so I pray hard that I will get the job..... Will only the news (whether good or bad) by end of January.... so I can either cry or laugh out loud.....

Actually being an FULL TIME HOUSEWIFE is not tat bad..... I will have more time to spend with my baby monster..... but I think I will be bored by end Feb or Mar

Anyway, gotta run..... write later

IsNi the WORRY WART!

I been feeling depressed lately..... worried whether I would be able to find the job that I really want...... worried whether my family finances will be ok in 2007......

2007 just started and there is 11 more months to go...... and I am already giving myself lots of baggage to carry..... I wish I can stop worrying, but I can't....... so all I can do is to look more intensively for jobs and pray hard that my hubby will also get a job that he wants......

Will be going for a job interview this afternoon and hope for the best....

Till later

Ian - The BIG BABY

I'm back......

Ian is now about 8.5 mths old.... he is so much naughtier now......

He seems to have my character...... he wants his way & am not shy about it.... But he is so much fun to be with now..... He likes to dismantle & make a mess from his toys.... He can't seem to stand tidiness...... :-P

Anyway, I just took a picture of him all swaddle up just like a newborn......

Compare & contrast how much he has grown & changed.... :-D








Its' FRIDAY

Friday is gonna be over soon..... and it's the WEEKEND again.....

I went for 1 interview yesterday and I really like the job...... I really, really hope that I can get it.... The challenges at the new job is very attractive and I feel that it is really time for me to move on..... Guess all I have to do is wait & see whether I am lucky enough to get picked..... Wish me luck, ok?

Hubby is also sourcing around for a job..... Technically, he been unemployed for 1 week..... Hopefully, he will also get more interviews and get a job that he really wants within the next month or so.......

Right now, the future is so uncertain...... with both of us looking around for new opportunities..... who knows what may happen!..... Just hope that it will be GOOD!

Can't think of what else to write..... so tata and will keep you updated of my JOB HUNT!

12 days

Only 12 days of the year has passed, but what 12 DAYS it been.... so many things happened....

I will be going on away(subject to my Director's approval) from 12 Feb 07 onwards..... 25 days of vacation leave and from 28 March onwards, I will be on no-pay leave till end June 2007.... That means no pay for 3 mths & 4 days..... It takes me lots of guts but guess I need the break and time to search for another job......

But what BAD timing it is.... my hubby is also UNEMPLOYED as at today..... who knows when he will get a job..... I really hope it will be soon..... It is not as if we don't have savings to tide us over...... but it is just the feeling of insecurity..... But I can do now is pray hard that all these happened for a good reason and tat the months ahead is much better for the family......

I guess these feelings of insecurity is the main reason why I keep delaying having a child.... with a child, it means more commitment and responsibilities..... and for a person like me who is DAMN insecure/pessimistic, it is scary..... fear of being unable to give my child the best of everything.....

I really need to learn to be more positive & believe that there is always a silver lining in every cloud.... but it is hard.... I think I am like the ant who keeps on saving for a rainy day and never learn to enjoy life experiences......

With the BIG 30 approaching, I have more things on my mind..... Do I wanna continue on this life path or is it time for a MAJOR change?..... I really need to think things through..... But I guess finally, all I want is security..... but security is just AN ILLUSION..... something that is so fragile and can be torn away anytime....

Before I start to be so PHILOSOPHICAL... let me end it here.....

2007

It is 2007!

Yesterday, hubby & I left Ian with my in-laws & went for the Civil Service Club dinner..... it was kinda fun..... but we left the place at 10.30 pm and went straight home...... no NEW YEAR PARTY for US!!!

Guess we are getting too old for the parties.... :-P

Anyway, hope 2007 brings us prosperity ($$$$), luck & happiness......

Till later
