3 weeks ago, I was still blogging abt my newly found job and how i really hope it'll work out. Sad enough to say, I'll be serving my last day with the company tomorrow. It has got nothing to do with the job ( its quite boring actually, but well, every job is boring i guess), its the distance. I reckon that having to spend almost 3 hours a day travelling to and fro work is really a waste of time. The time wasted could actually be spent with Jaden. Mum agrees and she too, thinks I might as well quit. so on my 7th day of work, I tendered my resignation. Im gonna be a SAHM again!!
Was on leave on Friday for the long awaited photo session at Foto-U. The phtotgrapher was David, who happened to be Weijie&Jasmine's Wedding Day photographer. Saw his portfolio on their website and really love the shoots he captures. I muz say, he's really great and he got so many nice pics oj Jaden tat day. Really tiring for all of us except J i think. Cos all the adults were jumping and playing so hard so as to make him laugh. He was pretty cranky cos it was near his nap time. I tot we couldn't get much nice pics this time and was really prepared to be dissapointed with the photos. But to my surprise, the photos came out great and I was really happy with it. Now, Im having a headache chosing the pictures...

Excel, Formulas, Numbers!!!
Today is my 3rd day at work. I seriously dunno if I can cope with this current job. Its a totally new area, totally new industry and so, everything looks so aliens to me. I dun understand any single jargons used there so Im trying hard to adjust.
The girl that Im taking over, is leaving this friday. Its like a crash course to me. So far, I understand what she had be coaching me on but as there are like almost 30 reports and more than 50 spreadsheets I have to handle and calculate every month, I forresee that Im gonna make tons of mistakes cos I really cant remember all that she's taught me in a week. Its a real challenge for me and I hope I can really cope
However, there's one problem with this job. Location. Its in the west and so i take almost 3hrs a day to travel thru and fro.the HR there initially advise me that I could hope on the company trunk service so I do not have to worry about the distance. But on my first day of work, they actually told me that the transport is full, I cant take. I was so so pissed. Felt like they conned me into accepting the job. *ok,ok. I noe I was dying for this position as well* But still, they did not do as promised! Anyway, I've decided to hope on the transport no matter wat.
Cos its not full at all! Lotsa seats available!
Sometime in the office, I start missing Wormy. I miss the times at home, singing to him, playing with him his fav games, reading to home and so much more!! But staying at home, I feel like Im wasting my life away. Haiz, i really am in a dilemma..
*******************************************************
I was away last wednesday to Sunday and I only touched down after 10pm tt day. During that 5 days in HK and China, I did not have enuff sleep at all. Worse still, I had to report to work the very next day. Till today, Im still feel so so so tired and Im so lack of sleep. Looking forward to Friday!!
Wormy went back to my mum's plc last wed b4 i flew. So on Monday evening after work, I went straight back home after work. After not seeing me for more than 5 days,his reaction when he saw me again on monday nite, was so hilarious! My mum was cleaning him when i reached home cos he juz pooed. When he heard my voice, he was so excited, struggled to climb up. Once he saw me, he started screaming and laughing, den he was sort of grumbling at him. And at the same time, he wanted to cry!! That facial experience on him was so so funny! And when I left that nite, he starting crying, wanted to follow me. My heart broke... At that point in time, I felt like quitting to stay home again.
Yesterday, His daddy brought the loot we bought from HK back to my mum's plc. Upon seeing so many Elmo & Sesame Street things, he was so excited! He helped himself to the toys and was rumbling thru the box, looking for more toys. He was laughing away the whole time. After checking out the box, he say the bag of dried seafood on the floor and he starting rumbling thru it too, thinking that there will be more toys for him. He was so happy that night.
Today, I brought the "Tickle Elmo" toy home for him. He wasn't very interested in the toy cos after a few mins, he pushed Elmo on the floor and walked away. Mummy said, probably this elmo laugh too crazily and destroy the image of Elmo in him. I think so too. There's one more Elmo toy yet to be shown to him. Will wait for him to come back this Friday so he can play with it when he comes home with us..

Goodbye, SAHM Days
Im in HK now. Tagged along again, cos i think i shld since im starting work on Monday. I think I'll be freaking tired on monday cos will reach Sin only at abt 11pm on Sunday!!
Tis is probably the most value-for-$$ trip we every had. We booked a 1pm flight on Wed but was told that there was something wrong with the aircraft engine. They need to change another aircraft and it was to a smaller one so the flight was overbooked. They actually gave us 2 options:
That's not the end. Since it was a 3pm flight, we reached HK only at 7pm and by the time we checked into out hotel, it was already past 8pm. All thanks to the late check in, the hotel was fully booked and they have to give us a free upgrade to the Continental Club!! Wahaha... That means, bigger room, usage of meeting rooms where u get free drinks in the day, free internet access and free breakfast!! *We paid for the normal room, no breakfast option* So nice right! But we stayed only for a nite cos we headed for Jiangmen and will be back in HK only on sat. I dun think we''l be that lucky anymore la...
*********************************************************************************
Out of boredom, I applied for an accounts position in a telecommunication company a few weeks ago. With no experience at all, I was 100% sure that i would not get the job. A few days later, I was asked to go down for an interview. I went "huh, really ar. Reallyu wan to intervie me meh??" I went down half heartedly. But when i was told that they are actually interviewing me for a finance post, i was jumping with joy quietly inside me. FINANCE!! Something that i was always dying to try out. During my interview, they kept stressing the point that I had no experience at all in finance and also, they'll be interviewing a few more candidates. I prayed hard, hoping that I will be selected. They actually called me the next day, offering me the job. I start to fickle. At that very second, I started to think "I can only have Jaden on weekeds" Do I really wan to go back to work? Do i really wanna miss his 1st 3 years?? Should I stay home and nurture him? There were so many many thoughts in my mind, but since im given this opprotunity, i decided to take it on. I hope its not another shitty job cos they actually need me very urgently... *my past very urgent post were all S*** jobs* Oh, another factor that made me think twice abt this job---- Its in JURONG. Yes, JURONG!! Well, again, I took it cos its a good opportunity for me to go into finance next time.
****************************************************************************
4 months ago, I decided to quit my job and stay home with Jaden in prep for his ops. His traumatising ops has well been over and he has, I would consider, fully recovered. So here I am, unwillingly going back to the work force again. Not exactly unwillingly, cos there's still this desire in meto have my own career, my goals. But I really will miss my little precious. I will miss waking up to play with him, watching sesame street with him every weekday morning, bathing for him every morning, playing silly games everyday and rocking him to sleep. Oh I miss my little precious so so much!!
My parents n sis went with me to sign my appt letter, and my sis decides to play with the camera while waiting in the car...
Trying to prove that there's no more food in his mouth
With his Favorite Elmo
Care Bear Shines!!!
Hoping to go out...
He refused to get dressed, so Yiyi decides to take a pic of him, naked.
I wan to see the prawn...
Look, boys like to go against how things are suppose to...
Ball Pool!!! (ya i noe its pathetic...) A Hug from ELMO!!!

- Continue with our plan, take the 1pm flight and be on schedule, as planned.
- Change to the 3pm flight, so a delay in schedule. To compensate us, the will give us each, S$300 spending money in cash, USD150 for in flight shopping, Meal voucher of S$20 and a souvenier pen.
That's not the end. Since it was a 3pm flight, we reached HK only at 7pm and by the time we checked into out hotel, it was already past 8pm.
