hi mummies! Grabbing lunch time to drop in here.. to chat a little.. guess what, came to work today, saw an email that I am blasted with 23 more accounts from a colleague that is transferred to another dept. I chose 11, and dumped 11 others to the MISC and 1 to another colleague. While I certainly believe I am not that free to take up these accounts, I think better of it than to fight all out. Instead, I just took the list and took what sound relevant. Cry also no tear now, didn’t know I am this disheartened..
Re: health
Thanks mummies for the advice and support, I feel much better today, and still drinking 100+. I lose 1.5kg over the 4 days at home, and the difference is so huge that my SIL commented on Sat night that I shrunk, and today, all my colleagues say I shrunk till I look so shag, and not nice looking. They say when I started work, I was a bit fleshy than before, and looked nice, just 2.5 weeks, and I am all skeleton. :-( I didn’t realize I shrunk that much though the weighing scale did tell me so..
Re: cataract
I am sorry to sidetrack a little, but are there any mummies here have experience with cataract related topics? My MIL’s surgery is on Thurs, I am taking leave on Thurs and Fri to be home in case she needs help, though helper is at home. Good excuse being away from work also. She is advised not to cook or go near smoke, so, I need to take over the cooking. Do you have any idea what kind of food or tonic I can cook for my MIL for speedy and good recovery?
Re: 100 days baby
Yesterday was zaizai turned 100 days, and I was expecting him to change his pattern (according to my mom). And so he did, he decided to be generous with his crankiness. He was the crankiest yesterday compared to the past 99 days! Goodness… he was cranky for 2 nights during the 1st month and I thought that was it.. all these 3 times because of colic.. :-( so last night, hubby and I were so anxious, kept consoling and pacifying him but he just kept crying, I put ruyi oil and he farted, then he quiet down and fell asleep after giving me a huge smile.. duhz! I was expecting him to be able to flip or turn or somewhat develop after 100 days, not to be cranky :-(
MummyLian: thanks for your wishes! I envy babies sleeping in air-cond coz my hubby doesn’t allow me to switch on air-cond with zaizai around, thus, this mommy perspire at night, to give in to baby. He doesn’t want to let zaizai get too used to sleep in air-cond that he can’t survive without one.
Klitz: when are you going back to work? Or already back to work? I remember that you work for family? If so, can apply to work flexi?
too much to ask for huh, but I totally agree our priority shifted, and I have never imagined this happening to me. Not a bad thing I hope..
thanks for getting the tea, let me know when the second batch arrive, we can yumcha at NEX if you go your mom’s place and I take from you.
Milo: yes, feel much better today, thanks! No wonder I saw your FB says you are packing to move out, I thought the relocation moved forward. Good luck in finding a good tenant! While a lot may be sacrificed for this relocation, but I still envy you. Many friends enjoy their relocation and they spent splendid of time with their little ones, some even get to further their studies, came back with another paper.
good luck, and relax..
Stefie: I agree with you, no matter what I lost, it’s more important to be happy and with zaizai. When I look at my laptop, my colleague says I tend to frown and look very serious. That is why zaizai will quietly stare at me working on it without a word, sometimes falling asleep, sometimes waited for me to turn and say hi to him. He is very sensible for his age, I can’t be so selfish. Good that Alexis is getting better in IFC, good for you too. Time flies, you have exactly a week to start work!
Dew: thanks! It’s not about listening anymore, it’s not things people say but how things work. I have this “take it or break it” theory. I tried to keep to it last year though I didn’t agree, but things didn’t change after so long, and it just got worse, so, no choice, I’ll just have to leave it. The push factor is strong, now need to find some pull factor.
only thing is, office is now 5 mins drive away from home, I doubt I can find another job that is so near, but then, no pain no gain.. gain some, lose some.. no choice..
Muddypaws: thanks! I am indeed very satisfied with my job scopes.. hehehe.. especially the traveling part, and the exposure. But current system is tarnishing the good rapport I built with customers and I am in a very difficult situation that doesn’t seem to improve. Oh dear, didn’t know about your termination, you could have shared with us then. But good that you found a new job! And I love this traveling bit of your new job. :-D I am on the opposite of you. I do not bring a single pic of Issac, coz I do not want to start missing him if I see his pics. Only time to think of him is pumping time. :-D your hubby is so sweet, my hubby will not be able to do much without helper or his mom. Kudos to your hubby!
Ok, time to get back to work mummies.. can’t believe I am so long winded today, probably coz my spirit is a little up today..
