First Day as a Working Mother...

When Pyone told me Jamie missed me a lot today and was crying for me in the afternoon, my heart really hurts. But I know I need to work still. I kept reminding myself and Jamie that it's for our own good that I work.

Frankly I enjoyed my first day at work today!!! And I am looking forward to more new tasks and more new things to learn everyday too!

It makes me feel good to be back at a work station and feeling useful to an Organization once again. I think it is very hard for someone has been working since she graduated to really stop working and be a Stay-at-Home Mother. Maybe some women do enjoy staying home and spending 24hrs with their children. But I know after a few months of motherhood, that it is just not me. Even if I am not working full time, I will need my personal time too! I need to meet my friends, go for ladies night out and do my massages/facials or just go shopping alone. I used to be afraid of being alone when I was single, but after I was married and now with Jamie, I really appreciate and treasure every bit of lonely time I have. Sometimes, I wish I can have more lonely time even.

I do miss Jamie and I feel that I appreciate her even more now that I cannot see her so often. I really hope she feels the same too, and not drifted away from me instead. I promised her I will find time to bring her out or even get her to participate in my workplace events especially when she is older.

I had never missed her so much. I practically flew my way home wishing to see her ASAP...I hope to decorate my work station with more of Jamie's photos soon. And Jamie was soo sweet when she saw me! She wants me to hug her all night!!! And guess what, she even woke up early enough to receive a super kiss from me before I set off to work. And tonight she slept early too. Maybe she wishes to receive a hug from me tomorrow morning too.

And yes, I am slowly bringing all my barang barang to work. Feeling very at home already :) The colleagues are really nice. Even helped us to make orange juice for lunch! So nice of them!!! And since lunch is provided so it's really enjoyable to sit around at the table together to eat and chat at the same time. Yeah, no need to squeeze and sweat at the eateries. We can eat in peace at our own pantry.

And we have so many things in the pantry that we will never go hungry. Think we need to be really discipline so as not to put on too much weight. I remember I put on like 4-6kg the last time I worked here. So I really need to discipline myself.

Since we have microwave, steamer, induction stove, juicer, toaster/oven etc etc etc, we can cook anytime we like too! So Cool right!

Really looking forward to grow old in this Organization!

Jiayou Jiayou Jiayou Jolene~!!!

Shopping Dayout with Jamie on eve of new job start...

Sounds so sad right :P

I believe I will still have the chance to bring Jamie for shopping on weekdays :) But then I guess today is a special day. Because it marks the end of my Stay-at-Home-Mum or Work-from-Home-Mum Days...

From Tomorrow onwards, I will be a Working Mother...

I already know that I will definitely miss Jamie a lot at work tomorrow. I may even wish to call home at lunch time to 'talk' to Jamie. However, I am sure Jamie will be in good hands and will be well-take care of.

Hence I will keep reminding myself that I will work hard and bow low for the sake of Jamie. I want to buy her more pretty dresses and more toys. I want to give the best I can to Jamie. I want her to have a no-worries childhood. I want her to be a happy child. Jamie will be my motivation and aspiration to work hard and jiayou in my new job.

But of coz other than for the sake of my child, there are many other reasons for me to wish to work for my former boss again. And one thing for sure (at least for now), I want to retire in this job. It has always been my dream to find the right job so I can retire in it, just like my dad. He has been working 30+ yrs for the same company and he is retiring from the job soon. I wish I can be like my father....It's very tiring to keep finding the right job and the right boss...and the right colleague(s)...

So All the Way for this new job :D

Since I was worried that I may not have the time to bring Jamie for a shopping trip before the Lucius' BIG DAY, I brought Jamie to Kiddy Palace in TPY to choose her a pretty dress for her favourite korkor :D

See Jamie's pretty dress for Lucius Korkor's First Year BIRTHDAY~!!!



Other than that, since it is the last day of the GSS for Kiddy Palace Members, hence I also bought Jamie's supply of diapers and wet tissues.

Am really curious whether Pureen Diapers is good or not, and since it is selling at only $15.95 for 84pc (M size), hence I bought a packet to try. Won't mind changing to Pureen from Huggies if it's good. However, Huggies is still my favourite :P

Heehee, take a look at Jamie new loots...

Had been using Laogong's haversack as diaper bag since Jamie was born. So specially bought a new haversack for Jamie (and her caretakers - Me and Pyone) so Laogong can have his haversack back :D

OH YA.. Not forgetting the fun learning tool complimentary from Aunty Joey and Uncle Desmond I met up for tea time after our shopping!





Actually I had tried to avoid walking into any kiddy palace shop for sometime because I know I definitely will want to buy something for Jamie. But since financially we may not be able to sustain anymore if I continue to have no fixed pay, hence I had to force myself to stop buying things for Jamie. Now that I know I can have a fixed pay job, I thought it will be nice to buy Jamie something again to mark the start of Looking forward to buy more loots for Jamie soon ^^

Hahaha... What an excuse to shop for Jamie :P

Love you Jamie!!! Mummy Loves You SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH~!!! So Much till I only want to have one child so I can LOVE U AND YOU ONLY :D

Suddenly A Big Fan of Tom Cruise!!!

Seriously, I was never a Fan of Tom Cruise.

I had always thought he is not very good looking, shot and of big ego. Read a lot on papers that he didn't like to take roles that makes him look ugly or dirty. And he only likes to show certain angle of his face which he thinks he looks best in. He seems to be only interested in showing what he thinks he is good in, and not what the movie goers want of him.

Unlike him, Brad Pitt was the Blond and Tanned Guy who seems to be taller and always pick movie scripts with depths. He never minds too much about getting himself dirty or ugly. Looking at all the movies he had done before, you can see his growth. However, things changed after he got together with Anglie Jolie.

After I watched the Movie Knight and Diaz, I have a switch in preference.



I was a bit shocked to realize, Tom Cruise is actually not that short (maybe because Diaz is not too tall?!) and also he is able to be both fair and yet garang.

Ermmm, yes.. I had always thought fair guys are less garang than the tanned ones. But I think ermmm some guys just don't get tanned even if they go under the sun as much as they can.

Anyhow I really like the plot for Knight and Diaz and the Name of this movie is just great! Cruise = Crusader = Knight vs Diaz = Day.

The movie seems to tell us that some times it's not that bad to lead an exciting life too ^^ And the movie makes girls wish to have a knight like Tom Cruise to protect them from all danger!

Way to go Tom Cruise!

I think he looks great in Long Hair. His deep set eyes really suit Long Hair better than short hair...

See below for the pictures... Agree with me?




Seriously if a guy who that sort of pretty eyes look at me in the eye, most likely my feet will go soft and I will lost my sense of speech for as long as he is in sight...

Hahaha...I feel young again, going crazy over movie stars :P

Last but not least, I think Cruise and Diaz are like the best match I saw in so many movies. I think they are like even made for each other in real life. Tom Cruise has this boyish face and eyes that makes me want to protect him and yet he is a big boy with a big ego who wants to be the knight. And Diaz is always like a young girl who is excited over little things, and need some discipline by the big boy once a while :D

I used to watch their Vanilla Sky. Forgot about the plot but I think it's a very intense movie... Don't mind re-watching it...

Jamie First Cycling Experience (26 June 2010)

It was a tiring day today but it is totally worth it!

Guess even after I started my full time job, I will want to make time to bring Jamie out.

Had a long Open House today from 11am to 4pm. Had to clean up the house abit too to prepare for the Open House but it's just part of the job to ensure the house is at its best condition for viewing to fetch the best price.

I was pretty tired after the viewing, but I had promised Jamie to bring her to ECP to cycle. I never want to be a Mother who doesn't keep her promises. So despite I am tired and sleepy, I still bring her and Pyone to ECP. And of coz, my very nice Laogong came along too. He is really very nice to me because despite it being his last school holidays weekends, he still make time to help me out at the Open House in case too many buyers come at the same time.

Jamie really enjoyed herself and she had her many first times today.

Not only it's her first Cycling Experience...











It is also her First Encounter with the sand and sandcastles...







And her First time able to sit up unsupported in a Baby Chair to eat her meal!!!





I am really looking forward to experiencing more first times with Jamie!!!

Yeah! I found a full time job~

It has been a good long wait.

I can't say I really sent out many resumes. But I know I am looking for THE job.

THE job that I can retire in for good.

My Laogong likes to call me a serial job hopper. Seriously, I don't find it fun to keep changing jobs and keep starting all over again. It's really very tiring. And since I tried almost every job I am interested in and even tried something I never thought I will do - Sales... I guess, I know what's my Ideal Job in mind.

And I am pretty excited about this new job I found.

I can't share much about it now yet. Will share more after I start work.

All I can say is, all things happened for a reason. In other words, maybe we can call it fate that we may end up walking in circles and coming to the same place you left long ago. It may not be a bad thing after all. It may just mean when you first got the job, it may not be the RIGHT time. But now that years had passed and things had changed, it is the RIGHT time for you to take up the job again...

Sounds really interesting right?

Heehee... Stay Tuned :) I am starting work on 1 July 2010. Hear more about my job after next thursday then :)
