After started work for 1 week, I had resumed my pumping session to once a day. Reyna refused milk at home, so I'm pumping in the hope that she will take my milk in the afternoon. Let's hope miracles will happen bah.
Otherwise, I'm asking mum to give her milo lor. :P

2nd day of work
Today is my 2nd day of work. So far so good. I'm still in the 'holiday' mood where this job seems to be interesting and I'm still enjoying it. Looking forward to work everyday at this moment. My colleagues are all very nice guys and not "dao" (hopefully they remain as such) so it was quite a good environment. I've met my ex-colleague from another division and managed to join them in the $10 million toto tonite (hope got chance to bring home some money man!). It was so good to see them again. Some of them have left but majority are still around and Amy brought me to visit each of them yesterday as the place had been renovated over the 5 years and they have shifted their location.
As for my gals.....haha, abit drama lor. On my first day of work, when I was about to leave the house, Reyna refused to let me go, she clinged onto me and asked me to carry her and then she refused to come down until I managed to talk to her and divert her attention. Then when I went downstair (as my mum n Renise brought Rachel to school), I went to bid good-bye to Renise and to my surprise, she cried badly the moment I walked away and she, too clinged on me until I had to remove her forcefully from the carrying. What a sad start for the day. Then when it came to evening, dunno if it's Reyna who was feeling unwell then got cranky or she missed me and got cranky and the moment I'm back home, she wanted her nei nei. She didn't drink milk for the whole day!!!
Today was my 2nd day, I've got to leave early to bring Reyna to doc again. Today was much better for a start as Reyna, though unwilling to let me go for work, still, managed to divert her attention and Renise didn't see me when I left. My mum told me Reyna was alright the whole day, playing with her sisters, but of cos, still coughing and running nose. As I'm bringing her to doc and managed to only make an appt for 3.30pm (actually planned to make appt aft 4pm, but this was the latest slot), so I made my hb took half day leave while I only leave at 3pm as I need to learn as much from my work as possible as my senior may go into labour any time. So hb took half day and went home to fetch Reyna before fetching me. To my surprises, Reyna behaved well in the car seat alone in the front seat.
So, today, not too bad. Let's see how's tomorrow. Oh, btw, it's 15th day of new year!!

Last Day as Tai Tai
Today is my last day of my Tai-tai's life. Tomorrow, I will start my career life again.
Yesterday, I quickly went to BBDC to apply for my PDL and went for some window shopping and enjoy my last bit of those shopping times at office hours and without the big crowd. After today, my shopping trips will be with pool of people and everywhere are packed kind of shopping which makes my shopping trip less enjoyable.
During these 14 mths at home, I am very happy to have nurture Reyna myself and that I've watched her grown up from a baby to a toddler. Seeing her so attached to me makes me feel that all my hardwork over these months were worth it. Beside the nurturing of the gals, I also have a great sense of achievement as I've started my 3Rs and I can see my baking skills improving. I also got myself involved in promoting Breastfeeding with the Breastfeeding Mothers' Support Group. These had been my achievements. Nothing great, but just have kind of own satisfactions.
From tomorrow onwards, I will have a new set of goals and resolutions to achieve. Also, from tomorrow onwards, I will miss my Reyna the most as she had been with me most of the time during these months of SAHM life and she's the reason for me to stop work then. I do feel abit sad to leave her now but I know she will be in good hands of my mum. But also, after I've started work, I can only hear from my mum her new developement and growth as well as achievement and not able to see them myself for the first time.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thanks God for giving me the opportunity to take care of Reyna for the past year and He too, had taken care of us well. I believed that this is the path He had choosen for me to go through, hence I will treasure it and learn to adapt and walked through all obstacles which may lay ahead of me. And I know, He will see me through them too.
Let's hope that life after working will be much better (Financially and physically as well as emotionally).

Working Soon
I'm quitting my job as a SAHM, next Wednesday, I will be starting my full time job as a Project Administrator. I'm so happy to have found this job. It's near my mum's place, my sis's work place and it's a US MNC which provide good benefits.
There were 2 offers for me to choose, Purchasing Assistant in a Local Marine Trading co in Jurong or Project Administrator in US MNC in West Coast. I choose the later, reason being it's near my mum's place (1 direct bus) and it's a US MNC plus the environment is nice. The Marine Trading co, it's not far as my hb can fetch me to work, but the environment is so "stale", so boring, no life like that, so I scare I'm not used to it. Pay wise, they both offered the same.
K, now starting work soon, what happen to 3Rs? They will be taken care by my mum and hope they will behave. I will especially miss and worry abt Reyna. After all, she's brought up by myself for the past 14 mths, her like and dislikes and her action and her movement, I will know what she wants, but dunno my mum will know or not. Anyhow, I believe she will be in good hands. Will be giving her FM / Full Cream milk when I'm not around and hope she will continue to latch on when I'm home. She is my darling. :P

Kampong Fish / Doctor Fish
As I'm very happy yesterday, I went for a small relaxation at this place called Kampong Fish Village at Novena Ville.
This is a place where you can do therapy on your feet or hands with the help of Doctor Fish. What we (my hb & I) was to put our feet in the pool of these doctor fishes and they will starts feed on the dead skin on your feet. Initially, when we placed our feet in, it was real ticklish, imagine, so many fishes came and nibble on your feet, but it was alrite after awhile and we were kind of enjoying the bites.
It was known to help in people with eczema and prorasis, otherwise, it have therapy effect as the bites kinds of produce microscopic massage to your feet promoting better blood flow to the feet. More can be read from : http://www.kampongfishtherapy.com/

Finally, I've passed
Yesterday, was my 4th time taking my final theory test and finally, I've passed it!!!! Haha, I couldn't believe myself when I saw the screen showed me a "passed" and as I walked out of the examination room, I couldn't control my laugh, haha, I was sooooo happy. Even though it was unneccessary to print the result slip, I still did..... and here it is:
Haha, so now, after I've found a job, I will go for my practical test, it's so hard to pass this theory test, so I will sure to get my driving license before this test expired.

Lousy Day
Yesterday was the lousiest day!!! As I've said in the previous posting that I'm going for interview yesterday. Damned idiotic was that company.
I was asked, or rather, I've informed 2 days before hand to change the appt time from 11.30am to 3 pm on the same day for the interview. I took a cab (cost me $8.20) to the co and I arrived around 2.45pm. I filled up the application form (which was a very simple 1 page form) and they didn't even have my resume, luckily I brought it along with me and attached to the form for them. I was told that her boss was having meeting and asked me to wait for awhile. I waited, waited and waited, around 3.15pm, the gal came and told me if I'm rushing off, then I better don't wait, but since I got nothing on, I decided to wait, thinking it won't be a long wait as we had already made the appt. So, I waited, waited and waited again. At 4.20pm, a few staffs told me that their boss will be here soon, so I waited and waited and waited again. At around 5pm, that idiotic boss finally showed his moronic face. He didn't even invite me to the room and just signalled me to go into the room with him. He brought along a guy and told that guy to wait awhile that he will be very fast.
Guess what, when I went into the room, he just briefly appologies for my waiting and ASKED ME WHAT POSITION I'M APPLYING FOR!!!! Gosh!, I thought he knew what position he is looking for before interviewing, well, that's not the end. He asked me further "WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE?!!!" I thought he should have gone through my resume and my application before deciding to ask me down for an interview?!! Ok, so I answered his question that my experience with my previous co was sourcing blah blah blah and purchasing items like stationeries and computer hardwares and softwares....etc, etc.... then guess what he said, " We don't buy computer items and stationeries here" Wa lau, you asked me for experiences leh, I'm not selling these items to you leh, of cos I know you not buying such items lah. Then he waited for a while (I think he was thinking how to ask me to go) Then told me he still got a few applicants and asked me to wait for their phone call (Err, excuse me, he don't even know what position he was hiring and he told me still got a few applicants) Anyway, I also didn't bother to talk to him much. Btw, the whole session only took me less than 2 minutes for a 2 hours wait!!! Now you know why he brought his friend up and told him he will take awhile nia. What a jerk!!! Waste ppl time and money.... Lesson learnt, if next time such things happen, don't bother to wait, even if waited, get this opportunity to screw the interviewer back to make sure your wait is worth it! Hrmp!
