Working at a far distance from home wasn't easy, what's more for a women with family (especially with 2 demanding girls). Actually I was prepared for that after spoken to hubby before we agreed to accept the job. I'm grateful as he is fully supporting me to take up the challenge by voluntarily sending Audrey to kinder garden and Shannen to babysitter on his way to work. Therefore he has been late to work for the past week. Maybe start next week, I shall be sending Shannen early morning to babysitter so that it could save some time for him.
Working in a big company wasn't easy. It may takes you years to know every colleagues even though we are under the same roof for 9 hours per day. My department colleagues work very late almost everyday, they work until 8-9pm and some of them even come back on Saturday. I feel like an 'alien' while walking out from the office after working hours. Ha ha ha..... But I don't care, I also need my personal time for myself and my family. What a bad discipline employee am I, ..... don't let my boss know I'm a lazy staff!

My New Working Life Starts Today
Not working for almost 4 months, I truly enjoyed being a full time housewife so far. Fully understood now why some of my friends could stay away from work but still find their life full of excitement.
Today marks the 1st day of another working journey in my life. I'm nervous but excited and happy as finally I was being hired again.... yahoo!
This is my 3rd company I'll be working for after graduated 11 years ago. Don't you think I'm a loyal employee? Hem hem....actually I'm lazy to find new job and don't really like to start all over again in a new environment.
I never ever think that I could travel so far from home to work at this new place which takes at least 40 minutes to reach by paying expensive toll fares and sometime it could take me 1.5 hours one way during bad traffic time.
I told hubby for so many years we were lucky as my previous company was not very far from home and due to advantages of reverse traffic that have saved my traveling time, I was the one responsible to send and pick up our daughters without him rushing back home from work. Stress release for him.
It's time to change the job routine since my new working place is far as compared to his office now. Hopefully we could manage to adjust our timing and reach home in time to fetch our daughters by either one of us. Another headache will be our dinner. No more home cook meals by then. Maybe need to cater or just 'ta pau' (take away) from food stall, at least for the first month.
Who dare say it's not difficult to be a working housewife, a working mother of 2 kids, a working women for a family....... Don't you think you guys are the luckiest man at home?

Interview Week
I've been busy lately due to a fully scheduled job interviews last few days, one more scheduled next week. I'm so stressed and tired. I've got to prepare myself for each interview. First, need to googled the destination as I'm not familiar with the road direction in KL, always get confused. Secondly, got to check the company profile and background. Thirdly, need to arrange someone to pick up Audrey from kinder garden.
No doubt I felt tension this whole week, but I'm also happy because at least this busy week gave me some hope of being hired (after sitting at home for months). Not sure whether I will get any offer from any of these companies, updates only by next week. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Farewell Dinner
I’m busy these few days for our Farewell Dinner preparation. Yup, this will be the last dinner held by company even though they have postponed the official closure to end of Feb next year. As people will start leaving company end of next month, management decided to held it tomorrow night.
The budget for this dinner is only 1/3 of previous years allocation, we are so disappointed but still wish to make it as great as it could. No lucky draw but a good value of lucky dips will be organized this time. We used to have lucky draw and lucky dips concurrently last time, but since I never have chance to be the luckiest one all these while, it makes no different for me ..... :P
My colleague passed me a copy of Auld Lang Syne lyrics yesterday and asked all committee to practise singing it. I remember singing this song twice in my whole life. First time during my primary school (Std Six) graduation ceremony and second time during secondary school (Form 5) graduation ceremony. And tomorrow night will be my third time singing this song, haiiiiiii........ I don't actually like this song, it makes me feel so hard to say goodbye to everyone.
Will post more after tomorrow night dinner.

Busy Weeks Are Ended
Hooray... my colleague finally came back after 2 weeks MC due to chicken pox. I was so tightened up with most of her works. We got to share the workload of 4 persons among 2 pairs of hands now. Because initially we already shorthanded since beginning of the year due to economic down turn and now add another one due to medical leave. Phiew...... for quite some times never been that busy, not really used to it.
Some of you might be thinking why busy since the company is closing down end of the year? Orders are just bumping in like nobody business. Maybe customers would like to keep stock and some was due to project starts rolling again. Symptom of world economics recovering? But why the jobless rate still that high?
