It has been nearly a year since we all locked ourselves in our nests, not going anywhere - except during Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) when people were allowed to go out, schools were open and people can eat at the restaurant, before being locked up again.

Hey, it's been a while.

My life, or in particular my work life has changed dramatically for the past 8 months. The first 2 months was tough for me - new culture, new working environment, new people, new KPI hahaha but yeah I survived!

It's normal when you join a new company, people will ask the reason you left your previous employment. I have given the same reason all this while, due to the distance. But hey, if they ask me now, I will confidently say I crave for changes and I'm glad I moved on. My previous company is good, but this one is better in many aspects!

I'm not complaining about my previous company though, in fact I'm always thankful for being part of the team before. I have learnt so much from my ex boss, ex colleagues and my job, but as I moved on I realize there is a bigger world I am yet to see outside. The experience I gained from my previous work that I carry with me alongside my career has been very useful. I got to share them with new people I meet and I got to learn from them at the same time.

Well, talking about changes - people say change is constant. It happens every day, every where, any how and to every one - it's inevitable. I'm not a kind of person who welcomes changes easily, but I have to force myself or else, I will always be in the same place doing the same thing while everything else around me changes.  I will become older, my kids will grow up, and I hope, my life and my career will improve too.

To those who ask me (irl) when is the best time for them to find a new job, I would say, anytime... or when u need changes. You may find it in your current place, or you may find it somewhere else. Be brave, and make your first step.

Well, I have so much to say but for now, let me embrace this new work life.

It's the second day of 2018 and I have finally come out with a new year resolution:

STOP MAKING A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.

Today feels just like any other mornings.

I woke up at 5.30 am, left home for work at 6.30 am and reached office at 7.40 am. I hate traffic jam. Had breakfast at the canteen, work till I'm numb, had lunch, work again till I'm numb again.

I'll leave office at 5.30 pm and reach home at 7. Again, I hate traffic jam.

I'll be spending some times with my family, mostly my kids, play some games and watch some videos together then fall asleep while breastfeeding Mikael.

The end.

.... and repeat.

I don't even have the time to cook or clean the house or do the laundry except during weekend. I'd normally leave home sleepy (cause I wake up 2 to 3 times every night to feed Mikael) and reach home tired (with the traffic congestion). So most of the time when I don't have any plan over the weekend, I'll stay home, do chores, have coffee talk with my husband and play with the kids.

Been thinking about being a housewife several times already. Shall I proceed with the plan?
