Hello, I’m still around...

So fast, it is almost a month time since I start to work. Weee…few more days is pay day! So far so good, I manage to pull through it on my job and at the same time manage the house well. My role of job started immediately after the training ends.

Every day my job got to be picking up calls, many many calls. The interval time for calls coming is between 5-8 mins after one another. The line was main hunting line and 4 of us in charge to entertain it. If the call was related to support then I got to jot down their problem/ complain and log ticket. Sometime also got scold by customer and rush us for solution delivery. Being in this post I got to be a very good listener to find out their problem encounter and try to get their problems in detail as precisely as possible. Early weeks when start picking up calls getting ppl scold, blame and shout, actually I was kind of depress and stressful. But after my supervisor advice and colleagues support on how to handle those situation and response those calls, I’m getting better now for learn not to take their words in heart and not to bring those emotions and problems back home.

During the working hour, I got to be multi-tasking to handle calls, MSN and Skype, log complain, do remote access and also at the same time to find solution for them. This kind of task, never get us to feel sleepy coz it is fully occupy. Although we facilitate with full usage of Internet, believe me I don’t even have a wee bit of 10 mins of time to go on FB or others, not to say a quick blogging.

After working hour, for the good of 30 minutes I can sit down for dinner, the rest of the hours before bedtime I’m will be occupy on the house chores and accompany Terry. No TV, newspapers time at all. By the time I got the ME time it was about 10pm or 10.30pm and I really totally flat out by then. For the weekend, more or less still occupy with house chores, church, accompany family, shopping and other programs, I still trying hard to find the free time to go online.

See now… I have been deeply missing so much of my blogging time, I got lots want to share, but too little time now, not to say blog hop. Very soon I will not be able to update what happen around with my friends in Facebook and also to my dear blog friends. So, pls don’t leave me if I’m not hop. I will try to my best to keep up in blog and soon if I can manage my time well then only I’ll do more.

As for Terry, he is quite adapt to the daycare life now. The only thing is he do not have enough of sleep time. 2 hours of nap time at school is too short for him and at night I try to speed up my work so that I can accompany him to sleep early at 9.30pm or 10pm (wake up at 7.45am). Daddy has been start involve in helping to fetch him back from school after work and try to back early to help put him to sleep. Since the day he starts daycare I have been very worried and concern on his health. Been forcing him to drink lots of water (1 litre at least) and popping 400mg Vitamin C everyday. As I know the chance to get sick is rather higher for daycare kids. Just recently cases of HMFD and H1N1 is hitting. His kindy got a suspected case of H1N1 recently and the school will be close 1 day (weekend) for disinfection. I'm still looking for any other nutrition food to boost his immune, any recommendation?

The Parent's Day is coming soon I have been taking a day off work to go for that 15 mins short section of discusion on progress and development. OK, thats all for now, if not a holiday today I don't think I'm able to update blog. Think that I got 3 days off in a row, No, I don't have.

Tomorrow got to be a fun fun day. Happy Weekend to you too ~

How do you decide who to marry?

This is sooo true yet funny from kids.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. -- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. -- Kristen, age 10


WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10


HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. -- Derrick, age 8


WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids. -- Lori, age 8


WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure?)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10 (isn't he ready for the world of dating?)


WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. -- Craig, age 9


WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich. -- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do. -- Howard, age 8


IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)


HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8 (I like this kid)

And the #1 Favorite is ...

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10 (He'll be married forever)

LeSportsac sling purse & Gathering

Last week, Rachel found a good grab on Lesportsac sling purse. So without thinking much, we asked this mummy help us to get one too, together with Mummy Moon and we got a 20% discount.

It is a Lesportsac Spring & Summer 2010 collection of magazine from Japan comes with the bag. Each book cost RM66.70. The magazine is full in Japanese language and I only able read the pic. It is about the new design and prints of the bag having in this season.

I think this bag is a limited edition and only can get along with the magazine itself. So it is worth getting it and much more cheaper than any regular purse selling in Lesportsac boutique.

Saturday, we met up to collect the bag cum dinner at Station 1 Kuchai, 8pm with Irene family, Moon family and Rachel. I went there myself with Terry only. It is my first time seeing Rachel and her handsome Philip B. As the same with the rest of the first-met mummy, we don’t feel that we are so stranger to each other. It is just like our own mutual friends, seeing them in person make us a step closer to each other. This round snap a few coz miss out when first meeting Irene.

Here are the kids gathering with games occuping them.


Our table was the loudest that night, kids very fast get warm up immediately after their dinner and we adult on another end of the table chatting away.

We call it a night and left at 9.30pm. Again, it was a great time meeting them.

Terry's art work for the week

Officially a working mom

for the first time...

The time now 10:18pm, finally I've done my work of the day and take some ME time before sleep. So far so good, this morning woke up at 7am, get ready the boy and myself then out the house at 8.25am. After send Terry to school then took another 15 min drive to reach office. Just on-time when I'm there, better not to be late.

4 years SAHM life just ended so fast. It was just like started yesterday where I used to hold a knife, the wok, stay at kitchen, the hand and leg gets wet and dry all day long; now I'm back to those working days facing the computer and sit for 8 hours where I'm one during my single days.

I can say today my mind and brain works very slow in try to digest and get what they try tell me and taught me. A lot of things the head department go through with me…I think I only absorb 50% of it. Aside from that, today I also need to read lots of document regarding my coming training and work stuff. Ahh...so many and I was like stuck there. On my desktop, today need to configure my Outlook, setup MSN and Skype (yes, very much need this in the company and must use this 2 communication tools too) and install many other work related stuff.

For this week and next week, it will be all training days for me. This is a small company but making big solution in biz to many. We only have 20-22 staffs (including founder, co-founder and partners) and mostly are guys. Our working space also open concept, inside one big room space (behind the orange door at waiting area), no cubicle, no inner wall, from every corner of your seat u can see everybody and your talking volume can almost reach everybody ears too. Not only that, our office attire also very free and easy. Those men wear crocs to work and simply slipper too. They are a bunch of friendly, joker and fun people, no position level of separation and no politics.

I should consider myself lucky joining at this year. This is the first year and first time the company giving out company trip to staffs and the trip will be on next month. I thought I won’t be eligible to go coz I’m the newest, but they still invited me to join. It is actually a team building trip to Port Dickson. Well, it doesn’t matter where to go, I very much happy for able to enjoy this benefit. Nothing much I want to complain and compare, it simply good and more than I can ask for.

As for Terry, today another brand new week for him and stay back in daycare. I reach there at 6pm after work and not wanted to go in to pick him up yet, as that time he only starts his dinner. I know once he saw me he won’t be eating anymore. I drag till 6.30pm and went in to peek. He saw me when he went to toilet and that’s it, he not wanted to go in the eating room again to finish his food. For kids finish food they can play, so he proceed to play and don’t want to go home after pursuing many times. I just let him play for another 15 mins more.

He behaves so differently, he end up throws a big tantrum on my last call to go home. When I evantually walk off, he crouch and roll on the floor, cry so badly and loud for not wanted to go home till I need to drag him out the place. The principal said maybe he is trying to manipulate and testing my patience as I don’t get to be with him most of the days now. This is normal on kids she said as they also need to learn and grow when comes to this and get use to the changes around. Later they will get used to it and will be fine. I'm more comfortable after listening that. I think I should buy something to reward him and cheer him up tomorrow.

Back home, he refused to let me hold him, as I walk towards letter box near the lobby, I told him I’m going there to pick up letter, he don’t listen to me and go to the lift area. I thought he won’t be going in without me and will back to letter box place with me. Who knows when I walk to the lobby I don’t find him. I gone so mad at that moment, worrying where he going, stay inside which lift or will he going out at the wrong floor? He knows he stay which floor, but I never let him press on it before. I straight away went up to my floor first, not saw him too at my floor's lobby then I press on all 3 lift bottom for going up and down to let it reach my place. There goes one of the lift coming down first reach my place and open the door. I saw him standing inside there, almost sobbing holding his nappy cloth with a lady who just now also came almost the same time as we enter at G lobby. Thank God she was not walk out the lift yet and the lift is heading down to G again (maybe to bring Terry to look for me). I just couldn’t think anymore and I know I should say Thanks to her for accompany him. Just before I pull him out, I shouted directly to my boy "WHERE ARE YOU GOING!...", really really so mad, speechless.

I continue scold + spank before even walk back to my unit. It is just too dangerous for him to walk off like that. He is one stubborn boy, like to do his way, want means want, don't want means don't want. Sometimes I also don't know how to correct him and teach him.

Way to go mummy and Terry, as we got more things to grow, discover and learn...pray that God is with us and protected us all the time.
