Weekend Babysitter

Assalammu'alaikum family and friends,

Ramadhan Mubarak! I was busy afterall, having 12 days "off", and returning to many work that is left undone right where I left it, had me coming to work before 9, and going home after 7. So, everything was crazy, right until a friend text me.

After many hurdles of not able to say yes, the day finally came! Well yup! I babysat her pretty baby for one night. Finally, after 5yrs, I finally get to care for a baby all over again. It was nothing but joy. I probably have had enough of baby qualms after taking care of 2 of my nieces from birth to 5, then to caring for Baby Jayden from 5months old to about 8months old but I was wrong, I was secretly yearning for more babies to care for. I was afraid, not of being incapable. I was afraid more of losing the joy of caring for a baby. I easily get myself overly attached to any baby I care for, likewise for my mother.

The late night waking to make milk, the cradle to make a baby sleep, the humming of calming songs, the baby talk, I miss all of it. And oh, I haven't lost my skill to bath a baby without the baby basin, neither have I lost the skill to cradle a baby to sleep in 5mins, ok fine I put Baby M to sleep in about 15min when she woke up abruptly due to a loud phone ring.

My friend decided to send her girl over on some weekends when she needed a break, and so I agreed in a heartbeat. Being a loving mother, she kept texting me to keep herself updated, I am sure she was missing her girl, and waking up when it was time for her milk.

It was a breeze caring for Baby M, the easiest baby next to my 2nd niece. :) They are both on par. They can lie on the mattress for many hours talking to herself and keeping herself occupied with her tiny fingers. Hardly cry to be carried, in fact, Baby M never cried during her stay with us. Scream, maybe, but short quick ones, the moment we talk to her, she was all smiles again.

Even my husband fell in love with her. And it was such a warm fizzly sight when I see my husband cooing baby M, and when he carried her, I was all over the world. Such a warm lovely feeling in my heart.

I am looking forward to another weekend to mother Baby M. Until then, we will all be missing you!

In due respect to her mother, none of her pictures will be published unless permission is granted.

And oh! JMYc is at Bazaar Geylang, you all!

Lots of love,
Wassaalam,

Re-occurence of Chicken Pox

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends and readers,

Yeah, today I'll write about re-occurence of chicken pox. How many of you thought you won't get chicken pox because you've got it once or because you've got the vaccination jab? Well I did.

And boy, I was dead wrong.. I greeting one morning with one huge, no, humongous pimple on my right shoulder that somehow burst and left me an open wound. A few days later, a few more appeared on my left forehead. They are not the typical pimple I get, not even when it is from the mild allergy I have from nuts. I got worried, when I keep discovering new "pimples" every morning, and so I decided to visit the doctor, despite it being midnight. The doctor couldn't verify but gave me an MC and I was to return if more appeared.

By this time I had about 10-15 "pimples" all over me. When I discovered two new ones the next morning, I decided I had to go to the polyclinic. I was escorted into a room and was asked to wait. About 15 minutes later, the doctor came in and asked me about the "pimples".

I showed him a couple on my face and hands, he looked at them, touched them, and said, "These are very suggestive that it is indeed Chicken Pox"

He then asked a couple more questions, about the first time I had one, which clinic diagnosed it, and all the necessary. And so I told him I had one full blown chicken pox when I was 16+ some 14 years ago or so.. I revealed the clinic.

Then he said, "Actually chicken pox can/will reoccur to 40% of the people. What you experience is a mild outbreak because you had partial immunity, in the sense that your body was partially immune and some portion isn't. Thus the slow and lesser breakout as compared to the first time you got it. For those who have had vaccination, less than 40% of those people will get it, and if they do, it will be like what you are experiencing now."

After a few more questions, he confirmed his diagnosis and said it is indeed chicken pox and gave me 12 days MC with calamine lotion. I was escorted me to pay up, and out of the polyclinic after the pharmacy lady came in with my medicine.

That was my shortest ever visit/stay at the polyclinic. I informed my bosses, and they was no reply. Too upset I guess, because I had a tonne load of work to do last week. I felt bad, but what can I do?

The days at home went by too fast. I couldnt believe I had actually stayed home for 3 days excl today! 3 days, just like that...

I felt crappy, really... I don't know what to expect when I return to work next week... 8 more days of home stay...

Think like a boss? I'd probably have to get a replacement considering the tonne load of outstanding work left by me. However, I'd consider terminating for the training of new staff always dreads me, then again, my boss don't train me, my director does. SO I don't know.

If I am the boss, I would rather I resigned on my own accord.

Then it was me, how do I cope without a job? Yes, I have been applying for openings, and that is because I badly wanted a job switch, but I have no intention of leaving without having a job to jump into straight away. So... I don't know.

I mean yea, I have a business to run, and that might work, but I dunno.. I just like the challenge of having to work and juggle my business at the same time. I like the pressure and push I get having to accomplish two different set of goals simultaneously.

Besides, my salary is the sole source of my capital that has continuously been invested into my business to grow, so should I ever decide to quit for my business, I have to have some investors first.

So, would you like to invest in my business? I am participating in the Geylang Bazaar, and I will be working on my proposals to enter the retail store next year.. That would require a lots of assets.

If you are keen to invest, with 5-6% interest returns in 12months, do drop me an email, maybe?

You may also want to look into my website too.

It'd be of great help if I can quit my day job and work more into growing my business. I need an office space to conduct my crochet training and storage space, afterall. :)

With much love, I end this entry.

Wassalam,

Trained, Training and on training

Last week was full of trainings, I must say.

I taught someone basic crochet skills, then the following week, I was trained to specialize in 3 business course under Leza Parker Network (LPN) as one of their business consultants, and another 5 next week. Maybe it might spread another week.

I can't wait to officially be certified so I can share and train others the little traits of being an entrepreneur. Soon, I will be able to distribute $100 vouchers under my name, and train fellow start ups. I am excited!

And personally amongst the three courses that was taught, I loved "Business Planning" the most. I feel that all budding entrepreneurs and start-ups should invest in this course. It is very essential to have a business plan for your great ideas to grow.

Yes, taught by Leza herself!

Imparted down to us, future business consultants, down to you!

I always look forward to meeting Leza, because she is always willing to share with me tips whenever I face some enterprenual bumps. She would openly answer my very confidential questions, and the best part about her answer is that it is sometimes very simple, one liner, sometimes one word answers. It leaves me thinking and working more than before.

I hope to continue her legacy to inspire and to kick start budding entrepreneurs to start thinking and working towards their awesome ideas without boundaries. To know that they are not alone, and that their idea is great and that it will only grow bigger and better.

I will definitely be updating once I am qualified to train you all to my very best, and I will be excitingly looking forward!

Love,
Me
The future Business Consultant under LPN!
