8th & 9th Week of 2018

Assalammu'alaikum family, friends, readers and followers of this blog. Writing 2 weeks once is pretty challenging in its own way, and tougher when I am no longer working in the office! So here's a little entry for 27th Feb through 12th March 2018.

As mentioned in my previous entry... I arrived closer to my last day of work, my bossed planned out a farewell lunch at a fancy place at Teluk Ayer. I was nervous towards the end of lunch, and as they started asking about my next step, what company I am joining and what industry, I get terribly nervous, so I handed out my farewell gift. That got them occupied till it is time to head back to the office.

Colleagues bugged me to tell, so I told them. And they all wished me well. I am sure to miss them when I am no longer there! I drafted my last email to each of them wishing them all the best and all, in a hurry I must have forgotten to change some names.

My last day was rather like a drift in the wind. Awkward goodbyes.. And as soon as one of my favourite boy came back in the office, he took out a huge envelope and said his last wishes, the farewell card from everyone. My heart swelled. Boy I am so blessed to be in this company. I felt so heavy and all so excused myself to leave early grabbing all I can into my bag and just like that, I left. 5 years and 5 months. I know for sure I wont get a better boss than I had now. No better colleagues who minded their own personal businesses and keep it casual. I will miss them, but I needed to get out and live the life I wanted, to pursue a field and industry I had always wanted.

It has been 2 weeks, yes, I havent written in the interim. It didnt hit me that I am unemployed, right to date... Maybe because I kept myself very busy. It helps that I have a side business that needs to keep running... 1st March I altered a laptop sleeve for one of my customer who is my niece's cousin. I then picked Baby M up. The next day I had a counselling with my husband and we decided to proceed with what needed to get done.

That weekend we visited my in laws. And on 5th I attempted to be productive, but I ended up just sitting back watching Netflix and did nothing much other than just that. 6th & 7th March was my trial time at HF. I had a good time really and was looking forward to a more concrete agreement.

9th March I accompanied my mom for her therapy, head home cook, and pick Baby M for her assessment at NUS. Interesting really. All is positive good, alhamdulillah.

11th March we went to Stadium to participate in the STEPS challenge, too bad I left my phone at home, so I could only walk around and watch husband get busy. Heh.

12th March, my last follow up on my lungs, Dr was pleased with my progress and weight gain, so she discharge me with an open date with many well wishes.

Oh did I mention, Baby M was with me from 7th March right till 15th! Yeah! She had fun, didnt miss school! Yeay!

So ya that's all that had happend in the last two weeks! May I keep up writing this for the many weeks to come! :p

Till the next entry!
