Ok, this is going to be a long one...
Till this day, I can't believe that I made the BIG move to leave the workforce in Sep 2006 (for good? I don't know at this point in time). Since I returned from overseas studies, I have worked hard for the past 11 years. I also can't believe that I quit my job because of family, particularly, my princess - Kyrene. Before I embark on the next part of the journey of my life, I took a break first in Oct - went to Perth to visit my dear friend and her newborn baby girl, Karis.
Got to admit that I am not used to being a stay-home mum. I was busy cleaning up the house at first, re-decorating some parts. After a month of so, boy, was I dead tired. When Kyrene is around, its always "Mummy, can you do this with me?", "Mummy, can we play toys together?", "Mummy, can we do art & craft together?", "Mummy, can you show me how to conduct this experiment?", and it goes on and on...

Oh, and not forgetting I got to cook! Johnny loves it cos finally he gets to eat home cooked food everyday.
Now, I am pretty much used to the change (except the monetary income part, I can't spend like I used to). Social life? Very little energy & time left for it. Don't be a surprise to find me turning into a yellow faced auntie soon. The thing that keeps me going is seeing Kyrene loves me so much more now.
The last Christmas & Chinese New Year period were tough times for me. Many things happened. Let's just say, it was not the best time of my life. Everyday now, I tell myself it will be better tomorrow.
Good times? Yeah, we still take our short breaks and holidays. We made several trips to Malaysia, sometimes, it is just a day drive into JB for shopping. Then, there was the 3 nites stay in Ritz Carlton Kuala Lumpur. Well, as I write, we are planning to go away this weekend : )
