Are You Happy?

During my appraisal, my boss asked me if I am happy with my work. He felt that I lacked the zeal I used to have.

1. I come in at 9:30AM instead of 8:30AM.
2. I am not as patient with my users as I used to.

At the start of the year, I told myself that I will change but the thing is, it's still pending. Could it be that I am really not happy? When will I find job satisfaction?

hi salme. i was in a semi-same situation back there in sing. the difference is that i didn't lose the zeal to perform at work but i was always 'unhappy' being at work while leaving my baby with the yaya's care.

it was quite a long battle in my head, ie to quit or not to. thankfully, i am at peace now where i am.

just pray for guidance and let Him take you where He wants you to be.
don't be afraid to make a change.

take care.

i think we can always choose and decide to be happy. but being career women and working moms, i really feel for you. whatever it is that we decide, God will always be with us. =)

i say amen to the 2 comments given to you. You have a choice, but yet, remember always, one can never get all that he/she wants in life. You can be happy at home, being a stay home mom, but remember what sacrifices you have to tackle financially. So it's your priority. Others sacrifice $$ for the security of being a stay home mom. Learn to be content is the key, as aspostle Paul wrote in Phil 4:11-12. Whether in need or in abundance, be content. try to practice changing your mind frame, and find joy in whatever you do, no matter how hard it may be. I read "one cannot live a psitive life if one has a negative mind." ponder on it...and be thanksful in all circumstances.

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)

Math Matters

Dawter T called me up and excitedly told me that she's the highest in Math for term 1. So, I thought it was for their exam in Ordinal numbers. "Mommy, Mrs. T said, I am the highest in my tests and in my worksheets. I am 100 %!" Ok, ok, it's our first year in Primary so I am still a bit confused with the grading system. Then, she said, my English is good, but it's not like Math! That got me more confused! But still, I owe her a trip to Night Safari! Hehehe. *** I got home and found Dawter T's assessment folder. And lo and behold, it's true! I am very proud of my chicka! Hehehe (And Pre was even more than proud, for him, only Math matters hahaha)

Sunday Afternoon

We've had an adventure this afternoon. We ate at Pizza Hut and was very disappointed that they forgot to bring out our pizza. It should have come sooner but they made a mistake of bringing out thin crust instead of pizza hut. Pre had to ask the crew about it and only then did they informed us that the pizza was still 5 minutes away, and they were giving us some fried chicken for our wait. I mean, hello? We've waited a long time and it was not our fault and you only thought of the chicken after my husband marched in to your area to ask! We're not difficult customers. We're just hungry hehehe... Bad thing turned to good. The manager was Filipina and after Pre told her about our case, she said that Pizza Hut decided that we don't need to pay for what they have served. Fair enough. But, I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon. So sad. To cap our day, took some photos of the girls. Ate too conscious of her teeth. Bebi A, loving her yellow balloon.
