Today marks the last day of my "stay home mum" lifestyle (or tai tai lifestyle) after almost 6 months' break.....
The decision to resign was sparked off firstly because I wanted to spend more time with my babe to prepare her for Primary 1 next year, and also because I had to take time off to do parent volunteer work for her, and last but not least, I needed a break! Hence, I tendered my resignation in late September 2007 and after serving slightly more than 3 months' notice, I was a "free" person!
The past 6 months was indeed very fulfiling and meaningful. It was a time for family bonding, nurturing and cultivating my babe. I managed to fulfill all that needs to be done (except 1 - haha this is a secret, so cannot reveal at this moment)... and most importantly, my babe got into the school of our choice and also, she has improved from not being able to read any books, to being able to read Enid Blyton books now... what an accomplishment for both Amanda and me?!!! At the same time, I also managed to undergo Lasik surgery for both my eyes at The Lasik Surgery Clinic performed by Dr Marc Tay....
Some of the books Amanda is reading now...
So with my mission almost all accomplished, I decided to take on the offer when the headhunter approached me..... everything was kinda rush and it happened all too quickly... I met with my future employer/owner and the interview went on very well. Job presented during interview seemed exceptionally exciting with all the regional work... and within few hours I was offered the job which required me to start work a week after that!!! It was quite unbelievable for a senior role, which usually takes about 4 or 5 rounds of interviews.... nonetheless I still accepted the offer!!!
So here I am, back to the workforce again......
