ANOTHER NEW BEGINNING

1st May 2008 marks another new beginning. I will be officially transferred to HQ as admin executive. Surprised right? It happened so fast after barely a month in my current company. It’s a long story. My company has 2 sub-subsidiaries. Due to restructuring, they are going to merge as one. As they do not need so many admin due to the merger, they are going to transfer me, a newbie, to either HQ or another company. I do not know it will be a blessing in disguise. From the feedback from my not-so-long colleagues, they say HQ is better compared to the other. Fortunately, basically I do not need to move office as HQ is going to move to my floor.

During my brief one month in my current company, I did not get to be exposed much and ended up quite “free” most of the time. It can be quite stressful as you are still new yet you did not get to know more about the operation of the company. But quite demoralizing from my brief interview with the HQ manager that she mentioned she afraid the job I am going to may not be fully utilize me.

Well right now I can only adopt “wait and see” attitude.

Max now is going to be nine months old. Right now he is learning how to crawl but he is a lazy boy. He will start to fuss and cry after some time on the floor without much progress. He is also a super active boy. If there is any moment he can sit and stay still for more than 15 minutes is a blessing. Now I worry how I am going to teach and discipline him when he is much older. He is very much like his father when he is younger, bad temper and stubborn. Kids really grow up fast. In another 3 months he is going to be one year old. Gosh…. Right now a lot of people had asked me when number 2 is coming. With such an active boy I do not dare to think about it in near future. Just how many children do I really want? Basically having 2 kids, a boy and a gal is ideal. But I feel how many kids you wan has to depend on the characteristics of your kid and financial status. With the prices of kindergarten’s fees and everything from food to clothes are rising, and if you have difficulties in raising your current kid(s), do you think it is wise to try for another kid? At least that is my thinking now, even though I also feel at least two is good as they have each other for accompany when my husband and me grow old and leave this world one day…

New Job

It’s been some time since I last logon and blog. Recently I had been busy adjusting myself to my new job. I started this new job on 1st April 2008. everything was new to me, in terms of job scope and the environment. I never worked in big MNCs before and I needed some time to adjust. You really need to be independent in your job, well that was expected of you. I feel inept if I kept asking people for help. For my job I also need to cover reception duties if my colleague is away. Well my company has so many staff under its wing and each different department deals with different scope and/or projects. To even remember the names of the stuff is a daunting task. Furthermore I need to face all the big bosses in and out. Hopefully before my 3 months probation is up, I can handle stuff on my own…

For Max, he is getting bigger and naughtier. To date he has 3 teeth. But I do not know if that the reason why he is not drinking much milk nowadays. Or he simply, like me, starts to dislike milk at such a young age. Feeding him porridge is also another headache. He simply won’t sit still. After a few mouths he wants to move about. You have to chase after him and coax him to eat. Sometimes I am so busy and tired from my work, house chores and taking care of Max, I wonder do I make the right choice of getting married and having child so soon. But sometimes when Max is smiling or interact with me, its makes me forget my frustration.
