Making Choices

My heart often goes out to the foreign maids who have to leave their kids behind back home and work in a foreign land. It must be the most heartbreaking decision they ever have to make.

What would really drives a mother to leave behind her own beloved children and venture out to somewhere new? Poverty? For a better life?

Now, here I am, feeling a little like the foreign maid, albeit a very old one (but still struggling to stay young!)

I have reached that point in life (at least my working life) where I either stay where I am and play dead or DROP dead. There seem to be no chance of ever reaching for another star. Moreover, there ain't not many stars out here anymore. It is stifling, demoralising, and damn depressing!

So, if a big bright star comes abading from afar, it is certainly real tempting, isn't it? It is also a real ego-booster!

Trouble is, this comes at a very high price! To reach for this star, sacrifices have to be made. Maybe, to romantice this a little, it feels more like "Chang Er" leaving behind her precious earthlings to reach for the moon!

So how, how how??? Only God Knows!

Aiyah, I think I ll be an ostrich for a while and leave things to take its natural course.

New Home, New Job, New......

It's been quite a nightmarish month in March.

First, I have to settle the reno of the new house which didn't go as well as planned.

By the time I gave up my apt and moved out, my new place was still not ready, ARRGGGHHH!!!

Imagine moving into an unfinished house full of debris, dust, sweaty workers.....where do I stand??? Thinking back, it's really a wonder I didn't go bonkers. My hormones must be hibernating then!

Anyway, it's all cool now!


Coming to the topic of my new job - I still have no idea where I stand. What a surprise!
Honestly, it's a real DRAMATIC CHANGE and I really mean it. After more than 5 years working with something as deep as your skin with all the fancy creams, colours and scents, now I have to get myself used to all the "Sir" here and there, WOW!

The structure here is really "fun" and all the folks here seems to thrive on all kinds of meetings. They just luv talking and talkng and talking. I just don't understand how things really get done here. Half the time, I don't even know what I am expected to do? Sigh...... (Now, you know why I have the time to write this blog).

Well, well, let's see if things will get better......
