What more can I say?
His strength is my weakness. I thank God for him. If not for him, I am not able to carry through.

Back in Singapore after 2 weekends!
I really missed home thought i am busy and Bali is just few hours flight from Singapore.
There are many things that happened during the conference. Miscommunication and thoughts to be shared, well, things like this happened all the time. But at the end of it, sweetness that conference is finally over.
The magical Bali, people there are friendly and humble. Cost of living is much lower. When we go shopping, we usually budget from 90% - 50%. After loading the shopping stuff, when we looked back, it's only a few cents for so much budgeting which at times is silly. Temperature is hotter than Singapore, surrounded by sea at Conrad where we stayed, there are mosy.. bitting new blood, by 3rd day, I no longer experienced the bites since I am old blood. haha.. Worst was it rained heavily when I was having a off day on Wed. And according to my colleague, we engaged 'rainmover' - the local praying for the grey clouds to move away from our outlook activities location, it's amazing but accurate. But to think of it, if they can pray for such things, what else can happened when there is money to buy some other prayers?
And when I am there, there is a hind feeling that I have to be careful of my camera. I actually downloaded some old pixs on the 2nd day of the trip to my thumbdrive, well, yes, I lost my precious camera last Thursday. Sob Sob.. I think either I drop it while shopping or it is pickpocket. When I told Hubby, he told me never mind, we can buy another more pro camera. Nothing makes him upset most of the time.
Back at home, I am received by Hubby with a bouquet of beautiful orchids. Back to the lion city.. We celebrated our 10 years of togetherness and 1st year wedding anniversary last evening. He arranged for pre-book dinner which he was upset when the restaurant forgotten about our order. When I was exhausted from the trip and just wanna leave the dinner venue. Before heading home, Hubby presented me when a montage of our courtship and countries we went to, vows taken a year ago. Sweet of him - he learned the program when I was away. This is in return of the wedding montage I also learned to do for our wedding.
In short, I am happy to be filled and embraced by the love I have in Singapore and yes, so glad to be home!! :)

Getting to work later these days.
No motivation. But goes on every day.
I used to look back if I have not left my last job but again, maybe I would have been axed as there was a big retrenchment taking place twice which I cant imagine. So, the move was right? Been 5months in my current job, lotsa new things to learn everything and I am still learning.
I am unsure if I really wanna stay in this line but currently, I would like to have some personal time and family time which I missed.
Something riggers me today learning life is so short. We need to treasure. Some reflection to be done.
Sigh. What am I now? Useless or am I making up excuses again?
God, I need some answers.

Today, we have finally signed up with an ID.
It was finalised as we cant afford to wait for contractor to do up the place one by one. I will be away for biz trip for 11 days and by the time I come back to iron the issues, reno starts and ends at end of Apr and Hub is away for his 1-mth attachment.
It's scary worrying the blowing budget but we cant be sitting on the house. I will be either away, at conferences or assignments and studies.
So, in end... But Hub really have to practise his negotiation skills. Today, his friend and I see him chopping just a carrot by the designer. Sigh. I thought I should not interrupt, but high time to have the chance to sign him up for any negotiation skills.
Be away by end of the week, lotsa things undone. Not sure if Hubby will do any thing stupid. Last time, I was away in Korea less than a week and he actually spend a bomb on that crazy sound system (which I realised that it can be settle for 50% of my house reno). It was also explosive for me to take it.. Helping him on installation. Crazy man.. if never done that I have more budget for my house.. Anyway, I think friends will help me to watch over him and nag at him for buying silly things.
But not sure why, my heart is unsettled. May be stressed..

Terrible weeks had passed by which I hope things improved.
A lot of counter projects coordination, plus reports at work. New school term has started and lessons as well as assignments came in non-stop.
Been busy and physically tired. Back home, I got no time to wash to laundry not to mention ironing. Sometimes, staying IL is tough cause it is never like staying with own parents. Sob:( I have a house now but I cant move in too. No time to source for contractor and realised that the budget is getting smaller. Recently Hubby's car has a overhaul which cost 1k plus and all the road tax, insurance is due soon. We wanted to trade and buy a new car but because of previous overdraft, we need to pay another 4-5k which is ridiculous! I think I better settle my house reno first.
Sigh, another 2 weeks I will be overseas for 10 days. And another big conference coming after the trip. It's madness and getting crazy.
I am so upset last Friday when my colleague said she has not time and tired working and complained non-stop. And push for a long delayed report that I have to generate. Who's not tired? I am a worker, wife, student, maid, DIL and I got my new house to work on and loads of assignment. I really need a break and rest but I cant apply for leave with this critical period.
Pray that I can substain. Which I doubt if any more bombs drop on me... I will.. .
God bless then..
