Started work!

It's been nearly a month since I blogged! So much to say, so much has happened. So where should I start?
Work has been such a joy, I'm attached to a very lovely, cute indonesian. Kinda thought she was a filipino at first because of her unusual surname. Hee. My table is huge & the office's rather comfortable and nice. The pantry has a cool coffee/hot drinks dispenser and I love drinking my morning coffee at work. I start at 0830 and end work at 1230, and everyone usually comes in at 9 to 9 plus so I get a little time to myself which is cool because I'm not a morning person. Haha. And everyone leaves for lunch at about 11plus to 12 so actually I'm left alone alot, so there's the flexibility. Of course, I try not to abuse it, because I want to keep this job...=) I'm kept quite busy so I don't go checking the time which is good because I hate being idle at work. It's so hard to pass time if so! My colleagues are all females and my department seems to be the only department who chats and jokes. I really like my colleagues and my direct superior who's also very nice and accommodating to the fact that I have a gal to rush home to. I was supposed to work full days during the last week but so far I have not, as I managed to finish what I needed to do, and I guess I'm still too new to be of further help. Heh heh. But I'm glad because I was really quite stressed thinking about how stressed mom would be, at home with Kate. Haha. I really love feeling productive and of help!


And working has also helped me to be more productive at home too. Since I feel guilty bout leaving Kate to mom in the mornings, I am trying to help out more at home. I gotta come up with a schedule so as to manage my time better.


Sigh...I took a nap with Kate earlier, and woke up feeling so nice. Went downstairs and just felt like everything was nice, with the setting sun casting beautiful shadows everywhere. Was also reminded of Bunbury and Perth and my in-laws. I really miss chilling with them in their backyard, (or is it considered the front??) and I miss Australia.


And one last thing before I go do some housework! I found the ideal pre-school for Kate! Its really near, the place's lovely, they provide home-made snacks and it's inexpensive! The curriculum seems great, alot of hands on stuff for them to do and there's outdoor playtime too! Kate's godma approved of it which meant a lot to me since she works in this line and she has kindly explained to me what was important to look out for in a pre-school. In fact, she came along with me last friday to visit a few pre-schools on her leave. The best part of the pre-school is I don't have to worry about kindergardens and all too, since they have pre-nursery to K2. The only drawback is that Kate can only start pre-nursery at 30 months, which is July(June holidays) so mom has to endure til then. That gave me a lot of stress initially (long story) but it has all worked out since and I am so glad. And hopefully I don't have to stay the entire closing week, maybe just a day or two. =)
