Really been quite long again since i last updated.
SIGH. Been more downs than ups - mostly in the work area.
I know i need to just TAKE THAT FIRST STEP. But I dunno what's stopping me. Seriously. WHAT? Confirm there wont be bonus this year one.
i should have the savings to cover me.
And I wanna start something on my own.
I dont wanna work under anyone anymore. Not now. Maybe after next year Aug? I wanna be there for Manfred whenever he wants me to. I grew up in such environment, and I hope my children can enjoy such a privilege too. Its so stressful to even take a MC when Im sick. Boss has been really unhappy about me taking leave. He said he understands, coz Im a mother and sometimes I need to take off to take care of my boy's issues. But it doesnt seem so. Can see that he is really unhappy about it. Especially that one week of urgent week. Boss said Im not doing enough to bring in more sales. But looking at my team - it just makes me doubly no mood to being in new sales. Not positive nor supportive. Just a lot of complains, a lot of questions. :(
I need to start something. But what is good?
I wanted to go into property, but all the insiders told me its really a bad time to enter. COV is dropping. Noone sells.
Then I wanna start an online shop. But what? Everything is so competitive. I need something really SPECIAL, and UNIQUE that cant be found just anywhere.
MOMO game card? To revive it?
I need an idea. Just an idea. To ignite things.
Someone just give me some ideas.

Hello, small m. @ 6 weeks.
Hi baby, how are you?
Sorry that Mummy kept thinking of the negative these couple of weeks. I guess it wont be the same when Mummy was having your big brother. It was more relaxing for me. But now, I have your big brother to attend to, and our home to up-keep. Luckily daddy was helpful it he chores too.
There was this night when mummy was super depressed. And so I decided to tell sugaraunt the next day. I know she will be with us along this journey. :)
And Im determined that you deserve a HAPPY MUMMY, and not a worrying mummy. I will be happy and positive. Small m, you have to jiayou too ok? So far so good..erm, not too bad. Feeling really nauseous esp with an empty stomach, but last time kor kor also like that.
Im so excited to know whether you are a boy or girl. ;P But irregardless, u know i still love u! Same same with korkor. Kor kor getting very naughty nowadays. But i guess that is part and parcel of growing up. :) Kor kor knows how to say Daddy, and Yeye... and started to walk really fast and far recently. Fantastic!
And pls take those yucky pills!!!! Mummy hate it, but how? Its good for you. So WE WILL HAVE IT TOGETHER!!!
*Spartan face*
ROAR
jiayou love.

A stay at home mother, I've always wanted to be.
And when i read this article, alot of thoughts flooded in...
http://m.todayonline.com/commentary/why-my-wife-stay-home-mum
Since I was young, I had the dreams to get married and have my own kids, I've always had this illusion to be at home, taking care of my kids, and bringing them to school, cooking for them and the hubby, do house chores... just like what my mum did. I was brought up in this type of environment where my mum was a housewife, taking care of our every needs. My dad owns a small business, steady income, so there's not much to worry in terms of financial wise.
As I grew up, knew and accepted the living standards in my homeland, I started to realise that my dreams of being a stay-home-mum is going away.
I still have to go work, at least to earn for my money, to buy the things that I want and need, to fork out a bit for the family expense, and majority goes to Manfred's toys. But having kids stop me from moving upwards in my career. I don't want to be a career woman, those who work day to night, night to day, and have to travel regionally, or night entertainments every day, every week. Yes, they could earn alot. They could earn themselves expensive cars, big houses, branded clothes, but emptiness in the heart. How much quality time do they have for their kids? How much time can they afford to listen to their kids?
Yes, I have no dreams to earn the sky. So long as what I am earning is comfortable for me to be able to buy my stuff, and the hubby has no big burden to pay for my expenses or the family's expenses. So long as I can still have some time for Manfred everyday. Sometimes I feel guilty when I reach home late, and I didn't have any time with him. I so look forward to see those cheeky and happy smiles and laughters from him, after work. Nothing else can come any closer.
Recently, I bought a 42cm tall minion toy doll for him and he was like having so much fun wrestling with it and we really had good laughs over that. Last night when I reached home, I asked for a big hug, and he dashed across to hug minion. So cute and cheeky can! And then we played catching with hubby piggy-backing him. We ran in and out of the rooms, and the boy was laughing so so hard. Then it just double assured me that, its not about how big the house you're living in, it's the laughters and fun the family enjoys in a cozy (small) space we call home. I'm always not very concern about how big or small our house is. But in years to come, when the hubby progresses in his career, and sees his friends/colleagues staying in private property, just worried that he can't resist the temptation. Or like, its a "face-thing"? *shrug*. I always believe Every families have a story to tell, and so you can't judge by the cover.
Coming back to the topic, I'm working towards the aim to be a work-at-home mum. So, I can still earn my share of income, and have MORE time with Manfred, and to do the house chores. Meaning, I still need manfred at the babysitter's, while I need some concentration to work from home. After I'm done with work, chores and cooked dinner, I can bring Manfred back early. I can still teach him homework, he can still eat home cooked dinner. How nice would that be. No big income, just enough for me to spend (comfortably) and save up for rainy days.
That's why I'm being active in my blog again, this being the first step.
I don't have any concrete solid plans yet. But still working on it. Any mummies working from home, have any tips to share? I really really need some of those tips.
Everything is dispensable, except Family. It's always the number one in my list, especially my kids. Don't expect anything in return from the kids, and you'll enjoy parenting as much as You should. :)
If i were to start a shop, what should it be selling?
If I were to provide a service, what would it be?
If I were to....
I need help. sos.

Another milestone! Manfred taking his first steps (14 months)!
I am so proud of you, baby. I can't wait for the day when you and daddy can play soccer/basketball together. Or simply, just taking a stroll at the seaside. :)
Review on Motorola Digital Monitor - MBP11
I must say, this monitor is a good buy. There are 2 machines (obviously!) One is with baby, the other with mummy. I can carry mine around the house while Manfred is alone in his room sleeping, or sometimes, just playing with himself. Nomore paranoid moments if I hear some children cry/make noise. All I have to do is to check whether the lights are blinking, and of course obviously his cries will be projected from my set. I can do my chores without running to his room to check on him every 5-10min. The sound is crystal clear. Sometimes when Im playing some lullaby music in his room, the tune will be picked up and I can hear it on my set, but when it senses that that is some "background" music, it will "relax and chill" until a new sound is picked up. Very smart, right? You can adjust the volume, up to you how loud do you wanna hear your baby. :)
Manfred is now sleeping alone in his room, so this thing is super useful at night. It picks up the slightest sound, and it will wake me up to check on the "woken-up" boy. Without this machine, I won't be able to throw him to sleep himself.
Do take note that it's a one-way communication. Sound is picked up by baby set, and transmitted to mummy set. But mummy set won't be able to transmit any sound to baby. (so don't expect to "hello, hello, dinner is ready, pls be ready at dining table in 5!" and get a reply, "wait, mum, i'm in the midst of my game.) Would not be happening. But Ok wad, I dont need the sleeping baby to "hear" what I'm doing. :)
Got this "toy" at a local online store at SGD$79 (GSS promo).
As you can see from the pic, I carry it around with me, hanging on my shorts.
Rate: 5/5 I seriously can't think of any cons.
