After 2 full years at the current organization, I have decided to move on. Opportunity came knocking earlier this month and it didn't take me long to decide if I should tender my resignation.
The current job is actually not too bad. Well, let's say that each & every company we work for, has its pleasant & unpleasant experiences. If I was in my late 40s, I would happily stay on till I retire! But I am not. And I dont intend to be here till I retire cos I hardly have the opportunity to maximise the usage of my brains here. You may think that - wow! so nice ar .. dont really have to work! Well, its true. Its nice - but only for a while. There will come such times that makes you wonder if this is indeed what you want (albeit the easy work life here) or should you strive harder and further and maximise your potential in a new environment. I have chosen the latter. As I need to exercise my brains to the max so that I can catch up with my son's memory!!!
Not to boast but its almost free salary for me each month. And the salary is not too bad at all! I have had a few opportunities knock on my door for the past 2 years but it wasn't good enough for a move. But this one is different. And totally worth considering. And I have no hesitations.
Wish me luck in my new adventure!

Chicken Rice - $30
Do you fancy paying for a RM30 chicken rice???? Well, last year I got a shock when I first bought this for my office lunch!
I don't know if its the price that made me biased but when I tasted it for the very first time, I felt it was no better than the RM3.50 ones you get from the chinese stalls. However, after a few times savouring it, I must say it does indeed taste good.
I must highlight that this chicken rice is served by a 5 star hotel in the city centre. I usually do a take-away for office meetings and most of my guests quite like it. Some even take 2 portions in one sitting! Due to the location of my office, there are limited chinese food available in the vicinity, so the hotel's coffee house is the best choice - and the easiest too!

The Waiting Game
Every evening, hubby and I play the waiting game. Curious to know what I mean? This is no fun. Its serious stuff!
What I mean is either I have to wait for hubby to finish work or hubby has to wait for me at my office building lobby till I finish work.
You see, my boss is kinda special. He loves to talk. He calls for meeting all the time when he is in town and he can talk for hours. The rest just listens. So we have to wait until he feels like going home, only then the meeting ends. It does not matter if its 7 or 8pm, even 9 or 10pm. He is a night owl, so he wakes up (I think) really late say 12 noon and then heads to the office only around 2 or 3pm. Then his day begins.
So poor hubby has to wait & wait for me until god (*boss*) knows when and then we head to mom's place to pick up little one before we head home.
On days when boss is not in town, I will go over to hubby's place via public transport (the light-railed train) and then wait for him to finish work instead. He does not "suffer" as much in his meetings so my wait is pretty short on those days.
But I pity poor hubby ... thanks hubby for being such a understanding kind soul to me.

I'm late today!
I officially start work at 9 each morning but on most days I am in the office by 815 or 830 latest. This is because we leave the house early (before 7am) so as not to get ourselves stuck in a major traffic jam.
On most days it works fine but today was one of those nasty days. The jammed road was at least 2 or 3km long (my guess-timation) and finally we reach the bottleneck and guess what ... there was a car accident on the OTHER side of the road!
Oh my god, you Malaysian drivers!!!!! Why the hell do you have to be such a busy body!!!! Just drive on in your lane and just go where you wanted to go in the first place!!! See what you have done to other drivers on the road now? We are all late for work!

Darn Traffic!
I really feel like screwing someone in the government for not solving the darn traffic problem in the city!
Every darn morning, hubby and I have to spend 2 hrs on the road just to get to work! Of course we have to detour out of the way to drop off the little one at my mom's place .... but does 2 hours each way make any sense to any one of us?????
Maybe you would ask - why not take the train then? But hello! Obviously you have not been on one during peak hours! You might need to wait until the 5th train comes before you can step one foot in! And try the train during the evening peak hours - you might just faint from the mixed body odour from all those people in a sardine-packed train! Sound (*smell*) gross? That's life in the city!
