□Walking up to no alarms on Weekdays (but not for weekends 😕)
□Having breakfast
□Wearing shorts and T-shirt to work
Need to adjust...
■Waking up before 9am (healthier lifestyle) and taking early afternoon naps
■Have my coffee while watching some news instead of korean cooking shows
■Get more shorts and longer ones
■Cycle more to save on bus fares and time.
I was looking back at my previous posts and realised that it has been 1year since i resigned from my job in a prestigous bank. This one year has flew by without me knowing.
Afterall, i served 6 months notice and almost gotten another offer in another position within the company.
Then spent 1 month travelling - 1 wk in Indo and 3wks down under.
My dec was spent ensuring Dad is ok, going for a couple of interviews to which i gotten no offers and applying for more assignments thru agency. Yes, that desperate to be willing to teach 2 lessons for free. I still am. 😂
Now, slightly 6 months since i returned my employee pass. I am still happily unemployed or i should say strugglingly self-employed.
Many many sincere thanks to the dear friends who had many times over the last 1 year gave me treats and refuse to accept my money. I really appreciate all your kindness and i try, with my pea-sized brain to not forget these thoughtful acts. With hope that one day in the near future i can return the favour.
Hope all well ends well and most importantly, WORLD PEACE✌
Was walking home after tuition this afternoon and it was drizzling. I was hoping that water will not seep into my cheap pair of faux leather loafers. A young lady from SAS walked towards me, drenched, and she smiled. A genuine smile.
How i missed receiving smiles from strangers.
Walked Darcy at quarter to ten and a young lady, say mid to late twenties was walking towards Darcy and me. Dressed like she just returned from a long day of office work and her face confirmed my doubts. It was black, as black as the dress suit she was wearing. I hope she has a better day tomorrow, at work.
That was me, many months ago. With anger in my eyes, all ready to chew off the head of the next person who looks at me.
Im still glad of my decision. Hope this will last. Hope i will last, on receiving 40% of my last drawn.
-The little things in life-
It is almost 4mths since i was last employed.
Apart frm spending a week in Indonesia, 3 weeks in Australia, i had been spending a lot of time with my parents and Darcy.
Dad hasnt make much noise about me not working yet and mum has been showing more and more concern lately.
Am i ready to step back into the workforce? And the doubt of will anyone wants me?
Am i suited for the life of a self-employed? And the ability to increase my portfolio?
The monthly paycheck is very tempting but so is the time for myself, my parents and Darcy.
Honestly, i am glad that i am able to spend more time with pa&ma especially during this period where its good to have someone at home. But sometimes the restrictions i set on my expenses are kinda killing me. I want to be able to pay for their taxi rides, nice meals, better quality health products without thinking twice on the price. Its hard. I feel like im back to the UBS days, even then i had more money to play with and things werent so expensive back then.
Trying to tell myself that tmr will be better. Yah right, when im not doing anything today, how will tmr be better?
