2 choose 1

Having this headache of 2 to choose 1. In the end I chose the one that have 100 more. Although I prefer the 100 less but think reality is more important than comfortability. Hope this will be a good choice. Seem like I need to spend on the GSS as I need new shirts and pants. Think my wife will be more happy than me as she like me to be in shirt and pants. Let's see next month what will happen next.

First Appointment

Went to see Dr Sim today. Dr Sim was referred to us by Jerlyn's friend, heard that she is very good so we decided to go visit her. We woke up early today as we do not have an appointment, so we have to go there early for walk in appointment. There were many people when we reach there, we waited for quite some time and when we went in to Dr Sim's room, she was unable to see clearly as Jerlyn's bladder was not full, so Jerlyn was asked to keep drinking more water. She drank almost 3 bottles of 500ml of water before we finally see Dr Sim again for the third time, we were able to see yolk sac as they call it. We were so excited thou we were there for almost two hours. After finish with the blood test, we leave for square 2 to buy microwave and then meet Jerlyn's parents and brother at HDB hub to get their new house keys.

Waiting for the second appointment to come in 4 weeks time.

e2i course

Went to a course call executive workshop last Wednesday and Thursday. It was recommended by my classmate when he knows about my situation. So Tuesday I went down and see and got myself enrolled in this course which is free. It teaches me how to write a powerful cover letter and resume and also interview tips. I felt that I have improve a lot this two days.

I also heard from my wife that there might be good news coming. Both of us was having mixed feeling. For me in this situation now, I need to be even more positive now. I know I can but luck do plays a part too. So I set myself a target that is two months. Wish me luck.

Jerlyn's Birthday

Sunday was my wife's birthday. We went to have massage and facial on that day. The massage was normal for me and the facial was a bit painful for me. Massage was normal as compared to traditional Thai massage, it did not have the comfortable level there and was much more expensive than the Thai massage. Though it would be cheaper to do it in Singapore as compare to flying to Thailand to do massage. The facial was painful as I had not been doing facial for few years, so the black heads and the pores had been accumulated for many years. After the massage and facial we went to Plaza Singapura to eat our lunch. We went to Manhattan Fish Market to eat. We had not been there since I went to America 4 years ago. We wanted to watch movies that day but it was simply too crowded for the movie we wanted to watch so instead we went home. Jerlyn still managed to get a nap before her parents brought us out for dinner. As we were too full from the lunch, we had simple dishes for dinner. I wanted to get the Starbucks cake for her but she was too full so we ended our day early.

A new start

Yesterday I finally ended my 10 years and 11 months of my career since going for my national service. these years of military service has let me go through a lot of things and saw many things that I have never thought of. Throughout the years, I went to United States for 2 years, 1 year as single and 1 year as married. It let me learn to be independant living over there and also learning to love and care for my wife too. I also went to Canada twice, Thailand twice, Indonesia once and Australia once for detachment and exhibition too. I also went through my love life and let me found my love and got settle down. I also started studying again. So now it will be another step as in finding a job.
Yesterday was really a mixed feeling for me. I was feeling happy that I leaving this organisation but also feeling sad leaving this group of colleagues whom I have good relationship with. I also feel worried about the future too. My new department which I had been there for about 8 months gave me a token of appreication of a coin and also my FWO bought pizza to celebrate me and my OIC farewell. But there was nothing from my previous department where I worked for at least 6 years over there. Maybe that is why I felt that leaving there was a better choice. But I will still miss the people there. Now it is time for the future and the challenge ahead. Hope I can get a new job soon.
