I am a SAHM

11 April 2011 marks the last day of my service in NTU after good 4 years. I must admit that I have very nice and great colleagues since i joined the workforce. The first permanent job was in Pioneer Sector Road and i was working in a very small office. We are always able to leave on time without needing to work OT unless there is a big shipment from other department which requires our assistance, but only for less than 1 week in a year. Working OT with the gals is also considered a chitchat session to know more about one another. I have to leave the company a year later 'cos of the overseas posting of hubby's job. NTU is my 2nd permanent job after returning from france. Similarly, i am lucky enough to work with nice colleagues in our department. Now i am starting to miss them already!

It's about 3 weeks since i am a SAHM. Am really busier than working lor..I am working only 8hrs at work but 24hrs at home. It is really rather tiring but i am happy with looking after the small one. Her smile dissolves all the tiredness and grumblings in me. What a cutie pie, haa..

On the other hand, i do have second thoughts at times. Did i make the right choice? Definitely i love to see my daughter grow and well nurtured, and i have no qualms about that. The only thought is i do feel like a maid sometimes, there are endless things to do and it comes one after another, be it baby stuffs or household chores. It seems like eternity. Body seems to be struggling to work hard for the family and i wonder when will i drain out all my energy. Secondly, staying at home makes me like the world is only hubby, baby and me. Gosh, i feel so outcasted from the outside world. Now i know why SAHM 是伟大的!

I need some air all by myself one of these days..
