On top of the normal monthly executive presentation, there was a Quality Assessment done for our account.
It was painful. Sitting through presentations and meetings from 9am to 4pm. Even had to rush through lunch which I had only 30 mins.
After that?
Rushed through urgent paper works and by 4.30pm, I was out of the office to attend another presentation meeting at DBS.
After that?
I was seriously pooped out. Already so pissed with the last meeting, I sat down at Starbucks alone, whining and venting my anger to Dearest. I couldn't last another minute in the office. I needed out. Then I realise what Dearest mean whenever he too cant stand the office.
I left office not very late to spend a warming time having dinner and coffee with my family on a weekday!
Politics aside. Of course there are people who wants to prove that they are better than you. I am ok with that. Almost. But I seriously wish they wouldn't make themselves look so stupid.
I'm much better at controlling politics now with my temper more at bay. Dearest always giving me light on how to handle real tough issues.
*hugs*
Today was another heavy duty day but I was too exhausted. So I did work at a slower pace. Finally went out for lunch after a week.
But it is now becoming a norm to finish work past 9pm. People rushed throught their work at 5pm and start strolling out of the office at 5.30pm. But to me it will still be too early. Too many things will be placed in my hands.
Tried delegating the work out. Tried handing over. But it will echo back. Always.
Work I was initially assigned = 1 headcount
Teamlead left = Took over 0.5 headcount
Assigned monthly presentation = 0.8 headcount
Mathematically, I am performing work for 2.3 headcount.
I love my work. I enjoy doing them. Though I do feel sad that I am not spending enough time with the family like I used to.
Here was me this afternoon with Hui who is SOOOOO girl today which is so unlike her. Wahaha!
I told her,"Shall we go to the pig's farm?"
She asked why.
"Cos the pigs must be flying"
*Wahahaha!*
Busy at work would mean lesser times with Dearest. As much as we try to squeeze in short calls between meetings and frequent sms-es, we honestly felt a little empty over the past 3 days.
What's worse, when he is free, I am in a meeting. And when my meeting is done or there is a break, he is busy in one.
Especially when he has much more meetings than me.
At night, he will be talking on the phone and I will be dozing off. The usual conversation will be,"Baby are you asleep?"
"No..." 3 seconds later, there is heavy breathing on my side.... Wahahaha
or another scenario..
He yaks... then he says,"U know or not?"
*I quickly wake up*
"Ok ok la.. why? what's this all about anyway?"
Wahhh! I tell you I am one damn keling ok!
But Dearest knows me soooo well
"Say goodnight"
(that will always be the way he will end the conversation)
"I am not sleepy la.. I'm listening to you.. Just continue la.."
And he will be talking to the sleeping-me.
Wahahahaha
The best part?
He never got mad.
Mornings...
Dearest will call me on the way to work every morning and that would be a challenge for him.
Easy to sleep. Hard to wake up.
Dearest have been putting up a lot with me.
Especially with my insecurities. That makes the worst of me actually. There are no relationships that's all beautiful.
But our mothers are the best. Really! And they will have their own share of joy too, Insya Allah
With them, we stand stronger together.
Don't you agree honey?
I couldn't thank enough for having the 2 most important ladies standing by us.
It just means so much!!
I found out today that Dearest friends gave me a new nick
"Girlfriend Singapore"
Wahahahaha!
On the other hand, there are those who are creating hell for us right now - cos there are people who really are; its ok
For every level of hell that me and Dearest walk through together, we will reach to the next level of heaven.
Lovie,
I'm looking forward to spend every heaven with you
Life is a balance isn't it?
