Work this week is not too bad even though my to-do list keeps adding and never seemed to be strike off. After few catch up with friends and reading some posts on Facebook, few thoughts running on my mind this week.
1) you may need to sacrifice your personal dream for your child because your child only grows in one direction ie once you miss one of their milestone,you will miss that forever. No turning back, just one way! You may still catch up with your dream when you have more flexibility later. Key words to note - 'may', 'sacrifice', 'forever','catch up' and 'flexibility'
2) treasure what you have now as it may be taken away tomorrow.
3) Learn to empathise, especially if someone is far away from their family.
4) Before you mistreat someone, take 2 seconds to ask yourself, would you like to be treated the same way? $$ or status or nationality do not give you any privilege to mis treat anyone.
5) Always have enough sleep so you can be productive the next day.

Full time auditor,part time mom
It is more than 6 months now since I returned to work force. How does it feel and what is the different? So different and so challenging.
I have been so busy since mid July and haven't had much time to do anything for myself. I am a full time auditor and a part time mom! Work is demanding a lot because of change in scope and my job functions. At home it is also different now as I need to contribute my part to the household as a wife and a mother of a 15 months old kid. I must say there are times when I miss just staying home just like during my maternity leave days. I know for the last 2-3 months I have put too much focus in work and 'neglected' and leave all house chores to Anthony. I am really glad that he is quite domesticalise- able to cook,clean and take care of Andrew. Thanks Dear
Work has been crazy and it make me begin to think whether do i really enjoy what i am doing and do i still really like audit??? Or more importantly am I still fit to do audit. This doubt has been running in my mind and this is driving me crazy because I am always clear of what I want. I also begin to think of the 'what if' scenarios (which i seldom do because i viewed that 'what if' often creates self frustration).If Anthony and I never move to Aussie land,would our life be different?would we get less/more than what we have now? I don't know what else to write so I am going to leave this open till I find an answer in my next entry.
Bottomline, I am tired and having self conflict/doubt. Need to find some lights at the end of the tunnel...
