Next Month

I'm so looking forward to next month, because I'll be working part-time! Last month I was on MC, yet again, sigh! Upon checking the dates, I realized that during my six months of working in that department, I'd fallen ill four times. Quite a record, I'm sure. Are my colleagues dubbing me "MC Queen" behind my back? Not that I cared, I was genuinely unwell.

Anyway, my dear sweet husband, William, being concerned for my health, told me to switch jobs. I agreed quite readily. If he'd said that three months earlier I would have disputed his suggestion, but even I got sick of getting sick so often. By now, a new work environment sounds very welcoming, although I'm one who usually resist having too much changes around me.

When my Nursing Officer received my resignation letter, she counter-offered me a part-time post instead. Great, that was my intention initially, when I first came for a job interview, I wanted to start as a part-timer. Not knowing that only months later would my wish materialize, wahahaha......!

My son, Joseph is making progress in his speech. He definitely has increased vocabulary and is more responsive in his replies by using less body language like tugging, etc. Praise Jesus, I look forward to hearing full sentences from him. Why I'm so thrilled about working part-time is because I can have more time to prepare teaching materials to help Joseph speak more.

Speaking of "speak", I was surprised by MM Lee's outspoken comments recently published. He said in no uncertain terms that Malaysia is treating non-malays unfairly. He also criticized Myammar's governing system (or non-existent system, I should say) and called those who are in power "stupid". He described General Than Shwe's daughter as "looking like a christmas tree", for adorning herself extravagantly with too much diamonds on her wedding day. A quick check on YouTube revealed that it was quite true, flaunting all those diamonds while their impoverished people struggled to put food on their table could only lead to one thing - protest.

On a more cheerful note, Singapore is bidding to host the Youth Olympics on our sunny island, set in the sea! I hope we get to have that slice of action here, as Youth Olympics is on a small enough scale for our little country to be able to meet the set requirements. All the way, we want win, we want win!
