Monthly update?

I just realised that I have not updated my blog since last month. Well, I am quite good at starting something and not finishing it :)

Too many things to update but the big news is hubby has found a job at a brick company. He finally took the offer that he initially rejected, after considering it thoroughly. Today will be his first week there! It was a big adjustment for him as he likes to sleep late and this job requires him to be at the office/plant at 5.45am. I still couldn't wake up at 4.30 am even though I initially planned to wake at the same time as him and do more things in the morning (quiet time/bible reading, play Wii, have breakfast, check internet).

It was a big adjustment for me too. I now have to go to work by bus, before catching train. My boss suggested that I start early so I could leave early . I thought of the same arrangement but I wasn't sure that he would approve it. The new arrangement is a bit confusing as I need to leave early so I could go home , have dinner and sleep by 9+pm.

Talking about work, I finally told my boss that my last day would be 30 Sep, after having 4 coffee sessions with him to talk and negotiate it. It's not the final decision yet, I think. After having a talk with the recruiter yesterday, she suggested that I take another role my boss offered but negotiate for a one-week notice. The current role is not giving me the same flexibility of notice period as I need to give 1 month's notice due to the workload size and the fact that nobody in the team could cover the work.

This morning bible reading from Our Daily Bread is taken from Psalm 8 and after reading it, I remember that there is a song from my choir that is based on this Psalm. So instead of reading, I was singing the Psalm. Oh, I miss choir session back in Singapore. I just saw their video on singing a Batak song (Arbab) in Batak and Sundanese for the Independence Day 17th Aug. I miss them, the songs, the practises, the dinner after that and the friendship develops.

One of my choir friends is here in Sydney now. She's a vet and she's attending a workshop at Taronga Zoo. Currently staying at her cousin's place and she's stay with us on Sunday to Tuesday. I'm taking leave on Mon -Tue to bring her around. Oooh, so exciting! It's really good timing as I need an excuse for holiday and I miss Eklesia (name of the choir) so it will be good to catch up.

Oops, I need to get ready for work now. Coming up tomorrow.... news about our baby project and ...my PIL are coming soon (finally)!
