Work-Life Balance


As I have mentioned in my previous post, we are constantly amazed by the outstanding physical developments of baby J. At 7 months, he's already starting to walk with a push walker, climbing up on sofas and also crawling very well on all surfaces. He's such a delight to watch and definitely brings a lot of joy to our family.

We have just celebrated mum's 69th birthday with a karaoke session at K Box in Kallang Leisurepark. She looked like she had enjoyed herself with all of us and her closest brother and niece around. Everybody sang along to some very retro songs and had lots of laughs when someone couldn't hit the high notes very well. It's a pity D doesn't sing but he enjoyed the buffet dinner, feasting on salmon sashimi until he got sick.

On work, I have been made really busy with the floods in Thailand destroying the company's factory and logistics hub in Navanakorn Industrial District. Just 2 weeks ago when I went there to help evacuate the warehouse, everything looked fine but we are in filthy waters of up to 2 metres since 19th Oct and the waters have not receded at all. All of the Thailand's warehouse stocks have been moved to Singapore and technically, we are operating 2 warehouses within our premise in Singapore. Space and manpower are 2 of the main constrains that we are having and not to mention the "ingenious" support we are getting from HQ...I am still struggling to get things organized 2 weeks in and I hope that by next week, everything can become smooth.

Hubby is is frustrated with his work just 1 month into his new job. Not so much the work actually but the people that are playing some political tricks that are making him really sick. He is on the verge of quitting...and getting really depressed. I am worried for his mental and physical health...he needs to be able to vent out his frustrations somewhere...maybe bowling will help? Or feasting? It will be N's sweet 16 birthday next week and we have another good reason to go feasting again!
