More Fear sets in... ...

Dunno if it is because i am older now or because I have more commitments now. The recent economic turmoil is certainly not making me feel at ease.

Did I lose my confidence? Or is the situation really bad? At times, while resting or listening to news update about the pessimistic market, I will have thoughts about what should I do if I am retrenched? Will I be able to find a job?

Retrenchments sounds very distant to me long time ago. Maybe because I always thought the seniors or those who are earning more will be more affected. Or that I have more youth to bet on.

But now that with the retrenching in many MNCs, I fear for my future in my current small company. Especially with the government leading pay cuts and reducing bonus, I am more and more skeptical on how this small company can cope.

I have a close gal friend who is making her another career move. I am really happy for her admist the dark clouds looming, she is still of market value and really popular with the employers. What about me? Do I have such talent?

Joy is a little not joyful today. Probably thinking too much. But at least I am preparing myself. Maybe I should start to pick up new skills. Ha ha, More prayers too for the global economy to have a speedy recovery.

More hands .. .. .. :P

Haha..surprisingly 2 months have passed. My partner who is on maternity leave is back. [Not 4 months cos the bb is not singapore citizen.]

Not much change. Some colleagues commented that her face is more round. Maybe put on a little weight. But to me, I think she is a gorgeous mum. More attractive haha...not so skinny and therefore more ideal looking.

It is kinda of different from the myth that after u get pregnant, after birth, you will look old, fat and haggard. But then again, my aunt who has 4 children, looks perfectly fine too. Though i must admit she put on some weight, but after 4 chances, she still look good. In fact, one of my bridesmaid did not know she was the mother of 4. Haha, I hope I am one of the lucky ones who will look more attractive too. :P
