Lamanya nak sambung citer...
From Aug 08 until Feb 09....baru nak sambung citer...teruk betul lar...hehehe....
Anyways - cutting long story short, I gave birth to our second daughter on 08.08.08....yup it was on a date whom many people were envied of. Puteri Nur Zahra Syasmeen was born at 10.35pm, weighed 3.5kg, normal delivery, assisted with vacuum.
Today she's almost 6 months and is growing very healthily, she is now 8kg, still exclusively brestfeeding. Alhamdulillah...I was so determined to do this ever since I was pregnant. I didn't manage to do it when I had Saffiyya, altho I did breastfed her for 1 year but it was combined with formula all the way. After seeing Saffiyya easily fell sick with flu and cough and a series of nebulizer-visit to hospital/clinic, I was so determined to breastfeed Zahra and I managed to sustain until today. May Allah gives me strength to do this at least for 1 year, insya Allah.
And starting Dec last year, I had my long-waited maid. She has been with us for 2 months now and so far so good. At least our weekends now are not spend thinking when to do laundry, when to clean the house etc etc. Now we have all the time we want for the kids and for ourselves.
Also starting from Dec, I was assigned to a new role in Xom. It has nothing to do with programming, I had to do something new, totally new role for myself. I am now the Planner analyst for Asia Pacific. I'm responsible to do planning and budgeting for Asia Pacific...sounds crazy huh? I felt the same way too when I first heard the news from my ex-Supv. I was thinking to myself, "Sendiri punya budgeting pun tak pass, ni kan pulak budgeting for AP?"
And trust me, it is one tough position...long hours of work, so many deadlines, and it's an individual contributor position. I have no one to depend on, except for my own initiative and my counterparts in other regions - that means, many late nite telecons. My hubby has been very understanding thus far, I thank you for that my dear.
There has been so many times I came home late and didn't have time to cook, and continued working from home until wee hours in the morning. I have to be strong for this...I hope I can sustain. I want to excel, therefore need to sacrifice some personal times. Hell...I just got the time when I had the maid, now I have to sacrifice some time....hehehe...ironic huh?
My resolution of this year: Live a happy life with my family, live a happy worklife, and kalau ada masa, teringin nak proceed with my business idea....dah lama dah pikir pasal business tapi asyik takder masa. I have been seeing a lot of my friends and relatives being successful with their own businesses, and I want to be one of them too. Insya Allah.
