Long long time, my dear blog. Ever since Xiaoxian was born, my life has been circling around her. I can still remember clearly on the events before her delivery. Her 4 months milestone is reaching next week. She will take another round of vaccine. I always look forward to visit PD for her vaccination, cos get to measure her height and weight. Knowing how her growth progress like.
I had made my commitment for her to be a stay-at-home-mum looking after her at least for year, watching her growing up. It was a decision that compromised Tiong-san and me after much consideration on the options we had and concluded this was the best for her.
I'm thinking how many co. are really understanding to allow their employees to take long leave to look after their families? To most people which is more important? Family or work?
Budget 2011, what do u think? does it brings some good news to you? I hope for the next budget, it came focus more on middle income household as majority of us come from this sector. As the inflation goes up, prices go up n same is COE, it tougher to sustain a family expense with the minimal increment in the income. Other than pinning hope on the Budget, what else can a normal citzen do to lead a comfortable life without feeling the pinch in the pocket?

Wow, finally another mummy who made the same decision as me!
My boy is 6 mths now and I can only say the process is not easy, but its worthwhile as you watch them hit their milestones, learn to flip, sit and crawl..
Jiayou!
yup, i agree not alot of companies n jobs allow working mothers to take such a long leave. Thus, our govt's target for work, life balance is still a LONG LONG way to go. In fact, not only the govt, the bosses, colleagues, citizens also must share the same vision else I think sg is still a very work-driven society.
