balance.

been back at the office for a week now. everyone keeps asking if i miss jigglyboo when i'm not at home. sometimes, i'm kinda stumped for an answer. well, of course i miss her. but it also doesn't mean i wanna be a full-time housewife. which sounds kind of horrible, i know. lots of people would kill for the opportunity to be a housewife and spend every waking moment watching their child grow up. which is something that truly deserves respect. being a housewife is way underrated, i can assure you.

but apart from the fact that i need the monthly income to support us (and also my leisure expenses, let's be honest), i like working. it keeps me sane. i spent sixty days at home with jigglyboo, which was fun, but equally tiring. i think i'd enjoy being a housewife later on in life, when jigglyboo is bigger and i'll be shepherding her to all these extra classes (which will still require money) and spending time with her, checking her homework and all that. but who knows, kan? only time will tell.

as of now, i'm just taking things a day at a time. i'm lucky to have a job at a workplace that truly does promote work-life balance - so i'm always home at a decent hour and when i'm home, i can really focus on the things going at home without worrying about work. sure, if i wanna chase the whole big job/big pay thing, i'll have to aim at looking for another job in the next few years. but for once, i feel like i've settled in. i like the work i'm doing (it's not routine work like i used to do in accounting), my teammates are supportive and helpful and i like the exposure it gives us.

i've been here for about 9 months, and i've enjoyed it so far. i think i'll stick around for awhile.
