2015: Year in review

Today is the last day of 2015 and 笨mummy is feeling mixed emotion about it. 

Firstly, two of her co-workers of her team are leaving the company on 31 Dec, which is their last day at work. She wishes them all the best in their next job and she enjoyed their company very much for the past 3 years working with them. Coming to end of 2015, also mean that 笨mummy is closer to her own last day at work, which is the first week of Jan 2016. Of course, 天下没有不散的宴席, it is expected to see people entering and leaving your life in certain parts of it. 

Looking back on 2015, it has been a good year for 笨mummy: 

Career advancement
She got a job promotion in Apr 2015 that came with a juicy increment 6%. And in Dec 2015, she managed to secure a new job that is going to commerce in mid Jan 2016 that also come with an increment of 6% and a "nicer" job title. 

笨mummy is grateful that career luck has been kind to her since she started working in 2001. She is always able to find great mentors in her managers, bosses as well as colleagues that help to shape and mold her to be a better person in life. She is thankful to them for trusting her and allowing her to grow and accepting the mistakes that she made along the way. 

Tried new things / experience
笨mummy went on her first business trip to the United State of America and this is her first trip after working for 14 years. It was interesting and daunting in a way, as 笨mummy had never been to America before this trip, and she had also never travel on her own to another country. 

The experience was great, and 笨mummy realized that it is not as scary as she thought being in a foreign country on your own with the help of wifi, google map, auto-roaming, and a common spoken language - English. 

This year, finally after 3 years, 笨mummy finally made her first trip out of Singapore with hubby. It is a great feeling to finally being able to travel and experience the world outside Singapore. A little time away from work and the little one was great!! 

Support from hubby
笨mummy's hubby has been a great support to her in many ways. He accepted her for who she is and also accepting the flaws in her. 


Hello 2016!! 
笨mummy is looking forward to her new job in Mid of Jan 2016 and of course, a new working environment, new colleagues, and so much more.
