less coffee

I am now in the status of 20 days at home without a maid... This is tough as for the past 5 years my domestic life was running almost automatic. Picture this , everything in the house is being organized well according to the specs , since I had an efficient one I just need to monitor and do the strategy portion , execution was never the problem! Now , the maid has returned home for good (contract ended) plus she is getting married. Those days of ordering coffee instead of making one is over Tina! And spa? Yes I need one now but have to plan well..can't just leave home without a babysitter around! From a project manager to a full time domestic manager in half a year's time, Phewwh..May Allah gives the strength to me..and oh yes coffee for me tonite err midnite is 'kopi O kampung' ,a locally made coffee..hmm my heart suddenly sings "money möney money ...come to me"

October fest & Germany

Well..tomorrow will be exactly 7 months anniversary of me being a retrenchee from Qimonda . Today I read some posts in LinkedIn from my old colleagues and how I really missed them so very much! I learnt that religion, races and what we believe is not so much different from each other if we have the same target be it in work or in life. Being a Malaysian it is always easy to understand that being different is always a strength in any organisation , provided you know yourself well though...

I created this blog in a hypermarket not far from my home . My kids are playing in an air-conditioned playground ( I do not think I can fimnd this kindof playground in Dresden : )) ) and I am missing my husband ...well he has been away for some days to Indonesia for a Business Trip . Probably the last visit if he persists on leaving the factory world to venture to his family business. There are so many things changing in our lives , in work and our relationship.
I can agree to myself now that leaving Qimonda is a blessing to my private life. In these few monthes I have recollected some missing pieces in our relationship and also going back exploring the deep side of me .
The best part of it is to realise how much time I have 'lost' in being a good wife and good mom. I always belive that I can do a lot of things in life and excel in it with God's will but now I need to choose...and to draw my own DA (decision analysis) is not as easy as drawing it when we had those engineering problems in Qimonda.
Working in semiconductor was like drinking coffee...it is addictive and when we are run out of it...well..you know how it feels I guess.
I call the phase now ..being in a spa.....
A coffee spa.....

October and its famous fest in Germany is now just memories ......
