Finally, I have time to sit down and blog. Mateen's asleep. Bottles, 3 used and can be washed tmrw morning. Laundry, the dry ones have been folded, will wash the remaining clothes tmrw. Kitchen, everything has been washed & kept away. So I am good, now I deserve a "Me" time to myself! tee hee..

Without realizing it, 2 weeks of January has passed. And within that 2 weeks, I've been doing lots of thinking, analyzing, comparing the 2 offers that was given to me for my career. One, a promotion in my current job. From a Head to a Coordinator. Massive responsibilities. A role that I would thought I would consider in the next 5-10 years, but was given the job now. I was truly honored, but quite skeptical at the same time.

The second one, was another job offer. A GREAT job offer. The oppurtunity (that can't be missed) came knocking on my door, and mind you, I had NO intention to leave anything soon.

So, what would one do?

I.. with heavy hearted..decided to resign.. :(

Believe me, it wasn't an easy decision to make. I had to weigh the pros & cons of each offer. The salary, the benefits, the environment.. in the end, I've choose a different setting/ environment for my own career pathway, in the long run it will benefit me Insyallah..

It was nerve wreaking when I told my director, but thankfully she was really understanding & cool about me moving on. My colleagues were shocked & surprise, as there was no indication of me leaving, especially with the new promotion. I feel so guilty about leaving, but I have to brave through the next 2 months, do my job, and leave when the time comes.

And as for the new job.. I do look forward, since it is a national pilot project. The good thing is, my ex-boss is there! So, having a familiar face is good!Of course, I have yet to foresee the obstacles that I am about to face. Insyallah, everything will turn out right..

After 3.5 years, I've decided to leave my comfort zone. I went thru a lot over the years..the good, the bad, the ugly.. but, everything was worthwhile..It was a tough decision to make. A new chapter shall begin. Now I can truly believe when ppl say "Anak membawa rezeki". All these happening betul2 rezeki Mateen, Alhamdulillah..

Over New Year's Eve, a.k.a my 1st anniversary, there were 2 conversations that strike me..

Terk: Meen, remember during the New Year 2009, you were telling us, "Another 365 days till my wedding day?" Well, now it's exactly 365 days after your wedding, and now you have a baby! Who knows, maybe the 365 days, you'll have another baby?

Haha..funny Terk.. Nope, ain't happening..

Shades: Mateen's eyes are Grey.. Too much of Grey's Anatomy I guess.

Hmm....maybe.. future Dr Mateen a.k.a Dr McDreamy? tee hee..
