Met up with my good friend, SK for dinner after work. Work ends at around 7.00 pm so by the time I met SK, it was already 8.30. Had a good time chatting with SK as she’s so down to earth and brings me back to reality. Being caught up with work and office life (and politics) can really drain a person’s energy. I envy her as she is courageous to take six years no pay leave from her teaching career to look after her three kids. Being a full-time mother means she has plenty of quality time spent with her children. It comes with some sacrifices as she has to work around a tight budget. I believe it’s a worthwhile investment to spend time with the kids when they’re still young. Will I have the courage to let go of my working life? Right now, I’m in a middle of a cross road…
