Big Step. Big Move.



Last year, i made a huge step in my life by getting hitched.

This year, i made another huge step. which is, a change in career.

By August 2011, God's willing, i will be in a brand new place. I will have a brand new life. A better paying job. A whole new colleagues.

I have been with my current company for too long. It's time to spread my wings and experience the world.

I do not want to spend the rest of my working years with that company. If i do so, what will i gain? How will i gain?

I feel that i need to set the record straight before i leave. The reason why is because i feel kinda guilty for leaving halfway and there are some of the students parents in my FB account and I do not want them to find out from anyone else, but me.

First of all, the decision made to tender my resignation was in 1st March 2011.
I was still teaching the K1s and the nursery class in the afternoon.

For the record, I have to serve notice for a whole 3 months. And that does not include June holidays. So if you do the math, i served almost 5 months of notice.

March, April, May, June (not included) and July (cause im helping them since they havent found a teacher yet).

Ok so back to the story.

Right before the March holidays, i was told that the centre is going to change. Due to the general elections. my current centre will not be involved with my then management.

I am absolutely positive its work politics that they transferred and move teacher around here and there. My then k2 teacher was transferred to another centre and i was told to take over.

I was shocked, of course. Who wouldnt?

My then management jolly well knew i was leaving, why on earth would they put a teacher that is leaving to teach the graduating class. Weird right?

I could not fathom why the decision was made but it did. I mean, im just an employee there. What could i say?

I dont know but maybe they thought i would somehow changed my mind or something. But this step that I am making is for the best. My future.

I have always believed that things happened for a reason.

This is one of them.

I have been married for over a year now but so far still no luck for the lil one.

Initially i blame the work. I blame the stress. I blame the hormones. Yes, especially the latter.
But all i can say was, if i were to get pregnant now and to leave my job and find a new one, im very sure it will be so darn difficult.

Who would want to employ a pregnant woman, you tell me.

Therefore i have made up my mind, to plan for one, insyallah by the end of the year. After the 3 months probation.

I really hope to share some good news with you guys in 2011. Insyallah.
