If you have went through this, you will know how I feel.... Career switch at age 35 seems like a risk... I have been in the restaurant line for the longest time already, and I spend the last 11 years in my previous company working hard to achieve who I am today. And poof, it's all gone now!!! What is the reason for this career switch and why? It is all because I AM A MOTHER!
For the past year, I realize that I am always tired, I got no time to see my baby at all! She's still sleeping when I go to work, and she would have already fall asleep when I reach home! On my rest day, all I wanted is to sleep as I am so tired. I've grown fatter than before, putting on so much weight, I could only hear my parents telling me Baby Joy starts to crawl, she's calling 'Ah Ma', but I never get to see all her first time! I thought to myself, it's time to change! I need to be there for my girl, be part of her childhood, be there whenever she needs me! And the next thing I know, I went for an interview and tender my resignation.
A career switch at age 35 seems so scary. I need to start from scratch, working from bottom up again. My starting salary is a big difference comparing to the past. I need to cut down on my spending (Lesser shopping, lesser makeup). I need to learn new skills & knowledge. There are stress here & there and I felt like crying during the first week of my new job! But, I also have more time for Baby Joy! I could see her everyday, read to her, sing to her, play with her... I could engage in her daily activities. All because I AM A MOTHER, and this is where my strength and courage came from! :)
I've been with this company for only about 1 month, but I feel different already! My sleeping habits change, my eye bags & circles are gone, I have my meals at the correct time and I've manage to slim down 3 kg. Other than having more time for baby Joy, I also find time to go cycling.
This is the first time in my life I feel so different! I could enjoy everything I wanted which I couldn't previously. Even a simple trip down Orchard Road on the weekends is just impossible when I'm in the restaurant line as I will be busy at work.
Guys, thanks for reading this long post! A bit boring right, but that's how I feel right now!
I am looking forward to building more memories with baby Joy since I got more time for her now. Of course, make time for myself by change some lifestyle habits!
Live a better life with a better me!
Love,
Annette
As reported by Stanford Medical, It's in fact the ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years more and weigh 19 kilos less than we do.

BTW, What I said is "HOW", not "what"...
