Hubbs is away.

Tonight is the first night of his outstation trip to Jakarta for TWO WEEKS. Yeah that’s JUST 14 days to some but to me 14 freakin days feels like a year. Coz clingy, manja me has NEVER been apart from the hubbs since the day we got married almost 2 years ago.

The one single night we haven’t slept together was during a trip with friends when the rooms are limited and boys had to sleep with boys and vice versa. We were 2 doors apart and already I got anxious hahaha. I told ya I got separation anxiety issues; not just with the hubbs coz I bet it will be an even bigger issue with the lil kiddo.

Hubbs finally got a job he really loves, with great colleagues, great opportunities, but not great pay lah hehe. But at least, he is happy. And the job gives him the chance to always travel, seeing how the company does systems for airports worldwide. Much as I am truly honestly happy for him, I also dread the times when he’d have to travel and leave me behind. I mean, us. Especially with a baby who is the girl-version of him. I practically BEGGED him to try his level best to not leave us for more than 2 weeks at a time, coz I believe that’s my threshold for being away from him.

I really need to manage (and perhaps, get over?) this separation anxiety don’t I.

On the other hand, I got confirmation last week that I myself would have to go to T.aiwan, the base of my current company (which I actually had not intended to stay on in coz it was my backup plan for the other job which I declined in the end coz the offer came too late and the prospect of working shifts does not appeal to me no more) for a training course. For a week. I could not ‘tai-chi’ from this assignment as by right, I should have gone during my pregnancy and the boss kindly pushed it back to my convenience. And since he promoted me to a PM. Hmmph. Rezeki anak kan. So like it or not, I’ve gotta do this. I’ve also decided in the end that this company may have something in store for me. I earned a better designation, I may get to get certified on certain technologies, I might be able to achieve something there; all in the name of getting a few extra lines and brownie points in my CV for future use. That’s definitely valuable. So, I’ve decided to stay, at least for a year.

This job really did have a silver lining for me, albeit me being the only non-C.hinese there. I’ve gained more contact, got to know a few more valuable headhunters, and I do believe the next time I change jobs, I can get what I really want with all the extra points and options available. Looks like I really have to learn and *gasp* WORK after my leave ends.

Hubbs’ coming back the day before I start work. A week later, off I go to T.aiwan. I wish wish wish wish I could bring the lil kiddo with me, but hubbs really really really wanted the one week as HIS bonding time with her and I’ve gotta grant him that right. The separation anxiety is only gonna get worse, in a foreign country where they don’t speak our language, or even English hahaha. Thank God for my basic knowledge of ‘how do you do? what did you have for breakfast? where do u want to go?’ in their language. It’s also gonna be my first time away from kiddo, apart from the hospitalization earlier on in her life.

Poor baby, barely 2 months old and one parent after another goes disappearing here and there.

Now, anybody knows what’s good in T.aiwan?
