Has been working full time for 13 years....


Just converted to part-time working arrangement this year when my only child (dd) enters P1 this year.

Don't know how this work out yet (starting mid Jan), crossing my fingers....

I think pt arrangment is the best anyone could ask for. Count your blessings, girl. And, ermm, do you mind dropping by the PTWP club? We're kinda exclusive at the moment. Exclusive as in so few members nia.

Joining late as usual. A FTWM, with 2 kids. DD P5 & ds P3. I love working but hate it when the work requirement clashed with family time.


Just finish a night telecon & before that was rushing to help dd pack her bags for her camping trip tomorrow. Exam time coincidentally always clash with business trip or work emergency.

But I’m a loyal employee. 10 years in the previous co and 5 years in the second one.

Yup, \"discovered\" and dropped by PTWP club already....:)

btw, for my case it's not a case of converting to p/t at my current workplace, not feasible due to work nature, will end up working f/t but pay definitely p/t.

Andaiz, you cannot downgrade lah. You staying with your inlaws right? Downgrade means not enough space to move around and you will keep bumping into each other more.


Let us all that we can either find a higher paying job or we strike the CNY toto.

Part time is a great idea and so is working from home but i don't have such luck!

MMM, I also intend to keep my car for another 5 years to cut cost unless COE is $2???!!!

MMM:

On the 1st day, I felt soooo tired and fell asleep on the way to and from work. It's getting better each day but it's just the beginning.

I always doze off in train when there are seats, cannot control myself. :oops: :oops:

Sigh... at least u can catch some sleep in the train. I cant catch any sleep on my way to office and home.... cos I drive... ! :!:

I'm just training my bio-system to get used to 6hrs of sleep.... hee

[peapot]

Eh, why don’t we come up a no each and go bet on Toto? Ha…Huat AH!!

This is funny :lol: but it is true. I stay with pils. When we were in a 3 bedroom unit, I usually coop in our room. Everywhere you go, you see them...

Now that we are in landed, I don't get to \"see them\" that much. I feel that I've more personal space. Eg. I can go to the balcony, kids' rooms, study room, etc... and not bump into them.

Also, on downgrade. hubby has been talking about downgrading to HDB (since day 1 as we will be debt free, that is his dream). He suggested to me to buy 2 HDB with his parents. I was like.... talk to your father first. I bet if he speak to my pil, he will get hammered/ slaughtered..... :!: So he will never dare to do so. We were joking that my pils will scold him \"bu xiao zhi, I upgraded from HDB and now you want to move me back to HDB :x \".
