Changes...

Changes here & there. In my last blog, I wrote that my Indonesian maid had surgery to remove a lymphoma from her back. She's fully recovered now. But she will be leaving us for Indonesia this Saturday. Four days ago, she received a call from her brother that her mum had an road accident. Her family members insisted that she return home to take care of her mum. So, I had no choice but to let her go. She had been with us for the last three years and I really appreciate her diligence and unassuming personality. Ruth is very attached to her and we were sorry to see her go.

I have decided to work 1/2 day in the mornings only. I had not been in good health for the past few months and I do not want to overly exert myself. With hubby away from home, I had to manage all household chores, decisions and supervising Ruth all by myself. It's really exhausting. Although it means less income, I believe we can adjust and manage somehow.

Ruth is currently very busy with her projects. She had to hand up her history and geography folios by end of May 2009. It's definitely a very busy year for her!
