Travelling

I just had a 'break' from my six month old son, Lucas, two weeks ago. I followed my husband to Melbourne on his business trip. This is the first time I leave my son. I 'parked' my son with my mom. The first two days felt good. I felt like the days before Lucas was born...carefree. But by the third day, I felt something was missing. Then I realised that I would rather have him beside me with interrupted sleep than to sleep peacefully without him. Now, I don't mind him waking me up in the middle of the night.

The packing was quite tedious. I used to pack for myself and my husband. Now I have to pack for three!. I of course forgot to bring my husband business shirt. He had to recycle his shirt. This is of course not so good as he is meeting client.

My job serach has mometarily halted. I updated my CV..finally... My husband will be on a four months job in LA and the whole family will be moving there. Then, there is a long list of to-dos before we leave and a long list of to bring...Job will just have to wait for the time being.

However, my notebook search is still on. I am debating whether to get a Toshiba Portege M500-1221E or a Compaq Presario B1958TU. I am seriously keen on the Portege but the con is I have to pay extra RM430 to upgrade Vsita Basic to Premium. This comes out to be more than 5K. Still waiting for the Toshiba sales guy to get back to me if he can do anything about it. Meanwhile the Compaq is very reasonably priced. But honestly, I am quite tired of Compaq. Usually gives me problem after the warranty expired and the support is so-so. Let's see.
