It's now been four years since I've stopped doing the 9-6 routine, work-wise. Now, with my two-month old baby, the consultancy has arrived at a standstill and I'm mostly at home with my little girl latched on to me while re-watching my favorite series, reading stuff online, stalking people in Facebook or baby-talking, dressed in my husband's oversized shirts.
It's been a while but a part of me keeps hoping one of my former bosses would give me a call for an upcoming project they think would be perfect for me. I need to talk to an adult about communications, marketing campaigns... a deadline. Whatever. Just something that's not about exclusively breastfeeding, cloth nappies or the two-month old's development.
I need to do something soon. I need to resurrect my business and look for some new projects. But at the same time, I can't imagine spending time away from my little girl. It's such a polarising feeling.

Hello again!
Opening this blog is like opening a window into the past. My God, has it been that long? 2005 was the first time I wrote on this blog (well, no, not this blog but the original one where some entries here were copied from). I was 25 then. Single, having the time of my life working in PR. I had no money, no car, and I could afford to get drunk on a weeknight!
And now, I'm 34. Married. With a little girl. I wake up at 5AM and sleep at 10. I drink one to two glasses of wine a week because I breastfeed. I make a living as a consultant and occasionally write for fashion sites. I'm a neurotic, health conscious hypochondriac who eats healthy and has weekend diet breaks. Talk about Change.
I'm thinking about whether I should continue this blog. I already have my Tumblr. Not that my checking in there hasn't been sporadic at best. That's one thing that hasn't changed about me - my propensity to start at full speed, only to dwindle to a stop halfway without ever finishing. Or maybe that will end here. We will see!
Anyhow, it's nice to see you again, Younger Me. Wasn't it awesome, those past nine years?!
