Flexi Work Life

As a Mom to my 5 Little Angels, I always wanted to spend more times with my little Angels to be the first to watch their growing up period like calling Mama, Papa, turning, walking, running and jumping. To be the first and only one to hear their grumbling, complaints, cheers and happiness but I just don't have enough times to do that. I always envy my maid whom had been with me for more than 8 years as she was closed to my Little Angels than me. Good news was, she really took good care of them. Bad news was my Little Angels sometimes more close to her than me. Sigh... I also remembered my Mom being a full time housewife, always there to cook delicious food for me, sending me to bus station cycle her bicycle every morning without fail to ensure I was save to school. She always there for me whenever I felt happy or sad as once I reached home, I'll relate everything to her. She is my best friend now and forever and I hope to be the same like my Mom but because of high standard of living nowadays, even my husband who is a Certified Accountant and work as Tax Manager can't afford for me to do that. These really mades me sad and felt guilty for not being enough times with my Little Angels ...

So, when I went to 1U last Sunday, I came across a banner as above about the flexWorkLife.my at Urban Mom 2014. Without hesitation, I went to the booth to find out more and just in time for their live talk where the speakers on that day shared their experience on how they made a career comeback after being a Mother. Thats sound interesting to me as I also hope to have this flexi work so that I can spend more times with my little Angels...
