It's time to draw the curtain on this blog. I simply don't have time to write for leisure anymore. With Wenty starting her wall sticker business and me starting a new job in less than three weeks and us wanting to spend lots of quality time with Rafa, time is becoming more and more precious.
Oh I just handed my resignation letter to my boss last week. After the last interview that didn't work out (that job required lots of traveling), I thought I would stay put for a while. May be at least until I become eligible for my long service leave as I only have less than 2 years to serve to get that.
However, a good opportunity came up and I was in between major projects at my current work and got stuck doing rather uninteresting work and not learning anything. Rather than continue doing something I don't enjoy for a few more months and waiting for the next major project to come along and hoping that I will score a significant role in that project, I took things in my own hand and grabbed this new opportunity with both hands.
The chance to work with a group of technically smart people working on cutting edge cloud and web based technologies are simply too good for me to pass up. I'll be busy keeping myself and my hands on technical skills up to date in my spare time. It's gonna be a very exciting year ahead for both myself and Wenty.
It'll be a bit sad saying good byes to my current workmates. I've spent over 5 years there and you don't spend 5 years at a place without developing some bonds. But hey life has to go forward and nobody expects to stay with the same employer forever these days.
Same with this blog, it's time to move on. I will keep it online as some old posts may be informational and useful to some people but I'll set some of the more personal posts to draft mode when time permits as I have shared way too much information in the past. Wenty's website comes with a blog so we will be posting there once in a blue moon if we have something interesting about her business journey to write about.
Good bye and thanks for reading my ramblings.

thank you for all your postings. Your blog has been pretty helpful to me!!
I wish you all the best!
It is sad to know that you are not writing your blog anymore but am glad to have met you and your family here :) All the best to your family and Rafa!
All the best!
Congrats for your new job =)
It's sad to see u've decided to stop writing, this blog is one of those that i follow for light entertaining read. Thanks for writing all this while =)
thanks for sharing all this time, hope things go well on the new job and to Wenty's new business!
Congratulations on your new job! I've followed your blog ever since I googled for "Australia vs Singapore". That was over 2 years ago (?). We've since moved here in Melbourne after living in Singapore for more than 8 years. I find your posts both useful and practical. And as I am a frustrated photographer, I love the pictures in your articles, too! All the best to you, Wenty and Rafa! Hope Rafa gets a sibling, soon! :-)
Thanks for your kind words everyone.
Hah, a sibling for Rafa? Not anytime soon. It's hectic enough as it is raising him and trying to do the things we want to do. I don't even have time to maintain this blog anymore now let alone another child. May be once he starts school we'll consider another one. How do you manage three? As you probably has experienced in your two years here, raising kid(s) here without domestic help and extended family support is not easy.
all the best to you and family.
Its been a pleasure reading your blog.
Hi Will,
Greetings to your lovely family:)
My hubby and myself will be moving to melbourne beginning of next year.
i would like to ask which suburb of western melbourne do you stay? We are looking at Caroline Springs, can i have your thought?
Regards,
Joey
Hi Joey,
To be honest we have rarely been to Caroline Springs, only went there a couple of times to visit friends. As such I don't really have much opinion on it either way. I stay in Maribyrnong (have stayed here for over 8 years) and love it here so I can definitely recommend Maribyrnong :).
Good luck with the move.
Regards,
Wills
Hi Will,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Will look into Maribyrnong too :)
Best regards,
Joey
