March Madness

I must admit that February went by very quickly! There is about February that it has become my darling of the year. This year February etched a place in my heart with the sweetest events unfolded so gracefully. The symphony of beautiful chorus still jingles in my ears. Well, reality has a knack to put some sense into my little head that February has come to an end. But the lasting memories created will be lingering in my thoughts for time to come (it will be more special than before since it holds many memoirs). What I’m likely to get from this month in near future, will be a month filled with a series of birthday bash, celebrations of love, reminiscence of our splendor wedding reception etc etc etc. Awww… I am missing it a little too much.
Party’s over!
It’s March now. I am slowly tweaking up to my ‘new’ work environment. No, no, no! I didn’t change jobs by the way. During my wedding leave, some re-shuffling of organization structure and project realignment took place. I knew about, the re-shuffling effort way before I was off for my nuptials. My director gave us some hint weeks before that we will be having new colleagues from SDRC to be filling into our workspace. Moreover, a series of potential key projects are in-store for the existing molecular markers team (That’s a nightmare to me!).
So here I am now, re-christened as molecular breeding team with new designation (no more scientist anymore, we were re-designated as biotechnologist. Sounds more sensible and fits the academic background that we come from). It is of great relieve to me now that I don’t need to hesitate to exchange my business cards in future (At least I don’t get the ooohhhhs and ahhhhhss when they get to know that I am a ‘scientist’ by profession).
The line-ups of new research projects are a great gateway for career development and enrich my CV with more research aptitude. Certainly it looks promising and exciting to me. Unraveling the complexity of oil palm genome through the various OMICS is something we are embarking on here at Sime Darby (Well, talking about work reminds me I have SOP documentation, proposal for my project and prepare training materials for my new employees. Oh gosh!)
This is not all that I have to do. My family will be relocating to a new house. Moving house is a terrifying thought. It seems like a good sign for a brand new start for all of us. A new hope of life awaiting for us. In another 2 weeks time, we would have moved into our new house and time for house makeover!
March will be a busy month for me! Madness of March is yet to reach the brim.
