Hi, I'm a 27-year-old housewife who has been travelling with my
husband around Asia for the past year. We usually stay in a city
for 2-4 months then move on to another, due to the nature of his
work.
As such, I've been unable to find a job after resigning from my job
in Singapore. Call it the Singaporean Curse, but I am someone who
enjoys working very much. I've tried to keep myself occupied by
learning a fourth language and attending classes on yoga, knitting,
flower arrangement etc. but these are more like time-fillers than
activities that give deep fulfillment.
There is still a void in my heart that I cannot seem to fill.
While I do enjoy being a housewife and caring for my husband, I
resent waking up everyday and not having goals. I've considered
free-lance writing, and community work...but these have not come to
fruition due to the short period of stay in each city. I've only
managed to do some free-lance translation work, but that is not
frequent enough to keep me occupied. Worse, moving from city to
city means that I've not been able to build up an immediate circle
of friends. My husband travels very frequently (average 2 times a
week) which leaves me very lonely.
We don't plan to have kids for another 1-2 years, so I'm likely to
have plenty of time on my hands till then.
What do you girls do to fill up your time? HELP!!
