Thanks Victoria 😉 I totally agree with you. If the job is putting a too much stress on you and you have the ability to take a break, I say go ahead with it. I have people telling me how shock it is that someone would need a break. For goodness sake! I haven’t been taking any leaves for 5 years! This girl deserve a break! 😀

Thanks for this post and all the 5 points highlighted are really good ones 🙂 I took a break in 2008 for 3 months as I was tired of the job that I have been in for 5 years. I traveled to Sydney and Kuching and really enjoyed my break. Of course I still had to apply for jobs because I did not have much money to last me for that long. Finally got a job at the end of my 3 months break. I quit again in 2012 and got another job within 3 weeks of quitting . Had the worse boss possible and after 6 months of her constant screaming, I decided enough was enough and was not going to take any more of her nonsense. So I guess the moral of the story is that if you are financially stable and really feel you need a break, then go for it. No point continuing to work in a place that just makes you feel miserable.

Wow. I love your break adventure. It’s really nice to recuperate in between jobs. I was having so much fun not working at all although I’m happy to go back to work. First 2 days was hard. I was sleeping by noon (I usually took a nap in the afternoon) and I had headache from all the info absorbing. After the 1st week, everything was back to normal 😀

My longest break time is six months between jobs. I went australia to travel for 2 months, staying with farmers and helping out to save on travelling cash, recuperating at the time as well, then I came back to singapore again and took my time to find another job. Totally love the two months abroad, definitely perked me up and make me ready for another job!
