Never in my mind did it cross me to take this step, I am surprised I did. And a quick decision it was. It's like going abroad for a different life, but still so at home, that I dont feel any difference. OR that is what I thought.
Things just took a sudden turn, or maybe it is fate. I had it all planned for the next 2 years to come. Work a little while more with my comfortable pay in Malaysia, quit my job and go over to Australia to complete Masters Degree. 1 month from my planned plan, I find myself in the bus, on the way to Singapore for my new job.
Till today, I dont really know what happened and how did the decision came about. I do remember however when the interview offer came, I told myself that I was merely going for an interview, and throughout that, discussion with family and friends was, I was not to take it up. But somehow, it happened. The pay wasnt fantastic, the rent in Singapore was high, away from my family, friends and dogs, no car and worst of all, my 2 years plan! All gone. I suppose it was the push factor, of course the currency exchange and the buying power.
Anyhow, it happened. 30th June 2008, I stepped over the Causeway and found myself, standing in a foreign land, that somewhat does look like home.
