Away from Singapore for a long time
Maybe you can call it jitters, maybe even fear. The fact is despite the gungho attitude i'm trying to impress on others, i am scared. I be leaving for Dubai tonight. The unknown is indeed scary yet pulsating.
Years ago, i set up this blog to tell about my feelings when i go over for my exchange in Poland. the mish mash of emotions that were going through inside me at that time. My experiences, my friendships, my adventure and my life were all noted down for remembrance. Time truly flies as the generation old adage will attest to it. I am now a graduate and is embarking on my first job. My first proper job.
Just like i had never thought my exchange will be in Poland, little did i expect my first job posting to be in Dubai. I was thinking more along the line of China, Hong Kong but Dubai? Never cross my mind. Reality can be quite funny isnt it?
I hate sending off. Inside me, i'm proud of the fact that i got well meaning friends eager to send me off. However i am too emotionally weak for it. The departure with the hugs, byes and tears really shaken me. My friends will know me as a very emotional person contrary to what my persona will suggest. Yes indeed by now, those who known me by now knows im emotionally fragile.
It is going to be weird that the next day i'm typing will be in a complete foreign land. I'll be leaving behind my parents, family, niece, nephew, gf, urine, froggy, beng, students and many many other buddies to embark on a new chapter in my life. This chapter i suspect will define the next part of my life. Just as i known the other time round when i go over to Warsaw, i know it now too. The good byes and adieu we are going to bid tonight will be temporary. I'll be back.
