Musing at Doha

I'm sitting in Doha airport now awaiting my flight back to Dubai. The last few months of working in Dubai had drained the hell out of me. Indeed it knocked the stuffing out of me so much so I have decided to throw in the towel.

I will be heading back to tidy up the loose ends and tendering my resignation. My time in Dubai has been plagued by bad luck to say the least. Deciding to resign has not been an easy task. Beside the small matter of looking like a quitter, there is the problem of paying back 15k SGD in my car loan and advance for housing.

Ultimately, I am blessed that I have strong family and friends who are more than willing to help me up. Though my mom has whined about my initial decision to join Dubai despite her best efforts to dissuade me, she told me to leave the money part to her. Before leaving for Dubai, she constantly tried to pass me cash to ensure that my quality of life there will be okae. So too are my aunt and TK and Beng.

I went to BKK with Jason and had a smashing time. Knowing my financial predicament, he tried to pay more for the holidays. Also the usual suspects Urine, Frog, MK, Fat and even Short has sent me text messages to cheer me up. I guess the important lessons here is that at least I can still count on my family and friends.

Now is boarding time. I will go back Dubai and clear things up. Eagerly anticipating my return back to Spore and hopefully I can get into teaching again. I miss that so much.
