News !

I will be placed in Zurich. So its now Zurich, Zurich, Zurich. No Middle East for me yet. I am very happy. Right now I am down with the sniffles but this has made my day. I am still cautious and not really confident about this move, but hey, its just a lapse. Once I am there I will be the same as always.

Now to repack and shove all my shirts in the case.

One sad thing is, I had a talk with the director he asked me why Middle East. Besides the obvious $, I had to note I wasn't keen on going back to Singapore. I miss my folks and relatives, chap chye, crab, kuay teow, curry, laksa..... damn what do you call that pack of lemongrass rice with the fried egg, ikan bilis and chicken wing...

This topic has come up a lot of late : Why don't I go home. Honestly, its because I am afraid I will never leave. Its not easy leaving. Sure, I have had a fancy life eating out in restos, going to the coolest clubs and flying wherever I want to. But it doesn't beat having a sit down dinner with the folks.
