真水无香

昔陶潜常抚无弦琴 孰云无人解听
Whatever I do, it’s to feel my existence




Think of a beach enveloped in mist waiting to be discovered;
Think of a wild horse fighting to be ridden;
Think of a glass of wine over a quiet conversation;
Think of standing at a cliff edge with only pair of wings;
Think of capturing the moment of thoughts under the cozy green shade;
Think of moving bodies to upbeat urban music;
Think of rollercoaster at the circus;
Think of a soaring eagle focusing on his prey;
Think of the essence of water that fits into any shape of container;
Think of me…

a decision

So, I’ve tender my resignation and informed a few close friends about my life changing decision.

‘Are you excited!’ they asked. No, I am not particularly excited. In fact, I have some doubts. My answer often would be ‘As I grow older, the decision is no longer about whether if it’s right but whether if it has least compromises.’ 

 Some even think this is a way for me to run away from Al. C’mon, he is not that bad, we are not that bad!

Maybe subconsciously.

As I said, the decision is to minimize the ‘compromises’. 

  1. Singapore is much more realistic for my parents compare to Malaysia or Australia. So, if they don’t like Australia, I will still have Singapore as 2nd option.
  2. Archie’s education and quality of living. 
  3. I want a change, 12 years in Malaysia is long enough.
  4. Better saving.
  5. A positive stimulation to my marriage
  6. A better sense of belonging, a PR

The only downside and concern I have over this change is separating Archie and Al. Although Al will be visiting us almost every weekend in Singapore, I still feel really bad that this is not ideal concept of ‘family’.

..but decision has been made. The anticipation of this change make me feel reborn.
