Happiness

I have unwritten rules for myself: don't write a blog or anything when it's time approaching my period, it's usually heavily influenced by my mood swings and I ended up writing something I'll regret later.

But tonight I break the rule. I'm in the mood to blog and because I know not many people read this blog nowadays anyways, I feel free to write anything that has passed my mind.

Last month, just after I got my first job here in Singapore, my husband had an interview with someone from the old place and most likely we will move back to Geneva next year.

Next year .. gosh, it means 4 more months? how could I let my new employer know about this? or maybe I shouldn't let them know anything in a first place. We still don't know the exact date and we're still waiting for the written confirmation about the transfer.

I'm also waiting for a good news for my books, hopefully next week after their meeting with the marketing division. I'm full of hope. I can finally see my own path .. and the news about moving out again sounds irrelevant to me, to my own struggling dreams! but we must follow the captain, this boat must keep on sailing .. to the west we go, if we must.

I just have to .... go where the wind blows. I'll find something there to keep me busy and happy, like I always do. I'll create my own happiness, I don't need to depend on anyone or anything for that. I just need to struggle again that's all ....

oops! I thought nobody read this blog anymore ;-P

Hahaha, this blog is still inside Planet Singapura, which I still check occasionally.

So it's true then? Will surely miss the four of you if that's the case. :(

Wati said...

will let you know when the time is right .. and when you should remove it from your planet ;-D

Does it mean that you and Tata still prefer living in Geneva compared to in Singapore? :)

Would like to know your thoughts and opinions after experiencing to live in both. :)

I remember last time when you were still in Geneva, you were pretty much looking forward to move to Singapore (because it's closer to home, etc). ;)

well, to make the story short: Tata isn't happy working here, he loves the job but the working environment is not as he imagined before moving here.

We love the closeness to home, but since my mom-in-law (Tata's mom) died, we have nobody to return to back home, we're thinking to sell our properties in Jkt and Cianjur ..

Our decision mostly for the children too, their school, we think the european system is not as rigid as s'pore system where high marks is everything and many children suffer because of it, they all want to be the best, number one and the competition is stressful even for children.

Life is not all about competition and being number one, life is about living .. yes, we all need to work hard to succeed, but everyone has their own pace and their own way :-)

IndraPr said...

Yup, I can't agree more. I think Singapore children are being stressed out to their limit.

Nevertheless, I noted that you now have many Indonesian friends here in Singapore. Just wondering how would your feeling when you have to leave them all?

I presume your Indonesian friends in Geneva will not be as many as what you have here in Singapore? :)

true .. it's never been easy leaving and moving on, but then again thanks to the technology we can always keep in touch, we're only one click away ..

I believe we all must adapt to every situation, I personally don't mind having only a bunch of friend who I can trust and feel close to, having so many friends can cause problems sometimes .. and in the end we'll all die alone, anyway ...
