It's ending soon....

Happy Chinese New Year to all... Wah seh, the homesickness is literally terrible when I am away from my comfort zone on festive seasons. It certainly didn't help when my mum's birthday was on the 1st day of CNY. I couldn't get either of my parents on their mobile at all. Thanks to the very competent XX country telcom. Luckily, I have found a way to get a temporary relief from those down moments. Drinking a bowl of hot soup. It certainly reminds me how chinese I am. A bowl piping hot soup after a meal. =) For the first time today, my sup and I had the longest conversation of 15 mins. Hmm... I will save the story of why we rarely speak at length for another day. Anyhow, he has a job waiting for him now but he's quite reluctant to join him 'cos it is an office job. He was telling me that he's quite surprised that we actually have a bond to my current company for 3 long years, especially in such a robust job industry. Actually, he has more or less disturbed my "equilibrium of thoughts" with his words....It hit a raw nerve. There's always a limitation to how much a small company can do for me. And it is definitely true that sometimes in this job I wished that I could go for more training courses to learn more things. See how an MNC function etc....It didn't help when I have a 3 year bond tagged to my head. On a positive side, my boss has been good to me lah...pay not very high only...Even my current drilling manager has always told me that I should not worry too much because he feels that this co can provide me with the correct environment to grow up in before I go out and join the "big boys". If there's one person I totally looked up to.. it would be this drilling manager. He can be really harsh in his words to me sometimes. However, he's definitely the wisest guy I ever knew, not just in drilling technicalities... Lately, I have been thinking real hard how to chart my career path upwards...aiya, sometimes I just totally hate it when people's words disturb the equilibrium that I have found for myself... zzz.... This is almost officially my last hitch in XX country. hahaha... =PpPp actually, I am quite glad this is ending faster than expected. I am really burnt out from all the shuttling around between 2 countries and the less than 8 days break per month schedule. I am so looking forward to hanging out and doing nothing in Singapore when I get home!!! Just the coffee, the book and me..... =)
