Moving forward.

Yes, it is true what you've read from her blog, I'm being relocated by TheCompany to the SG office for a duration of 6 months due to lack of resources for a running project. Ironic how things turn out to be, me, supposingly employed for the KL office, yet, I've been working there more than here, as though, I'm some sort of cheap professional labour. Well, that's the feeling I get from all the previous frequent short project stints. It was a predicted move anyway, one could have seen it coming, judging from the amount of work here (like vacation) and there (like hell). And so, I guess you'll be seeing less and less of me roaming the streets of KL, if my presence were actually ever noticed in the beginning. *laughs*

So many preparations and decisions to make, yet so little time. The most important of all being looking for new accomodation since I can't live in the guesthouse for free anymore (TheCompany charges $500 per month, which is insanely high, considering its on shared basis). Next, I'm planning to switch to prepaid, and cancel off my current number, unless there's an option to downgrade. Global roaming for six months, is close to being mad; will update you guys on the new number once I've finalized my options. I'm being really indecisive on getting a notebook or not, cause on one side, at least I'll have some sort of entertaintment during my long stint there. Looking at the current hardware resources, I aborted my plans to request for one from TheCompany as chances of approval = 0.1%. Tsk. Tsk. On the other hand, its a definite financial strain for me (settling down in SG would require quite a huge sum of money as well), moreover, the dSLR still top the most wanted list. :P

But the biggest decision of all, would definitely be the point where TheBoss was seeking a confirmation, whether I agree to the relocation. I don't think I'm actually given much choice at all because if I disagreed, I'll definitely be sent back to KL with nothing on hand (makan gaji buta) since the market's pretty quiet here, I might as well start looking for another job. If I agreed, I would be spending the next half of 2007 in SG, away from all the comforts and familiarity of KL, friends and family, also, away from the girlfriend. Basically, its a choice between career and relationship, only after much discussion with her that it came to this current decision, not exactly a total agreement, but its the best that we can work out.

I'll be leaving on the 28th of June, anyone who wanna see me for one last time before a long absence is advised to do it as soon as possible. You might regret it for not making it for the coming six months, hahaha! A recent conversation with her:
