Last blog entry from Singapre

10 hours... and I will be on the plane to Jakarta.
My last blog entry. Location: Singapore

The excitement is threatening to spill out of my ears, yet, I am feeling just a little 'pensive'. It seems like everything is happening so fast that I can not really comprehend what is actually happening. The months of research, deciding, deliberating and finally making up my mind.

I am nervous about my new apartment, my new environment, my new job... the new people, the smell, the food... I keep telling myself that everything will work out fine because if I survived Japan, Indonesia will be no different. I am wrong, right? I am prepared for the initial culture shock (never undermine this potentially deadly disease), the compulsory course of diarrhoea that all fresh-off-the plane Indonesia newbies will experience, the stress of making the apartment a home and homesickness. The last being the most potent and the only one without any real antidote... suffer in silence. Hail pain.

Tomorrow... actually, it should be today. Gosh... not often that I render myself speechless.

The first hurdle of the year 2007: Saying goodbye to the Tans... especially the double Ms of Mummy and Mal.
The second hurdle of the year 2007: Pray tell how I am going to lug an almost bursting at the seams luggage, 2 fragile boxes of belongings, 1 filled to the brim sports bag and an oversized tote to Jakarta without making a fool of myself while struggling to balance and stay upright.

Till I blog again... with updates of the baggage 'situation'...

May the good Lord bless you with love, peace and joy...
Take good care...

p/s: I will survive.
