A Wholeeeeeeeeeeeee Newwwwwwwwwww Worldddddddddd
I have had that song in my head for the last few days for some strange reason. I'm not a huge fan of Disney music but I do find a few songs very catchy (such as the one mentioned in my subject line :D)
Maybe it is a "sign" that I'm still in a state of wonder at being in this beautiful and fascinating country :) I absolutely ENJOY meeting new people everywhere I go, finding out more about Singaporean culture, food, entertainment and life in general. Ever since being here I've met Indians, Europeans, Malaysians, Indonesians, Koreans, Chinese, Malays, etc...and this is something I would never have been able to do had I looked for employment in the U.S. or even Korea. Again, no matter how much a certain person may think that she's the reason why I came here (Can you please get over yourself oreddy! It wasn't about you, and I can care less as to whether you respect me or not, don't you see that? I don't even care about your attempts to rationalize your bullshit. What you think and do matter to me not, let someone else carry your emotional weight. Maybe that's why I'm able to finally "run" now, because I'm not carrying you anymore, let Khai deal with that burden. I have nothing against Khai, I really don't. I'm sure he is a terrific guy. However, I kinda feel sorry for him too because he had no idea what he was getting himself into...my problem is with you, not him.) Ugh...bloody drama. End already.
I came here because I LOVE being here and I want to start a new life in Singapore. I not only want to work here but I want to make a difference too. I want to continue to donate my time to the Singapore Cancer Society (even when I'm working full-time) and maybe other organizations as well (I've been thinking of volunteering for some sort of mentor or literacy program in the future).
On the job search front, my hard work has paid off :) It isn't the education field, but at least I will be able to utilize my creativity, experience, interpersonal skills and positivity to help not only my new company, but clients who are looking to grow as well. So I'll have to buy more ties, shirts, shoes, etc (probably a suit too) but if I can wear a uniform daily for 4 years (even though I didn't like it) I can do this too. It is amazing how much attention you get from the *ahem* women when you're dressed up like that O_O. Must stay focused Jeff.
On the personal front...I realize that I live in a country full of options. However, I may be acting on one that may or may not be one? I'm not sure...... I will be having dinner with her this Saturday though. She has intrigued me ever since I met her at my first volunteer function. I really enjoy talking to her as I find her to be very kind, generous, and intelligent with a shy, yet fun-loving demeanor (and very attractive Malaysian-Chinese features). I ah...may be a little attracted to her I admit. We will be going to dinner but I don't know if it is a "date" or not. She did ask me if I was single and apparently she is as well....and we're both educated professionals (well, maybe not yet for me...still need to get my Employment Pass in the next 14 days) and we don't really need anything from anyone. She works full-time and yet STILL volunteers her time and services for the SCS. I'd be lying if I said that she didn't give me a worthy example to follow....and I will.
I like the position I am in and maybe it is a bit too much, too fast, but it isn't like I can't handle anything that's thrown at me. I'm a fighter (for anything but a lost cause) and I don't run away from things. I stand and fight. I will bring this personality trait to my new job...and life.
