You will never realize have much have you learn until you sum it up, reflect upon it and write it down!

New Job!!!

Working in the office is….Quiet.

I can tell that people are curious, wondering, but still they stay calm. No gossips, no questions. Just random small talks.

It allows me to think, to organize, to clear my mind and start thinking again.

Nobody is limiting the workload nor telling me how many cases I should handle per day. BTW I am working for a recruiting company. Yeah, where they help people find company and help Company find people. Very interesting….

This marks my first time working with Malaysians in a multiracial office. It is quiet significant as I was never arranged in this kind of setting before.

Not to mention the commuting to and from work, it was a mixture of ….SMELL!!

From food vendors, to the train and then the light rail transit, It was a scent that transfers and evolves from fragrance in the morning and smoke at the station into the sweat and breath in the middle of a crowded train. I still remember my fellow volunteer friend, Jodie likes to warn people beforehand that she doesn’t like to be touched. “I just don’t like the feeling of being touched!”

Well, Jodie, you should try our train!!! After the dramas of the increasing oil price, this is what I get ….all the SMELL!!!

No more bumping!

By the time I realized, I have been to the airport three times in a row and the last time, I was the one saying goodbye.

It wasn't as dramatic I imagined. I have experienced that feeling before. Its just a farewell revisited, one of the many farewells I have in my life now.

Glad that I didn't regret not spending enough moment with my love ones in Thailand. It has been a special experience and these eight months has shaped another part of me.

I discovered how to become the most down to earth person in the world and spend the least you can on things, and then realize how comfortable is at home that you wouldn't mind spending extra for the comfort. Balancing the two idea can be a knowledge of a lifetime.

First thing I was being nagged about at home was how NOT picky I am with food anymore. All I need is rice for all three meals! Not even considering the variety nor the taste. I will be pampered for the next two months and I know its Okay since i will be going off again on my own.
This marks the ending of Thailand, but another beginning of my journey, soon.
