In two days I will end my job and leave Singapore. Dulled by the drudgery and corporate rigmarole, I decided to take a break from work. I believe one should think of other things in life than just career (if one can afford to). I plan to travel, take my fitness up a notch, improve my Mandarin and learn whatever new things I can learn that might help me shaping my career.
Singapore is an amazingly organized, clean and safe country; it acts as a good springboard to visit other countries and it has an atmosphere conducive to fitness enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. Still, the rigidity and inwardness of people here, and lack of countryside (or any natural landscape for that matter) takes all the spice out of your life. It's very easy and natural to get stuck in the groove if you live and work here.
After a long time something has made me excited. I don't know what lies next; uncertainty looms over my head, but most of the time the idea of all that I am about to do makes me very excited. I do get scared sometimes, but such instances are few and far between.
It's time to live a little more impulsive and a little less pragmatic. I hope at the end of it I end up somewhere better. Amen.
