homeland or fine city?

I am indeed very happy today becoz I have visitors from homeland. yes, DinDin and Sam had finally made it here to visit me since they had been talking bout it long ago way back at November 2009 haha… and the double joy is that finally we managed to catch up with SK! we talked and talked and talked all the way through shopping, dinner, strolling and coffee. there are so much more for us to chat. and one of the major topics is working in Singapore...

SK has been working here since 4 years back and has planned to settle down here as well. as for my case, I’m just temporarily sited here for few months (suppose 3 months but now it’s gonna be 4+ months and hope nothing beyond that anymore).

few years back when I had my first work attachment here (when I thought being out of KL is something new and fun), I was convinced by Terry to work here for permanently. but that convincing didn’t work when I realized I do get homesick dearly.

later through the years, I was again convinced to think about it again since working here is nothing new to me anymore (but this time, it was Terry’s mum who was trying instead). however, I dropped the idea yet again becoz I still couldn’t get use to adjusting my lifestyle here although I do not get that much of homesick anymore.

now ever since I started bitching bout getting bored of my current company to Jimmy, he gave me his two cents worth of advice. since I have working experience here handling private and government sector clients, I definitely do have advantage if I would like to seek new job here. and so happen that Steve can recommend me to work in a publishing company here if I’m interested to try. but I had rejected as I am really not ready yet (at least at this point of time).

today while hanging out with my dear friends, SK and DinDin think I should really consider hard to work here permanently too although they also understand my situation that it’s hard for me to let go everything I’m comfortable of back in KL. after listening to their reasons and motivations, I kinda have 50-50 feeling again.

should I or should I not? to reconsider to work here… I really can’t make up my mind with this mix feeling that I have inside. too much to evaluate, too much to weigh… hmmm, maybe I should get a stalk of daisy and pluck the petals to decide my future :P
