hi folks! i'm suppose to return to banquet next week. that was where i came from. but my colleague's godma passed away n she has gone back to m'sia so i've to stay put at ah teng till the end of nextweek.
i shd be happy right? well, frankly speaking, i've had enuff of raffles. i really wanna get out and work elsewhere. if my chef fren in UK signs a new contract n continues to work in the UK for another yr, i'll apply for a working holiday visa n just go there, find a job n work n travel. no need to pay tax i think since it's supposed to be work n holiday. if att he end of 12 mths, there's a demand for my job, i can convert that visa into a work permit. so right now, i'll hold back my plans to migrate to australia. i feel that working in england will be an eye-opening experience for myself. it's just an idea. dunno if it'll work out. but i do wanna leave raffles.
i recieved an email from my sydney french boss. he has migrated to canada n now he thinks that australia's better. the bread there is a major disappointment. he has asked if we could work together once again. yes, of course!!! but he wants it done here, singapore. asked me to check it out. i'm also excited by this idea. i just want so much to see him make bread, feel his passion for his bread....gosh i miss the costa family!
i realized that in the last ten yrs of my life, everytime i am at thepeak of doing a particular activity, it's taken away from me. in retrospect, it has made me a stronger person. n everytime i learnt to cope with it. when i decided that ic an't be an athlete when i was 16, i cried at yio chu kang stadium. then when i was at banquet, just when i was enjoying it, i was transferred. then now at ah teng...jsut when i settled down..i've to leave....i gain some i lose some but i win afterall.
this is life....never smooth sailing but if i learn to be stronger....it's worth it.
