NewBeginnings101

As much as I amuse myself by referring to life right now as an "unemployment" phase, the more sensible people in my life always remind me that I'm simply "between jobs"; though I would rather say "between countries" (figuratively, of course). Definitely a more dignified way of looking at things, and probably the right way too, seeing that the whole process of resigning and leaving Singapore was relatively smooth. Of course, leaving behind five years of adult life was hard, but let's say I've conditioned myself to not think too much about that. I give myself a cookie when I don't. Classical conditioning ftw.

I wonder if life is just a series of new beginnings, all strung together with random time gaps. Maybe it's how you look at it. For me, a new place is equivalent to a new beginning. I've had to make such a huge leap in the past only for academic pursuits; and now for work. There's never knowing where life can take you, I guess. If anything, I've learnt how to take things as they come. Or so I believe. Haha.
