packing off for a new land...

it's funny how some people are so surprised when they hear that i'll be flying off to seek my fortunes in another country. i mean, hadn't mankind been doing that since the beginning of time? and yet there are still people who are so afraid (and some even opposed) to this idea...

if u're a malaysian reading this, chances are u're a descendant of an immigrant too! unless u're of the indigenous people lineage, that is... so our ancestors made the move a long time ago. they packed up their belongings, kissed their relatives goodbye and set off for the unknown in search of a better living.

and now, in this time and age, where a lot of things, people and places are not so "unknown" anymore, there are still many who view going to work/stay in another land as something utterly outrageous.

ah well...

good idea kg, but will be difficult to keep up the bluff, esp when i keep absenting myself from family gatherings and festivities! ;)

biow, yeah, i suspect that carries the biggest weight.

tym, i'll still be on msn and fb. trust me, you won't even notice that i'm gone!

Just change your fb status to "it's complicated", that will buy you some "get out of jail" time.......but the status better get "upgraded" after that :P

kg, that will only be opening a whole new can of worms!

KG said...

You mean you already have a can (not necessary a whole can left) of worms opened now?? :P

stargal said...

oh, don't we all have cans of worms opened at one point or other of our lives... ;)
