On the move again....
I've been so used to being based in KL.... for work I mean.... the last time I had to travel was to Bangladesh, and if my memory serves me right, I returned in August 2007, before my a bit over a year posting to Shell began.... and I must say, I had become pretty set in my ways, and had started salsa seriously again, not to mention having another go at tango....
I was informed sometime last week that I was being seconded to another department, for a national project.... oh no, I thought, that's not good, because if I'm not wrong, the team is based mainly in JB..... And my worse fears were confirmed on Thursday afternoon....
I am to be seconded to this project until June, and the team commutes on a weekly basis to JB.... At least I come back for the weekends, but its exhausting to be wake up so early that I have to leave the house at 5.30am, and arrive in JB, at a time when on a usual day, I'm just finishing my breakfast before walking out of my house to go to the office!!
I was thinking of having dinner with my grandmother at least once a week.... after getting here, I'm now told that we work late every day, and have a late dinner, which is why everyone is getting fatter..... I'll save that topic for another day.....
I'm missing everything there is to miss about home, my family, my girlfriend, my bed..... haha, though I suppose its a matter of getting used to.... I dealt with it pretty well all those years before August 2007 after all.....
I guess I'm going to be even better acquainted with JB, since I'm going to be here for quite awhile, perhaps I'll go and see what Danga Bay has to offer..... hehe, but one thing is for sure, I know I'm going to love the food here!!!
