Choose this way or the other? Uhm, no! the other way better or is it? hmmmm...

Well, Dubai is now in a matter of really signing up the contract or not.

Yeap, I got the offer. In fact, the senior and I got accepted. It's a speechless, most exciting news ever. But as time takes on, as you think more n more, as people from different kind of level advises you and share their opinion, I'm left with more doubts than a straight direction.

On the whole.... I really want try something new in my life.

"Take the road less taken"

I tell you, I learned this poem back in form 4. It was in our literature syllabus. I believe that almost everybody is fond of this well-written poem. Because there must be at least one point in anyone's life where it is a must to decide. To decide which road to travel. And this poem reflects the situation.

ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference


Robert Frost

Well, I always dreamed about going overseas. I even thought that I will forever stay at my current company or I'll be working out of here. It's either one to choose. No other diversions. I strictly abhor another "Chinkee" based stingy company. I rather be called jobless than joining them. See...I need this spirit to fight back. So, that, people won't look down on me. So, that people don't think that I'm too young to fight back. My senior told me; "you got to fight when you have to. You can't be naive and be plain nice all the time". It makes perfect sense.

Now, I am blessed with the opportunity. It'll be silly of me to back off. I don't want to regret when this is exactly what I've been waiting for. To travel far. Try something new. Check on my capability to work in a big company. To evolve. To earn big.

What waits ahead of me are the two time-bombs; my parents and then comes my boss.
