I'm Still Around

I know it's been quite a while since we've met here.  The last few weeks have been very much about phone calls, emails, quotations, visits to the vet, sorting out who's buying what from my apartment in KL... all because I start my new job next Wednesday.

I'm almost all packed and I've already signed my lease for the apartment in HK.  I"m excited to get back to work, and I'm really looking forward to experiencing a place I used to call home 6 years later, 6 years older and with so much more experience than I could have ever imagined when I first arrived in KL on July 21st, 2002.

Those of you who know me know that I tend to double-book / multi-task / fit as much as I can in a short period of time (in all areas...) and surely enough, with 4 days to go before the move,  I'm currently in Singapore to get a replacement for my misplaced ID card,  I fly out to Bangkok on Saturday morning to celebrate a close friend's 40th birthday, head back to KL on Sunday evening, which will then leave me with about 36 hours or so to finalize the bits and pieces before I fly out to HK.

Maybe it's being older, maybe it's the confidence I feel about my friendships, or maybe it's just the connectivity of Facebook because this time around, with the move to HK and all, I don't feel like I need a farewell to anyone or anything.    

And to think that my journey to KL wouldn't have happened if I hadn't had THAT chat with the boss about doing more, which came about after I was stuck in NYC for 2 weeks 7 years ago today.    

I'm still around.     See you when I get to HK.
