Back from the Dead

Haven't posted for such a long time...been burrowing myself in my own confines for the past few weeks, battling the demon in me. I guess this is called the mid life crisis? Or maybe identity crisis, health crisis, personal crisis, whatever...

Today, I got a letter.

Congratulations! That's great news but I guess when you applied you already know you may be split in your decision when the time comes. I guess this is really a tough decision to make since it will play a huge role in where you guys will settle in future..will email you. I am both happy for you and sad at the same time haha if you know what i mean..

Momo said...

Yeah I know you mean, but we thot it through, most likely we won't be staying on in Aust if I were to take this up. Hard to make a living there lah...

Dot said...

Congrats!!! It is a tough choice, and I don't envy you. And you know what, even if you want to be a housewife or whatever at the end of the day, after doing this, that is no crime. I believe you can do what feels right to you at the time. And how can anyone predict what your life will be? You may love it and continue on? You may hate it, and find another path. Good luck!

Hi Dot, thanks, i think we should do what our heart and mind tells us to at this moment. Seize the moment! It is just difficult to plan this with two other people to take care of so now we have to weigh all options...keep you guys posted!

There are three kinds of people:
One SEE it happens, the other MAKE it happens and the next don't even know WHAT IS HAPPENING. Be the second person and MAKE it happen. Once decided, just do it and never look back!
