No worries…
August 8th, 2003Part of the reason why I don’t feel particularly perturbed about forcibly uprooting my life and transplanting it some 17 time-zones away is the knowledge that so many others have gone through the exact same thing. It’s similar to the way NS didn’t feel so daunting when I knew that Nicholas had done it, and Theng Kuan had suceeded.
After all, it’s been over two years since the majority of my friends relocated to London, Melbourne and New York, with others settling in Beijing, Chicago and Edinburgh.
If so many of my contemporaries have done it, and not only survived, but flourished (so many happy stories and pretty photographs), then so can I, right?
PS: As Kok Heng just pointed out – 17 days to go!
