hong kong - love it or hate it

well well, this seems like a dream, seriously. everything's happening but yet it doesnt seems to be real. truly yours is relocating to hong kong! yes yes RELOCATING TO HONG KONG! will be working in hong kong for 2 years and in a totally different role and different team - Data Sales. doesnt it sound exciting? truly excited to move and all but yet am scared as well. honestly, to work and live in HK has been my longest dream and funnily it's coming true now! unbelieveable!

been in Hong Kong for the past 2 weeks. didnt feel much as am still living in hotel and eating on company's expense. haha! so when people ask me: " so how's hong kong?" i cannot answer them at all. but then my relocation date has been confirmed: 10/20/08 and from that day onwards i will be holding a Hong Kong working visa and citizen card. isnt that exciting?? living on my own, looking for my own apartment, everything within my own budget. but this also means that i cannot spend as much as how im spending now. :( yup, although im relocating, i am not on an expat package. it's a local hire package so financially, it is not making sense at all. but i still agree to this as i really want to expose myself to a different environment and seek different opportunities while im still young!!! agree? amen!!

well, for now, i am hoping that the rental will go down since the market has been going down. i know it's not good to gloat over a financial recession but it would really help me financially. also i need to settle my apartment and also to get myself all settled down. thankfully, i have a few friends here ( locals and singaporeans ) and they are very willing to help me. in fact, my very own colleagues are equally willing too! am feeling so blessed BUT i would love to be blessed with money too! haha! i can imagine myself living here, taking the MTR, public buses, partying at LKF, eating at Cha Chan Ting and etc etc etc. hee hee pretty excited, seriously!

i am sooo going to miss all my family and friends in Singapore and am pretty sure they will miss me too. haha but no worries everyone, I WILL BE BACK!!! :) oh on another note, i am going to NY for training in December!! how cool is that. hee hee looking forward to that, totally!
