Stressed!

I am so stressed and overwhelmed! I wish I never have to deal with all these. Unfortunately, this is stark reality. I brought it upon myself and now I have to face it and deal with it. It is the price I have to pay for packing up and leaving my comfort zone one year ago.

So many tasks...so many challenges ahead...all for the sake of love and its stupidities! To abandon yet another place of familiarity (or perhaps not?) and relocate to a completely new state, not just a city or suburb! It is not just Toa Payoh to Tampines, which will be 20 minutes' drive by car, but a good long 5 hours flight via the damned cheapo and dismally serviced budget airline.

I have gotta find a new god-sent tenant for my landlord before I face the music and the court (blame it on myself for signing a one-year lease too confidently). I've got to sell my car, not hoping too much for a profit at this stage (skyrocketing fuel prices and all). I need to wait painstakingly for the approval of the "concerned" medical board before I can lodge in my visa application, which will then lead to yet another long heartaching wait. And finally, the crucial resignation letter - one that will mercilessly crucify and blacklist me from any future employment opportunities in New South Wales.

I know I may end up worrying too much and inducing unnecessary grey hair. Hopefully, if I am blessed enough, these tricky little pieces will fit the jigsaw puzzle nicely. That I may find the tenant swiftly, sell my car smoothly, be approved of my visa thankfully, and have the blessings and support of my current bosses amazingly. Afterall, I had done the impossible at Newcastle. And emerged unscathed and stronger.

I guess in the meantime, I should just sail the moment and relish whatever the ocean has to offer to me. Before embarking onto my next new shore.
