All the very best, Fatum
Enjoy this phase and soon enough you will gather all the enrichment and embark on another phase. -
Fatum, Fatum, you will be missed, bro.
As for passing the baton to moi, Gambarimasu.
I've been working long long hours because of the holidays and I am dead tired. I'll write more later. Gotta go get ready for work. Again. Soon this work schedule will be no more because I've made the decision to quit. I cannot stand working with skivvers and slackers.
*Now, back to the Fatum show* -
Fatum
i was thinking and thinking i would like to suggest to you do not go back but stay on and continue. not that Jetta doesn't want to take over but i think u would have easier time moving on. I think ur transition in sg would be extreme difficult. -
I wish you the best mate ! Hope this decision is the best one.. If you ever need anything from Maple Land, you know who to look for...

yeah mate... which airline are you going to be flying with ? Not Air Canada i hope...Originally posted by toyota-corolla:Welcome home! What plane model and airlines is it? -
nope ... cathay pacific ... air canada for the connections to vancouver ...
B747 and B777 I believe ...
it's a difficult decision for me as well ... I know the transition is going to be difficult ... but hey ! I'm young, the world is my oyster ... not that I don't like my life here or anything ... but there are some things in life I have to do first ...
and also there's the personal issues, which some of the forumers are aware of ... perhaps I'm escaping from certain things, but perhaps I just need a break from everything here ... to get out of my current rut ...
I'll certainly be back, for my friends here, from vancouver to uranium city to st johns ... I've already made plans to come back fishing ... -

So Fatum, how many years have you been in Canada, or rather been away from Singapore?

nearly 5 years in canada, 6 years away from singapore ...Originally posted by VSE:So Fatum, how many years have you been in Canada, or rather been away from Singapore? -
It took me 5 years to transit back to SG and took me another 10 yrs to get out. think about moving your world thru CA. once u establish u can visit as a foreign talent.Originally posted by Fatum:nope ... cathay pacific ... air canada for the connections to vancouver ...

Very hard to part with well-loved books. I'm guilty of the same. Each time we move the movers take one look at our books and goOriginally posted by Fatum:yes ... I have already done that ....
