A new beginning

Right after my graduation, I joined the rat race, started my life as "running rat" in Kuala Lumpur.

My work life was simple, woke up at the odd hours, started working from the odd hours and finished working at the odd hours again. My body clock was unique from my peers. I did not have much issues with squeezing in the crowd within the LRT, I do not need to face serious traffic jams as what others do. My lifestyle was a lot different from my friends & my colleagues in different departments, which was due to my job were to stay in the “aquarium” (that’s how people called it) and to serve the customer on 24x7 basis. What a boring life! Slowly, I was distanced from my friends, I was getting more and more isolated from the community, and started to fill up my surrounding with my own echo. OMG! How pity was that.

1 year and a half down the road, I have decided to call it quit. I came across a job offer, which the first criteria was “to work overseas”. Sounds like a great deal! I was longed to leave the suffocating working environment in “aquarium”, especially when this opportunity allowed me to stay overseas long term! Upon confirmation, i tendered my resignation letter, counting down for the day to come, for me to leave KL and the damned “aquarium”. What a relief!

During the 3 months of notice period, i started to offload my stuffs in KL. Finding new tenant to take over my room & my furniture, and had multiple yumcha sessions, saying goodbye to my friends. On the last day in KL, I drove back to my hometown leaving my car back to my family and prepare to fly 2 days later. I was grinning from ear to ear, even in my dream, hahaha!

So the day finally came! I took Thai Airways from the Penang International Airport, and began the adventurous journey to Bangkok! 

And my travel journey began!
