I guess that's the part that make the leaving the most difficult, the people and love ones around you. it's difficult because i know i will miss them... then again... I will never know I will miss them if I have not choose to move out of Singapore... Was reminded recently to count my blessings, and 3am in the morning, I do realised my blessings... and they come in all shapes and sizes... they are call friends.

So we are suppose to go for three sessions of psychological assessment before leaving for our overseas assignment. Just completed our second session yesterday. The sessions have been helpful for us to identify stress factors. We did an assessment on our preferences (on thought process) when making decisions and the results show that we are completely opposite. in the way we make decisions. Mr. Chung is an Introversion, iNtuition, Feeling, Perception person. I am an Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, Judgment person. What does that all mean? Mr. Chung is flexible and usually takes a while before making decision. I am structured and am quick to decide. We knew our differences way before this assessment but I guess its helps to hear it from a third party that it’s ALRIGHT to have differences. Don’t see differences as problems but rather processes that we need to go through in order to help us grow.

The fact is no individual is the same. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.

My eyes turned watery after my last visit home.  Not too sure why but I am beginning to miss my mum a lot.  Though our departure time is only in end May, I am already feeling very nostalgic.  

One of my colleagues who is a cross-cultural trainer told me that I have begun my closure here in Singapore – subconsciously. I realized that I am now less inclined to buy things (Mr Chung is really, really happy about this) because we wouldn’t be bringing it over anyway.  I also took time to meet up with friends whom I have not seen for a long time.  Just the other day, we celebrated Zhijun’s birthday at Thai Express.  It was nice.  Just the three of us sharing how He has been good and faithful in our lives.  Then there was this realization that I wouldn’t be able to attend her wedding this November! Nor will I be able to attend subsequent birthdays’ celebration, gatherings, eating durian ice-cream at Parkway and things like that.  

Taking the step into the unknown is never easy - at least for me.  I am definitely going to miss the comfort of my home, family members and close friends.  Despite all these, I am assured of His presence wherever we go.
