Feel like walking down the memory lane…..pt_1

Life begins a new and it is Ordained for you..

I looked back last 2 ½ years ago and that time i was still thinking whether I should go and work here in Singapore. I kept my options open that time as I was finally free of my obligations from the hospital where my Mom had two surgeries, I promised to my family that I will shoulder most of the hospital bills, hence I was tied for almost 3 years just to clear our accounts. I always believe that good things happen to those who wait. And true enough after reaching the end of the rainbow I found a pot of gold, a golden opportunity. An invitation to work as a nursing lecturer was passed to me by a colleague. That time I told myself, why don’t I just try and see how is it being interviewed by foreigners.. So I did and to my surprise I was pre selected. Gone through all the screening, interviews, lectures and practical demonstration and finally the so “called Board Exam of Singapore Nursing Board” for staff nurses, which I find that even our senior nursing students can ace, I made it! There were only 4 of us out of 100+ applicants. Is that Allahs will or what. I was happy and proud of myself that I passed through needles of test. But then, this will be my first time to work outside Manila and I have a stable job so I kinda ignored it. A week has passed and I received a call asking me whether I am I still interested of taking the Lecturer job. I told the agency, I want to see the offer first before I say yes. I prayed if God wants me to work here, He will grant me my request. I cant believe that almost everything were answered. Am I just being spiritual or what that time aslo, I even saw signs in my dreams of me living in similar HDB’s and MRTs which Ive never seen before. So what choice do I have? I read the job contract and then signed it. A few weeks later, I was told by the agency that I have to be in Singapore by 10 July 06. To ensure my welfare on my first so called overseas work, I sold my old school car which I have restored like 90% already, even repainted it, bought it a new mags and tyres, set up sounds and there it goes,bye bye GL.. I sure miss my GL or Green lantern I called it that cause I colored it pearl light green. It was like my wife. I guess being single you spend most of your earning on something you like.
Nearing 10 July, I filed resignation properly WEF 10/7 and finish my leave as well . So practically, don’t know whether its legal, I was on leave from my previous work but I was in Singapore already.
