My roommate of a year an a half left Singapore and her job for good. I told her every end is a new beginning. I guess I was consoling myself more when I told her its gonna be ok..You gonna live a better life, happier..I had been with her in the last few days when she was going thru a phase..of wondering whether it was the right thing to leave the job, the money, the traveling, the clothes, She knew she was going back to where she started from.

Perhaps, its a circle..The place which appears like an end might just be the beginning.

I did learn two things:

Quit only when you have enough money to last for 5 months at least. And if you haven't saved anything its still ok if you ve a boyfren like pankaj who tells her to take her time to figure things out, supports her meanwhile..or like Sijina who s getting married next month. She quit as well. But I d rather not depend on a man. A man with a 'no strings attached' mindframe. Or any man for that matter. Robert who keeps asking me to come back & marry him or TK who is still hoping I d come back to Manipur one day. No man. Not even my father. M*#^!%#@! men.

Second is Know why you re quitting.

I need to look for a place to stay if I am staying here for another 8 months.

I don't know whats next after 8 months. Tokyo.India.America. Mom obviously wants me to quit if I m unhappy here n not to ruin my health flying all the time. She mellows me down.
