Jobless Abroad

Yesterday afternoon, I was informed that my job will be wrapping up end of September 2014 due to redundancy and budget issues.

It's difficult to quantify and even qualify my feelings. Needless to say, less than an hour later, I am already looking for a new job. Hopefully in the health and fitness industry, where I can train and practice freely in various fitness programmes that I have learned to love so much.

Just a bit concerned if I can find a decent job given such a short time frame. I have financial responsibilities and this is my primary consideration.

Welcome

This is the blog of Shi. I have been blogging for many years, but I have not been active for a while. My blogs have all been offline for a couple of years now. I am going back online via this blog to document my thoughts, ideas and experiences. This time, I will just be "Shi." No muss, no fuss. I am currently experiencing a major crossroads in my life and feel that now is the time to get things straight in my head by writing them all down. I do hope you will enjoy following my blog. I am a bit crazy and a bit wise. I've been around. Hope to be around for a while longer.
