So it has been confirmed. I am heading to Perth for my well deserved break. Excitement is in the air with me grinning all the way to the toilet. In all seriousness, this is not just any trip for me. As happy as I am ashamed, this will be my first maiden self paid trip out of Singapore. For 25 years, my trips are always paid by my parents. I won't dare say that I have actually earned money enough to pay for a holiday. The past 6 months with Immortal was not the easiest way to earn money. With inching growth, I have understood the difficulty in making money.
Many at my age have already been paying for baby trips out of Singapore but still, this is a trip from my hard earned money. From carrying cartons up 4 storeys to pushing for a higher taste level, not a cent was easy to come by. At this stage, I find myself growing to understand what life is really about. Can never understand when my dad comments that I have actually grown more matured with this job. Have I never been mature? The one thing I find a change with me is my haughtiness just months back. Taken heed to how the world really is, I have to swallow my pride on many occassions. There is never a shorter way out to learn and earn the respect of people. No matter what you have created for yourself in the past, it is back to square one with a new employer. Proving yourself and capabilities, not as easy as attending classes of a unit. It takes patience and sacrificing if not something, everything.
Leaving on a jet plane, not first class but in class of my own and knowing my friends are just as excited as I am.
Thank you to all my friends always being there for me. I will always be there for you, and that is a promise I will not retract.
