Posting to China

the first thing I was asked when I got to office on Monday was whether I'm keen on a short rotation to the Shanghai office.. many ppl would imagine that i would grab it straight away.. but it took me a while to rationalise and convince myself to go for it..

things that i'm worried abt:-
1. such short notice! its not like i'm going to be gone for only a week.. its estimated to be 3 mths and i was asked to leave in a couple of days time! not enough time to finish work on hand here!

2. i'm going to Shanghai without my boss! erm.. that's really daunting to me.. but i guess its time for me to learn to step out on my own?!?

3. i've to sacrifice my JLPT3 exam!!! ok, not that i'm damn well prepared for it.. but prep classes have started! sigh..

4. for there to be a need to be sent there so urgently, even the dumbest person shd be able to guess that there's loads of shit to be collected there..

5. i know boss is using this chance to test me... so i'm under damn a lot of pressure!!

6. boss really can't give me a definite date that i can come back.. he says wait till i reach there, assess the situation then decide! *faintz*

ok, enough said.. at the end of the day, i decided to challenge myself and accepted the posting.. not sure if i really know what i'm getting myself into actually.. fingers crossed and hoping for the best..

leaving on the JET PLANE on 4 Nov 09..

stay tuned for my adventures in North Asia!
