These days I was occupied with high volume of workload and I realised that I have not started to pack anything into my luggage yet. Just in case you are not aware, I will be heading to Birmingham on next Friday - 15th April 2011 and my luggage is still empty. OH GOSH!
At the end of March, I was being asked by my team lead if I would like to give it a try to work in UK because currently there are many UK projects coming in and there is insufficient human resources in UK at the moment. However, I was not informed about the exact duration of work period and also the allowance. (I was quite dissappointed when they told me that I only will have 20 pounds daily - No more LV jor!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!) Before that, I recalled that I rejected the offer three times before they told me about that I need to stay in Birmingham for at least 4 months. Somehow or rather I was influenced by the persuasion of my team lead. LOL. And at the same time I do feel like giving myself a try to experience a different working culture in UK. I guess this is how my decision being made. So here I go. =)
At first, I think most of my friends and family are worried for me because I will be travelling alone and I will be all by myself to survive in UK throughout the 5 months of stay. I know I am going to feel lonely and I know I am going to cry!!! XD
In fact, I am a crying baby. LOL. I know I will be going to work by public transport or maybe walking. I might be having breakfast/lunch/dinner by myself. I will do shopping on my own also. Travel maybe? LOL. As of now, I think there are a lot of uncertainties. I don't know what to expect when I was there, but I guess I just need to prepare myself for it.
I told someone that I am a good 'Adapter'.. LOL.. I just gotta have faith in myself.. Please pray hard for me!! :D
I will keep everyone posted about my life in Birmingham!! xoxo
