No More India Pls....

Now it's 12.30pm and I'm at singapore airport. There's going to be another 8 hr waiting for the next flight to Delhi. 8 hrs I could've just got a landing stamp and had some walk in down town. But except for shopping and eating, what else can I do in this tiny country in 8 hrs? In fact i don't mind staying in the airport and my time could've been easier, but a coworker came along with me and she doesn't have Priority Pass so even if i want i still can't try the VIP in the airport. I even can't just sit down and read on my own, or sit at bar watching people coming and going. For business trip, I'd rather travel independently.

I remember when i just transferred to offshore dept, I was very excited at being able to fly to india and philippines and other south east asain countries. I don't mind travelling every 2-3 months, for a couple of weeks each time. But I started to feel sick since this trip, especially after I was informed to stay in india longer than 2 wks.

I admit I prefer to live in somewhere clean, convenient, and organized. I like the way that when i open up the door i see hopes. Philippines is ok for me. At least the city is convenient and developed. I'm not saying how bad india is, i still like indian movies and food and shopping, but the weather and the environment just make me smother. Also I have to look out my dress, it's very improper for women to wear sleeveless and shorts. I can't walk in the streets at night alone. There're some more stuff but i don't want to complain anymore. This is just not my type of place to stay long.

I guess it's time for me to have some change. I've been in this job for 2 years and even if I like it and still do, I need some other expereince except for India. Yes i think i need to get some china experience. ALso I have to look for a higher income. So far my bosses like me more and more after I got several big orders, and it seems my promotion will be announced soon, but i've made up my mind that i'm not going to stick on india business. Yes i have to leave this team and this company.

The change will most likely be made after next chinese new year. Until then I will be looking for jobs in the world. Ideally the sales job in some manufacturer and do business worldwide.

Let me get thru this 3 week trip first.
