A few changes are coming up around here, and I have been looking forward to writing about it here; today is my last day working with POSSIBLE Singapore. Unfortunately the new role is not working out for me and after much consideration and hesitation I have chosen to resign, and I am also leaving Singapore next week.
I am going to be rushing next week to get everything ready and it is going even faster than I thought, I’m flying off to India for a month in a week’s time. I am going to spend a month in India, first visiting friends in Pune near Mumbai and then I’ll go wander somewhere I can keep writing and think about the next steps. I am most probably coming back to Europe, as much as I’ve enjoyed Asia and living so close to the Equator, I also miss being closer to home and my family. I’m not certain where I’m going to end up just yet but I’m definitely going to take a couple of months to focus on writing and thinking of a few different options for future work and living location, maybe back to London, maybe Amsterdam, maybe Paris, maybe somewhere else.
It’s a lazy excuse (but I’ll stick with it for now anyways) with everything going on relating to finishing work, starting to organise moving and the handing off of my apartment, and various drinks and farewells with friends, I’ve been off my writing plans published in the past post. I held it for three weeks and then it all started falling apart – I’m still writing every week and tallying my word count but I’ve not kept up the equivalent of 500 words per day after the first three weeks, so I definitely haven’t upgraded to a 1,000 words per days either… I’m finishing work today and will update my writing plans, and focusing a lot more on writing after I’ve left Singapore.
In the meantime it is still a great exercise so far, I have been writing random musings for word count, memories of travels, descriptions of my favourite walks in Paris and London, some paragraphs of fiction from sudden ideas, and I also spend time writing in preparation for a classic tabletop role playing game session I ran with friends a few weeks ago, which was awesome fun! I’d forgotten how much time it took to prepare on one hand, and how much fun it was on another! I think everyone had a fantastic afternoon. I’m not preparing another one for when I’ll catch up with some old friends in Paris in October.
I still can’t really believe I’m about to leave Singapore, I’ll probably write a different good-bye post about that next week. I am equally excited about creating something different and a new blank page in my life, and while I’ll miss my friends in Singapore I’m looking forward to seeing many friends back in Europe!
