I am not sure why i was having insomnia. I think the stress or excitement must be too much due to the impending departure. I guess after three months of idling and non-productive time at home, my threshold for stress has decreased a lot.
Anyway, i finally got it done today and now i can enter NZ for work anytime.
After i've gotten the visa label, i met up with my three ex-comrades (ex-little boss, the IT manager and the IT consultant) for lunch. This would be my last meal with them before i leave for NZ. So, after lunch, instead of farewell handshakes, i gave each of them a hug. I would certainly miss those days lunching and working with them.
Then i went shopping for some stuff that i want to bring to NZ. I have been looking for a luggage in JB and could not get the type i wanted. I thought i could get one in SG but i still didn't manage to find one today. Sigh, the hunt will continue tomorrow and i intend to check out Johor Premium Outlet, which i've not been to before. If i still can't get one there tomorrow, then i'll just have to compromise and get a different type.
I had a call with my boss today and he has verbally agreed with my plan - to depart on 27-Nov or 28-Nov and commence working on 3-Dec. This means that i am only left with about one week to get ready, and that includes getting a temporary accommodation in NZ (which would require his help). I also need to meet up with quite a number of friends and relatives for farewells. There are so much to do in such little time. No wonder i am so stressed.
Oh well, my long holiday is now in count-down mode already. I will need to re-start my engine again.
I will end this post with Angel's nice comics - thank you for the fantastic drawing and encouraging words.
