Cleared.for.Take.Off

Here I am in my *little* workstation, fulfilling my last month's notice in the company. *HuRRay!* After being stagnant for more than a year, getting runned-down on-and-off and constantly feeling like a zebra among horses, I'm finally ready to hit the road again!

My situation is like a jet circling the airport grounds looking for an available runway to take-off. I have the capacity and fuel to fly the extra miles but I just need to get on a runway. I'm now cleared for take-off. The runway is just infront of me and once I'm aligned, I will be able to fly - in fact I hope to soar through the skies! *Ok-ok. Watched Stealth too much.*

I didn't noticed that "Sad" was painted all over my face and all over my blogs. Recent regards from my friends made me realised that! "Are you happier now?" - that's the common question I get nowadays and it made me think, "Was I so unhappy before?". Reading back some of my previous blogs I did notice that I've lost some of my colours. Maybe, I have just grown out of that powerpuff girl thingie. Ok! I will try to bring back the old me again.

Where I'll be heading will be full of excitement and challenges (and not to mention stress). I'm not setting any expectations this time to reduce the chances of disappointments. The feeling I have now is exactly how I felt when I got my first job. Excited and Anxious. Nine years of struggling in the industry to get me there. I feel like I've just graduated from corporate school.

I was told by one of my ex-boss once,

"Joining a new company is like a leaf dropped into the river. Initially,
the leaf may hit the rocks and the banks of the river but as time goes on, the
leaf will go with the flow."

Gosh! It has been so long since I received any wise words from my superiors. I sure miss those ex-bosses.

My last day here will coincide with the country's independence day *MeRDeKA!* - what a way to celebrate and what a way to remember it! And after that, my afterburners will be burnin' hot Hot HOT! ;)
