The anticipation has ended. We are staying. I don't know if it's a relieved or disappointed. Perhaps relieved because I don't really want to go back to Malaysia just yet. With the political instability and the society are not like what it used to be. It is still my homeland at the end, but what do I have there? NOTHING. I don't own a home. My family doesn't own a home. Where do I stay when I go back for holiday? Hotel. With family members on each others' life, I don't think I like the idea. Envy, greed, competition among society really doesn't appeal to me to be part of it.
Disappointed? Perhaps too..we've been living in this country for almost eight years now. A change would be good. Different scene, different people, different mentality. Something new would be good for the soul, I guess. With new addition to the family, we'd be three instead of two. And that's worth starting at new place as new family :)
Why we're staying? Well, my husband's offer has been denied. The first offer they gave him was moving to Malaysia with salary cut and less holiday, despite it was a promotion, but we decided to demand for at least the same package we get here. But apparently it is too much for them to grant it. Although he saw the same job position has been posted on online ads weeks before and they only came back to him two days ago.
Hence, we started buying baby stuff to welcome the newcomer who is so active in-utero, kicking and punching and jabbing as he gets bigger and less space to move around. Mommy and Daddy can't wait to see you. :D
