i resigned

yesterday, i've submitted my resignation letter. i was hoping that my employer would at least give me a call and advise me with regards to my termination clause... see previous post.

however, my managers came to me first. they asked me where i should go but when i told them that i will leave singapore and i have all the papers ready, they said that there's no point asking me to stay.. aba! at may plano pa sila.. ako, wala na at alis na alis na hehe

the sad thing is, they are not going to get a replacement.. so, all my tasks are going to just one person... who, im not really comfortable that she can handle it. anyway, that's no longer my problem :(

my agent called me din pala.. she said that she was able to read my resignation letter and she asked me where im going, if i happen to be going also to the company that another colleague is transferring to... coincidentally, she resigned just a day before i did and take note, we're both on the same team. going back, our conversation went like this:

me: no, definitely not. i might be leaving singapore.

agent: might?

me: no, will...

agent: where are you going?

me: somewhere in europe

agent: for good?

me: no, i dont think so. i might be coming back. im not giving up my permanent residency so probably, im coming back.

agent: why dont you just take a holiday then come back?

me: no, i dont think thats a good idea.

agent: why? are you getting married?

me: how i wish! maybe i can find someone to marry there

agent: yeah and then you can retire

me: yeah, thats my plan... im leaving singapore coz i cannot find someone here..
agent: and then you come back here and bring your husband.
me: sure, i'll contact you again when im ready to go back..

ngek! as if.. makipagbolohan ba...

thank you LORD!

_hr called

last night. the dete called them and asked for my passport details. but, i've sent a copy of all the pages in my passport with stamps and the hr cnfirmed that she has it with her 'coz she dusplicated it before sending to the dete. we're at a loss of what seems to be the problem. could it be that i have one stamp there with cancelled status? that's my ep. it got cancelled when i received my pr card, for which i also have an ica stamp on my passport... hmmm..

drug screening done

got my drug screening result yesterday. as expected, negative lahat.. syempre, as if naman i do drugs noh. drug addict lang ako whenever im sick especially if i have the common colds and coughs.

but apart from that, i only take my daily dose of vitamin c.. kase nga sipunin ako.

oh well, at least, 1 down.. visa result to go and then im off.

feeling senti time

i know my days in singapore are numbered. but i could not find the courage to bid goodbye or even inform my friendsters that i am leaving for good... yep, you read it right... it might be for good. i intend to try my luck in ireland and maybe eventually, get a permanent residency. we'll see in two years. im hoping that ireland will be good for me..

oh no, there's no definite date yet. im not even sure if im really going for real. of course, a part of me is saying that i have to go and its meant for me. but another half has opted to be pessimistic (or rather, realistic.. i just dont want to fail..)

anyway, i maybe saying my goodbye the date i file for resignation.. which is when? yeah, i dont know nga. a few of my friends here in sg already know pero i could not really plan anything yet talaga. so even if i want to make the most of my stay here memorable, i could not make a move.

there are a lot of things i wanna do before i leave. i dont worry about finding someone to stay in my room or even sending my things to pinas.. these are the least of my worries.

i just want to have enough time to spend with my friends and to explore singapore. there are a lot of places here that i've never been. there are a lot of things to do here that i i've never done. hopefully, a month is going to be enough even if i know that im gonna be really busy at work at the time.

i just want some time....

checklist

its the start of the new year... and im looking forward to new hope, new blessings, new everything.

to start it with, i left all my worries behind (hopefully), back to where they belong. and i started doing something on my checklist.

before Christmas, i sent all my requirements for visa except for my drug screening (well, its as if i am using it noh? plus, its as if its legal here in singapore or in any country for that matter.. eh di nawalan ako work pag ganun).. well, its one of the reqmts for my employment, so sige na nga.

so, i have my medical checkup just this morning for drugs nga. and ang daming wiwi haha i had to drink one bottle of mineral water beforehand hehe

i spoke to my employer too.. and of course, he asked my why.. i just told him that i have intentions and my visa is still under processing. he seems ok with it. he said that if i leave after april, its just one month.. if before april, we will honor the PR contract.. ok, the PR contract is just a month's notice too.. i didnt argue with him anymore when he said that its not terminating whatever that means. he said that we'll talk again after my visa is approved. basta ang alam ko, my PR contract is 30 days notice lang and no penalty basta i leave after 3 months upon PR approval..

so now, i'll just wait.. i've done everything i could. and there's nothing else that i could do but... WAIT,

checklists:
1. submit visa requirements - check
2. drug screening - check
3. talk to employer with regards to my contract - check

for now, i'll just wait for HR to inform me when i should submit my resignation letter. then, appeal to my employer once again to just let me go after 30 days. after that. then i'll just cross the bridge when i get there...
