nomad

I came across the word 'nomad' sometime ago, I've done a online search, Wikipedia gives me this. I am not sure whether i understand the term correctly. Anyway, just give it a try to link to this entry...

Some time back in 1997, I took a step out from my hometown, ventured across the courseway, settle in unknown concrete jungle as a nomad. Honestly, this is nothing spectacular, I believe you may had similar experience some time back.

Okay, let's get back to the topic.

Since then, i was hoping around within the foreign land for survival. I find most of places in this land familiar to me as i was hoping to a new nest every now and then. Let me recall, which parts of the jungle which i had shifted my nest (Yes, it is far too expensive to live a cave here ).

1. Tanjung Pagar
2. Ang Mo Kio - Shifted within Ang Mo Kia for 3 times or maybe more?!
3. Woodlands/ Admiralty - shifted Woodlands/ Admiralty for 5 times!!!
4. Bishan
5. Clementi
6. Jurong
7. Tiong Bahru

Being a nomad, i have the freedom to chose where do i want to shift my nest from time to time. But, no sense of belongings. I have to always think about when am i shifting again? Where am I going this time? and the most tedious one, increase in expenditure each time i hop one point to another.

Being a nomad is fun initially, but it makes you feel sick when you see people around you are settling down. Maybe not to you, but I am. I ever wondering, when will the cycle stop. I didn't any answer.

About 2 years back, a major event of my life took place. All the 'I' turned to 'WE' since then.

We think; We plan; We action.

Today, we proudly announce to you, We are confirmed stripping off the title of nomad in 2 months time as we are finally settling down in one location.

Hope you could feel our happiness as well...
