With less than 4 days left in Taiwan, I'm spending every minute I can with her, despite it being a terrible drain on myself. Juggling between passing on almost impossible amount of teachings to my understudy and rushing off to meet her, I'm slowly dreading my remaining days here. To make matters worse, I'm starting to see the many positive sides of Taiwan now that I'm leaving.
My work aspect is a big problem because both me and my boss is leaving at the same time. As such, there would be no one to consult regarding paperwork issues if there was ever any problem. With the magnitude and range of different procedures and scenarios, I think there's bound to be many cases where they will miss out some steps or don't even know what to do. In truth, I think my store is pretty screwed up now, and the only possible redemption was to delay one of us, but now it's too late too.
Work matters would be easy to forget once I'm back in Singapore. After all, if I had done my best and learn all I could, there's really no regrets about my experience here in camp. I'm in fact looking forward to my next job, which no doubt with my increased experience in life, would be a much efficient and well-controlled one. You see, I'm a perfectionist and I like things done perfectly or as close to perfection as possible. My store is far from perfect, but having that vision in mind is a running engine in itself for my daily routines.
I still do not know my flight timing yet, though it is stated to be roughly in the morning. I should reach Singapore at around noon.
I hope things will get better once everything is settled down in Singapore, at least for the next 3 years.
