I received the news last week. I finally got my transfer. My reaction? I just dont know..when I heard the news..I was not shocked, not happy, not glad..I just thought "Oh Ok..I'll go". My friends thought I was a little bit loco. Well, of course, some teachers would jump or spread the news with this funny grin on their faces, maybe cry (emotional bah!), or tell the whole world about it to everyone in the school.Unfortunately, I did not do that. I just work as usual, compiling files and managing the department, rushing here and there to get everyone ready for the school inspectorates..the usual thing I do.
I hate it when they started to ask me about my transfer.which school?you really got it ah?we'll miss you..blah blah blah..I guess I am not ready to leave Miri yet. But, for my family's sake, I have to. Mr Hubby is alone at Kuching and the house really needs me. I've been living in Miri for 29 years and I have never been so far away from Mommy and Daddy (yeah-call me a spoilt brat!)..I mean for a long time and maybe forever! I grew up in Miri and this town is like heaven to me. Argh, I guess it's so hard to leave something that you really love,right? I know I'll be crying my eyeballs out the moment I leave the house. I always love being around my Mom because both of us share a great passion-shopping!! Waaaaa..Mommmmyyy! (I sound like Besra and Nia now..)
The issue now-how am I going to pack all these books and paperworks and files? I have been in the school for 8 yrs now. Imagine the amount of books I have!! My table is still in the mess, I just dont know where to begin. Even the things at Mommy's place. I dont know..I dont know..
Sometimes I think I really dont want to go or not ready to go?
What is wrong with me? Shouldnt I be happy right now??Oh Lord!!
Friends,pls share how do you deal with transfer or when you have to move to a new place?I guess I dont know how to deal with it. HELP!!!
merry christmas!

hey doria...do u still remember the show we used to watch in d UK in the morning after we came from the cleaning job in richmond? do u still remember the song? the bear & the big blue house (ask fely)...thnk dat u shud sing the song to ur frens at school before u leave...:)
Hahahahaha....that would be this song then http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XrL_F6tnT4
Doria, it will all be ok, you'll see. Just think of me, on the other side of the world from my parents.
Declan will be really happy! And so will hubby. Reunited at last!
XXX
hey doria. am happy for you.
it takes a while to sink in, the news. and of course you're having mixed emotion about it. i can understand that you don't want anyone to talk to you about... or ask you about it because you're still dealing with it.
i know it's hard being away from your parents after all these years of being close. but just think about it, you're still in sarawak and you'll be able to go home on a weekend, so it's not going to be that bad... so cheer up :)
really glad for you and you know this move is the best for you and for declan and for your mr hubby too.
you'll be happier once you're settled in your new place and take it easy packing (i know that kind of mess you're talking about,i only had 4 years to deal with, you have 8, so good luck :)
xxx.
Life goes on..remember, your hubby is waiting for you there! Declan needs him too...you will be ok.
Congrats Doria! Peng is right, at least it's still in Sarawak, and moving in permanently with hubby will be so wonderful. Who knows, a little miracle might happen :)
I've moved house quite a few times, and recently I helped my mom pack and unpack for her big reno, so I'm quite a dab hand at this. There's nothing to it really. Will drop you a note soon.
ahhahahha.. now i know where ash's note on fb originated from! hehe.. just follow her advice, she's the queen of organisation! LOL.. ;-) anyway, take it one step at a time, one breath at a time. its a new adventure.. n u will be with bonny!!! that's the most important thing. n your boy wont cry for his daddy anymore. hug hug!
First of all, congrats. At least you get to be with your hubby again. As for me...sob2. Arghhh! don't know when. Last time I just brought home whatever things I really need. The rest, i just called up a courier service and they'll pack all the things for me into a big lorry. The furnitures i sold them to any friends who want them. Some books I donated to the school or other teachers. Don't worry too much. You can do it slowly. I'm sure now you have a reason to celebrate 'balik kampung' every school holidays.:-)
