The struggle is not over yet after receiving the confirmation from my volunteer adviser. There are heaps of precondition documents that i have to submit before the actual departure in which i need to allocate a lot of time. I have to smart enough dividing myself between my current project and per-departure preparation. I have to somehow able to arrange a document from the police in between my meetings. I have to call many authorized translator to translate my documents into English in just a day as i need them immediately. I have to spend a day to arrange medical certificate from the hospital. Speaking of which, the nurse from the hospital gave me an ugly big bruise in my left arm after taking 3 tubes of blood for sampling, grrrhhh...
the best advise someone gave me is to take it one day at a time, i am not going to complain. although i have to argue with my boss about my leaving, to bare moral pressure of abandoning the project that i started, to leave people that i love, to pack 2 years of my life in Bali, to sell what i can sell, send home what i can send, and bring along what i really need. This 6 weeks will be a headache, but i will keep smiling.
Pre-departure can be this tiring, but i need to use the most of these remaining 6 weeks to contemplate my 2 years living here, finished what i can finish at work, have a good time and say bye to my amazing friends.

The Beginning
Malawi, yes Malawi…will become my home for the next one
year. I wonder how it will be.
I guess it is about time to move on from my comfort zone and
experience something different.
I finally got the confirmation from VSO Malawi about my assignment
to work with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development in Karonga
District, and this time, I will not turn them down. All part of every cells in my body gave sign
that I am ready this time. I am ready to leave my well paid job and live with a
small allowance, I am ready to pack all my stuffs into boxes, I am ready to say
“bye” to my fancy, sexy yoga clothes and dance shoes, I am ready to leave my love ones and be
myself, I am SO READY to live my very new life, appreciate differences, learn
more about life and grow with it.
Malawi, yes Malawi…will become my home for the next one
year. I wonder how it will be.
