This is incredible. Today I booked my ticket to Christchurch, New Zealand and yesterday I had no idea I would do so. It came to me over lunch...
- My Malaysian friend Mervin called me up two days ago while I was at work and mentioned that he was taking a trip to New Zealand soon. I have not heard from Mervin in many months, we agreed to meet for lunch today. I met Mervin in Spain last May through a mutual friend from Italy, coincidentally Mervin and I also have a mutual friend in New Zealand and he's on his way to stay at her place during his visit. This in itself is an amazing pair of coincidences.
- At lunch he tells me that he is booked to arrive at Christchurch on April 1st, he just got a great airfare. Only US$600 for the roundtrip, that is 50% off. The deal ends on this day. And the travel date is perfect since I am scheduled to take a professional certification exam at the end of March in Singapore, thereafter I have no commitments.
- By the end of lunch I am convinced it is the right step to take, though I have no work permit nor occupation awaiting me, but I have this knowing that it is a good move. Plus didn't I just make a declaration recently that I would find the perfect job in New Zealand?
- After lunch I tell a coworker that I am moving to New Zealand, she says that she has good I.T. recruitment contacts there to share with me.
