Life goes on… in Amsterdam!

Received the employment contract from CEVA (for Vik of course) yesterday. It was amazing, I am impressed by the relocation assistance for international hiree which they offer. Yet somehow I can’t seem to finish reading the labour agreement (120 pages)… Vik will be back from Berlin in another 3 hours, and if everything is ok, he will sign the contract tonight and send it back to the company tomorrow morning, before we drive to Amsterdam, the place where we will stay from December 2007 onwards. You are right, I am moving soon, again.
All my life I’ve been moving a lot, I think. I was born in Penang, but after birth my family moved back to Kedah, then to Pahang when I was 2 or 3 years old. After high school I moved to Johor, was in Singapore for some months, after that back to Pahang, then Kuala Lumpur. After college I went to Australia, studied, graduated, then moved back to Malaysia. Then I travelled between Malaysia and Germany, finally got married and am staying now in Germany, but only for 2 more months. My next home will be in the Netherlands, or Holland (politically incorrect but it’s ok). Yet Vik and I have decided this will not be the ultimate ‘destination’ of our lives. Which means, we will move again in the near future :p
Well, if you are wondering why Holland? My answer is - why not? :p Vik has got a better job offer there, English speaking working environment, very international, and less travel (yay, can spend more time with Vik). 85% of the population in Holland speaks English, better for me, whether to work or to further studies. I will need to learn another new language though, the Dutch, which seems to me more like a combination of German and English, so it should not be a big problem. Ohh and the first thing I am going to do during next year’s spring is - to visit Keukenhof!
Life is full of surprises, there are so many things out there to see and to learn. I am looking forward to it, a new place, a new life. Good luck Rebecca!
