Following My Dreams

This poem was written year 2004 a month before my departure. It was really a dream come true when I hear "Congratulations" after the interview.

I still can recall this event, I arrived in the Renaissance Hotel two hours before my interview, I felt so anxious, I am like getting sick, LOL'z. 

After several applicant complaining how difficult was the interview, I felt I'm dying. When I heard my name, I went straight to the room and silently praying. 

All the butterflies in my stomach were started to disappear as I feel that the interviewer was very nice and very accommodating. He knew, I was nervous and asked me if the room was cold for me, I replied, yes a little bit. I was totally surprised when he got up & turned the air condition down. 

What a relieve to meet Mr. Nice Guy... Thank you so much!

Following My Dreams

To be successful in life is what I ought to be

So I study hard to obtain my degree

Obstacles and trials were on my way

Still trying hard as long as I can be.

Going far away is always my option

Foreign land is my destination

Looking for another job is my intention

To give my family a good living condition.

It seems that my dreams will come true

Got accepted and soon be flying to

Liberated and sophisticated country to pursue

Canada, I'm on my way to see you.

Following my dreams and the place destined

Tickles my heart as I begun to imagine

A new life, a fulfillment of my dreams

Thanks God for this blessing.
