When I was working in Total Parco in Pakistan, I wanted to come to Australia to work but I end up coming to Auckland to join Olympic Software. I never thought of coming to NZ to live or work but then I also never thought that I will miss it after I leave to settle in Australia finally. When I reached in Auckland in April 2008, at first I didn't like it much and kind of feeling home sick and even thought of going back Pakistan - home. But with the passage of time, I got use to of the new life style and surroundings. I actually made some very good family friends there and spent two very beautiful years of my life in Auckland - New Zealand.
After two years in Auckland, I accepted a job offer from a company (Professional Advantage) in Sydney and shifted to Sydney in June 2010. When we were in transit mode (preparing to shift), I did not feel that excited about it the way I would have if I were shifting directly from Lahore to Sydney. May be the main reason for that was because I have made some very good friends there and got settled in the country. I also (I can say now) liked the life style very much there. But anyways, this was a decision that I had to make to achieve the objectives that I have in my mind.
Now that I am in here in Sydney, I am missing Auckland more, esp the life with friends there and once again I am going through the same phase that I first experienced in April -May 2008. But I know this is normal with me and I will be back to normal after sometime. At the moment, while we are finding our new street address in Sydney, also finding out that though Sydney is a 'happening place' but it is also one of 'the' expensive cities. But hey, good things come with the price tag that I have willingly chosen to pay. So I am happy to be here and looking forward to explore the city in next few weeks to come.
By the way just one last thing I want to mention that I am excited about. We went to inspect one car (Honda Civic) today, since I need to buy wheels too and I liked that neatly and well kept car. I am expecting to hear from the seller tomorrow hoping to that he will offer me to buy within my budget. I will be a happy man to be mobile again as I didn't have one since December 2009. So lets see if that becomes my car number 2 or not. Fingers X-ed.
