It's a very good beginning.
I am going to go to Canada as soon as I am able to do so. The target month is December 2022.
I am going to earn enough to be able to get me there. I am bringing all the people I can.
This time, I am seriously getting out.
Today is the 7th of October. Wow. It's just 2 years from now in October that I start the process of moving.
The reasons why I want to Canada will be listed down here. The official ones at least.
Here they are:
Netizens Backlash against PM for joking
The PM was joking about caning those that did not properly adhere to SOP or something like that. The netizens were not happy with the caning with the rotan or caning part. I may not be popular because I disapprove of such a reaction towards what happened. But in the end, let's just say not all Malaysians have a sense of humor. I am laughing and thinking that my PM is such a funny and warm guy when all of them are just mocking and giving the PM a bad time. We know why they have such a reaction and I will not go into the details why it was so. I am still assuming anyway and so if I were to assume and say it out loud, that probably will get me into trouble.
Malaysia not being a writer-friendly place
Let's face reality and the real world here. Malaysians are not known for their talent to write. All Malaysians that have made a living writing novels do not stay in Malaysia. We do not have the opportunity to write for many freelancing platforms because our English proficiency is questioned.
I have always wanted to stay in Canada for some reason
Ever since stepping into Canada when I was well aware of where I was as a person, I have loved Canada. The years that I spent in pre-university are very much missed because it felt like I was living in a dream. I was here. I was studying in Canada. I was hit by a mental health problem that brought lots of problems to me attending class. If I was without that condition, I would have diligently be going to class. Especially, if my counsellor did not tell me that going to Harvard is impossible for me. I still yearn to go to Canada to live. Vancouver to be exact. We are going and that is a given.
I will have a better life there as a writer
As a writer there in Canada, I will be close to the US where all the activity happens. I can attend conferences and meet people there. I am going to have a much better time being a writer there than Malaysia. Sorry it has to be this way.
I can get free books from the library
Books there in the library are all free to read. So I am much better-getting access to all the reading material I ever can by just being there in Canada and making use of the libraries there. I just can't wait for that to happen.
I can see Tim
Tim has always wanted me to live there so that I can be of company. Yes Tim. It is going to happen now. But I won't be telling him until I can really move there. That will be when I will break the news to him. I am not going to call him as often as I do from now onwards. But I will be able to see him every day soon.
I can work in WeWork
The dream is to be working at WeWork at Marine Gateway. Have a place there too. That is going to be so gooood. I can't wait and I am working towards making that happen.
Yes. Word limit is up. I'm out.
