How to Cope

"In my country we say that ignorance is the warm bath

in which it is comfortable to sit but dangerous to lie down."

OUCHH to me self =p.

When your life is about to change 180 degrees, perhaps the wisest thing to do is to conduct all kinds of research to prepare yourself before stepping into the new, unfamiliar world. But it's also at this time that the one thing you wish the most is for everything to remain the same - the usual morning traffic jam, the regular lunch dates, the silly conversations/arguments on the car ride home, the late-night visits to the local burger joint. Suddenly all those boring, ordinary routines seem so precious now huh?

So what do you do when you're torn between holding on to the current cozy, comfortable life and venturing into the unknown but exciting future? You shut the door, close the curtains, switch on the aircond, empty your mind and get under the duvet with a good book. The best coping mechanism ever I tell ya hehe.
