I moved here in 2008.
I did so because I wanted to run away from a few things in my life that was happening at that time. I was living in JB, staying with my parents and was working in a racist company that prefers it's Chinese employees.
I am half Chinese but that doensn't count. I was also underpaid and was in a shitty relationship, so I decided to move.
I got lost a couple of times before finally settling down comfortably. I have been here eversince, my position in the company I am with changed and I now manages a team of 17 people.
Relationship wise, yes, I am still single but living here, in Kota Damansara taught me one detrimental fact.
That I define who I want to be and nobody else can do that for me.
I guess in a way, moving up here, having my own place etc, remind me of the unparallelled value of a female's independence, how one can turn her fate around by making a simple decision, one as simple as pack up, drive 300 over KMS to a land although not quite alien but is unfamiliar.
I guess I am blessed in a way.
