Decision has been (automatically) made

Some were rooting for AU/NZ and some were rooting for US. I was still waiting for US to finalize the offer and I was told that recently there's a new policy in place where they are focusing on localization in US. Being a foreigner, clearly it's a challenge to have me hired there so I was told, "Hopefully we can work together next time".

Was I disappointed? Actually no. I'm very happy with my current department. Excerpt from the mail I sent to my future boss,

"...... team has given me a venue and responsibility to perform. I'm very grateful for the trust and opportunity. Bosses and peers are superb in this team and it's a joy to work with, sans the stress that comes with the job of course ;)

X project and Y project do not happen just because of one person. It's a team effort and I will say this again, within the department we have a good team/platform to support us throughout the project. Guidance from A, B and yourself (in alphabetical order, haha) has shown me many new perspectives on tackling problems in a project."

This is my sincere feeling I have for my department, I owe it to them. By staying, my boss have other arrangement for me so we have to sit down to sort things out. Too bad that it's so hard for us to meet as I'm suppose to fly back this month to file in my income tax but he'll be on a round trip to Indonesia and Australia.

Hope that my discussion with him will be fruitful when we meet at Singapore end of this month. Yeah, you heard me right, I'm going to Kiasuland.
