.. freedom is nothing else, but a chance to be better.

.. this probably would be my final post in Hanoi (maybe another later tonight if i finish packing early), before i leave to Saigon, opening new doors that leads me to a new chapter of my new life. Preparations are made, way before my move, as i am already in Vietnam for one month, and been traveling to and fro between Saigon and Hanoi to for meetings and prepare for our new office. For the past month, i had been given a crash course on the business culture and laws of Vietnam, which i deem might not be enough. I foresee more hiccups once i am unleashed in Saigon.

.. i am glad and grateful for all the new friends i had made during this short period of time. At least, i know, beyond the door that i would step through tomorrow, there would be people welcoming me. Names of course would not be mentioned here to protect their true identity, but to each and every one of you, i would like to apologize way in advance, because i know i would be pestering you a lot.

.. like i have said in my earlier post, freedom is not a word i would use that eagerly, there would never be a chance, throughout my entire walking life that i would claim myself to be free. I am only free when i dream. There is so much contradiction in my life, and i think as for anyone else as well. It really depends on our perspective on what makes everything tick. Often, this perspective has pulled me down into the unknown abyss for decisions and risks taken.

.. freedom is nothing else, but a chance to be better. I think, that is a much better way for me to define it. It might be different for you .. freedom could mean unlimited spending cash, or a vacation, or not having to work .. endless, everyone looks at it in a different way.

.. a newly made friend of mine has put it in a nice way, her definition draws near to my personal definition ( .. thanks! .. like you said, i think we're gonna be friends for a long time),

"Freedom is the ability to express in every form without barriers or borders and across distance .. "

.. in short, we would never define freedom in such way that it is agreeable to everyone. Having a definition, would usually be marred by something superficial and temporary. Freedom .. the ability to express in every form .. often in ways that pleases the mind, but why not in a way as a chance to be better. I am not expecting much reply from readers, but if you strongly believe how you want your freedom, i would want to hear it. Drop me a mail friends.

.. with me stepping through this doorway to Saigon, i am sure it would open up to many other doors, leaving surprises which would entitle me to more exploration of my thoughts and life. As you all can see, from my earlier entry and this one, i am slipping away from the mainstream blogging, to have more personalized content. Blogging has became a way of expressing my freedom, without barriers or borders.

.. chances are hard to come by, and that is harsh reality, and often it comes as a blessing. Always, we give it a miss, but what difference would a chance make to your life if there is no risks involved, even if it means starting all over again.

.. freedom is even harder to define, but if it gives you a temporary pocket of safety, why not?

.. it is never wrong to dream and be free.
