Farewell Dr and Mrs Shah Posted on 15/08/200815/08/2008 By Reedz Last night, da missus and I had the pleasure of attending a dinner organised by Dr Shah and his family at OGH, where we were immersed in a gathering of the close-knit Bengali community in Brunei. The warmth and friendliness of this community was very apparent and I felt privileged that they had allowed me a tiny glimpse into their culture. Dr Shah is a doctor at the eye clinic at RIPAS who I think many will be familiar with. After 30 years in Brunei, he will be leaving Brunei soon, to join his son, Arman (da missus’ ex-classmate), in Austin, Texas. I wonder what it’s like to leave after having lived and worked for so long in a country which has become your adopted home… Share this: Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Related
30 yrs is quite a long time. But to spend that amount of time in a place like Brunei which is so laid back and to settle down in Texas can be a big change esp in terms of the pace of life that you have gotten used to for the past 30 yrs. I know it did for me and having been in US for almost 2 yrs now i still haven’t adjust to my adopted home. I just treat it as one long holiday and can’t wait to return to my homeland. When i get home I’d have to be retested by LTD as i feel odd looking right hand driven cars nowadays.
