My next destination is the opposite of paradise. This is where I am doing my ‘time’ for the next 6 to 7 years. I am clearly reluctant to leave from my current location but what can I do? I literally could not run! I even had the airline prepared a wheelchair for me (my foot has not yet recovered).
The place where I will be sleeping, eating, reading, preparing for work, and so forth is so uncondusive, and the condition is just shocking! This is worst than a cell. In case you are having a hard time understanding my explanation, let me try to illustrate the size of the space (I don’t think it is even suitable to be called a room) that I am about to be. I only had enough space to place my buttock, literally. I will either fall into a dead trap, or hurting myself for trying to manoeuvre my way through. And the heat in this ‘room’ is unbearable. Try to imagine being in a sauna room for over 12-hours daily. The very thought of it makes me sick.
Having turned up at work for over 3 months without any pay or benefit, and which shall remains indefinitely, is another inevitable absurdity that I just had to put up with! I am legally stuck in this situation, and there is no escape. You know what, I felt like I am one of those unfortunate slaves during the Qing Dynasty in the 1800s!
Everything that is happening to me now seems so wrong and outlaw! I hope there is a way out from all this misery and uncertainty of life. Sigh!
