Crossroads once more?

Good news is that I will be going for a GTKY (i guess this to be Get To Know You) session with 2 RTLs or regional team leads the week after next. Yes, short forms are a way of life in Shell. Seems exciting as they have deemed me to be capable of being a trading operator. Now.. about that crossroads, it will be whether i will be stationed in Singapore or with the possibility of heading out to Dubai for a good 3 years.

Rather excited about both options actually. On thinking about the pros and cons .. hmmm.
Heading to Dubai - pros would be -> very good exposure to other cultures and good experience; good money due to allowance; opportunity to explore the middle east, probably finish touring it by the end of 3 years; time for me to focus on my knowledge/career and probably learning stuff; making new friends. Cons would be -> away from family and wheng and all my friends here; no activities with my friends - 1st thing i would buy there would be a PS3 xP ..... hmmmm.

So ... if given the opportunity, i would most probably go for Dubai posting ba. hmmmm. Never expected such a possibility, but seems to be good. Well, thinking about it will give me a better idea of what i want and ... lets not think too far ahead. One more hurdle to clear. =P
