It's not a hell hole for the loser, he just loves Singapore, that's why he's reading the news profusely. He misses home. So sad. I donno why he left in the 1st place.2 things that are a must when migrating: deep pockets and a deep desire to leave the perceived hell hole you are in...I think TS with his love for SPH should be missing both criterias..
Actually nothing to b sad about, one thing less spoken in this forum is the soo called migrated singkies who love the pap. There are many overseas. When they hear anti pap talk they get angry n give others a talk down. When overseas I do believe in an open mind. See the good n the bad of singkieland. But for such ppl who love pap tat much. Why bother to even leave?Krafty, pls do the U turn. Your love for Singapore says that u should never

it's true. after dining in 3-star michelin restaurants and drinking too much sexpensive fine wine in napa and paying an incredible amount of money to watch a game in sillycon valley, i realize these can becum very sian and miss the humble and frugal life in sg. pap truly brings sinkie lives down to (dirt and) earth.After one has lived on both side of the world, you will know how good PAP is

For those with kids who cant migrate now , encourage them to see things differently and who knows they may be able to leave for a greener pastures
that's a fallacy, you don't need deep pockets to migrate. So many of my friends and family have done it. and they don'thave deep pockets.
for me i make sure after we migrated then can plan to have baby or babiesKids are the most adaptable.. bring them over as young as possible.
After one has lived on both side of the world, you will know how good PAP is
Australia is a huge country last time when i was still working in the city (hospital) it took me 1hr 15min drive to work and same thing when going home.Anywhere you can long drive and be outdoors. Only aussies can do that?
Finally someone who clarifies that deep pockets is important...oh and those without deep pockets can always join the militaryi been living in Australia 10 years and already became Australian and renounced my singapore citisenship and collected my hard earn CPF money(6 years ago).
thru my own experince is not all can able to adapt to the new country and there many reason why many end up after afew years pack their bags and went back to singpore.
some of the reason is:
1. lost of job couldnt find job after many months and ran out of money
2. cannot get used to the culture
3. parent is very ill back in sg
4. miss the food back in sg
5. PR cant be renewed because some reason
6. cannot adapt to the weather here
when we 1st moved to Melbourne in our hand we have left $1000 (after we paid the Australia PR and air ticket one way) and that is the only money we left. we even sold our hdb flat 1 week before we left for Australia that mean die die we have to make it work because there no coming back.
with that $1000 we need to book a motel and after few days my dear wife went for job interview and we lucky she got a job and could start the following week.
with so little money left i still remember we buy some groceries we cant even afford to buy a 15cent plastic bag and had to hand carry everything with our bare hand.
end up had to borrow money from relative from sg.
what i trying to say is u dont have to be rich to migrate but if u got alot of saving it is good and it will help and make your journey smooth because u have to start a new life in another country. sadly fo us we come from a poor family so have to struggle for the 1st 3 years.
we can see our life changes much better after we settle down like owning our own house and slowly we plan to have a baby (which i dont dare to have baby in singapore because cant afford to feed another mouth and i as a mailroom cum despatch and dear wife a nurse)
i been a full time daddy ever since my baby was born and i had to quit my job in the hospital now my daughter already 6 year old
and the life here is very relax to me everyday is a blessing i get to see my daughter grow and do some gardenning and if i am board i love to go the window shopping or go to Bunning.
after 10 years we manage to own 2 landed property one we living in it and the other one we rent it out.
we are not rich but enough for us to put food on the table and goes twice a year holiday or 2 weeks cruise if no relatives comes to our humble house.
so to those who thinking of migrating my humble advice is have a good plan and have saving and the most important is dont give up!
if i can i am very sure u can too!!!!!
