This is my story.

Canada.
Studied in Canada for  3.3 yrs in Canada, weather is f-ed, cold cold cold. During the time there I never went back to Malaysia. I was achieving a lot there. Became well known. There was a price to pay, I had depression. Was very moody and could not sleep. Had to work, volunteer, and go to school.
On the bright side, had a great Taiwanese gf. Lasted 10 yrs and we just broke up. I am very heart broken right now.

Japan.
Since people knew about me and though I could apply for a job in Japan. So I was in Japan for a year. Japan was different from what people expected. Looking in from the outside u cant get the real picture unless u live there.

Taiwan
Taiwan was like Malaysia in a way but way better. People are nice. I was there for 1.5 yrs until i got disillusioned with life and left her to get a grip on reality and life.

China
By the time I was China I was feeling fine. China is an incredible place. Unlike Japan which looks good from the outside but not really great inside, China is the opposite. From the outside China looks bad but when I was there I had a great time. Met lots of cool people. This is where I broke up with my Taiwanese gf.

Singapore
Since breaking up having no support network, I'm moving to a place that is bit more familiar to heal my soul. My mother is in Singapore, so, this is the best place for me. I will be there really soon like next Monday or something. Was there off and on for my interviews.

I have lived my life to the fullest and I have one regret; I lost her.

Living in so many countries I believe I come out stronger now. 

The sad thing is coming from my background now its hard for me to live in Malaysia. I look at this country and I am seriously disappointed. Its not moving forward; instead, its moving backwards. Last Sunday when I was having dinner at a Malay area, I saw a young girl wearing a veil; she must think its fashionable, but she knows not the repercussion of an Islamic state.

Money I dont have much, but stories and experience I do have bag full.

In two years I plan to come back to Malaysia and do day trading.

If if things go as planned I can live anywhere in the would. I would probably live in Taipei/Phuket/China depending on the season.
Well thats my live story. As for now I am waiting to see who is my next life partner!

Sorry if I am a bit long winded!  rclxm9.gif

hi guys, need some advice here. I am currently working in Singapore and holding spass. My company needs 2 months notice period. I just got unhappy with our management and have been thinking of leaving.
I have got few job offers since feb but none of them is able to apply spass/ep successfully for me. But lately i am so fed up with our management style and cant wait to leave. Do u guys think i should just tender my resignation and look for new job in this two months?
My concern is that i dont get approved for my spass. but at the same time, not alot companies would wait for 2 months, somemore if i fail getting a pass, they r unwilling to take extra 3 weeks to appeal for me.
It really puts me in a difficult situation, I want to leave but I cannot leave without securing my future...

I would HIGHLY recommend that you should get your future's job E-Pass/S-Pass.....before you hand in your resignation. It's getting rejected before of the upcoming GE....maybe if u can...just hold on a little while longer....maybe max another 6months hopefully by then the GE would be over, then try to get the S-Pass/E-Pass appealed or apply it again.

Somehow MOM might get the idea that you're not serious in your job when you're job hoping so soon....just my opinion


Your other alternative would be to head back to MY to look for a job......

y go for wired? the wireless 3G would be a better option for me...since its mobile i can take it a longer everywhere i go
also if u r going for wired broadband...u will 1st require written permission from the landlord(if the landlord doesnt already have 1) to have a broadband connection installed. For the charges depends on the package n that you're taking.

Do a search for these local service providers....its all on their website
m1
starhub
singtel

If one were to go for mobile broadband, do consider Starhub and Singtel. For M1, really a big disappointment so far shakehead.gif

Yeah. But let's not talk about speed, what about constant connection and no dropout of connection?

I think you better hold on to your job and keep searching until you find an employer that can apply EP pass for you. Just treat it as another life work experience. Who knows what awaits you in your next job? maybe better or it might be worse.
May I know which industry are u in ?
