Hello friends,

I'll be joining you all working in this little plot of land.

I'm not looking forward to it. Worked in Japan, Taiwan, China and now finally the place i dread to be in Singapoor.

Singapore maybe rich in money but seriously they are poor; theres no land and I feel its so cramped here.

Its even more worse in Japan but its not hot all year round, but then again if U asked me to choose between Singapore and Japan I would really think about it.

Japan was 2005, so its a long time ago. Right now, Japan is off limits, I dont want to have special kids; no not that special like X-men special. I'm talking about the bad special.

when i was in china, even if it was in black and white it was no of no use. Contracts were only a formality.

yes

ok better listen to them
hehe

but my cousin did it....

depends how you look at it, we definitely have more quantity but do u think we have the quality too?

u should have told company u got no sg license....iits rare ppl get stopped in sg; well, unless u driving like a nut u should be safe.

U better tell boss the situation and give him/her other options like taxi etc.

Dont risk it in Sg.

But have u ever seen ppl getting stopped in Sg by police?
I have never.

Any how many percent does the government take for taxes and cpf per month?

A or B is fine but definitely no C. The UK economy is S*it now. Friend who came back from UK told me the government laid of 20k public servants.

If u had a choice to go China. When I was in China I was having the time of my life!!

I wish I can go back there......

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!

Thanks, you're right time will heal my wounds.

I was thinking about that but I could not pass my CFA.

I am an English Teacher.

Investment Banking is a great field but I dont think I would be able to do it.

The whole world is in a mess because of banking; well thats my own opinion and another story. If you know about the American mortgage fall out and how it happened you will know why.

Oh, one more bit, my major was international business management. So I do know a bit about finance.

Question, If u were to choose between a Diploma from Cambridge or a Masters from Monash, which would you choose?

Thanks.

Right now I am contemplating two options. Get my masters and get stuck in the rat race (work life) or get out and do day trading which entails studying by myself; which I am not good at.

I have been wanting to do day trading since a long time ago but never had the guts to do.

One of my old friends is currently doing it in London. He was a lawyer with his masters; he got sick of working for people and eventually went into it.

He's doing okay.

Talking about trading. I think holding a stock for a long time or short time is an emotional roller coaster ride. We need to master our emotions and have a game strategy. Easier said than done actually.

True, our stories are different. You dont regret what you did, I did.

I always quit and then take a break; then only find a new job.

In my last interview I met a China boss who emigrated to Singapore. The Chinaman boss's English was seriously "jialat".

Anyone got any crazy interview stories to share?

I'm looking for a place too but its hard to get a proper place. I am also moving to Singapore by the end of this month.

When I mean proper I mean a room with:

2.Internet
3. Allowed cooking .....I'm a vegetarian and cook same thing always.....

Good idea!!

Aircond problem solved...
