Duh we're so jelly of you guys making twice as much as us.
It's not an easy decision despite we earn 2.4 times more.
You need to give-up alot of things.
Some maybe broke-up with her gf bcos he leave for SG
Some maybe need to forgone the opportunity costs of his car in Msia while working in SG
Some maybe cannot enjoy our lovely nasi lemak + teh tarik while in Msia
Some maybe lost alot of friends and start all over again in SG
Some maybe feel homesick
Some maybe need to stay away with his/her parents and his/her lovely pet dog.
On the other hand, you will be compensated with a 2.4 times more salaries than your friends working in Malaysia.
While you back in Malaysia, for instance (I just quoting an example) you will be eating a loaf of bread bought from Delifrance while your friend could just be eating a loaf of bread bought from Gardenia.
Or you can afford a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II while your friend is still using just a Vivaz (and it's 2nd hand oso).
So, can you afford to exchange those intangible factors mentioned above to a more monetary asset?
