I studied in NZ and lived and worked there for total of 9 years. Sometimes ppl asked me why I bother to come back since lots of ppl are eying to migrate overseas. I guess I have different priority at that time which makes me come back. (Even now I am not in my home country!!!)
So, have you thought of migrating and what makes you want to migrate, share your thoughts here.

to add on, home loan rates is killing us.
salary still no change. CPF % still no change.
Theo9902
06-07-2006, 02:11 PM
actually salary no change is incorrect. As long as the salary increment is less than the inflation rate, then we technically are experiencing pay cut. Worse is no increment and Worst is the real pay cut or retrenchment :(

Very tough Qn man...
I stayed in UK for 3 years... I like the cold weather there...but every thing closes after 5pm except the pub.
I like Malaysia for the discus there, but being a chinese would i be a minority ?
I like Australia for the fantastic fishing and the topless beaches there :p , but i will miss out on my friends in Singapore
I like Europe for the scenic and historical sites, but i can't speak their language.
I think if i have the money, i will continue to stay in Singapore to eat cha kway teow, and have a holiday homes in the countries i mentioned above.
