Working Abroad

You are right Neil

Really...? That's cool. Hypermarkets here in SG are sure on the rise..and they need more workers in that area. But if you do come here, try not to get influenced in terms of the clubbing scene and all because you can fall into the wrong company if you are not careful. Just a cautionary word there.. I do agree that "missing family" is going to be the top list first and foremost, and it is not going to be an easy task. But if we set the right target and the right reason for wanting to go, which is to find a better life, I'm sure we will find that and happiness as well. I will never, ever forget my family. I will make sure that I will always remember them wherever I go. That's a long time for you to be working abroad and I admire that, truly.

Ive been working abroad for almost 6 years now (total), I know very well that its not really easy especially when you got your family already who are left behind, but I wont stop you either from working abroad. If you will come across with an opportunity, grab it for you will also learn a lot working outside your own country at the same time get the chance to earn more. You are from Singapore right? Its one destination I wanted to work soon. My former colleagues are now working there (hypermarkets).

My friends there told me its better to work in Fair Price than in Giant, I'm not sure though they are from the same agency in the Philppines but assigned in different stores in SG. When my time comes to work there I hope I could get the best job with the best compensation ever. By the way two of my friends there already brought their family with them, thats why I find it good to work in Singapore with this chance of taking your family with you. So being away with my family wont be a problem anymore. I hope soon...

i am not a singer, i am a bassist. my youngest brother is a singer but not the lead one. i also sing, well everybody sings, even the drumer and the keyboard player do sing. my dad plays the guitar and he sings too. i am willing to work again abroad. by that way i can save faster but as of now music industry is not that good anymore. people all around the world has their own home grown talents, so we are having a hard time to get a work abroad.

Wow thats a very nice experience. Being with your father and younger brother in another place. Are you the lead singer? Well its really different when you got your own family already because you will surely miss them. But sometimes we need to sacrifice a little just for them also. Thats what I am doing now...

I never experience studying abroad. It was my dream before but my parents could not afford to send me somewhere else for studies.

I think that going abroad because it is like you have just taken birth. You go to a country where you will have to learn a new language, no loved ones, no friends, nothing.

Its okay because you are with you own family now. What is really hard is when you are working abroad and your family is left in your own country.

Wow 14 years is too long already. You must be very rich by now, lol. I've been away for a total of 5 years already though I go on vacation once every year. I hope at least after few months I could afford to live with my family already in the Philippines.

Im proud of your father. He must have a very nice and good paying job. I would be like him if my job and salary before could support my family. Unfortunately not, thats why I resolve in working abroad.
