Jobs and life in singapore?

I was quite surprised but was somehow relieved (if this is the appropriate term) at the same time when I read this particular discussion of yours. I have a feeling that we're from the same country but I'm sorry I didn't bother to check your profile to see if my hunch is correct. I've got to admit that like you, I also am married at present. And, my spouse and I have decided that one of us has to sacrifice being away from the family to work and hopefully, earn abroad for the entire family's welfare and more importantly, for our three year old daughter's future education. We both have separate jobs but we still find it difficult to make ends meet. A large part of our salaries go to paying several loans and I think this is the ultimate reason why we can't save any from our pay until now. Coincidentally, the country you mentioned is the same country my husband and I chose to work in. So I was really surprised to find a fellow Filipino (if I'm not mistaken) who also is a mylotter searching for employment in Singapore and not only this, I myself am an Accounting graduate. Well I guess, like me, you also know already that there isn't much adjustment with regards to time differences and climate on these two countries (Singapore and Philippines). Initially, I thought that I have to learn Mandarin or a second language which is used by the locals of Singapore but eventually, I discovered that the most commonly used language there is still English. Another factor which I personally liked about Singapore (even if I still haven't been there) is the fact that it's just three to five hours away from our motherland. Also according to one of my current female officemates, it is just about as big as Metro Manila. Another good thing is that there is less incidents of crime over there and Singaporeans are known to be disciplined people. And from what I've learned from the internet and some Singaporean mylotters here, they do have a Permanent Residency Program which foreigners may apply for as soon as they reach the required number of months of stay in the country. If my memory still serves me right, one is required to have stayed six continous months before he could apply for this. One of the benefits of this program is that you could send for your family to Singapore if and when the Singapore government approves it. Anyway, I do hope that your plans on migrating there push through, as well as mine. Hope to see you there by next year as I still do have a job locally but by year end, the company I'm working with is planning to close shop. Good luck, God bless, and keep in touch.
