Going to Singapore
I am slowly but surely counting the days until my vacation gets here. I am going to Singapore for two weeks and if all goes well I might end up moving there. My company has a branch there that I could relocate to and I know it would get approved if I put in for it. They are always looking for people to go overseas but most of the people don’t want to relocate their families. I am single with no kids so that doesn’t apply to me.
This is all in the preliminary stages. I am just thinking about it and haven’t told anyone about it. There are a lot of things I would have to consider as it isn’t as easy as just liking the country on vacation and then moving there shortly thereafter. I would need to find out how to apply for PR in Singapore and a host of other things before I would even consider asking my employer about it.
I am just ready for a change. I have been doing the same thing going on five years now and need something different in my life. I also don’t have anyone tying me down here like I already mentioned. Sure I have some family and friends and I’m sure my parents especially would be sad but they would get over it. It isn’t like I can’t come home to visit a few times a year. Plus they have my brother Jimmy that lives like two blocks from them. His wife is due in 3 months and when the baby comes they will be so overwhelmed with that they probably wouldn’t even miss me all that much.
Today I want to do a little more research into the whole thing. Right now it is just an idea. I don’t know for example what the living costs are. I also need to see if my company would set me up somewhere. I am going to have to figure it all out soon because if I like it when I go over there I am going to want this to happen a lot more. Who knows maybe I won’t ever come home. I’m kidding about that but it is a small possibility I guess. Anyways that is all for now. Wish me luck and check back for an update. I should have one up by the end of the month or so.
