My or Sg

Why the hell on earth i choose to work in Sg? First thing come to my mind; i would rather get paid double for the shit that i do. From my point of view, regardless of the places you work in, you will still have to face the stress and boring routine (ok it could be challenging in a way).

Did you see this during the F1 Race organized in Sg?

All these while i heard alot of the benefits working in Singapore. Yes, especially when it comes to shopping. Everything is 50% lower compared to what they have in Malaysia. Same thing applies to UK. The Clothes is 5 times cheaper compared to Malaysia. How come i dont have the idea of working in UK? Same thing goes to grocery shopping and Eating out. In short, with the same amount of income, you will be able to get more in Singapore. This is the beauty of it. Actually there are more reasons, let me list out in numbering form;

1)Cheap Food - a Bowl of Noodle in Singapore cost 2.50 SGD whereby in Malaysia cost Rm 4.50

2)Great Shopping experience - Oh hell Yeah, Everyone is Holding a Gucci, LV or Burbery HandBags. Its so cheap ya?

3)Convenient Public Transport - Heard of a phrase sounds like this *MRT brings you to each and every corner and dont need to be afraid there isn't any public transport. Where ever there is a road, SURE there will be a bus pass by. (True Enough)

4)Very Peaceful - It is very traumatizing when it comes to crime rate in Malaysia. For the duration of 6 months i heard of at least 5 cases of robbery. Nearby Office, Neighbourhood, Friends, Relatives. (Pepper spray does not work at this point of time. They comes with sword -parang-!)

So Much for that, What i really concern is the other side of it. This place given me so much negative impression about the country itself. (Heard and saw)

Chinatown

What about the ugly sites?

Undeniable that the food was indeed cheap in Sg. But back at hometown country, the whole complete menu from Chinese Restaurant, Seafood, Malay Store, Mamak, Japanese, Italian, can be found here. (More familiar with the area here, thats why i would think that it is easier to find it here). In the case of variety, there is no question that you wont be able to find it in Sg. Just ignore the Cost of it, everything will be alright.

When it comes to branded stuff, yes definitely from figure wise, For the same item, same shop, you will find Lower Figure at Sg as compared to Msia. But then, the question is how often you will get branded stuff? My fren once told me; So much of branded stuff that you have got, AT the end of the day, He or She will be going back to the HDB still. This of course not referring to me!
I even heard stories like, a person would actually skip lunch and breakfast (giving reason - on diet) just to get a branded handbag. So desperate. Come to think of it, what is the point? What will you get from all this luxury? Status in society? or people will highly rank you according to your valuable?

-I personally think that, so much of stuff u got, but there is not much money in your pocket. What is the point?

-Yes i understand that people pay more attention to the surface, to what they can see with their eyes, and this is the reason, cosmetic products are growing like mushroom after the rain :D Tons of them! But again, is this necessary? Natural is the beauty side of it K.

When it comes to public transport! Oh Gosh, You will never know the amount of people take MRT as their main mode of transport. Yes that include me as a visitor or even as a foreign worker. The chances of you getting a sit in MRT is very slim. Unless, you start from the end of the train station. End of the day, you will still need to stand on your way back :D (Karma)
Of course MRT itself will not stop right infront of your office. Therefore, other public transport is required, BUS. Then it comes another round of squeezing and pushing in the bus. (I am talking about working hour)

Same thing goes to the bus, it will only stop at the bus station and not in front of your office. Some office is about 5-10 minutes walk to the bus station.
In Conclusion, you will need to Take MRT, BUS and WALK everyday. To become a routine, this is very tiring. (VERY VERY tiring) no joke.

Technically speaking, it is much safer to walk on the street in Sg compared to Msia. No question about this. Raise both hand to agree with this statement.

Home Sweet Home. No place will be better than home. I remember there is a quote saying that;
*I enjoy going for holiday, because i want to get the feeling of coming home*

There are pros and cons depending on individual needs and expectation. The way you look at things, the way you live up with it is what makes up your day.
