Not saying idk nothing is free. But sg living really getting more unbearable lehhh.

And to be fair I know all the first world city has the same problem.

How come so many young people can still be so yolo, happy and carefree?

Everything needs money man. In before i behkan that why hei hei chuan.

From little to big things everything literally needs money. Eat 1 meal want find cheap option also hard. Public transport also keep upz fare though is already the cheapest options.

How to retire like that? How come people my age around me can keep spend money one? While everyday I'm stressing 101 things. And everything is money involved.

Wake up I'm immediately stressed about life. Everyday calculating how to make more money and cut down expenses. Thinking how to invest properly. How to build enough emergency funds, to if my insurance coverage is enough. And all the endless bills. And everything at home also need money. 1 thing spoil need pay to fix. Neighbor from hell do something then need immediately come up with plan B to counter. To looking for next place to move etc.

Is it they got parents support or I'm just tanking too many things alone and too suay? I see ig everyday can eat good food, or do something. Really so much money meh? Even though they are advancing next stage of life on and on also like a breeze one.

I see pregnant mummy everyday party and I'm like huh won't stress about later upcoming all the expenses meh?

I see mothers with kids still can keep go cafe hoping, house, kids all free meh?

I see singles buy 1 bag after another.

I'm really overwhelmed by life man...I can safely say I can feel how a solo breadwinner feels. 我真的很累。我的肩膀真的快扛不起。
If I were you, I'll go take that 2 years Nursing conversion degree from NUS and run road to amdk country once you graduate. Singapore is too stressful.

They also say: "能者多勞" :(
Agree. Ever kena make to tank or indirectly tank due to uncoorperative people. I worked alot then because i like the role. Slowly, i got quite unhappy, plus I was always on tenterhooks even the "volcano is calm". "Volcano erupts again" and i decided to threw letter during their storm (most busy period) followed by the developers' team resignation. 💩 boss kena s**t storm, one of the colleagues who later resigned told me they have to outsource people to help 🤭 and everything all in a mess

All you need is to meet a 贵人 and your life will change forever.

Hope you find one soon.
Didi meimei even a 千里马needs to bump into 伯乐

More ever so lay people like us
If we don’t don’t something and strive to change our situation bit by bit that we didn’t enjoy, then we just got to hang in there till it passes or it grows worse …or we get used

So the saying also means one has to become a 千里马 then u can be recognised … the saying goes .. opportunities comes disguised as difficulties but it is the rare few who can harness them while rest of us just see them as shi t n trouble.

if we can’t change a thing we can change ourselves


To take degree nursing you need start with diploma first. Means another 7 years.
I had a fren of fren who met with a sexual assault. After the episode she could not let go of the trauma for quite a few years. She quitted her well paid job n hermit for a long time until I thought she migrated or sthg .
After that she suddenly announced to us she going angmoh land to study medicine.

I think she studied for n years from scratch… am not sure but her degree was language or literature related , non science non bio related. And one fine day she announced she completed degree n working happily.

one time she posted in fb she got married to cute cute bbfa there in foreign land turned own home. N made her citizenship there. From her trauma to her working happy I think got <10 years lor .
So meimei , yes it will take long to study. But if you want it enough … 有志者事竟成💪🏿💪🏿🙏🏿

If you got a degree already plus you got take science in "A" level, only take 2 years to finish.

If you cannot meet the above requirements, then go for the 2 year diploma.

The above is for mid career people like you who wants to switch to nursing. Only 2 years for each qualifications. Some more they pay you a stipend when you study. Think you will need to be bond with the organization who sponsor your stipend, but I know the duration is not unreasonable. Good for you to build your "experience" and make it easier for amdk countries to accept tou. Given your age, you got time.

The link is here.

End up only double burden

Have you thought of becoming a therapist? Social work (not the type help poor people access services but counseling and talk therapy for mental health). Or Psychologist.

You might be the wounded healer type know how it feels to be down, mood depressed, anxious etc. Then can empathize and help others.
