I studied in Australia but moved back to Singapore after graduation.

90% of my friends who studied in Australia at the same time as me, and who obtained PR, moved back to Singapore.

I just moved to Australia on 01 January 2025.

I won't be earning as much as compared to when I was earning in Singapore.

Daily eating out is more expensive as compared to Singapore. I was at a Singapore restaurant this afternoon. A bowl of Yong Tau Foo with 4 ingredients and noodles, cost almost A$20.

I eat at home most of the time as my mother-in-law cooks for every meal. So eating out hasn't really affected me much. But would prefer to eat out at least a few times a week.

Can't go anywhere without own vehicle. Lost my independency. Hate this aspect.

Other than the eating out and losing my independency (temporary), and being bored, living in Australia has been pretty good so far. Helps that I'm not working so life is pretty stress free (for now).

Pretty homesick. Miss my mum a lot though.

Migrate or work overseas? Big difference.

Migrate, as in give back passport, most of the time they won't let you back. Just ask that guy who migrated to canada.

Everyone wants to raise kids in SG..cos scared their kids get bullied in school esp by bigger size caucasians and lose out. Asian hate crimes.

Then if send their kids to chinese school in Australia get indoctrinated with CCP. Singaporeans are neither here nor there and our population is too small to have a self-sustaining unique cultural identity which is going the way of the dodo....sad man...really sad.

We're not like Japanese, Thai or Vietnam with population of > 50 million. There's only 2.5 million true blue sinkies who grew up under LKY...frankly I don't know what to do...give up my citizenship and assimilate into Australia and speak like Aussie?

After migrate, they realise all their neighbours are from Pakistan, India, China, Vietnam, Indo, they get sian bcos of cultural gap.

 

[tuxguy]

usually .. overseas country .. the foreigners are not so easily accepted and can find good jobs.

you think every country like singapore so good where foreigners get accepted easily and find good jobs and live good life?

and sg gov still tell its citizens to integrate with them

[li9ht5peed]

very different for my case. i have relatives in malaysia, china, hk, holland, usa and nobody liked singapore. those in malaysia even asked me to join them coz life is easier

i also have friends who worked illegally in australia & usa & thus never paid taxes. life is of course good lol. anthony & trump didn't manage to deport them because as illegal aliens, you have to be very cautious with your movement, communications & whereabouts

I renounced my SG citizenship. Very dumb of me

Now can never go back SG to live and work.

Regret.

Btw, ts did not substantiate his stories with IG accounts or other evidences. I can easily make up 5 other stories with 5 imaginery neighbours and distant relatives for a CSB contest here right?

That's like, half the threads in EDMW

they're very bo liao, just anyhow whack and create threads
Esp those Tiagong, my friend threads

 

[theballstopshere]

i notice that a lot of singaporeans or asians seldom hang out with the locals there. always see their photos among their own type.

is it true?

kinda sad tbh.
