SG pa?? or Oz na?? Please help!! :)

iamyourangel08

hello everyone,

i would like to ask for your expert advise regarding our present condition.

here's our story..

during the process of our application,my ex bf then now hubby are both working in SG, but i decided to resign na after we finished all the requirements like coc,nbi and medicals kasi we are also preparing for our wedding by that time (our wedding was held last nov 8)..so 3rd week of Sept we already submitted all the necessary docs to our agent and waiting na lang for our visa grant..3rd week of sept also umuwi na ako ng pinas..naiwan si hubby dito sa sg to continue his work and plan na uuwi na lang siya last week of october for our wedding..came last week of oct nagpaalam si hubby na magleave for 3 weeks for our wedding..leave approved naman..everything went smoothly,visa grant received oct 17, wedding went super fine until after, officemate of hubby texted him na their site has been closed for good na..so in other words wala na silang trabaho..and wala na kami parehong trabaho na babalikan sa sg..hindi pa kinacancel yung pass ni hubby until makakita siya ng bagong work..

Now sobrang naguguluhan kami,,ano bang magandang gawin,magapply pa ulit dito sa sg or dercho na kami sa oz?naisip kasi namen na same scenario lang din (and mahirap ang pass approval sa sg ngayon considering na naghihigpit na sila sa mga foreigners)..parehong magapply lang din kami and magsstart ng bago .. kaso kasi we are only able to save roughly 12k aud and gusto sana namen dagdagan yung baon just in case hindi agad makahanap ng work sa oz. is that amount enough to start anew sa oz?

any words of wisdom to ease our current situation will be much appreciated..

thanks everyone!!!..

God bless pinoy au!!!

kung ako - long term path na - Oz. 12K - should be enough for a simple life / humble beginning. Mukhang wala pa kayong kids so it will be a challenging and exciting adventure dun. Just imagine how fulfilling it is kung meron na kayo trabaho pareho after a few weeks.

Everything will be alright, pinoy tayo, may agimat ang dugo 🙂 --- Pray and trust God. [-O<

thanks @rareking sa advice.. Yun nga din ang iniisip namen ni hubby.. actually andito kame sa SG now to settle some stuffs and to look for new jobs pareho.. But honestly nasa isip namen is look for jobs na sa OZ.. kasi mga pgdting dun is hahanap dn naman ng job.. same situation lang.,

Joke nga namen ni hubby na sa job opportunities sa oz na kame magsend instead na sa jobs dito sa SG.. Siguro nga more excited kami sa OZ than finding a new employment here s SG.

ikaw @rareking kelan mo plan pmunta dun? batchmate tayo diba..? hehe..

i guess we need more ng lakas ng loob for our leap of faith..

rareking

@iamyourangel08 - oo batchmate 🙂. June pa kami para tapusin muna yung school year ng anak namin. June para saktong winter hahaha. kitakits.

go straight there 🙂 if ever, hanap kayo ng odd jobs to supplement your funds 🙂 matagal na ba kayo nagtrabaho sa SG? di ba meron parang funds na makukuha pag aalis? I forgot what its called.

iamyourangel08

Thanks po @bookworm for your thoughts..

actually 2yrs+ pa lang kame ngwowork dito sa SG. we are only work pass holders.. yung funds na makukuha if only for permanent residents because they have CPF contributions ( same as SSS sa Pinas ). They can withdraw the funds once they withdraw their permanent residency here. but we don't have it.

Yun din po ang iniisip namen. to engage in odd jobs temporarily para makasurvive. Pwede nman po cguro du mag part-time jobs db...

Problem dn po kasi namen is wala kame kakilala sa OZ which makes us more anxious..

San ba kayo sa AU?

iamyourangel08

plan sana namen dati mag initial entry sa sydney..

pero baka we might look for jobs na din since nabaho yung situation namen..

Mag australia na kau. Financial readiness is important but even more your determination. Go na kau for sure nandun na ang isip at puso nyo sa oz. i am still in sg now but i have a more important reasons. Wala na kau work na babalikan sa sg so no point. Go na kau sa Aussie

If I we're in your situation, mauuna na siguro ako (guy's perspective) then I will try to look for whatever job that I can find just to sustain my living while looking for a job that is inline in my profession then pauwiin ko muna sa pinas si wife. This way mas mahaba ang itatagal ni lalake sa australia kasi sarili lang ang papakainin and mas malaki din ang chance ni lalaki na makahanap ng oddjobs because of the physical traits ng lalaki (unless mas malakas ka kay mister 🙂 ). Once na nakahanap na ng work si lalaki, papupuntahin ko na din agad si misis. Sa mga nababasa at kwento ng mga taga Australia e hindi naman mahirap makahanap ng work basta wag lang mapili.

Anyway, same lang naman yung situation niyo whether sa australia or singapore e. kasi continous na magdedeplete yung money niyo hanggang makahanap ng work so why not do it directly in Australia. 🙂

newly weds pala kayo.. congrats! go na kayo to AU.. kayang kaya nyo yan.. i think 12k is enough and possibly magkaka-odd job kayo nyan while looking for your line of work..

The longer you stay in Singapore, the more you miss out on opportunities in Australia to start your career and build a nest.

Kung nanghihinayang talaga kayo sa pera o tingin ninyo kakapusin kayo ng baon, pwede niyo rin gawin na may maunang isa - in our case nauna na ako dito dahil yung fiance ko tatapusin pa contract sa Singapore (teacher siya, tatapusin niya yung school year). I could've stayed longer pero tingin ko mas mahihirapan kami magsimula dito kung sabay kaming jobless. Guess what - I'm earning a lot more here than I was in Singapore for the same job. Plus nakakuha na ako ng rental unit tsaka kotse, pag dating ni partner tsaka ng dog namin medyo nakaready na lahat.

thank you po guys @vhoythoy @RED @goreo ..

yup newlyweds po kame.. kaya po medyo ndi pa sufficient ung naipon namen.. given also the situation ni hubby na unexpectedly nawala yung work nya. Though after ng wedding pa sya ninotify ng company about the sad news, nalungkot kame aftr a very happy wedding. imagine the twist of fate..

ayun din po yung iniisip namen na drecho nlng sana kame dun. but we still need to go here at sg to settle some stuffs.. yung mga gamit dn kasi namen andito pa..

narealize din po namen na while staying here sa SG na mabbawasan dn ung funds since very expensive po na mgstay dito.. iniisip lng dn po namen ung settlement funds pagpunta sa oz kaya hesitant kame.. haay buhay parang life.. hehe..

@rareking hello po... Ask ko lang magkano pala ang estimate okay na na baon to aussie for a couple+1 baby? 12KAud seemed malaki na nga for me, di pala..

wizz

@iamyourangel08 meron ba kayong matutuluyan sa Sydney or magrerent kayo? Mukhang mas okay nga na dito na kayo. Ang gawin mo maghanap na kayo ng matutuluyan and compute the possible expenses for maximum of 3mos. Pag mukhang viable ang 12k go na. Pag nde isa muna ang mauuna. Kung sino mas malakas ang loob at mas madiskarte sya mauuna hehehe. Goodluck!

Mahal kasi ng rent dito. Weekly sya kaya parang ang bilis ng pera tapos ang tagal pa makahanap ng source of income. Kaya ako personally sinasabi ko na dpat physically, mentally, emotionally and financially ready talaga dpat bago ang move.

iamyourangel08

thank you @cholle and @wizz..

wala po kaming kakilala jan so magrerent po muna kami...and napagusapan din namen na ittry namen yung best para magtipid..

yun na lang din iniisip namen na since same situation lng din dito sa sg and sa oz,so yung for good na lang ang kinoconsider namen..

question lang din po..ok bang pumunta na ngayon ???or mas ok na mga 2nd week ng january na lang?.. i read po kasi na mostly ng company nagshushut down dahil sa holidays..

thank u thank u po ulit.. 🙂

@iamyourangel08 compute nyo po monthly expense per person. Based po sa monthly budget ng ibang tao dito sa forum for a couple or kahit with one kid nga roughly nasa 3k per month ang budget. So mga four months po ang itatagal nung 12k nyo if dalawa kayo punta dito kagad. Ano po ba line of work nyo? If mag odd job muna kahit isa sa inyo cgro naman makakakita naman kayo ng odd job in four months time. Basta dapat lang po mentally, emotionally,physically prepared po kayo kasi hindi din po biro maghanap ng work na in line sa field mo. Mas ok po cgro jan na kayo punta ng oz 🙂 yung ibang company kc may holiday shutdown tsaka mas masaya mag xmas muna sa pinas.
