Bakit Australia?

TasBurrfoot

Mahirap na kasing maging PR dito sa Singapore ngaun dahil sa paghihigpit ng Govt so ayun job security and anytime pwede ka mapaalis. Yan ang main reason. Tapos lifestyle dito sa Sg medyo stressful environment and para ka lang nsa loob ng malaking city palagi. During my first 3 years here in SG i find it a perfect place and better than any other places. Pero naging boring narin in a long run. Then naisip na din future ng family. Pero my opinion is savings, technology, proximity sa pinas, pollution, convinience, shopping/gadgets, crime, nightlife, transpo, orderliness, mas ok sa SG. Pero tingin ko lng yan wala p kasi ako sa AU. So looking forward for new environment.

There is little incentive na rin na maging PR sa Singapore as they have stripped away the many benefits for PR's - gone are the days na almost parehas ang benefits ng PR and citizen when it comes to school, hospital, etc...

Cguro, ang parehas na benefits lang is the CPF contribution!

@doubleDuzi ... Im from singapore..and time has come that its not about money anymore... we are looking for a true meaning of life .... Singapore is too perfect that evrything is very convenient, that we become so complacent, become irritated so easily if things are so slow and out of our comfort...Life is a balance of good and bad ( bad is the one that you have enumerated)... thats where u will appreciate the true meaning of life. I believe you are enjoying you life in Australia or u still have plans to move to some other country?

Hahaha. I felt the same sometimes. Its like parang masyadong pampered and predictable ang buhay sa sg, though residency and job security ang main reasons ko. Yung matagal na sa SG will understand this. Too much convinience in life sometimes boring na din. Kaya nga mas masaya sa pinas. you will never know what will happen tomorrow and plaging may new adventures and the feeling of being at home palagi. Pero syempre still too young, trying to find and look for greener pastures, new environment, new life and new adventures.

meehmooh

@doubleDuzi .. maybe matulungan mo kaming mga new immigrants to share ano ba ang nandyan sa Australia na naging reasons mo to be there as well... ? For us, we know 100% kung ano ang decision na gnawa namin.. and thanks for enumerating those cons... and appreciate if you can add more so we can prepare ourselves...

Honestly, hindi ko rin alam bakit Australia. I've travelled quite a bit pero never pumasok sa isip ko ang Australia. Wala sa bucket list ko. I remember when I was working in Kuala Lumpur, some friends started their journey to AU. Nagstart sila magprocess ng papers. Back then, ayaw ko kasi masaya ako sa buhay ko sa Kuala Lumpur. Lahat sila nag-move na sa AU.

Opportunity came to work here in Bangkok. I'd say na I made the right decision to move here. Career wise walang growth pero I am having the best time of my life here. Then late last year, one of my good friends convinced me to give it a try. Matagal naman ang processing so sinubukan ko lang. There's no harm in trying naman.

less than 3 months from now I will be moving to Melbourne. No secured job, no definite plans, and I don't have deep pockets either. My life, my future, everything is in my backpack. Most of my friends asked me if leaving Thailand is a wise decision, knowing I am having a blast here. Sagot ko lang, I will never know the answer unless I try it.

Regardless of reasons, good or bad. I've decided to give it a shot. I'll try my luck and take quite a risky leap 'coz I know my thirst for adventure will never be quenched.

Life in SG has become boring little by little as time goes by...

@meehmooh; teka yun lang yata ang alam kung cons, ang internet, hehe. dito na po kasi ako lumaki. 1st year high school ako pinas nung dinala ako dito. medyo di ko naranasan yang back to zero at di ko alam ang mga reasons why you should be taking that big risk to be here hehe. pero parents ko, alam ko naghirap talaga noon, lalo na dad ko, 3 years sya nauna saka pa kami kinuha. may mga kaibigan sila, sumunod, yung iba talaga di pinalad dito. umuwi. kaya sinabi ko, malaking sugal ang desisyon na yan. may mga kababayan tayo, matataas na tao sa pinas, pero nagtyatyaga sa isang maliit na apartment - ang sabi, wala na raw babalikan; nag resign at naibenta na lahat, etc kaya parang napasubo na lang...

meehmooh

@doubleDuzi ..i always believe in the Guidance of the Almighty and of course perseverance. May mga factors din kasi if you migrated earlier like early 30's or lates 20's at wala pang pamilya at wala pang masyadong napundar sa pilipinas...and most especially your skills. You should be thankful to your dad .... He did the sacrifice for your family. We wanted to be like your dad as well and our chilren to be like you. Blessed to have a parents to sacrifice for the future of their children. Maybe you will also feel the same way if you will be having family soon.

Article makes sense. Mahal tlga sa AU kung magco-convert ka against other currencies. Pero kung nagtatrabaho ka din naman sa AU, which based sa example nya is malaki ang minimum wage, you can still live well.

Bakit nga ba Australia? Australia is perfect period (sabi ng katabi kong australian).

KurikongSaTumbong

Masarap sa Australia pag masipag ka at madiskarte - madali kang aasenso! Kung yung effort natin sa Pinas para makasurvive lang eh yun din effort natin dito sa Au eh malayo mararating natin kumpara sa survival lang sa dati.

Mas malakas purchasing power natin dito kaya mga tao dito hindi nagpapapicture sa Starbucks hehe kasi naman eh kapeng ordinaryo lang yun in relation sa sweldo compared sa 1/3 ng minimum wage sa atin sa Pinas ang isang tasang kape kaya nagiging status symbol para sa iba. Gasolina eh $1.50 per litre imagine mo yung normal na empleyado eh me sweldo na aroung $8,000 to $10,000 a month compared sa PHP52 per litre tapos sweldo ka ng PHP30,000 to PHP60,000 a month eh no-brainer na yun na magaan buhay mo dito.

Ang point ko po eh sa Australia you get the most with the least effort at siguradong aalagaan at di ka pababayaan ng gobyerno at yung tax mo eh me napupuntahan. Libre health care, maganda retirement benefits, nasusunod ang batas, me hustisya etc. Baka biased lang ako kasi masaya ako dito. Marami ring malungkot na tao dito kasi namimiss mga ka-videoke nila sa Pinas bwahahaha!

Maganda pa dito hindi nakikialam simbahan sa palakad sa pamahalaan kaya common sense at practicality ang nagwawagi kaya laging pausad hindi paatras mga policies.

Basta kasama mo asawat anak mo dito eh ayos na. Kalimutan na mga naiwan sa Pinas at isipin ang mga magiging descendants mo dito. Ikaw bale ang first generation dito at dito na magpadami. Di na mababalik nakaraan pero magagawan pa ng paraan ang kinabukasan.

Because I've been working for an Australian Bank for the last 4 years and have found out that working with Aussies was more relaxing and laidback vs. working with Americans.

Also, in the event of a worldwide zombie outbreak, Australia is very safe as long as it protects its border from maritime entry. Nagspread na ang zombie virus sa lahat ng North American and European country, sa Australia, life is still as we know it. hehehehe.

Oh, and the good mix of beaches, mountains, urban life, roller coasters, waterparks, etc.

Yung zombie outbreak talaga number one consideration ko kaya ko pinili ang Australia. Pangalawa eh nakakahaba raw ng buhay ang pinakuluang kulugo ng koala. Saan ba makakabili ng koalang me kulugo?

@meehmooh; teka yun lang yata ang alam kung cons, ang internet, hehe. dito na po kasi ako lumaki. 1st year high school ako pinas nung dinala ako dito. medyo di ko naranasan yang back to zero at di ko alam ang mga reasons why you should be taking that big risk to be here hehe. pero parents ko, alam ko naghirap talaga noon, lalo na dad ko, 3 years sya nauna saka pa kami kinuha. may mga kaibigan sila, sumunod, yung iba talaga di pinalad dito. umuwi. kaya sinabi ko, malaking sugal ang desisyon na yan. may mga kababayan tayo, matataas na tao sa pinas, pero nagtyatyaga sa isang maliit na apartment - ang sabi, wala na raw babalikan; nag resign at naibenta na lahat, etc kaya parang napasubo na lang...

Kahit sa trabaho may risk pero mas malaking risk ang mag migrate. Sa tingin ko sulit mag migrate pag on your way up ka pa lang sa pinas o kahit saan bansa. Once naka angat ka na sa pinas (o in my case Singapore), mas humihirap na umalis kasi mas maraming mawawala. Habang bata life is an adventure and is not about playing safe. You have lots of time to play safe when you grow old

Magaganda po ang point ninyo. Marami namang iba na kahit ok na eh pinili pa rin magmigrate para sa mga descendants kasi nga naman eh kahit ok tayo eh paano na mga anak at apo natin kung sa Pinas sila lalaki. Malamang eh masayang lang lahat ng effort ng magulang kasi nga eh hindi naman tumatagal ang family wealth ng ilang generation. Imagine nyo 30 years from now malamang eh parang Somalia o Bangladesh na sa atin. Tiyak eh si Manny Pacquiao na panghulo huhuhu at si KC Concepcion Vice President
