Life in Singapore

As I'm counting, next month will be the mark that I have been staying in Singapore for a year! So many people asking me these questions:

- Isn't it getting harder to get job in Singapore?

- I heard the working visa is not easy to get

- How's the work pressure over there?

- Does your boss treat you good?

- What are doing in your company?

- They pay you good?

- Why did you choose Singapore? Why not Indonesia?

and so many more questions..

And what I could say is. Everything is possible with Him. Since I made the decision, it wasn't easy for me but I told God that I want to work in Singapore. I pray to God and told Him boldly that I want to work in Singapore, I want to have a fun work and I will be able to travel, have a good boss, good environment, everything!

So the story line was:

Beginning of 2nd week of July: I moved to SG once I get a place to stay

The next 10 days after I moved: I received the very first phone call for interview

The next day: I went for interview

The interview day on evening: The boss called me and I'm accepted

*Screaming*

However the pass wasn't easy to get. It took about 2 months+ to get my visa approved. Unbelievable. So at that time I travel in and out Singapore, waiting for my visa. And first, it never came to my mind that I still have an upcoming holiday with my friends to Phuket. It really never pass thru my mind. At all!!!

Until the date is nearer, I just realized and I asked my boss that I need to get out from Singapore but this time will cause me about 1 week as I have a holiday with friends at Phuket. He easily approved my request and apparently during my stay in Phuket. He sms-ed me saying that my passed has been approved! I scream!!!! I was so happy.

At that time, I rewinded all the memories. God plans was really awesome! God asked me to wait until the right time, yet I still able to travel here and there, visit my friends and apparently the pass was approved when I was on holiday! I'm so happy! Because I still have time to spent with friends. :)

Today, I never regret the decision that I made as I am walking with God. I asked and pray hard for everything. Indeed nothing is impossible when you are walking with God. Because He has greater plan and also His plan is above our plans. That we never ever though about it. :)

Update: 

Sometimes I feel that live in Singapore, the phase is too fast. Way too fast. It's been a year since I'm here and I really didn't realize it. I enjoyed it but because this fast phase, I need to get holiday every 2 months to ease all the stress. I'm not saying that living in this country is bad and very stressful, but it's a good place for your own personal growth, maturity, etc yet you still need to balance it with some refreshing time. 

XOXO,
