		<description>&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-5803&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@ladylike&lt;/a&gt; 
oh ya, have to get it fr my friend. but this time not very nice lo. cannot find nice one in the place i went =_= sorry. 

mmm i think there should b a solution. u can always get a job u like and at the same time be with ur family. earning money is another thing. for me, earning money is important, but there are many things that money can never buy back. if u r good, money can be earned anywhere.

mm country? wait till u work in other countries :P i think malaysia is still quite okay. not the best but definitely not the worst. i&#039;m in china now, and i am very very grateful i am born in malaysia and not china. :)</description>

		<description>ohhh!!! alvin u in China...diam2 sana...u know what i want right??? heheheheh :)))

regarding your this post...mm...is so true. I actually have confusing in making that choice which i still have yet to make the decision.

by choosing 1st option, u earn much money and with money many impossible becomes possible. i mean many but not all ok.what if the 2nd option, u stayed back but didnt like the job? staying back with your love one doesnt mean you will be happy about it when you are going through difficulties in your job and other possible happenings.

I know our country has a lot of opportunities but are we taking into account on all general stuffs like the working environment, mentality, human rights, the working law? 

i am going so deep now..LOL!
you are right that in the end of the day, it still comes back to yourself. It is about how could one stand or think on a situation &amp; react.

Because if you follow, your life might change a lot since the culture is pretty different. For me, I doubt I will ever like China (i&#039;m now in China for vacation). :P

I think at the end of the day, depends on individual. Distance relationship is never easy to maintain. But not impossible. Perhaps people like me are not so suited for such long distance stuff :D

At least you still have the 5 times..not too bad :) its like 2 months once.</description>

		<description>My wife is actually relocated to Europe for 1 year then later 2 years in China. Given the options whether I should follow or not, I have decided to stay in Malaysia. Good thing is I still can visit her for 5 times per year (pay by the company).

Thanks again Usha :)

We are really fortunate now that we are spoilt for choices. And of course, this post doesn&#039;t really apply to those w/o choices. For them, there will only be 1 choice which is more feasible than the rest - as you said, do or die.

But if you do have choices like most of us do in this country, it&#039;s up to you which one is more important to you.   I think every parent would want their kids to do well and don&#039;t mind sending them off half a world away....even though they are sad to do so - as most never come back after that. The decision should rest solely on the child himself...whether to go or to stay with the family..... or if they&#039;ve went there......whether to come back and take care of the loved ones. 

&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-5768&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@gapnap&lt;/a&gt; 
Same for me! :D Even if our country is plagued with a lot of controversies, i really think there are still a lot of opportunities around.</description>

		<description>When our ancestors migrated from China, many of them didn&#039;t really have a choice. It&#039;s get on that boat or starve. We can ask about choice today becoz we have a choice. In my case, my folks made that choice for me to grow up in a country half a world away with my aunt but it worked out fine.

If you are single, its easier to decide because the lineage stops at you. But if you are married, you&#039;ll be stuck with trying to balance between giving your kids a fair future and being there for your parents. Sometimes you can&#039;t have both without some sacrifice involved, usually money for air travel. Life&#039;s like that.</description>
