2 years down.. another 2 years

Time flies, it's been two years since I came to SG. Well, it doesn't really that blink of an eye; in fact it's been stressful for the past 2 years.

I wasn't intend to settle down in SG initially. Then the whole thing about for a better future of next generation changed my mindset; although Danny has been wanted to settle down in SG since the beginning. 

It's not an easy decision to make; especially for us who already having an established life in Malaysia. We gotta start from beginning to start our new life, Danny and I are working really hard on this. It might not be frugal living, but there is a big portion of our monthly income that goes into the commitment and savings towards our purpose. And now you know why am I feeling annoyed when people say we are having good life because we are earning SGD, that sound really sarcastic because those who say so apparently are having a better life than us in Malaysia.

So it's been two years now. I guess we are progressing well. We bought a condo, we are expecting new family member, we are able to afford some vacations.. things are on track and all we need now is continue working hard and wait for the day to move in our new place. Which is another 2 years for the construction to complete. 

I remember the day Danny and I booked the condo; it's the second happiest moment I had in SG (of coz the first goes to we found out we have a bun in the oven), and I thought it's the end of my distress for wanted to settle down as early as we can in sg. But recently I've been feeling stressful and emotional again; perhaps the pregnancy hormonal change; but I believe it's also due to the additional financial burden while we are expecting the little one; plus the retrenchment rumors circulating in my workplace. Well, actually there is nothing much I can do at the moment, so I'm writing this post just to remind myself to cherish what I have and hang on there for another 2 years. Just can't wait to end our nomad life..
