Life Is Fragile
Received a shocking news today that one of my friends has passed away yesterday. He suffered a heart attack while driving on his way to play our regular Tuesday badminton session. His car crashed into a tree. In fact I just received a call from him 2 weeks ago wishing me all the best to my new life in Perth. This goes to show what drastic events can occur in such a short period of time.
Everybody compete against against each other on a daily basis to survive and have a better life. Most people think that if I work hard now, I will be able to relax and enjoy at a later part of their life. However, we never know what might happen to us next week, tomorrow or even 1 hour later! Life is indeed fragile. Cherish every moment my friends...

Start A New Life In A Foreign Land
Isn't it a fantastic idea to migrate to a foreign country and start a new life? Most people will have this same intention especially when they feel that their future in their home country is bleak. The idea does sound great especially when you think that you will be treated equally, have greater opportunity and better quality of life in your new found home.
However, when you actually take action and start your new life in a foreign land, you have to be mentally prepared for challenges and hardships initially. After all everything has to begin from zero again. You need to adapt to the new climate, culture, lifestyle and work environment. You also have to start establishing your new social network from scratch.
The top 2 challenges you will be facing when migrating to a new country is to find a job and a place to stay. You could send hundreds of job application online but you won't be getting anywhere unless anyone respond to you. It is indeed tough especially when you know no one in this new land and hard to get a reference from anybody. It is the same when looking for a place to stay; the landlord or real estate agent will only entertain you if you have reference. This almost become mission impossible when you know no one in this place!
Nobody would ever want to leave their home; the place where you were born and grew up in. You will always be emotionally attached to your home no matter where you go. Everybody thought that migration is an enjoyment of life but in actual fact it is one of the greatest sacrifice one can ever make in life.
