My first job here is: Job Seeker.
Applied many many jobs, sent many many emails to all the job but so far nothing comes back.
If you would like to find out how the job market works in Melbourne, I think I can only provide 10% insight of what I had encountered so far.
Prospect employers look for potential employees who has specialised skills, not like what we used to do, bao gah liao (jack of all trades, master of none) back in Sg or MY. You need to be really good in what you do and specialised in it. You can earn a very good salary here with very specialised and niche skills. If you qualify as a consultant, not by title, real consultant here can command a pay range of 100k to 150k. So, if you are reading this, be specialist in what you do before moving here.
People like me who used to bao gah liao, need to bite the bullet to start somewhere again. Be prepared to start a fresh again, don't have high expectations and put down all the pride that you have and learn to walk again.
Pray that God will open a door for me soon.
Amen.

Scrapbook.. the book that has lots of thoughts in it.
The book that we read together and into each word that you wrote.
The little instant photo that you had attached, the bookmarks, every stroke of your writings has become so dear to us that no matter how heavy our luggage are, we took it with us.
When we miss you, we will take it out and open the page that you had written, recalling the time we had experienced with you and the rest.

Sending us off...
Crying is a way of expressing sadness and also gladness.
As the plane takes off from the runway and the landing gear retracted from the soil of Singapore, the higher the altitude, our heart sank deep, very deep, missing all of you. We cried on board. We just cried. I cried as I am writing this.
We know some of our best friends could not make it to the airport because of their busy schedule, it is ok, my friend. We will remember you in our heart, not because you didn't turn up but you as our friend. Nothing more nothing less, our friend.
Those who went to the airport, as you know, I am not a person who say alot, my heart sank deep as we walked towards the immigration checkpoint. It went deep, to the deepest I had ever experience. I tried to swallow it in as much as I can. I will remember all of you, all your faces and you are so dear to both of us.

The header photo that you see on top of this blog is taken 4 years ago, on the way to Great Ocean Road, one of the pit-stop. Now I have arrived here 3 weeks ago. Finally dream come true.
