Working in Singapore


Then I drew the cards to take a leap of luck to find work in singapore. It was my father's idea to try look for work overseas and with the advantage of my brother who happened to work in singapore we decided to why not try my luck there.
So after 3 months from resigning in my 1st job, I took a step far away in my homeland. There are so many bugs running in my head and butterflies flying around in my stomach when that they came. I am so excited to go to singapore coz of the impression that it is such a wonderful place and how successful the country of its fast phased progress.
But I am so worried that I only have a limited time to find work and if I can't have it, it would be a big disappointment to my family and me. I sent resumes online every new entry of job over every job sites. I heard so many stories from people who went back home unsuccessful which made me demotivated but I helped myself and asked friends' moral support and talking to God asking him to grant me a job but that time I totally surrendered everything to Him. I have accepted already that whatever happens life must go on and being this young there is more to life than working in singapore.
On my 4th day staying in singapore, I received an email response from one of my application asking to confirm and come over to the office for interview. So I went there with all my might, crossing fingers and asking God to guide me on my way there. I even was late when I reached the place coz Im so new to the place. So I was interviewed and hired. Woaaallaaahhh. Gotcha! I was like shaking the whole time, did the medical exams, submitting requirements and got my pass approved. It was so surreal everything to me, everything was so fast. And all my mind and heart were talking like 'I love you Lord' over and over again. Then I called my parents telling them the good news. I knew I made them proud and yes they were.
I was so thankful to GOD for granting me the job and my friends who were very supportive all the time.
So its almost 6months now working here in singapore and thanking God everyday of being here.
