Anyway… yes… I made it, and I am now in Singapore. Normally, people are given about 1 month MC for this surgery but I will have to report to work tomorrow. Well, it’s a new job, I don’t quite have a choice. The only saving grace is that my new boss is willing to let me to physio during office hour.
In 2005, I left the Malaysian shore to work in China. At that time, I knew I would return. My plan was to go for only 2 years, though it turned out to be much shorter.
This time though, I left Malaysian shores and I am not quite sure whether I will return. Surely, I may get another transfer back to Malaysia. However, if things go according to plan, I don’t think I will be returning anytime in the near future.I guess I will find out soon enough whether all those things people talk about Singaporeans are real or otherwise. And of course, I will have first hand experience of the dreaded Singapore working culture.
Surely, there will be plenty to blog about…
People from Singapore… hope to bump into you on the streets!

Hope to read more zewt-style posts about Singapore soon! :P
hey! welcome to singapore :)
I know what you mean, after numerous work posting around Asia, but with a base in KL - when I took up the job offer here, I figured, work visa - 4 yrs .. if it doesnt work out, I can always go back "home". Its now been 6+ yrs, and after 2 yrs, work offered to sponsor for my residency. Havent looked back since. Its a big leap of faith when you do decide to pack up and try out a new (ad)venture, but nothing lost, nothing gained eh?
Home is where my bags lay.
Good luck with the new changes.
If I may detract from the original topic.. your leg in the pic looks like a girl's leg!
No offense I hope but that was the first thing that came into my mind :P
Zewt, just stay in Singapore man. I came to Australia in 2003 for studies when I was 18. I applied for permanent residency in 2007 and was granted and this year I voluntarily applied for Australian citizenship (which was granted as well).
How do I feel after so many years in Australia?
I feel wanted.
Will I ever go back?
Most probably not.
Do I miss Malaysia?
I definitely miss the food, friends and family. The rest, depends.
OMG, now you really are in S'pore.
I dare not think how you move about. Anyway, most things over there are user-friendly oriented.
By the way, a number of S'pore MPs are from M'sia. So, feel @ home.
I heard the working culture in Singapore is far more better than in Msia according to a friend who worked there. Now, she really missed working in her previous company... Hmmm... Not sure whether it's really true but looking forward to read more from you. ;)
Will buzz you when I drop by Spore next time..And hope you enjoy every bit of yr *new chapter* there~ G'luck and best wishes bro~
Good luck working in S'pore... Your witty remarks about the happenings in Malaysia will be missed!
Enjoy ur life in S'pore..

Hey Zewt, hope you get well soon and warm welcome to Singapore!
Welcome! You'll realize a number of those stereotypes are true. :p
Get well soon!
Bro, next time don't post sexy leg pics, can't you see some guys were getting hot? :P
Anyway, wish you good luck in Xinjiapo. I stayed there once for 3 months, so it will be fun to read about your adventures. Maybe you'll see Malaysia from a different perspective :)
Oh my goodness! be careful with the knee job, you don't want to spoil the good surgery work. You are brave doing all of these major activities almost at once.
Good luck with your new life, job and recovery.
All the best to you and hope you have a speedy recovery!
