It will be a lot easier to find job if you are there than here ..<BR/><BR/>You will find ways to adapt .. Trust yourself ..

Heh. Not much of any advice to give, because you already sound like a very smart woman: you know what you want, what to do and you have set your plans. I'm just gonna give you a different view of the matter: a positive one.<BR/><BR/><I>People naturally adapt to their situations</I><BR/><BR/>So don't worry, the two of you will make it work and I'm proud to read that you're sorting out ur finances in a practical way. Though it is not a marriage or anything like that (to move to KL), it is still a big step. Nothing to worry, once you get pass ur parents, just get in the boat and enjoy the ride. What's life without a bit of excitement and new adventures :)Melancholy Thongshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260026068019617509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4606259025305024453.post-44019155486412511612008-02-04T18:08:00.000+08:002008-02-04T18:08:00.000+08:00Nick,We dun even dare to think about adding kid or...Nick,<BR/>We dun even dare to think about adding kid or kids to the equation at the moment. All the cost for diapers and milk formula alone will kill me. Maybe I shud just go back to the nature and give the kid breast milk till he/she is 3?? LOL:P<BR/><BR/>Yap, guess I have pretty much decided to take up the offer anyways.

I think i cant give you a good advice, as it is your own decision and a new life that you need to take. <BR/><BR/>Hmm, maybe you just need to take one step at a time, i.e. discuss with your parents on your intention to move and work in KL (sooner or later you going to move out from their comfort zone right?), seriously consider the job's pros and cons. If you decide to take the job, you still have chance to look for other job there too.Rose worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104898697123799249noreply@blogger.com
