Forced Bachelorhood
I spent all most 10 years working for a large bank in its IT department through a 3rd party IT company. Once in every 2 years when it is time for my Ep renewal, I keep praying for the successful renewal. I was successful in such prayers past few years but this time, my client said they don’t have long-term visibility and hence my company told me that they are not sure of Ep renewal this time. Thanks to covid!
My first child in primary 3 and going to an international school and I did try seeking admission in a local school last few years but it never happened. Now my second child will go to primary 1 in another 4 months and I’m sure she won’t go to the local school either. That means I need to pay another 2500$ per month for my second child's education. I’m already spending 2500$ for my first child. 5000$ a month for children's education, that is too high. But do I have a choice of sending my children to a local school? Nope!
My 3 room Hdb currently rented at 2800$is due for renewal in another 3 months and I’m not sure if I need to renew it as my tenancy renewal depends on my Ep renewal! Should I renewal my tenancy, hoping my EP will be renewed? What if my Ep is not renewed and will be stuck in this tenancy and lose my deposit payment to my Land Lord?
These open issues kept me terrified for over a month and finally after so many follow up with my HR I got an update that my Ep is renewed for another 24 months but the project got visibility only for the next 3 months. That means, my company can ask me to go back to my country after 3 months or even before 3 months!
Holy crap!
What am I supposed to do now?
Should I renew my Hdb tenancy or not?
Should I send my second child to school now or not?
Should I continue with this company or just move out and find another employer who could offer a stable job?
Should I send my family back to my country and stay alone in Singapore and review my plan again?
After staying many years in Singapore will my wife and kids be able to adjust to living conditions back home?
If I decide to stay alone then where I’m going to live?
Do I need the whole apartment or just rent a room?
If I rent a room then how will be environment be? Should I put up with an unreasonable Landlord or will the place to convenient?
I have accumulated so much stuff over the years, how to shift them to a new place?
“Ever been in this situation before?? If you are an IT professionals staying in Singapore with your family, you would have faced a similar situation in the past”.
We don’t have solutions to all your challenges, however, if you decide to send your family back and decide to stay alone in Singapore then don’t worry we have a place to offer or a room to rent on your terms!
