Thanks for your comments.

Yep... the pay has to be better than Singapore. Given that, my wife will have to quit her high paying job in the investment bank to go over with me. My starting point would be really, what both of us are getting now, plus CPF, before I would even consider the offer. To this, they seems to have no problem matching.

My problem is, i do not wanna go over there and enjoy the same pay, lest 1 person working. It is just not good enough. I am hoping to put in some extra savings if i ever go there.

I guess singapore is expensive, in terms of travelling. It has gone worst recently.

I don't mind if she do something that is not productive (in terms of money) but keeping herself at home everyday will be a dread... she can go work for red cross or whatever.... as long as she can find something. Hopefully with a bit of international community mingering...so that she will fit into the new place easier...

Food is not much of a concern as we do cook quite a bit and we enjoy going to the market and stuff...

We were hoping to get a 3 series BM if we get there... i guess we might need to relook at that option and perhaps consider a 4X4... ha ha...

any other things i should look out for?
