Well, Pai seh or not, unless i am 70% sure i will be going over, taking the trip is both wasting employers time and money, as well as mine. But if i am sure i will be going over, that trip will definitely be necessary. Unfortunately in this line, it is hard to even take a night off, not mention a week.
40k is about what my wife and I earns now in combination. So while in absolute figures, I am getting a pretty good increase, but if i look at household income, we are only slightly better off. That is why it is not exactly so good a deal that i had to fly over immediately.
Becoz in Singapore, my car and house are fully paid up (i stay in a HDB BTW) so really, i am not rich, but i am quite comfortable. in fact going over there might actually eat into my saving pie! hahah
