The day has come, this is the second I tender my resignation in Dell, wondering will there be 3rd time. The feeling was not good before I officially pass the letter to my boss, however, I have decided to do it. First of all, I email him on my intention to tender my resignation. Guess how does he responded? ... He sent me with the following instant message
Boss:"What's wrong?"
Boss: "I can't believe it you guys are leaving one after another"..
Me: "Sorry boss, it is a hard decision"
Boss: " Let's find a time to talk today"
Me: "Ok"
So by 3pm, he called me to go up and look for him, we looked for a meeting room and proceed with our usual conversation. He asked me why I want to leave? Is there anything he can do to make me stay.. Of coz I told him that, I am very firm this round.. I will be going.. So he ask if I am going due to better prospect? or simply becoz I dun like the people or work here? hehe.. I really hate to be honest.. :P However, I told him " the team is ok", Just I am looking for migrating to Australia. This is something Dell cannot offer me... To my surprise, my boss actually ask me, what if I can offer you to work in our Sydney office? Would you consider staying?? Haha.. what should I say?? I was blank when he prompted me with this question.. The next thing I know.. I told him, I would definitely consider.. Well, he tooks it and told me he is going to talk to my director during the night meeting and bring up to Vice President for approval on my relocation.. This really shock me, as I never expect he will come out with this type of response. I thought he will just let me go.. haha...
However, it is too early to say anything, I shall see how it goes, first of all, the VP must really approve for the thing to happend, secondly, even if they really offer me to relocate to Sydney, I still must see if the package is up to the market standard right? hehe.. Whatever it is, Wish me luck :)

Tough decision
It has been a month with preparation for our move to a totally stranger land :P many concern start to surface.. My younger sister is still yet to get her PR.. we are thinking hard on way to bring her along.. unfortunately it is simply beyond our ability to make it happend fast, so we have have come out an idea.. to bring her along to study in Australia.. that way.. she can be in Australia almost immediately.. my mom will be less worry about leaving her alone here in Penang.
However, upon checking with the Australian education agency in Penang, we found that the school fee will cost us about AUD17K per year, so it is a AUD34K investment. I have gone up to have a chat session with my migration, he is kind of surprise that we would like to attempt this, as he thinks that it is too expensive to do so, he advise my younger sister to look for a migratable job and work for a year then apply for the PR instead. I nevertheless convey the meessage to my elder sister to discuss with my younger sister... Of coz as expected she responsed with her unsatisfaction, she thinks that we have promise to bring her along and study there. We did try to explore on the possibility, but frankly the cost involved is just simply too high to bare. I know it will be tough for her to work alone in Penang with all the family members in Australia. However, at the present it seems to be the best decision for her future and most affordable method. What do you think?
