The Migration Path

A reply posted by Judy got me thinking wheels spinning about a subject called “migration”….

What does one have to do in order to plan for migration?
What are the consequences before and after?
Will there be any negative forced feedback on my kids?
Will wifey be able to handle it? What are the processes involved, will the processes be one off thingy or will it be constantly variable?
Which country is best for my family?

I have if fact spoken to wifey on this matter quite a number of times but her response was lukewarm…..not positive not negative..

The course of my work has taken me to many countries. I am glad to say that my experience with diverse cultures has given me some inkling as to which type of living conditions to aim for.

Apart from the red tape, the ideal country should :
- not have any race discrimination
- treat all their citizens equally
- have enough opportunity for one to eke out a living
- have four seasons
- have a good education system

Don’t get me wrong, I am not implying that BolehLand is no good, its just that if I can provide a better life for my family then I see no reason for the move. Hey, I don’t mind driving a cab if it’s the only means to support my family so what the heck?

I told wifey that my dream is to enroll my kids in an International Golf Institution where they can have alternatives of learning the art of golfing and have a good education at the same time.

By saying that, I don’t mean to say that my kids are pro material but if they can make it then so be it…at least there are alternatives looking what the professional golfers in Europe and US are getting in terms of sponsorships, royalties and prize money. Take that and compare that with what the athletes are getting here in BolehLand…ptuuui, we don’t even have a practical and stable platform to groom young and aspiring athletes. It was one of the major factor which prompt my to retire from playing football for our National Team ( stopped at under 21 bracket )….no bloody future…aaahhh feels so good to let it out after keeping it in for so many years.

Have already started to take my kids to the driving range…hopefully they will get hooked and one day tell their Dad that they want to pursue a career in golf. I don’t mind sending them even if me and wifey can’t afford to go…..I just hope that they can make something out of it. They are always welcomed home after completing their studies if the sport of golf is not to their liking…no problemo. Will send them even if it means I have to slog day and night like a dog….just to give them a chance for a better life.

No plans for migrating now but in the future if I can afford it or by forced situation…who knows? All I can say that it is definitely on the cards……
