My Singaporean friends have mix feelings for my decision of relocating to Bali. Some are envious, some are neutral, while others raise their eye brows(pretty high). It is unlike moving to Canada or Australia, you tell people that you are moving to Bali for your son's future and school etc, you will either get a comment that "your are very adventurous" or "you are crazy".
I have mix feelings too. We moved there in the beginning of this year with the intention to stay for a while and see how it all goes for us in Bali. To be honest, I was still looking for some other possible countries to move to.
The whole plan about relocation is really for Eron to have a freer, less stressful childhood and school life. Singapore educational system certainly is great but it is not what I am out for right now.
Sometimes fate will take you to where it wants you to go, it is totally not up to me to plan or choose. I am highly driven by my desires and goals and will do anything to get it. And I usually got it. Until recently. I tried very hard to find a place to move to where I truly(at least I thought I was) desire but guess what? The harder I tried, the more things do not show up for me.
My work training brought us to Bali last year. I brought Eron along with no or little intention to wanting to relocate here. Long story short. Fate has a mind on its own. This week we are home in Singapore processing our one year temporary resident permit at the Indonesia Embassy.
Will we live in Bali beyond a year. Most likely. We are shipping our belongings to Bali and I am setting up a business there.
Will we live in Bali forever? May be.
Do I still have desire to relocate or live somewhere else for a while? Certainly.
Is Bali attractive? Yes and it depends on your likings.
Here are a couple of Eron's pictures, he seems to like it in Bali:)
