What's my next chapter of life?

I have just graduated from uni. Like most of my friends, I haven't started working. I have been searching for a job in Australia but I guess I am not good enough to stay in Australia. I don't have the experience the employers need, I don't have the excellent results they want and most importantly I don't have the visa status they require. So all of the facts have come to a question, whether I should stay in Australia, starting from a whatever job first and slowly finding my way to be in the career I have always wanted. If I don't stay in Australia I can go back to Penang to work. But is this what I want? Maybe.

It's really sad that I have to leave my friends in Perth. At this point of time, I am sure I will come back to Perth to work after I got my PR but is this going to happen after 2 years? Who knows? Things may change within these 2 years. I hope my friends understand that I do really want to come back after 2 years.

I got Singapore's Ernst & Young interview this Monday morning. It was my a phone interview and to be precise, it was my first job interview. I got an offer from them two days later and I really don't know what to do. I understand working in Singapore will be very competitive, being all people around you are so fast-paced, not everyone is willing to teach you. Worst of all, I will have to stay alone with no family beside me. Can I survive in such stressful and lonely environment? I don't know. I am ready and I understand what am I gonna face but I don't know if I can do it. It's gonna be a great opportunity to develop myself but come back to the question, CAN I DO IT?

The whole future-stay-leave thingy has been bothering me for soooooooo long time. And I hope people who is having the same trouble with me can stay strong, keep your faith on everything you want to do just like what Miley Cyrus sings in her song, The Climb.


I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa
