Been working right now.
From there i do met a lot people and from my workplace all the worker there are not Singaporean.
They mostly come from neighbour country such as M'sia and China.
Well at first i do kinda off have a feeling that those foregin workers come here get a job is like snatching our own country people jobs.
That was my first thought.
After I work with them even just a short 3 days of work, I somehow get to know them and they do told me some of their life story and how and why they end up here.
Yea.. really kinda poorthing too.
A colleague of mine came from china.
She was like 19 just 1 year older than me.
Yet need to come here and work.
I thought she was here to study and having a parttime job.
But she is actually here to work, and need to work for 2 years!
I asked if she was wit her family. she said she came here alone.
She do not have relative or anyone.
She just come here to live on her on.
Need to find a place to rent to stay.
Need to work for own pocket money and those daily expenses.
I was kinda shocked.
As i thought mostly this kind of oversea teenagers mostly is here to study.
Yet she is not.
I really impress that just 1 year older than me and somemore a girl!
Can be so independent to live her home for 2 years in a unknown country.
Unknown faces.
Unknown Culture.
Unknown background.
Different languages.
Seriously for me, I am not that independent at all.
I think most our us here don't really that independent too?
yes like everyone else wanted to go out of own country.
She do felt that way too and when some company at china helping them get work permit at here.
well she don't really like it but she can't do anything at all.
She need complete 2 years of contract before she can leave.
Now i know how all kind of company works.
They do have some link with oversea countries of cause those developing countries.
And help get those foreigners to get a work permit here.
But
They need to work for the companies.
So....say it nice is helping them. and obviously im a foreigner who is so excited to get to some oversea developed country will willingly sign that contract.
but say it bad is like so call con them to come to work for them as CHEAP labour.
finally know how this kind of thing.
really very tricky.
and if you unlucky was being trick to here.
She now have no other choice but to work till the contract end.
She miss her home so much.
Her friends.
Her family.
Her life......

I can really feel how eager she want to get out of there.
Imagine it was you.
You do not have anyone to talk to about your problems.
When you down who do really understand your feelings?
You need to bear everything alone.
Just 1 act make you regret yet no turning back.
human are so creepy!
so tricky!
so evil!
This world is so scary......

So maybe because all this job thing forced some oversea people who is so desperate to get money or even being tricked to be a hooker.
They have no other way to go.
No one to turn to too.
This is where those evil people start doing their plans to trick them.
What a world.
Although most of the foreigners do irritating or even very bad attitude.
But some are really quite pityful.

Even those M'sia people need to come over from JB to singapore to work then go back there again.
For we people here. From 1 end of our country to another end i think will take about 2hrs?
well with our good infastructure and transport network we could even get there like 1hr + or lesser and even the waiting time for the next train or bus will take like 5-10 mins at least.
Yet we are so impatient and even complain that it is so far and so long.
But they don't even complain anything about traveling from bus to train train to bus.
Somemore it is everyday.
Well it really show how fortunate we are. seriously.
But we are all too spoilt for saying this.
Even myself.
It can't be help.We do really have way better life compare to them.

This really make me realise we should not complain so much about our life is so sucks and how bad it is.
Can't people think that we are much more fortunate compare to them?
How bad can our protective and spoilt life be?
How independent and easy to adapt to different country are we compare to them?
How hard working we really are?
How demanding are we compare to them?
How willing to learn and change for the better are we compare to them?
So are we really worth to say people trying to snatch our jobs?
Or
To say that we are totally not fit to get those job compare to them?
