People who are deeply patriotic, fiercely nationalistic and loyal to a fault have nothing but mad love their country from the deepest chambers of their heart and that is why they want to stay in their homeland where they can enjoy the rest of their lives with their friends and family. But the harsh reality and cold, hard truth of life is that people sometimes feel trapped, backed into a corner and driven to take desperate measures and leaps of faith in foreign lands because there are no professional options left for them in their beloved country. And that is why with a heavy heart, they explore the idea of migrating to Australia from Singapore because they believe that the grass is always greener on the other side and that it is better to start fresh abroad than to starve and perish at home.

After establishing their roots, getting acclimated to the new scene, finding a stable job and making new friends to make the transition a little bit easier socially, financially and emotionally, people can now explore the new territory and claim these strange land as their new home. Instead of wallowing in homesickness, dwelling in the past and sulking in a dark corner because this can be seriously detrimental to their plans of having a brighter future ahead, people should just enjoy the ride, count their blessing and consider themselves lucky for having the chance to start with a clean slate. With that said, here are some fun, exciting and exhilarating activities for the whole family so that they could feel the full experience of living in the Land Down Under.

Surf the High Waves and Hit the Beach

Australia is the home to some of the finest beaches and surfing sports with gnarly waves and swells all throughout the year and that is why for those who love to hang ten and ride the high waves all day long, they are smack in the middle of their element right here. For those who want to try out other water sports, this country is also big on sailing, snorkeling and deep sea diving and that is why more and more people are visiting the Australia migration agency in Singapore because they want a piece of that action.

Get Up Close and Personal with the Wildlife

The Land Down Under is home to a lot of beautiful, majestic and endemic creatures like kangaroos, koala bears and wild dingoes therefore animal lovers will surely love getting up close and personal with these lovely critters both inside the zoo and in the wild as well. But before wrestling with the crocodiles, charming deadly and venomous snakes as well as cuddling with a funnel web spider that can kill humans with a single bite, they should make sure that they have the necessary skills to avoid fatal contact with these gorgeous animals.

Live Wild and Free

For those who are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, they can buy their own trailer home and hit the road so that they can live off the land so to speak and test themselves if they have what it takes to survive the infamous Australian Outback. But this is not for the fainthearted and before heading out, they should make sure that they are ready to face the challenges and obstacles that they will surely encounter each and every day.

Another Year, Another Birthday To Celebrate With Your Boyfriend?

I was a birthday Grinch before. Yes, I don’t want to celebrate my birthday because it just reminds me of how old I am now. Things have changed when I finally meet my boyfriend. A guy that would make you feel special on your birthday. Your birthday that you just treated like an ordinary day before is now a day that you’re looking forward to. I’m looking forward on what our plans together.

I’m so fortunate to have a boyfriend who also loves to travel. Love to travel is one important thing that we have in common. I still remember in great detail my first birthday that we have celebrated together. We have planned to travel to Taiwan. There are a lot of places to explore in Taipei City – yet we just opted to explore their Zoo, then ride a gondola, and climb on what they called elephant mountain where you can view the beauty of the city.

My boyfriend doesn’t fancy wildlife entertainment such as the Zoo, but I made him explore the Taipei Zoo because I want to see their Panda. He said, “it’s your day! How can I say no to you, my love?” My heart leaped with joy. This man knows how to make me smile.

Anyway, back to Taipei Zoo. I was tad sad when I saw the panda. The panda was all alone in the cage. I don’t know if they did it because they know panda are not the type that is sociable, or the panda’s buddy just died that’s why it’s all alone now. Either way, the panda that is all alone in its habitat is not pleasurable to watch.  After an exhausting animal watching, we’re off to the mall. He is craving for a good steak. I have suggested looking for a restaurant that serves a good steak just like in Singapore. There’s a family restaurant in Singapore, where we always visit if we’re craving for a good steak. A perfect steak for my perfect birthday celebration. Well, we haven’t got any luck in finding such fine dine in. But we also had a nice meal with Baobing. The Baobing is a plate of shaved ice with sweet beans and condensed milk,  a perfect birthday treats to me.

Nothing beats staring at the sunset as your last activity during the trip. Spending it on the Elephant mountain and climbing those hundred steps to reach the top. Your sweat is all worth it – because at the top you can find serenity. A sweet escape to the busy world. You will find yourself thinking how thankful you are to meet a guy who is willing to be waste his time traveling with you, wasting his time exploring the world. This would be the most romantic thing on my birthday that I will never ever forget.

Thankful for your very existence on this Earth. I am now planning where to go next. Where is the place my feet will bring me this time, and hoping I would still celebrate with my boyfriend? More birthdays and more adventure to come.
