[closed]Moving to Paris

[Voon Chan]

Moving to Paris with my family will be one of the biggest step of my life.
I have to face a lot of objection from my parents.
I was very cool while talking to them so that I could avoid any direct confrontation. I was happy that I managed to handle the situation.:)
Finally both my parents give me their blessing to go.

My heart was so heavy. It was an emotional moment for me.

Resigned from my job 2 weeks ago.
Just sold my house.
Trying to sell my cars later.

Currently my focus is clearing out thing that I don't use in my house.
Giving it away to charitable organisation & people who can utilise it.

Not forgetting shopping for this & that.

All I can say is "It is not easy".

[Dino]

Good Luck!

[Voon Chan]

Thank you. I will slowly learn to enjoy my life there.

Not forgetting, exploring more on french wine & foodi can feel the emotion cause i've done the moving countries thing a coupla times

I agree fully with h2o. Most important is whole family are together. It will be a good experience for little VC. By the end of your 3 years stint there, he'll be 6 yrs old. Maybe he doesn't want to come back anymore, after finding his french chick.:D

[Voon Chan]

I must agree good exposure to little VC.
6 years old is way to young to be able to discover french chick

:eek: You guys really have great imaginationI agree fully with h2o. Most important is whole family are together. It will be a good experience for little VC. By the end of your 3 years stint there, he'll be 6 yrs old. Maybe he doesn't want to come back anymore, after finding his french chick.:D

We'll wait and see.;)

[Voon Chan]

Tell me about your 2 boys.
Are they discovering Singaporean Chicks now?:squeeze: We'll wait and see.;)

[SS2006]

Tell me about your 2 boys.
Are they discovering Singaporean Chicks now?:squeeze:
They dun like S'pore girls, i think ....:unsure:
When my eldest was in kindergarten in Ipoh, there's a girl in his class that he likes. She's very friendly and talkative, always talking to him, so he also like her lorr. In fact, i also like her...she's so cute, also always talk to me when i go to school to pick my son up.
FYI VC, children grow up very fast. You'll be surprised how much facts of life they'll learn once they are in school.

[Voon Chan]

Very cute story you have there.
It is true that the will learn the fact of life very soon but i do hope that little VC can learn the correct facts of life

[SS2006]

Very cute story you have there.

There's where the parents comes in, to guide the kids thru their growing years.
Tell you one more story....
2 months ago, my elest son was complaining to me about how his younger cousin sister was always disturbing and controlling him when he's playing with his toys. She kept giving instruction on how to play, cannot like this, cannot like that until he get fed-up. So i told him nvm laa...girls are sometimes like that. I was so surprised at his answer...."I don't like this type of girl" he said. Make me realise how much he has grown up, no longer my little baby.
Okok...back to topic, who's going to take care of little VC when he's in Paris? Put him at the daycare?

[Voon Chan]

In the morning little VC will go to school
After that day care
Over in Paris, it is impossible to have a maid

[LiLiaN]

but the ecole maternelle there is very good...
and kids do have very high standard care there...
so i'd say there would be less worry on that end...

[Voon Chan]

I was told by my friends there too
We have decided that way & we are going ahead as planned.

[Chris C]

VC ah, still got about 3 months to go, so don't feel like wishing u yet cos' nanti i feel :sad-2: ....so i'm saving my wishes till the time is near.....;)

[Voon Chan]

Yeah! :)
Sis, the reason I start this thread is I felt a bit emotional after selling my house & all the talk with my parents.

It is not easy to leave everything that I have in M'sia & move on to another country. Especially my parents. But................I want to live my life & able to provide them more than what I can do for them nowVC ah, still got about 3 months to go, so don't feel like wishing u yet cos' nanti i feel :sad-2: ....so i'm saving my wishes till the time is near.....;)

Hard it may be, but as long as your doing what's best for the family, that's all that matters.....I'm sure your parents will understand soon even when their heart is heavy......... just keep in close touch with them...call them whenever u could to make it up....:)

[Voon Chan]

I will Sis, that is the least I can do for them.
I have allocated a sum of money to my parents which is enough for their 2 years expenditure.

[Voon Chan]

I came from a poor family & my parents are able to support me all the way for me to earned my degree. They gave me what they have. So I think that it is only fair that I take care of their needs now.

[JC]

All the best to you, VC...
May you and your family have the best of the bestest time there..
err.. why move to Paris? :o

[Voon Chan]

Thank you everyone.
I have many reason for moving to Paris.
The main reason is both my wife & me have a chance to advance in our own career. Secondly, I was hoping that I can save more money by earning Euro. Thirdly, my son will have his early education in a better education system.

Those are my main reasons.

[Hades]

hey VC, before u forget, u still owe a yam cha session with me before u go, so dun forget ya....hahaha
anyways, there's a destiny for everyone in this world, well maybe urs is going for that direction, i dunno but it's surely a good leap.

by the way, france is a lomantic country, and boy i cant imagine after a while VC jr is there, damn he's gonna be so lomantic...then if he comes back to malaysia, boy he's gonna get laid....hahaha

[yee keong]

hahaha, more ppl move to europe also good. next time can backpack europe and bunk at all these ACSian's places. free food and lodging eh???? promise i will bring belacan for the trouble. kekeke.....

[Hades]

and of coz, kompiang....mee suah....and kam puang

[Anson F-Clef]

All D best VC and family! You and your family are sure going to have great expectations in your lives fulfilled as you all venture out into a new and awesome chapter in your lives.....

Thank you everyone.

Yee Keong, I will be glad to see you guys in Europe

Ghostie & Anson, thank you for your wishes.

[Voon Chan]

I am a little bit tired trying to sort out my thing in preparation to Paris.
I have given away a lot of little VC's things to people
My books, my sister will house them for me.

[athena]

[Voon Chan]

When you move away, little VC will start missing his toys, his home etc...
I recommend you to start taking pics and video clips of all his fav and familiar things and people so that when he feel homesick, he can start viewing them and talk about them.
When i just got to S'pore, my younger son also missed his old house very much. The older one less because he started going to Primary 1 at that time, he's too busy enjoying his new experience and new friends.

[athena]

A lot of Law reference book & statues.

hehe...liddat ah...okla...ur sis can house for u!! hehe..i'm only after cheap paperbacks!!

[Voon Chan]

I will take is toys with him.
Thank you Shirlene for the tips.
This is my 1st move to my family & we are going so far.
I will try to do it as & when I have the time

Don't your company provide you with a container or two to ship your stuff to Paris?

[Linkinfark]

All the best VC! This song comes to mind:
Leaving On A Jet Plane"

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
Leaving on a jet plane
(Ah ah ah ah)
(Leaving) On a jet plane

Note: nice song, no gay intentions! :squeeze:

[Voon Chan]

Linkin, I like this song since the 70's.
John Denver was singing then.

This song bring back a lot of memory to me
Going back to year 2000(That was a few months after our wedding) when my wife was on a long assignment to Paris

Ya.. old song covered umpteen times.. most recently heard in Armagedon when Ben Affleck and the others sang it before blasting into space!
Well, at least now you don't have to 'yearn' for your wife when she's on long assignment in Paris!:amused:

[Voon Chan]

You can "yearn" for your wife even she is beside you:p
(when you tak boleh dapat :laugh: )

[ungsutiong]

Is Paris a romantic city? You can have your 2nd honeymoon or u can fall for 'Paris'. he he he. Good luck, my fellow countryman.

[Voon Chan]

I think it is a romantic city.
My 1st honeymoon was there.
I better not call for "Paris" or wait for "Paris" to call me(Asking for trouble;) )

Thank you Ball UngIs Paris a romantic city? You can have your 2nd honeymoon or u can fall for 'Paris'. he he he. Good luck, my fellow countryman.

[Sila]

mona i have cut down to eating my instant noodles to about once a week. i used to eat it more, but we're trying to eat healthier these days.. :D but there is some serious ketagih issues man - because i actually buy maggi mee and indo mie so other than just being instant noodles, it reminds me of home.

aaaand i moved from Boston (a city with 2 Penang restaurants) to Cinci (a city with NO malaysian restaurants). argh!!!!!!

vc - maybe you will start eating maggi mee in paris, after so long not eating it!! :laugh: can't just go out and have teh tarik and roti canai in paris, y'know?

[LiLiaN]

but can buy roti canai frozen, and very easy to heat up at home...
then all you need is a good home cook curry, and you're set! :laugh:

[Voon Chan]

Sila, FYI I rather eat bread, not instant noodle.

As for roti canai, I know how to make roticanai:) .
If I can get condensed milk, Teh tarik or teh tolak is no problem:laugh:

Maybe, I should start selling roti canai & teh tarik in Paris
Oooooops nanti jadi mamak cina:p

LiLiaN, I have tried the frozen roti canai. It is edible. vc - maybe you will start eating maggi mee in paris, after so long not eating it!! :laugh: can't just go out and have teh tarik and roti canai in paris, y'know?

[Linkinfark]

Why not open a Sitiawan Kopitiam in Paris?! Nowadays lots of Old Kopitiam outlets in KL.. dun know which is which! All claim to be the oldest, ha ha..
You can serve toast and half boiled eggs to the frenchies.. or toasted crossaint! ;)

mona i have cut down to eating my instant noodles to about once a week. i used to eat it more, but we're trying to eat healthier these days.. :D but there is some serious ketagih issues man - because i actually buy maggi mee and indo mie so other than just being instant noodles, it reminds me of home.

aaaand i moved from Boston (a city with 2 Penang restaurants) to Cinci (a city with NO malaysian restaurants). argh!!!!!!

vc - maybe you will start eating maggi mee in paris, after so long not eating it!! :laugh: can't just go out and have teh tarik and roti canai in paris, y'know?
hahaha mebbe we should hav a poll about the frequency of eating maggi mee, most frequent versus least frequent and we know who will win that one...

[Voon Chan]

The rental in Paris will kill me.
A small shop can cost up to thousands of EURO.
To start up a business there will at least cost me Euro200k (RM900k).

I think If I can start a business in Paris, I can take the money back to M'sia & retire. If there is someone would like to sponsor me, I would consider:)


Why not open a Sitiawan Kopitiam in Paris?! Nowadays lots of Old Kopitiam outlets in KL.. dun know which is which! All claim to be the oldest, ha ha..

Oooooops nanti jadi mamak cina:p

LiLiaN, I have tried the frozen roti canai. It is edible.i think the frozen one is quite nice...
then again, when you have no other choice, that's going to rate very favourably... :D

there's a malaysian restaurant in paris, and only one that i know off...
not very nice... so i wouldn't really go there...

Service apt fully furnished with all basic necessities. Just get what you need there, you wouldn't need much to start with. You are lucky the company allow you all to start off in service apt for 2 months. By that time, you'll know what you actually need to buy for your new place.
