I am actually not so sure about that yet, which is why i pick Batam as my "final destination". So that in the event of an emergency, i could still utilize the short distance to reach Singapore for their medication facilities. 5 years ago, i have a choice, Thailand Bangkok or Indonesia Batam (Thailand actually has good medical facilities).

In the end, i picked Batam.

Foreword, i said in my perspective, Singapore is hell for me (past 5 years and present). I dont hate the country where my parents give birth to me, just that my life is hell in it. Other bro's life in my home country could be heaven,that i arent sure but i only speak for myself and i only represent myself, which is why the word "my perspective" comes in.

Hehehe...was planning to buy a few units in Batam but i am starting from scratch when it comes to understanding the property market in Indonesia Batam,hence i am learning as i go along. Its a learning process and i am recording it down.

Why buy few units? Hehehe...i could perhaps rent some of them to like-minded bros in Batam who might feel Singapore is like hell (again,in their own perspective/s) when it comes to retirement. They could rent their HDB flat out as retirement fund and then comes over to Batam to rent a studio unit from me as a price of about Singapore half-a-bedroom price (probably S$250 to S$300?) At least those like-minded bros can come "play chess" together at the Batam apartment void deck (together with their babes),hehehe..isnt that something fun?

Retirement is not about doing nothing ,stay at home shake leg (i read that from somewhere by SBF boss, Sam Leong),its more about doing something i enjoyed doing...and hopefully can earn some money out of it to help with my daily expenses etc.

Most importantly, i have enjoyed myself thoroughly in Batam.

Moving a small step a time, i believe as long as i do not give up, i will be able to succeed in my own gameplay eventually,hehehe....my growth in Batam is recorded in the forum itself which i no longer have rights to amend or delete anymore,hence it becomes a piece of history over time (so long SBF dont close down,hehehe..anyway i have back ups. ).

Its my life afterall...
