The story..

I am Budi. I am the owner of a very famous language teaching school in Jakarta. I think
my
biggest decision was to move back to Indonesia from Singapore. I worked there for ten
years as an English teacher and saved a lot of money. The Singaporean school offered
me work for two more years, but I decided to return to Indonesia. I think it was a really
good decision. I enjoyed working in Singapore very much and had a really great time. I
made loads of friends and loved the culture. But I also missed home, and I think ten
years was a long time to be away.

If I hadn’t moved back to Indonesia, I would have stayed in Singapore for a few
more years, but then I wouldn’t have started my own business. I wouldn’t have
begun a new successful
career. I also wouldn’t have met my lovely wife, we wouldn’t have got married and we
wouldn’t have had our beautiful baby!

Now, I have been married for 3 years with Sam, and have had our little baby. We
wouldn’t live happily like this if I still worked in Singapore. Surely, too, I would not
feel blessed like this if I were still there in Singapore. If I had a different alternative
about how to live my life now, I
would not choose any other way.
