Can we remember the best moment of our life. In my case the worst time of my life.
Life was not easy. Packed the luggages, the furnished home was left behind. With just the pillows in the arms, the clothing in the luggages $1000 Aussie. We broad a plane and said goodbye to Singapore. Daughter was 11/2 years old and son 3 years old. We put up in my brother's rented 1 bedroom flat. He paid for the rent of the flat and I provide him meals. Managed to save $14000 in the first year. My brother said he want to buy a house. I gave him my $14K and he brought a house. Meanwhile my siblings in Singapore said my family and I were sucking up my brother. I provide food for my brother and his girl friend while he paid for the loan of his home. A year later I brought a parcel of land in no 12 Sunningdale court, Northlakes Countryclub, Darwin, Nothern Territory, Australia, with a downpayment.It was only 27K. We paid a 20% down payment. A year later I got a housing commission loan from the northern territory govt. Got a builder to construct a house, a home of our own.
In the meantime, I was running a cafeteria with my brother, business was very good, my brother, now claimed he is the owner and paid me a wage of $500 a month which is not enough for my family expenses. He took the profit and give it to his girl friend now in Sydney on a holiday. Finally I left the join business and found myself a job. I trusted my brother, and betrayed my trust by cheating. I was so disappointed but kept quite, only god knows.
I learnt my lesson, the person you trust is also a person who can ripe you off.
