10+ years in Australia, Was It Worth Leaving Malaysia? 离开马来西亚 10 年后，我们后悔了吗 🇲🇾🇦🇺

Welcome to the very first episode of Lepak Abroad 🇲🇾🇦🇺 欢迎来到 Lepak Abroad 的第一集 🇲🇾🇦🇺 We’ve both been living in Australia for more than 10 years, and somehow one casual chat turned into us asking: 我们两个人都已经在澳洲生活超过 10 年了，然后有一天的闲聊，让我们开始认真想一个问题： Was leaving Malaysia actually worth it? 当初离开马来西亚，真的值得吗？ We know a lot of us living abroad, especially here in Australia, have probably gone through similar struggles, sacrifices and regrets along the way. Whether it’s relationships, financial, career, family, or even the journey of trying to get PR. 我们相信很多在海外生活的人，尤其是在澳洲的朋友，这一路上多少都会经历一些挣扎，牺牲和遗憾。不管是感情、经济、事业、家人，还是为了拿到 PR（永久居留）所经历的那段漫长过程。 So, in this episode, we talk about why we came to Australia, a bit of our international student life, the struggle of finding work, our career, and whether Australia really feels like home after all these years. 这一集，我们会聊聊当初为什么会来到澳洲、留学生时期的一些经历、找工作的挑战、我们的事业，还有在这里生活了这么多年以后，澳洲到底有没有真正变成我们的“家”。 Of course, we also got into the more emotional stuff like 遗憾, family, the things we missed back home, and whether living overseas means you always gain something but lose something at the same time. 当然，我们也聊到了一些比较感性的东西比如遗憾、家人、这些年错过的人和事，还有一个很现实的问题：选择在海外生活，是不是在得到一些东西的同时，也注定会失去一些东西？ Just two Malaysians lepak together, having fun and chatting about whatever comes to mind! 就两个马来西亚人一起 lepak，轻轻松松聊着天，想到什么就聊什么! So if you’re Malaysian living overseas, thinking about moving abroad, or you just like hearing people talk about life, come lepak with us lah！ 如果你也是住在海外的马来西亚人，正在考虑出国生活，或者你只是喜欢听别人聊聊人生，那就来 lepak lah！ And let us know in the comments: 也欢迎你在留言区告诉我们： If you’ve lived or still leaving overseas, was it worth it for you? 如果你也曾经或者还在海外生活过，对你来说，这一切值得吗？ Follow Lepak Abroad for more random chats about Malaysia, Australia, work, relationships, culture, life and whatever else comes up. 记得关注 Lepak Abroad。之后我们会继续聊马来西亚、澳洲、工作、感情、文化、生活，还有各种想到什么就聊什么的话题。 Hosts / 主持人 Scott — Instagram: @scott_chow Jayvin — Instagram: @jayvintang Instagram: @lepak_abroad Tik Tok: @lepak_abroad Email: lepakabroad820@gmail.com #LepakAbroad #MalaysiansInAustralia #LivingAbroad #MalaysiaToAustralia #MalaysianPodcast #LifeInAustralia #Podcast #malaysia #australia
