We are a typical Singaporean family of four—my wife, our two preschool kids, and I—about to make two life-changing decisions:

1️⃣ Quitting our corporate jobs after decades of working.
2️⃣ Uprooting our lives to relocate to Japan, a destination that’s not just for holidays but for building a new life.

Why leave the comfort of a stable career and Singapore’s familiar routine at 40? What drew us to Japan, a place often seen as challenging to live in? 🤔

We’ll be documenting every step of this transition—from navigating visas to settling in, from finances to family life, and sharing reflections on breaking away from the conventional path.
