The date for me to return to Singapore for good is nearing. I know I've said that I love my country but it's really a bittersweet relationship. Everyone knows about the obvious good and bad in their country but for me Singapore is a place that really sucked the life out of me.
Maybe it's because of what happened in my past that made me feel like the ultimate insecure person on earth. Unlike in Aussie, I can feel free, no qualms about anything else but my work and life. For me, this is what life is about, not worrying too much about how you look but how you live your life. Of course looking good and being healthy is part of how you live you life, no? Heh. Fine, I know there really not much to do here as well, but if I knew how to drive, there will be! Okay, I know it's a little contradicting but for everything in life, balance is the key, is it not?
I get sick so much in Singapore it's not even funny but here, I get sick like.. once? or twice? I think it's the stress level. I know I said I work better under pressure but too much of it really sucks.
Stress + disgusting weather + horrendous air quality = Dorothy, in really bad shape.
I really don't like the idea of a country that bases so much emphasis on looks. I mean, a country can but the people doesn't have to. Get what I mean? *rolls eyes* Also, it's such a facist country in a sense that there's even speculations that our taxi drivers need to have degree in the future. It's disgusting and it makes me sick just to think about how certificates and looks are almost everything, next to money. Business hub my ass. What happened to the good old chance and skills for jobs? I just don't get how we can be so urbanized and be No. 1 in so many things but we still need Courtesy Campaigns to remind the people to be nice to each other. Chivalry, gallantry or whatever you want to call it, is dead.
Seriously, the only people I know who display these points are people who have stayed overseas for some time or that they have ulterior motives. It's a depressing place, Singapore. Please give a good reason for me to stay forever.
Right. Back to studying.
