I think some who migrated did so because they decided that that
is the better option.
Just like going to any place new, adaptation needs some time and
effort.
Even so, those who migrated did so because that is the choice they
make. For some reasons, they really don't think this is the place
to retire or bring up their children or work here. Maybe they
prefer more freedom. Maybe they want more beautiful nature, the
seasons, a bungalow with a view for cheap? A 'no worries mate' kind
of lifestyle and attitude?
They may prefer the lifestyles of their adopted country.
For these, I believe they are enjoying now.
The key here is finding out which country suits you the most. What
kind of lifestyle you really want and would sacrifice to get
that.
Good things don't come easy. Good things go to those who try
hard.
Getting out of your comfort zone is as the name implies not
comfortable at first. But in life, nothing is easy. Even if you
stay put.
But like our forefathers who came here from overseas, they adapt
over time and created their new Comfort Zone.
Thus, its only a matter of time and adaptation and humans naturally
create their new Comfort Zone.
Due to personal preferences and idealogies, I have been seriously
planning for my 'retreat'. I am really not pro compulsory annuit-T
(this does not mean I against it) . Compulsory sounds so harsh.
People with educated and well informed should be presented with
choices. Opt in or out. Opt the Democratic way.
Once I see no point continuing here, I will exit gracefully. Its my
life afterall, I have to go and live in places I like to retire
iin. I often ask myself, singapore is now like this already. So
super solid until cannot the solid already. Do I really want my
children to grow up in the future singapore which is more packed by
a few million foreigners than now? think about the competition!
think about the more competition singapore have to face in years to
come!
ERP, COE, Parking, Medicals, HDB, ... to those who love these, by
all means continue to enjoy more.
