I hate to say this dumbdumb, but I must tell you what a
miserable excuse that is.
Food? Pul-lease. Do you think Singaporean food in uniquely
available in Singapore? Absolute rubbish. I was in Melbourne for 4
years from 1999-2003, while I was there me and my girlfriend had
Mee Rebus, Laksa, Mee Siam, Fried Rice, Char Bee Hoon, Chee Cheong
Fun, Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice, Beef Hor Fun and mooncakes. Most
were made by ourselves using ingredients easily available in
Australia and just slightly more expensive. Hell we even made
pickled green chilli. It tasted great, out Singaporean/Malaysian
friends and even the Australians friends who were lucky enough to
try it loved it and couldn't get enough. And no, we're not natural
chefs by any stretch of the imagination
Friends? What makes you think you'll not make friends over there?
The Australians are less likely do not judge a book by its cover,
and will make friends with you if you show sincerity in wanting to
assimilate with them. If anything, I find Australians much more
receptive to foreigners than the average Singaporean. Hell a lot of
Singaporeans I know and seen don't even want to mix with
Singaporeans of other races! Of course, there are racists there,
but to such low-life pricks, I just give as good as I get.
As for keeping in contact with your local friends, whats email and
the phone for? And theres always regular visits to each other, with
air travelm particularly in the off-season, relatively cheap.
I have labeled such excuses not to leave despite claiming a desire
to aspathetic in another topic, and I stand by those views. You're
merely depriving yourself of a shot at a better life on such
shallow concerns.
