I think the fields always look greener from the other
side.
It's only when you go oversea that you start to be annoyed by some
of the policies that our government made that doesn't exist in this
country. But it's also only when you go overseas that you start to
appreciate things from your homeland.
Leaving Singapore eliminates old problems but bring in new (and
sometimes "alienic" ) problems too.
There are many types of SGeans oversea:
-Some pple still come back.
-Some come back for their families and friends
-Some pple stayed there but still considered themselves as
Singaporeans (most cases).
-Some hated Singapore, their government, their pple, their
everything (finding fault in EVERYTHING) probably their have bad
experiences in their childhood, NS, family,etc..... They wish
they're not borned in SG
-Some stay due to family/personal problems in homeland that they
want to avoid
-Some wants to come back but can't bcos he/she gamble away all
his/her money and school fees/salary in casinos and was in
hiding.
-Some hated Singapore bcos his surrounding frens(somemore
non-SGeans) hate SG. And when all his friends left him, he come
back.
-Some miss SG when their overseas, but miss overseas when they are
in SG.....and miss SG again when they go overseas
again............and miss overseas when they return to SG.
Singapore may not be a paradise, but there's no such place in the
world as a paradise.
