As I had been having an Adventurous Life, many of my Singapore relatives might be thinking that what I have seen in my life around the world.
I admit that I am lucky to sit an airplane and fly around the world, across the Pacific Ocean and across the China Sea.
But what I had learnt is something that one Singaporean will never understand unless they step out to where I have been to. I had seen things more world-widely, such as showing empathy that almost none of the Singaporeans could do in the modern days. I had experience the sound of mocking that many Singaporean in Singapore still thinking that they are living in Heavenly life. Nothing to worry about, no natural hazards, simply nothing to worry about.
But hey! This is not the Singapore Spirit that we should have. If you spent your life in China, such rundown place really turns you off. Well, thinking of escaping? What if you did not have the chance to get out of China? You ought to stay with your parents for a couple of years? Well, barring a culture that is so different from people who are around you really sucks.
Plus I were young at that time and was unable to fit myself into that society.
Seriously, I had learned a big time of cherishing and treasuring anything that meant something to me. I just can’t take some Singaporeans who just don't understand they had everything they need and they should treasure them. Because I had taste the feeling of loosing, and many times. It's just an advice if you don't want to end up like me.
I guess this is fated in my life I am an adventurous person. I can't stay at a place for long, but when i do, hopefully that will be the place that will settle me down. I really hope this place is Singapore. The place I call home and I know where I belong to. Many memories in my mind, some good and some dark. Dark memories, I hope they fade away. Because, it will take too much out of me just to remind myself of certain unnecessary flash backs. Good memories, hopefully, they will last forever in my heart :D.
Never will anyone be able to judge my feelings for something or anything. And for this trip to China, no one can ever feel the way I feel. So, I will say that the Dark memories that I had in China, they will prolly stay for awhile but as it fades, I know that the memories left will be life lessons to teach me how to be stronger for tomorrow. How to face life when it reaches peaks that tears you down and ruins your life. I will say this adolescences changing to young adulthood is a major change in mindset for me. I had grown up with such struggling environment that made me a better and understanding person.
Overall, I guess, if you asked me what I had learnt. Well, my answer is that learn to be yourself, to be truthful and to be a person who shows real sympathy. And that we can’t make a change by just saying, we have to make it happen!
