Life in a complete new environment




This is definitely one of my most 'unglam' article I will ever post online, nothing related to fashion or boys, just something inside me I'm shy to tell people.

I'm not local, Singaporean if you can tell, I'm from Malaysia, and therefore I'm living alone here because my family is not with me here living in Singapore. I live alone in a tiny room located in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6, with a pair of married landlord I barely recognize how they looked like. Anyway, what make's me homesick is the food, yes, I love food, I can't live a day without delicious street food to fancy restaurant food, my appetite is so huge that my body can't tell, and of course, the main reason, my family. I do not live in a fancy big house driving four wheel drive car in Singapore, and in Singapore, they do not have 24 hour mamak stall located at everywhere, and people here they do not speak Cantonese and barely even willing to speak in mandarin, somehow, my Singaporean classmates told me that they think Chinese speaking people is disgraceful, no? I'm not a English grade A student, I hope people here can actually understand how I feel though.

The culture practice scares me the most! There are many, I mean really, many people they don't drive because the vehicle's here cost a truckload of heart attacks, it is so expensive that people rather walk than drive! Therefore, most of the people they don’t spend their time till late night outside because there is no trains and buses available after 12am, only cab, and it charges 2 times extra because it's the law? Well I can understand because they do the same thing in Malaysia. Also, dining practice, people wait for everyone's food to arrive before they start eating, this is unacceptable! But anyway, I'm here in Singapore, and therefore, I need to adapt to all the culture practices here.
