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.
