Happy 44th Birthday to Singapore! xD4.44pm is a nice time to start this post, since it's the 44th Birthday of Singapore. I wasn't particularly hyped out during the previous years - only looking forward to the parade at night and hanging out the national flag when i was young, but apparently this year feels a little different.
This year, i came to realise there's actually people who wants to stay in Singapore a lot, but because their parents have to migrate to some other country, they are forced to follow along. Perhaps this doesn't mean much to the parents themselves, but i suppose it means a lot to the children. They are separated from their friends, the familiar environment, into a totally new environment. Of course it is possible to get new friends when you're overseas, but the question is, is it the same?
Of course there are different opinions. Some may say they would like to migrate to other countries, but how many of these people will ultimately regret? That's a question only they themselves would know when they experience it. Seriously, i can't fathom why must parents force their children to migrate with them?! Argh!
How i wish it is just like in Economics - Everyone have the freedom and choice to choose the combination they want.Don't rejoice/worry. I'm not migrating.
