A Contented Life

Like Isaac Newton being hit by an apple under the tree, I realised why I would miss this place.

Freedom.

You need to plan everything in Singapore. Where to go, where to eat, when to leave the house, where to park, which route to take to go to your destination so as to avoid the ERP. It is an expedition just to leave the house. You also got to compete with everybody from career, to grabbing the latest condominium unit and even a parking lot. Everything is more expensive and a meal now costs an arm or two legs. Everyone in Singapore has gone mad with all the planning and competing already, just that they haven't realised it yet.

Here in this country, I just hop into my car and just drive to anywhere I like. Driving is smooth cos there are only a few roads. I know the restaurants here by the back of my hand. I can park my car anywhere and I don't have to compete with anyone. No one is rushing here.

Total Freedom. I will miss it.
