Perhaps I've been too long away from Singapore, from media sources, to feel the effects of the catastrophes which took place some time ago. I only learnt about them when I checked my emails and realised that I've received some, asking for donations to help those affected by the cataclysm.
And so I thought, we'll be spend about SGD8000 refurbishing a school in dec, would this amount of money be better spent helping the victims of the calamity? Well, if I were to question further, it'ld definitely be an endless debate.
Anyway, I realised that I learn most about Singapore when I'm out of the country, that is, when I'm able to view Singapore from an outsider's perspectives. Only then will I be able to make comparisons, observe Singaporean mannerism and thoughts and really appreciate what I have back at home. Now that I'm back home, I think I'm slowing, subtly integrating back into society.. turning back into my old self.. the way I behaved, the way I thought..
Ok, snap! It's good that I realised it now and so there's still time for remedy. Haha. Yup. Let me not waste the good time I spent in Cambodia, the things I've learnt.
If there's only one thing to do right now, it'ld be... to progress!! =)
