Really can't understand such mentality ...
Heard through some net friends that someone was branding me a coward , a quitter just for the fact that I am not staying in my country. His point was that I can't take the stress and fast pace of SG and just find an easy way out - That is relocate myself in another foreign land. Am I pissed ? No , not at all , but quiz at such mentality ...
My points to leave or even with such people in my country, might even thought of migrating is plain simple ...
Firstly, I do not think that I can't take stress ... but I just simply understand that stress is not a must in life. Most people have to live with it but brighter people can find ways to release it. As for my case, I am much intelligent than most that I am avoiding it, or atleast minimised it ... anything wrong with it ? If a car is heading towards me , I "Siam" ! If you are a hero , you can stay and let it hit you ... and the quitter or coward - ME , will be having the last laugh at the Hero - YOU !
Secondly, I am not one that likes to race my life away meaninglessly. I like to go accordingly to my own pace and have time to admire beautiful things that fly pass me ... Again, this is not an easy task for anyone ... Imagine yourself in the Army where everyone is rushing and keeping up the pace and you take your own sweet time ... I can guarantee you that you will be torture and slaughter by the rest, unless you are some White Horses or have some special means of sort ... Therefore, in short, you need to be someone special to dictate the pace of your own life , without affecting the rest and yet living comfortably. You can't leave this pacy life is because you do not have the will and power ... You are weak ! Just like horses in the race course , they was force to race because of the whip of the jockey. And you are a poor beast that are whipped to race ... other than that meaningless race of yours in order to survive, you are are left with nothing.
I have to say that stress and other unfavourable things is part and parcel of life ... but I am not taught that it is neccessities in life, like water and oxygen to survive ... or you must have it to prove your character or for you to brag about.
Stranger : I am a man, a real man! I can starve myself for a week without food and walk 10 KM eveyday ... That's what my life is all about !
Me : You win, my friend ... I can only not have beer a day and anything further than 3 Km , I either drive or take a cab. The toughest walk for me is on the treadmill when I find I need some excercise or dancing away for hours in discos and pubs to "torture" myself... That's my life.
Stress is inevitable ... But I have a choice to choose the degree of stress I feel comfortable with, I am not stupid ! If a room is either too hot or too cold , I will not hesitate to move to another better and comfortable room that suits me. Even my damn 4 legged pets are fast in doing just that ... Can I say that people with such mentality, always name calling others that left the country of origin for a better life that suits them, IS WORST THAN MY PETS !
My parting shot, the courage, character and skills needed to start everything in a foreign land anew is not in every man , and definitely not inthat guy who was hiding under the protection of his father's balls calling others names.
