The joy should come in giving! I mean there is not enough room in the furnace or the coffins, especially here in Singapore where all the ground is well blessed with gold. Think of it this way, every single night you close your eyes, you leave it all behind, not knowing if you are coming back.macaroonie wrote:Isn't it sad, we work hard for things that are not permanent.. we arrive and leave this world with nothing.

Macaroonie, I think that you sound very depressed. Early symptoms of SGphobia are unhealty & dangerous, I'd suggest to book a one week trip to NZ and spend sometime with your loved ones. There you'd probably have time to think about what your targets and expectations look alike in your life. That will helps a lotmacaroonie wrote:For those who have been here for a few years, do you ever feel that being in Sg has sucked out your soul? The life that we know it here is mostly work work work, and people are so focused on money, career advancement, prestige, shopping, eating... one would be hard pressed to find cultural people with an open mind who are living their lives the way they truly want it and discovering the meaning of life. Does anyone else out there feel that life in Sg has sucked out your soul?

Exactly. I left a job in Sg that was well-paid but terribly stressful. This wasn't anything to do with the city or country. Sometimes this feeling of a negative roller-coaster can sneak up on one.raden888 wrote:hey macaroonie,
I don't think this is just a big city thing or Singapore thing but happens when one get stuck in their daily routines without appreciating what they have.
