The first topic that comes up is complain and compare to SG Infrastructre and system.
OIC, New comers...maybe you should give those folks a little more time to adapt...after-all migration is unlike metamorphosis..takes time.
Yes, I heard the same complains from no nearby grocery stores, why malls closed early, why no library, why no hawker-center, why local delicacies don't consist of cha-kuay-diao, chee-cheong fun or Hainanese chicken rice...
Still majority aren't returning even with all garment's open-arms...well good for them and their families...after the initial pains.
Like I mentioned, grass sometimes look greener from seen from a far until one settles in and realises it holds its own share of mud, dirt patch, creeters, thorned-undergrowth, jagged-edge grass, poisonous shrubs..etc etc
But why complaint? Ultimately, it's one's own decision and depends on one's perceptions and attitude on how to adapt.
FG's simplified child-like outlook towards "Life is like a box of chocolates..." pretty much sums it up...
Now....isn't that FUN?
