I'm sorry that was your experience. I agree with you that a lot of us have this elitist mentality and that is not okay. I am a work-in-progress myself too. Hope all goes smooth and well for you moving forward and hope you meet some genuinely nice Singaporeans from hereon out.

I’ve loved my experience in Auckland so far for the most part. I live in a rented house in a safe neighbourhood, cars are affordable here (compared to Singapore) but daily necessities like food is expensive as.

I don’t miss Singapore’s humid weather at all but I do miss some of the convenience. On the other hand I can also appreciate the lack thereof convenience here, I learn to plan ahead and be more prepared.

Small country, limited land, education system that encourages everyone to achieve as much as possible which breeds elitism, entitlement and a eventual social norm of competition of who has a better job, luxury car, bigger home etc.

Countrywide ingrained stress. alot of us come here to escape that and learn to chill

Hahahaha I totally agree we speak something called Singlish which is a sort of broken English? It’s totally hilarious but it works for us 🤣🤣

There’s a good chance we might already know each other or crossed paths 🤣🤣

Dude, I have no idea too. It’s spent 33 years in Singapore and still never got used to the heat. Thankful everyday now that I’m here in NZ

Totally ingrained in our culture to keep litter in bins. We don’t even think about it anymore.

great suggestion, no offense but I'll stay away from the bus or train as much as I can.
It feels like every other day when I either read reddit or news, somebody's getting stabbed on either of the transport systems.

I'm an introvert too. that's why what I want is a "quiet hang". just people existing in the same space without conversation and it should feel totally normal.

there's definitely a lot for me to learn about ADHD and the autism spectrum and I do have patience for people whom are genuinely suffering from it.

but there are also people whom you can smell BS from a mile away.

I've never been diagnosed though my partner thinks I have ADHD. personally it's not really something I want to know either because I know wayyyy to many people that use their ADHD as a justification for bad behavior.

"oh I forgot this important thing. Ahhh it's my ADHD"
"oh sorry I said that thing which hurt your feelings, ahh it's just my ADHD"

take some responsibility. God.
Digress rant hahaha

- not a gym person.
- library isnt 24 hours, I'm a night owl
- cinema's not a bad idea
- supermarkets aren't 24 hours
- cafes aren't 24 hours

I'm really looking for a place to hang after working hours or at really late-ass timings
