Out of Place
It's been a few days since I am back here in Singapore. Somehow, i just cant stop feeling that I am indeed out of place here. I just don't feel at home here despite growing up here for 18 years.
The hot weather is a little unbearable for me. People look so distant to me. The tempo of life is so fast. The buildings are foreign to me. I just don't fit in to this place anymore.
Been seeing primary and secondary school kids everyday when i go out..and somehow, i just feel a sense of sympathy for them. They have to go through a tedious education system, compete to go to uni, and compete with one another to be the best student. It's kinda nostalgic to me. I'm so thankful i've passed that stage. Uni life (in a foreign country) is so much more suited to my kinda character...
Perhaps, i should begin to not take my uni lecturers and tutors for granted, no matter how much i may dislike them (if any and if applicable...)
