Japan...
Actually, I do miss japan.
I miss the quiet in the trains and buses.
I miss the food. Especially the delicious ramen. And kaiten sushi.
I miss the nice Japanese people.
I miss the countless board games, Harry Potter Uno games with the kids.
I miss sitting down at the sofa with my okasan and the kids to watch tv after shower.
I miss walking to the bus stop everyday, carrying an umbrella to shield from the strong sunlight and enjoying the clear blue sky above my head.
I even miss the noisy sound of the crickets which wakes me up every morning at 645am.
i really miss the kids, the way they talk to their mum and the way they laugh at silly things, the way they look, so blur, when they just woke up in the morning.
All these make me dislike Singapore. Since i came back i find myself identifying Singaporeans' ugly sides. I find myself being unable to stand Singapore. I feel claustrophobic with all of them around me, so crowded, so rowdy and nosiy.
if i stay in japan for good, will I be happier?

Heya.
It's a wonderful place to live in, but I'm not so sure about work tho. I think it's the kind of respect for one another you get there, that is absent here. And you know how people like to say that although they're very cordial, friendly, smiley and nod-dy on the surface, they're actually just very superficial.
But my personal experience there has proven otherwise.
There's a lot we can learn from that fabulous place, and a lot we can take home... immaterial.. and material. Haha!
See ya soon!
