Festive periods

I love seeing shops open when i have a sudden urge to go out for a walk at 10 pm at night. I was lucky to see a pasar malam open at toa payoh central. Missed seeing one. The pasar malam seemed to open at the right time, just a week before cny. Some shops are selling new year decorations. Walked past shop n save to find it still open. Went in to look ard for new year goodies. Saw one steamboat and tepenyaki set which costs $68. Had the urge to buy it.

When I'm in australia and I have the urge to go out at 10 pm, there are only 3 things I can do; walk alone in the streets of Perth, cycle in the streets, or drive out. Walking is too dangerous; if something happens, no one can save you, cycling is better but as equally dangerous if u're alone, driving, no car.

There are so many things I miss about singapore. Some ppl migrate because they have no choice. I can choose to migrate but I still like Singapore. Its where I grew up and the place where majorities of my memories are formed. THe language; ah,eh,oh, the things we do; ktv, mahjong, late night suppers, the places; coffee shops, mama shops, the food, the festive seasons; the tv shows; channel 8, channel U... all the things sporeans can relate to. I would love my kids to grow up in an environment where I grow up in and tell them, look, this is the stall from the hawker centre I always like to eat at, this is where I lived for the past 21 years and hope for them to grow up in spore.

You might think, maybe I havent found a connection to australia yet, maybe I havent found anyone in aus that u're really close to, maybe u havent started to have an interest and like the lifestyle there. Maybe. But for now, I just love what singapore has to offer. What I have learned to cherish. Its where I grew up, where my closed ones are, and where most of my memories have been formed.

Hmm... I'm gonna ask my mum to walk the pasar malam tomorrow... thinking of getting a new bolster..
