Change

Met up with a friend who just got back from US for a short holiday before flying back for a perhaps permanent position. We haven't seen each other for almost 2 years so I thought there would be a lot of catching up. But instead, there were quite a few awkward silences during our dinner.

Why, I wonder. You know how people always say that change is inevitable? Perhaps that was the reason. We both felt that the other party has changed since we last met. Of course, it has been almost 2 years; He's in the states while I am back home.

He thinks I'm not as bubbly as before, and I think he complains too much. He complained about the drop in food standards at the restaurant we went to, he complained about Sg being too boring and he even complained about the lack of hot chicks here. The thing I can't stand the most is whenever he starts his sentence with "You know, Singaporeans are blah blah blah." He gives me the feeling that he isn't a Singaporean himself, though he said he still sees himself as one.

I know going aboard opens up your horizons, allows you to experience more and perhaps see things differently. Maybe I am just a frog in her own sweet little well who has yet to see the world. But at least I still see Singapore as home. Do you?

P/S: I am not being patriotic here, merely stating how I feel.
