Global citizens

I am taking a small step towards being a global citizen. How? I am going to Japan for summer school!!! Isn't that great?? I have always wanted to go Japan, and now, finally, I get the chance. Not only that, I am going alone, with 20plus Singaporeans that I don't know at all, but we will make friends when we are there (I hope?).

Definitely thinking of working overseas. Kept the article about Singaporeans working overseas. I think it's cool. In fact, isn't our government preparing us for the world? I can contribute to Singapore's economy from abroad, can't I? We actually give up a lot of things, like their being with our family & friends, doing the things we like to do, and certainly, the that is so so nice food... We give up our comforts, leave our comfort zones and venture to a place for the betterment of ourselves, but often not, our growth means the growth of the nation as well.

I want to see the world, because I feel this tiny dot doesn't have the things that I want in life. Not money. Not material well-being. Freedom? Choice? Growth? There are many...
