Is there a place that you can run away from the reality of life?
I like to come here when I feel good
I am also glad that I find solace here whenever i feel down.
Being a singaporean, I feel that I am an endangered specie in real life. I am better off than a lot of people from third world countries but their sheer numbers overwhelmed me in my work life. I work harder than many white trash but they are still above me and full of themselves with absolute arrogance and disrespect against asians.
I begin to feel that it is safer for me to curl up and interact less with others so that I don't always ended up getting hurt or disheartened. It is really feels cosy if I can hide in a small corner and be an introvert once a while. For the past 2 years, I have been thinking if I should let my children leave here, but perhaps they will feel even more outcast elsewhere. I don't think I should send them away anymore. Sending them away is running away from the problem; I might created a bigger problem in future. Maybe, I should just work a little harder, so that my kids will not have to go through as much shit as me.
The city is so cold. It's nice to be here. It feels that I am talking to relatives, even if nobody replies me, it feels good to talk to yourself once a while.
