Singapore

After my travel to Singapore I am now back in Jakarta, Indonesia. Was going straight to Cirebon but on the day arriving in Indonesia, I have been sick again. Just like last time when I went to Phillip Island in Melbourne.

My trip to Singapore was a really great one, especially what I had from the trip. I went to see the Merlion (read Malayan) and see the sun rising. My visit to the Zoo and the Museum were interesting. And I bought some books also that are very precious, I wish I would never lose the books.

At the time when I typed this, I was quite sick. Fever, headache and sore throat, not including the disorderly thought that I have. But better than when I went to Phillip Island in Melbourne, I had coughing and runny nose as well.

I think the change of country made me feel this way.

Although the trip to Singapore was a fruitful one but the hospitality of the people is quite terrible. They seemed to be rude for no apparent reason, and service is done in a hurry. Only a few taxi drivers that made me understand certain things.

It seems that the people of Singapore are quite poor in economy side. Although they have extraordinary doctors whom Singapore had paid enormous amount of money, the people of Singapore could not afford to pay for the hospital cost.

A taxi driver also told me that out of 4 million people in Singapore, the 1 million are foreigner, and that is why the competition is quite fierce. It seems that they try to slice everyone up, just like my Indonesian friend who was working in Singapore. The cultural of 'not losing' is very apparent and I feel very uncomfortable most of the time there. I am glad that now I am back in Indonesia.

As I probably mentioned before, I will be back on 12 February, I hope you won't miss me so much :)
