What is in Australia which is not in Singapore?

My Answer: Life

For me, personally, it is life. I find life in Australia. I personally do not find life in Singapore. What do you value the most about life? You got to ask yourself this, "What do I live for?". Do you live for money? Do you live for work? Do you live for the clothes that you wear or the type of food that you eat?

For me, I live for my family. When we migrated here in Australia, I started to enjoy my life so much more. And as a family we do things a family is ought to do together. Our lives here in Australia comprise of doings simple things together as a family including things you might not imagine are enjoyable but they are. Cleaning the house together as family, mowing the lawn and doing our garden together as a family, taking a deep in our swimming pool at our backyard as a family. Not necessarily going to the movie houses (because tickets are expensive), but going to video rental shops and watching it together as a family. And one of the favorite things my family life revolves around because I originally came from Singapore, is the concept about food. Food is such a huge part of a Singaporean's makeup. We were raised thinking that food is a huge aspect to enjoy.

In Singapore you go out to the hawker center and join the queue and wait for your dish which can turn out nice or not nice. In Australia, family life is different.  When we think of food we'll eat, we go to supermarket and get the ingredients. Let us say for example, chicken rice. I had a lot of chicken rice in Singapore but from our own point of view, we really enjoy the food we prepared for ourselves more. Why? Because we one exactly what goes in to the dish. We know what sort of chicken we are cooking - hormone-free, steroid free, fresh and juicy. While cooking, the kids participate chopping the spring onions, we make the sauce and debate about it which is fun. And best of all, we sit down, eat the food we prepared with some of Australia's best white wine to compliment the rice and chicken meat. That in my opinion is life. That in my opinion is what life should be all about.  When the kids comeback from school early, we jump on our bicycles, and grab our fishing rods and we do a bit of fishing. The weather is nice, the scenery is amazing, there are no crowds, and you don’t have to spend a large chunk of money just for a holiday.

In Singapore, I have to admit it is a very good place to work. You can literary work day in day out day and night and when you get tired from work you go to sleep and continue working when you wake up and you work, and you work, and you work.

For me, work is part of life but it is not life.

Life in general, I just think there' more life in Australia.
