    I am Singaporean living in the US for the last 40 years. Singapore is a great country, love my people and the food but I can’t never live there again. I am now a country gal, living far away from the crowds and my life is calm and peaceful. No family drama in the US an even during my short visit to Singapore, I see drama ready to pop up anytime. I love my family but to deal with their dramas so often is not what I am looking for in my old age. I love the mountains and the lake and I can’t get that in Singapore. In addition, I love cold weather. I have considered going back for good numerous times but I just couldn’t do it. There are regrets for sure… missing big milestones with family, my kids not knowing their grandparents..etc. if any Singaporeans considering returning to Singapore, do it before kids turned 5 years old, otherwise it is going to make your decisions harder. Pick a country, settle down and learned to be happy with your decision. There is no perfect country.

      I know nothing of Singapore but all about family drama. I'm Dutch and went living in Spain sone 25 years ago. One of the reasons was to be out of that tight oppressing family nucleus. Now I visit them and I love it. I love them, I love Holland, but I can kiss the ground when I'm back in Spain😊

      @@yaki-moon I thought it's not an issue in that part of the world. :). I'm from one of the post Soviet states now living in Australia, looking back why I decided to change the place was partly coming from the fact I didn't have loving extended family circles (well except from my mother, of course, though we're not best friends with her either). Extended family circles in Almaty were miserable (control and status freaks dominating and pressing). Along with some other factors. I miss my home country's social discourse though.

    This is my first time leaving a review, and I must say, this woman is truly inspirational. I resonated with her profoundly, and I wholeheartedly encourage her to consider starting her own TH-cam channel. She is undeniably a wise woman.

    Don't even need to go to Cambodia. If expats living in Robertson Quay were to just cross the road to Jalan Kukoh estate, they'd notice the stark difference.

    As a "pure breed", Singaporean, I'm really glad our country has attracted this lady to come here. We need more foreigners like her to settle down here for the right reasons and also contribute positively to the society. Most of my contacts with foreigners who had stayed here long term were mainly to "extract something" such as academic qualifications, lifestyle or simply just money from Singapore before they leave.

    Asian Americans are unfortunately heavily stereotyped in life and work by the mainstream society in US. They are viewed as unable to talk about their feelings, more quantitative inclined, high achieving when many of us are not. 😂 Many like this articulate lady study psychology to understand the Asian American identity and struggle. As she mentioned she feels free in singapore because she is not viewed as a minority and that must felt like a tremendous sigh of relief after years of trying to fit in the US. I can certainly attest to that. As an Asian American it is not easy to land a well paying position as a mental health/marriage counselor but it is possible in Singapore, once again this smart lady made a strategic decision. Asian Americans feel less pressured in a east-west society like Singapore because for once you are no longer are restricted to a set of stereotypes/expectations - career, economic, social and political - and you no longer need to stay in your lane to avoid creating discomfort for the majority. That’s true Freedom and it contributes to your total well-being. Asian Americans who live in Singapore probably have better mental health and than those living in the US.

    • @RelationshipsWithQi
      @RelationshipsWithQi 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you for sharing this! I also experienced the other side of the coin you described - while in the US, I found it very hard to relate to my own counsellors who had little experience of life outside the US, being a minority, or the immigrant life. Cultural understanding is so important to the feeling of “belonging” (a fundamental human need).
