Part 1/12:

Reflections on Home, Belonging, and Discovery in Singapore

A Journey of Cultural Immersion and Personal Growth

Living abroad often brings a deep sense of displacement, even when one considers a new place as home. In this heartfelt reflection, the narrator describes feeling "foreign" in Singapore despite loving it immensely. The weekly Sunday bus trips with family serve as grounding moments, offering glimpses into the microcosm of society that the city-state embodies. Observing passersby, witnessing acts of kindness—like someone helping a child unwell—symbolize the human connections that thrive in everyday interactions.
