Migration thoughts on National Day

When I was in my twenties, I could not have imagined myself thinking and feeling the way I do today.

"I am happy to be filling in documents for migrating to country X on Singapore's National Day. The Singapore that I grew-up in and dreamed-of no longer exists. I have to make that leap for my long-term welfare, especially for my golden years. I am happy to be quitting Singapore."

Here is a blog entry by Lucky Singaporean that expressed very well my sentiments about being a Singapore citizen.
