What kind of migrant would you be?

I've thought about this and I can't decide.

Does migration mean giving up what I've been for the past 40 years? No?

Then does it mean an obstinate clinging on to the past despite moving on to a new country? No?

Is there then a balance that exists for Singaporeans who have migrated to Australia?

With that thought in mind, over the past few weeks, I have joined several groups on Facebook. These groups all had a common starting point - they featured Singaporeans who are living abroad in Australia at the moment or at least planning to.

After a few weeks, I still can't tell. There is a healthy dose of Singaporean news, at times maybe a little too much though perhaps that is because the groups do hold many Singaporeans in the midst of making the move Down Under. Who knows? That frequent poster of Singapore related news might be me once I've made the move across.

I discovered something else though as I was wondering about this - Singaporeans have a strong sense of community than I've suspected. I was struck by the efforts made to get together for picnics or whatnots and offers of  help for newly-landed migrants. These were, I might add, what was on the surface for all to see, I'm pretty sure there are many more instances of Singaporeans helping one another that go unannounced. I applaud their efforts and look forward to joining them in playing it forward when the opportunity arises.
 So ... what kind of migrant would I be?

I don't know at the moment but I plan to enjoy the journey.

Time to shrug off the comforts of Singapore and embrace uncertainty.
