migrating

i chatted with an old friend the other night, he's in Canada, he, his wife and together with many of our friends and their love ones migrated there years back. he then asked me if i still had no plans of going there, without blinking an eye i said "no"

there are many reasons why i don't want to leave the country, which for me, is still a lot better. and people who have migrated to other countries would almost always give that perception that it is a lot better there

i'll stay here because i believe and i'm confident that i can make it here

i don't want to come home for funerals, just like what happened to others

i don't really like the feeling of being subjected to racism, experienced it, damn i hated it

here i can still hire house helps, there i have to be filthy rich to be able to do that

i want to be close to my daughter as much as possible, physically at least

i love this country so much that i felt that some has to stay to make things work

i will never leave, well maybe i will if i am forced to become a war refugee (knock on wood)
