Hi there
My name is Narisha, i am an indian from South Africa.
I have been living in Singapore now for almost 2 years. When i first moved here i found it difficult to adapt. Reason being is that i felt alone in a foreign place and was missing my loved ones in South Africa Johannesburg.
Then we applied for a school for my daughter who was starting secondary school. We had applied in South Africa and had not received any positive feedback even though we are South African citizens this really dissappointed me.
Nevertheless just 2 weeks after relocating to Singapore "Ministry of Education" had a wonderful lady go to the school of our choice and try to have my daughter enrolled. Within 3 days we were contacted and told that she had been accepted. You would not believe my joy because i was affraid she would waste a year at home especially since we still had not received any positive feedback from a school back in SA.
And here we were in a foreign place where we didn't even go to the school but MoE had someone sent to the school! To me this related alot about SINGAPORE and what their priorities are. That was when i made up my mind that i will remain here. I knew everything else will become easier in time.
I now love this beautiful, safe and clean country and i hope i never have to leave it. It has become my home. Let me add that i was a smoker for almost 28 years of my life after living in Singapore for just 1 year i decided i will quit just because i love this place so much and want to continue living here. So there you have it my version of A Paradise on Earth.
