During my short span of living in Singapore, I’ve heard many friends complained of how boring it is. The island is too small and there are not so many things to do.
Well, I’m not exactly an outdoor person, so perhaps it’s easier for me to say; but seriously, how do you afford some time for boredom?
I think even if we lived in a larger country, we could easily be bored too. Surely there would be more places to explore, but what if you simply didn’t enjoy travelling?
Thus, methinks the first step to kill boredom is to find yourself a hobby or two. As for myself, these are my typical day to day activities:
1. 6 – 7: Cooking and packing breakfast and lunch for the hubby.
2. 7 – 12: Working (assuming that I work at least five hours a day).
3. 12 – 13: Lunch / napping.
4. 13 – 15: Doing house chores.
5. 16 – 17: Cooking dinner.
6. 17 – 18: Checking emails and browsing.
7. 18 – 20: Watching Korean dramas on Channel U.
8. 20 – 22: Playing MMORPG with the hubby, reading, watching DVD, and the list goes on—
If you asked me, there is really no room to be bored. One thing we can always find in Singapore is an event to keep us entertained. I’m not so much into shopping, but many would agree that the GSS lights up the season — even if only for while.
Sometimes it’s worth to get yourself jostled by the masses during sale in Singapore. Last month’s book sale offered brand new hardcover books for only $7.
If you liked travelling, I don’t think the size of the country should not discourage you. Do you seriously think that people in Monaco stay at home all the time? Hey, Batam is only 45 minutes away. You could even drive to JB. I’d say even flight ticket to Thailand is still cheaper than some domestic flights in Indonesia.
But then again, at the end of the day, there is nothing better than spending some quality time with our loved one(s). So, say no to boredom!
