If you've been reading, you'd probably know that I've been wanting to go overseas to further my studies. And Australia was my choice, and I would have gone if I could. But, i doubt i'll be able to survive over there.
I can't survive with slow/no internet. (yes, I take technology for granted, and I rely a lot on the cyber world to keep me entertained.) And from what I've gathered, internet is limited and expensive, not just in Australia. As appose to Singapore's reasonably priced plans for unlimited speed, or whatever you'd call it in tech terms.
Since secondary school, we've all pretty much been texting and calling a lot on our mobile phones ya? Mobile plans are also pricey abroad, and again, limited talk time and data usage. Even though we've been cussing and swearing at Singtel, M1 and/or Starhub, the amount we pay is still what we can manage.
I guess it's only right to say that the reason I think these are too expensive and have become what I'd call luxury items if I'm abroad is because the cost of living is different at home and abroad. As much as I really want to leave Singapore in the near future, I do believe that Singapore is an affordable place to live in. (Circumstances will change if I manage to get a stable job with a decent income, only then will the above mentioned "problem" be solved.)
Despite all that, I still can't wait to leave. Lol.
