Find Me A Singaporean 2...

What else to blog about except the fact that I am sick and living a "lifeless" life these few days. Its been the bed, medicine, bed, medicine and tv... occasionally the net.

Something interesting was this program called "Find Me A Singaporean 2". Its about Berlinda Lee, the mediacorp actress going to various countries looking for Singaporeans who are living over there. I love this kinda show as its always intriguing how foreigners adapt to another society's culture and its people. And the episode I caught was on a Singaporean guy who went all the way to Argentina in his pursuit for Tango. Yeah... Tango. He's 27 and he went there to chase his passion. Its really cool. Many of us have dreams but we would come to a point in time where we either lose the fire or give up due to surrounding circumstances. To the guy, I take my hat off. And he had to face a lot of difficulties such as student permit, language barrier, loneliness... etc etc Although he's been there for only half a year, it seems he has coped well. He had problems with his student permit because no Singaporean has gone to Argentina to pursue an education. And he took up spanish in order to communicate with the natives. He life just revolved around tango and he wanted to learn from the best and to immerse in the culture.

Dreams and Reality... Do they go hand in hand? Who decides it?
