Over the weekend my uncle who migrated to Australia came with his son back to ask me and my mom to have dinner with them. I became very angry with him during the dinner. Here's why.

All his children completed university in Australia all 4. He asked me how come I didn't go university. I told him Singapore had limited places for Singaporeans in university during my time so I did not go. Then he show us pictures of his home with swimming pool garden and a long white fence. Talk and talk then asked us why we never upgraded from 2 room flat. I told him Singapore housing is very expensive and 2 room flat is big enough for me and my mom.

Then he went on to say he just bought a car for his youngest son who just finished his university in RMIT. Initially I heard wrongly and thought he said MIT but got R in front. I told him since I got my license I have never driven a car in Singapore because public transport is so good.

As the dinner dragged on, I  realised he was showing off to us his life in Australia is very good. WTF.

Australia is not even a good meritocracy.
It's just some backwater always changing govt....cannot compare with Singapore.

When you only keep looking at yourself , you will never able to perceive what is good and bad in life. He may be showing off and the government always change but the his family's life in term is much better than yours.Mind you , not just his life but his family. And he is a immigrant and not a local. We have a same  Gov for over 50 years , have your life be better than his family? I see you are too caught up or obsessed with your stock market and your cash get stuck there.You cannot move forward.
