Homeliness is anywhere that feels safe and feels comforting.
I want to say home isn't a particular place. But then whenever I come back to Singapore, I go, "Yeah, this is home". I travel quite a bit and I refer to Singapore as home whenever I talk about it. I also believe that home is what you make of it; it doesn't matter where you are.
A lot of my favourite memories growing up were going over to my grandparent's place because my family is very close and tight-knit. We would see either my grandparents, aunts, or cousins at least two or three times a week. Sunday was the day everyone would come down in the afternoon and then have dinner. Both my grandparents have passed now so it's not as common that everyone meets. Also, everyone's older, we've got jobs and our own families.So that's still one of my favourite memories of growing up - just being around family and around really great food because everybody in my family can cook very well.
I've realised the older I've gotten, maybe there are certain things I shouldn't be doing as much like taking for granted the fact that I can have a roof over my head or I'm able to provide food for myself and my four animals [laughs]. I always tell myself I shouldn't be complaining as much, I'll be like, "you have so many things to be happy about, why are you complaining about small little things?" But at the same time, it makes us Singaporean - everybody shares this thing.
I'm not going to lie, if I see a queue I feel inclined to know what's that about and stand in it and figure out what's going on. It's these small things that connect all Singaporeans in a weird way and it's nice to connect like that, especially if you're outside of Singapore for long periods. It's nice, it reminds you of home.
