Ever since I had to move out of my childhood home because some big corporation bought the land, I keep wondering what is home. With this project, I am trying to examine what makes Singapore so unique. Sometimes I feel like a voyeur peering into this unique country, other times I feel part of this whole craziness. From being in the United States for a year, I realised that a lot of Singaporeans lack the courage to question and think critically. Since young, most of us are being molded to conform to society, to not question authority. We were also taught that too much freedom brings chaos, like workers on strike, protests. However, in most Western countries, we are being seen as a restrictive, totalitarian country. Somehow, the citizens here are happy with status quo and not affected by how things are being run. What make us unique? Is it the Confucius Ideas we were brought up with?

In the coming fall, I am interested to find out what makes Singapore my home, besides that my friends and family are here. What are the unique and distinct qualities that cannot be found anywhere else. Despite being here for the past 21 years, ever since my house was demolished, I am still searching for a home.
