Comparison is the thief of joy. Just be you and that should be ok 👍
Blessed indeed 🌻
easier said than done, even if one manages do that, comparisons it is constantly being brought in externally by relatives, parents boss, teacher etc
One of the problems with comparing yourself with someone else is some of those really successful people are blessed with a lot of talent. You may not have that talent so it pointless comparing. What you can do is find out what your talent is and develop it.
Hi there, as a millennial who was born here, here's what I feel about my country:
1) the country felt more like a "humble nation and home" til the 2000s and that's when we started losing our own identity as a nation when we wanted to transform ourself to a global hub.
2) people here are very Conservative despite how we speak/dress. Racism and homophobia still exists. Sometimes subtle, sometimes blatantly.
3) Singaporeans have become very materialistic especially in the last two decades. The Singaporean dream just never seems to come true as people here are never content. They just want more.
4)People here live in such a sheltered, controlled environment that they eventually start living in their own bubble. It develops a lifestyle that can pretty much only survive within singapore.
5) the competitiveness within us has gone from a healthy competition to "do anything to one up the other" also known as " makan(eat) others, don't kenah makan (get eaten). This has led to a dip is graciousness in our society. As you mentioned, being content is so difficult when Singaporeans are always chasing after the "next leap".
This are just my personal opinion and I'm sorry if this offends anyone. I am writing this from my heart as I feel that the country I grew up in has just changed to a soulless metropolis. 🥺
Agree with your sentiments. Singapore is materialistic, overcompetive "kiasu", and sadly quite soulless
Brother...i thoroughly agree with all your points as i lived through the experiences you went and felt throughout. Exactly the same thoughts and sentiments....i really miss the old Singapore before year 2000... those days are long gone...and now our nation is just souless and lost the true identify of what it means to be a Singaporean. It is really sad...
@@kimtan95 Totally agree with u that S'pore has become 'soulless'. I only realised that when returning from Dubai in 2004.
Money never enough. Don't worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will come and go and take care of itself, just be contented.
Hey bro, great video about the struggles you've faced in SG.
Firstly, there's nothing wrong with always being early. I personally like being early than punctual because if you try to be punctual, chances are, you'll end up late. And I don't like being late.
When it comes to being content bro, I truly believe that if you are able to be independent, and support yourself financially, doing what you're passionate about, you don't have to be concerned with what others are doing. Everybody's journey in life is different. What can be seen as a success to someone might be very different for others.
I used to feel the way you feel man. I can relate (even as a Singaporean myself). But once I accepted that everybody progresses at their own pace and speed, I became okay with my own progress.
Keep it up! You're doing great!
I've always been ponctual and almost never late or early (I both hate losing my time or making people lose their time so...). It's just about training to estimate precisely how much time it will take you to prepare AND go from A to B. Add 5 to 10 minutes to that estimation and you'll always be ponctual lol
How impressive your opinion about life is!
I really hate people who are consistently late. Some friends are late for more than 1 hr and don’t feel guilty. Urgh. Not all Singaporeans are like that though.
I leave after 15mins of waiting.. Whatever the excuse or reason is.. For associates who are consistently late.. I simply stop making friends with them
I hate them too. It's disrespectful.
Do the same with these people, let them wait for you.
Within 5 min I'll call them up. If they are still too far away I'll leave. I don't like to wait. I'm more of the impatient type.
As a Singaporean, I very much dislike people who are consistently late or taking their own sweet time. these people have no considerations for others.
The contentment part hits hard. It’s true that being contented is hard in sg. It always seems like everyone is better. But there is always the other side of the story. No one will flaunt the sad part of their lives. We tend to imagine or create this image that other ppl live better than us.
Welcome to the rat race
Ghib lives on a decent passive income...i dont think he is in the rat race bro...
Anti Japanese feelings are upon certain older generation group.. Not all.. It's still good place to stay in Singapore.. Stay well and safe, Ghib..
Japanese k i l l ed many ethnic Chinese in Singapore/Malaysia. Many still don't remember.
@@cyber1991 yes don;t need hate, but needs remember it
As what LKY said, Forgive but Not to Forget. You can check another video of Ghib for World War II Memorial Park in Sg. Meaningful
@Duncan Donut Donut usually those whose grandparents have been killed by the japanese in WWII
@@cyber1991 they do, if it has happened within their own families (grandparents or great grandparents)
Best thing about having no season in Singapore is you never need to buy 4 sets of clothing 😁😁😁
Oh but i want a place to wear my jacket. Where can i wear jacket then?
I always marvel when you get so much joy out of eating things we take for granted, like muah Chee or economic rice. Your love of life is very contagious and much needed during these times. And as for struggles, we all have different struggles and that adds to the spice of life. And lastly, while it's true that Singapore was under Japan rule during the war, this is the mistakes of the past, and the world have all moved forward, do not take the sad comments to heart.
最後の点は難しい問題ですけど、隣の芝は何とやらってことなんでしょうね。
恐らく同世代のリーマンの私からすると、不自由なく英語が使え、世界を旅し、移住した先で独立した生活を手に入れられているジブオジは十分成功者です!笑
It's a very competitive society here.
Ahh, but you have achieved ! You have managed to show Singapore from a foreigner’s perspective and have become one of the most entertaining UA-cam channels in Singapore all because you are so down to earth. Grass is not always greener on the other side with high achievers! Don’t stress , just be you! On a side note, very sad to see Bugis St so quiet!
Hi Ghib, as a local, I also don't like it when things don't start on time. I prefer when everyone is punctual, it shows courtesy to all parties :)
I totally agree, it's basic respect which I don't see often in SG.
Of course it's basic courtesy. But Japan is 99-100% Japanese. SG is comprised of people from all over the world, 1st ,2nd and 3rd world bringing with them their own work culture, habits, respect, disrespect , courtesy, rudeness etc... Culture is something you cannot compare.
@@limchyehock6722 I don't see punctuality observed even when meeting friends -whom are Singaporeans!
I agree. It irks me every time when I’m slightly early for a meet up with friends & they arrive about half an hour or even one hour late ! All Singaporeans. Bad habit.
No respect for time is no respect for others. Why should you waste my time when I can waste my own time?
This is a great video. You just sound so natural! It is also very relaxing to watch.
I’m a full-fledged Singaporean, but I agree with you on the second point. I cannot stand lateness, and even more so when people make excuses for it. I’ve been called out for being uptight by my friends, but that was just how I was raised, hence, punctuality is very important to me.
I think it depends more on ones’ upbringing and values. But for a country that’s always rushing, I do agree that being late is a pretty prevalent issue in Singapore.
４年間シンガポールに住みました。色々ありありましたがもう一度住みたい国です。日本より良かったです。
"no sense of time passing"...
Haiyah... Singaporean visit Japan to feel the seasons
Keep up the great work! All the best to you!
Best video so far, Gib! I like how u shared yr heart and feeling. This video was very relatable. Make more!
I am local, one thing locals & foreigners working in here can learn is good manner, Japanese are the most courtesy & considerate to others.
Ya I also hate locals & foreigners not clearing their trays after eating, mess up the table with left over & some are very rude as customer & as service workers.
Japanese are very gracious, we need to learn from.
Singapore is such a great country. It is beautiful and comfortable. I love this country, my second home for 11 yrs.
How I sometimes deal with punctuality issue is to spend the waiting time doing my stuff, so I don't feel like it's time wasted, which makes me feel better.
LOL the mother in law clip for the retention rate was hilarious 😂
All seriousness, I think your last struggle is something we all go through to some extent, even in the corporate world. The grass will always be greener on the other side, when you decide to look through their filters. I really hope you are able to nail down on what makes you happy, and prioritise that personal joy over things like the number of views...but I also know it’s difficult since you’re a full time UA-camr! Keep up Ghib-san! We’re all rooting for you!
Hi Ghib. Don’t feel stress or question why you’re not content. It’s great to hear that it drives you to do better and whether you’re a Japanese or Singaporean, most of us feel the same as you do! You’re doing an amazing job and stay true to yourself!
I feel you, Ghib! You are not alone. Jia you!
In Singapore, if you don't get ahead, you already gone behind. This is called "Kiasu, Kiasi and Kiabor - scared to lose, scared to die and scared of spouse. Schools here also forgotten to teach about manners, except to get ahead, that's why many Singaporeans always late and never shameful nor bother to apologise.
Schools have always been teaching about manners and punctuality. Try being late for lessons or examinations. It is the parents that have not been teaching. Parents are the role models for children.
I understand where you're coming from, and it's nice that you're trying to accommodate the differences.
私がシンガポールに住んでいちばんキツいな。と思ったのは「季節がない事」でした。
暑さ自体もハワイのようにカラッとはしてないし。
日本にいると当たり前に思っていた、季節毎の楽しみがなかったのはつらかったですね。
ジブさんが言ってたその他の事はあんまり気にならなくなりました。
Love the video, great to see your view after seeing the perspectives of Europeans and Americans who have moved to Singapore. 👍👍😃
lovin your channel and content!!
keep that mindset of being early. Its better to wait than them waiting for us. I was raised that way too!
You might notice that Singapore Chinese wedding dinners never start on time. That's because coming early or on time implies you are anxious or desperate to eat so people come late. It might explain some of the tardiness ... an unconscious need to appear not anxious or desperate for whatever is on the table - whether food or a deal.
Just be happy and be home safe with family is the best gift. No need to compare with others.
“Comparison is the thief of joy.”
There is this saying 人比人气死人. Basically it is pointless to compare. Coz it only make you feel negative about yourself and distract you from looking ahead. So it is better to progress at your own pace. Your goals are your own, hence there will only be one winner - You. Just keep going and eventually you will get there. 💪
or 人比人比死人
I live in Hawaii, so I have summer whole year and the customer services in Hawaii is not so good. When I was in Singapore, I thought Singapore was much better than Hawaii I live. I really miss traveling to Singapore and other Asian countries
I've never been to Singapore but we can see inside the country from your sharings, keep it up!
Hi Ghib, about your struggles about being content, I recently saw this quote from a yogi which may help enlighten you a bit. He said something like "You should not be better or worse than anyone else. You must be the best that you can be - that is all.." :)
Great quote! Thanks!
For an Indian like me Singapore is still by far one of the best countries with good life. life in India is much harder to the point that nobody even cares about petty problems or (in their point of view) small things like being on time or delivering good customer service or keeping things clean, safe and tidy. All we have to suffer is garbage politicians doing rallies and destroying the people's minds and the growth of this country because of selfish reasons. Singapore is also a very social and friendly place where everybody speaks English and its easy to communicate. People are also simple and direct minded compared to many other countries so it is easy to get to them for things like communication or implying things. I really hope someday my country changes and becomes more livable but right now is really not the time. Anyway thanks for the vlog :D !
You can really notice the season changes, especially when the year goes into the cool Nov to Feb period and the usually hotter period between April to September.
Bullshit
Hi Ghib-San, you are right when highlighting the struggle of being content and there is some pressure in our society to pursue a comfortable lifestyle which bleeds down into pressures parents and the education system exert on our children. It differs between families and communities you are exposed to.
I feel you bro. I had this friend who is constantly late, found it really tactless towards other parties.
Impressions of a country from a foreigner’s viewpoint are usually spot on, like yours. You are doing a great job showing what it like to live in Singapore, especially to others who are thinking of relocating there.
Love your videos!
Hello Ojisan, I think your views are frank and honest. Thanks for the comments and observations! Keep it up !
I am a Singaporean and it still angers mean about the poor service standard in this country. I remember during Lee Kuan Yew era as PM, Singapore service standard was 1st class world standard. Now, it is extremely rare due to the fact that the whole dynamic of running this country has changed quite drastically. Singapore in LKY's era has became Singapore Inc now, from economic sense, labour became cheap which affect their sense of pride in serving which resulted in having attitude problems towards the customers. Moreover, some of the bosses didn't care, about customer's feelings, with the view that as long as their workers are cheap and that matters to them. There were times I get shocked when the staffs simply ignored me when I approached them for help or told me that I have option to shop elswhere if i wasn't unhappy.
It happened recently when I was at bugis, near the temple, looking for pillow case and a PRC lady staff told me that I can't choose the design I was looking for, because she claims that it makes her life difficult for having to re-arrange her display item. When you insisted on wanting the design you found, she waved you away. This specific area of unhappiness, is pretty consistent across the island, as opposed to other 6 areas mentioned.
I just came across your channel and enjoyed watching some videos. In one video you mentioned not being contented. I used to have this feeling too....ask yourself "how much do I really need?" I had the same feeling too, until realizing that wanting and attaining more and more did not equate to being happy. Wishing you well.
Do ur best, and yet keep the contentment! 💪
true blue singaporean moment when you saw the 50 cent pineapple and went wa lao (07:20)
I feel that your last struggle is so relatable. Singapore is very competitive which makes everyone want to be the best they could or else they feel like losing out and inferior to some. But the thing is, u should always aim to get better without forgetting how you started off and progress till this point and be proud of it. Everyone is different and hence i believe everyone will have a success of their own. Don't take others opinion too seriously haha jiayou ojisan!
I was just going to do a post but then saw that your post said exactly what i was going to say. 💯 🤗
You can choose to live in Japan and Singapore during different seasons. Then you can share the different cultures of the 2 countries and get the best of both worlds ;-)
你好👋🏻とても役に立つ動画でした👏生活していく上で、悩みは尽きないものです。それらを糧にして、シンガポールライフを楽しんでください。これからも応援します💫
Keep up the good work. Like your videos on 日本-新加坡 cultural differences.
友達がシンガポールに昔暮らしていて、そこでインターナショナルスクールに通ってました。
友達曰く、本当にお金持ちが多くて、クラスで旅行に行く時飛行機のクラスはビジネス以上しか乗った事がないって子が彼女以外みんなだったって話を聞きました。
Being content. I think there is happy medium between being content and striving for something important. I personally struggle with that no matter where I am because I think the search for that happy medium is an internal thing (certainly influenced by external factors too). I think it's a matter of first clarifying what defines personal contentment; figuring out a major life goal to strive for; then and only then, execute a plan so that both co-exist in your life in order to enrich it. In that case, one would ideally be content and feel alive, regardless of where one lives or who you are with. At least, that is my working plan.
Thank you for still producing walking videos during covid.
ジブさん こんばんは！ シンガポールに住んでみてまだ短いなりに思うのは、言い方変ですが、国として（政府？）のIQがめっちゃ高い国だと思います。政治家や官僚のIQが高いのでしょう。合理的・スピーディに国民にとって良いことを実施していく力がすごいなと。（きっと日本から来たからより強くそう思う？） 本当にいろいろ細かいところまで合理的でスピーディで最高です。
Thank you Ghib for being an awesome bridge between Singapore and Japan! Singapore and Japan have to be good friends. Hope you stay in this country happily for the rest of your life. Blessings to you and your family in Singapore and Japan 🇸🇬 💗 🇯🇵
Nice video! Thx for sharing your perspective 😀
I think we arrived approx in the same time in Singapore 🙂
Dude, u r successful enough !!!! I’m proud of u as a Japanese and hope I can take my kids to Singapore after COVID and let them see what’s out there 🇯🇵
Social comparison bias is a big issue in the age of social media :/
Well, if you want to feel content, then do feel content. Don't compare yourself and define your own success. But if you want people's admiration, then it'll be difficult to be content. Drop your ego, don't seek admiration from other people, then go ahead & be happy & content.
"Some people hate Japanese", you are right, there are haters for everything, nothing in the world escapes that.
But as someone who watches anime and love Japanese culture / food, I can assure you I love Japan and there are tons of people like me in Singapore - Way more than the haters.
Wow, me too I also like Japanese food and many thing..
Yes it a challenge esp in Singapore to be at peace and contented with what we have and who we are. We are all learning.
When you reach the top of the highest mountain all you will see is clouds & sky.
Feeling content & reaching the peak leads to emptiness. Being driven & hungry for goals is better.
Ghib-san, everyone would kill to be a successful youtuber! Without having to work a 9-5 job, being your own boss is what most singaporeans and me would be envious of 🙂🙂 don't say that you can't be proud of yourself because being an entertainer like you brings endless of smiles and joy to people. You've got no idea how many days of people you've brighten up, especially during the pandemic and circuit breaker.. so don't ponder over it and just enjoy what you do because you're doing great! We will be here to stay and watch you grow!
Ghib with the travel bubble with HK starting soon you should totally fly over there and make some videos
I've been to Singapore a few times, mainly for the F1. Absolutely love Singapore. I think it's the only other country I could live in.
僕は来日以前、地元の人の私はシンガポールで30年にわたって住んでいたころ、満足感を感じた日は一つもなっかた。逆に、日本は私のような外国人にとってあまり優しくなくて、色々大変なことがあったからこそ、自分自身を挑戦して、問題や障壁を乗り越えて、恐怖を克服して、今かなり成長してもっと自立で強くなった。日本、ありがとうなあ。
まさか、ジブさんもシンガポールに飽きてしまったのか？
The last struggle reason hit me real hard cause it’s true.
It is always tough for transnational marriage couple. My husband stayed in SG after we got married . When we have kids I have better reason to let them grown up study here. But I know he is bored here sometime in SG especially when more & more of his friends went back Aussie for good. I know his stay in SG is not totally because of me. If this is not a nice place I doubt he can stay for so many years (almost 20 over years). I guess if it is not because of COVID you will not be so emo & make this video. Don’t worry, when this pandemic over and u can freely travel again, u should feel better again.
Helpful!
Ghib, i can understand how you feel when you meet Singaporeans who hate Japanese because of the history, The war was a very unfortunate and painful things for human races, including the Japanese. I am sure it is something that we hope it will not happen again and we can all live in a peaceful and harmonious way. What you do in your content creation and vlog have certainly bring Singaporeans and Japanese closer and understand each other a little more. Thanks you and definitely looking forward to many more creation of yours.
Jia you (加油）！
Super video! I applauded for SGD 5.00 👏👏
Thanks Dawn!
I think overall, Singapore is still a pretty easy place to live... of course I'm generalising... but compared to living in London or New York, it's really much more affordable and easier on the soul.
Thank you for sharing. You are doing fine. Just keep doing what you love and you will be happy. If you are happy everybody around you will be influenced by your happiness. Keep up your good work.🤗
Hi Ghib, I enjoyed watching your videos and I like your attitude and manners. I very happy for you to have a great Singapore family and friend like Jimmy Yap. You are a good young man, we must go out for a meal with Jimmy when I come back to Singapore again. I am same age as Jimmy and I left Singapore when I was 19 years old and am retired in U.K.
Honestly, the late thing is not exactly fun for locals as well. I find that it happens often because of the following reasons: because the person with authority is also always late, the person being late is a huge senior in terms of age, the person being late is just so unrefined that they wouldn't understand but you need something from them & need to get things done that you bear with it.
I feel really freindly from you! Dont compare yourself from other you already have a lot of things bro 💯
I totally get the part where the cleaning aunties/uncles are often in a hurry to clear your tray despite the fact that you're still eating. Some people here can be quite uncultured and impolite. This is something that we singaporeans ought to learn from the Japanese 😅😅
Thanks for sharing your struggles. On your last struggle, you have to stop comparing yourself to others and decide what would make your life meaningful. Hope you’ll find your answer.
By the way, I’m also very strict with time discipline and expect the same from others at work, so not being punctual is not quite a norm especially in the working environment.
That shrimp cracker literally had whole shrimps on it! Wow!
I understand your frustration when things don't start on time, and to be fair, it's exactly the same in some of the north american cities I've lived in. It takes time but you'll get used to it! :D
I thought most Singaporean are very concerned about punctuality? Maybe I used to work in an aviation industry, the people I worked with are all very punctual, was a little sad to hear that, as I feel being punctual is a form of showing a good up bringing. Anyway, thanks for knowing that Singaporean have a warm heart. ❤️
Like wedding banquets?
@@myoung1970s To be honest, I have not attended a wedding lately, those I attended was pretty right on time {Chinese wedding banquet}, but I have to admit in those good old days, like in the 70s, it was a custom to start the dinner late, it’s kind of a cultural things. Many younger generation didn’t like those practice and have been trying to change it.
I didn't realise struggling to feel content was a Singapore thing but interesting point as it is very easy to compare yourself to others in a small but very rich country
Fair assessment
I used to study in singapore back in 2013-2016. i loved it there. it is suuuuper safe, clean, and i have never felt the need to lock my apartment door lol. ugh it's like heaven compared to where I live!
before covid hit, i have to go to japan very often for meetings as my company has a japan office. i remember the first time i went to japan and my Japanese colleague brought me to our client for a meeting 45mins early!
You used to lived in Japan ?
Hi Ghib! Im a freelance physical fitness trainer. And i get what you mean by not contended. After awhile i realised that being significant in someone else life is much more important than being successful. thats when i know when im contended. as long as my family, friends, trainees are happy then thats a good thing :)
spot on👍🏼
I've only been on vacation to Singapore but loved it so came here three times. But conversations with taxi drivers, for example, paint a different picture and they often referred to it as a 'fine' country 💵 Not sure I could cope with the heat coming from the UK though but loved how clean and safe it feels. Oh.. and the FOOD!!!! Love your channel!
I think that struggle 8 is a great point of tension that we should all have. Having a desire to grow and achieve more doesn't equate to being discontented. We can be perfectly content with where we are, but we should also have a continuous desire to enlarge our capacity and see where that can take us. The key is to be grateful and enjoy at each point, but to never put a ceiling that will limit your potential.
毎回良い動画ありがとうございます。最後の課題は同じことを私も考えていました。日本である程度の幸せを感じられているのは、格差が露骨に見えにくいからであり、特に外資資本の多いシンガポールでは、ローカルの方は否応なしに格差を目の当たりにしているのだろうと。それが貪欲さ向上心に寄与する一因とも。幼少期10年過ごしたシンガポールは今も私の紛れもない愛する故郷ですが、その距離は年々遠くなるばかりです。次回も動画楽しみにしています！
I love the culture of Japan. They took pride in whatever they do or work. Always courteous, approachable and helpful. Even alittle fine things, they can make it so appealing. I lOVE Japan 🇯🇵😍
Only superficial!

1) Do you consider Japan as a highly developed and advanced country ?
2) How would you personally rate Japan (from culture to technology, architecture, food, scenery/landscape, etc.) from a scale level of 1 to 10 ?
3) If you have 3 or more words to describe Japan, what would it be ?

Thanks for sharing your story, Ghib. It must be a struggle to live in the foreign country(eventho' it might feel like home) and especially during this tough times. Mental health issues are faced by many and i hope everyone will stay safe, sane, and healthy!
I like how you try to communicate with the stall owners in mandarin :)
I wish I can become more fluent!
@@GhibOjisan you have already gotten better! Keep it up!
You are doing something you love not stuck in the work just to earn monthly wages. Success is only for show, you did not see the hardwork behind. Anyway just be yourself.
I have to say that Japanese r really strict on time. I used to bring Japanese high sch students arnd sg and once we were almost late to return because of a train fault. I told them I’d explain to their sensei but they were really scared and we ran all the way from the mrt back to their hotel 😅
ブギス、旅行でホテルが近かったので、懐かしかったです。フルーツ買ってた所、多分私も同じとこで買いました。見た時ないもの沢山で、楽しかったです。私も海外生活、国際結婚ですが、時間に関しては、5年経って、ようやく慣れた気がします。やっぱり、同じようにドップリ浸かって、気にしない事ですね。シンガポールはもしかしたら日本人が日常的に多くて日本と変わりない生活できるから、余計そうかもしれないですね。頑張ってください！
I like Singapore very much...clean & safety...👍🥰
I've been to Bugis Street Market several times and I never knew it had upper levels!
Personally, I love visiting Singapore because it seems to me that everything is an upgrade compared to where I'm from. I certainly want to try to live in Singapore, but the challenge I see is sustainability. But if given the chance, I'll definitely try to stay in Singapore longer just to immerse myself more in the local culture :)
Congratulations! You are a true Singaporean now as you are never content.
