Lone Rangers

Foreigner ... That's what we are called, for people from Indonesia, China, Japan, India and other country, who came for studying or working in Singapore. Every foreigner have this thought in mind "Will I be a lone ranger in this country?". I've seen many foreigners living as lone rangers here. But yet, I've seen foreigners living as if they are at home in this country. Today I was attending Unit Asia Jazz Concert in Singapore Concert Hall together with a group of Indonesians. Since I lived in Singapore, I've always given a chance to meet new people very often, specially Indonesians. And today I met another two new Indonesians who came here for a job. We were enjoying our time together, laughing together, care for one and another... feels like having a family here. Why is this happening?



I guess it's because we were created to give. Perhaps you feel you have nothing to give and you are a nobody. But the truth is .. you are somebody, and sure you could be a giver. This is what I see in a beautiful friendship today. Some give a smile, another person give a hug. Few person do some menial but meaningful task to help someone. Initiative contact few friends to join. Waiting for one another. Taking pictures. Being there together, tell jokes, sharing and laughing together. Share umbrella. All that simple actions ... strengthen one another, create a warm family touch to everyone's journey even though we are far away from home. Friends, somebody needs what you have to share. Somebody needs your friendship. Because you are unique, and God didn't make you to function as "Lone Rangers". Every single one of you .... is SOMEBODY even to SOMEONE. You could start from a simple action ... SMILE =) , that's make a huge difference on our journey.
