Sometimes, work, school or passion projects take Singaporeans out of the country to a foreign land. Whether it's permanent or temporary, absence makes the heart grow fonder and being away from home for a long period of time can be hard for some. This National Day, we asked 5 Singaporeans currently living abroad what they miss most about Singapore.

"During National Day celebrations in secondary school, I was able to celebrate the occasion with my classmates," she recounted to AsiaOne.Joey added that lessons from Singapore's history made her and her classmates appreciate all the things our ancestors did for Singapore.Other than that, she sorely misses local food, specifically wonton noodle and chicken rice.
While she's been gone for over a decade, she always feels warm and welcomed whenever she lands in Changi Airport. And while Japan is known for having good food as well, she's found that the locals there think highly of hawker food too, which makes her heart swell with pride. Though she is far away from Singapore, she told us that she still celebrates National Day in her own way in Japan — by watching the parade live on YouTube.Just four months ago, Kian Yang moved to London for work and has plans to stay there permanently.And like most of the other Singaporeans on this list, she misses how affordable the food is, as well as tropical fruit."They're always so friendly and such a treat to spot roaming about," she said.
