Try to think about how this will shape your future, and what a unique chance you are able to have. You will come out of this experience a new person- why make your memories negative ones?

having a stint in Singapore myself I have to agree with this.
I missed out on travelling to a few extra places because I just flat out didn't make myself. I missed out on British Hong Kong, Burma (pre-Myanamar), more Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
