Feel foreign in my homeland

I wondered if anyone out there ever feels this way - as if you are foreigner in your own country.

I went to my chiropractor today. She is an American. After the session, I went to buy a packet of Cha Siew Rice. The female stall assistant who took my orders was from China (judging from her accent). I am OK with her till she did not return my change of 30 cents. I told her politely that I have given her a 50 cent coin and she was supposed to give me a change. To my surprise, she argued loudly and insisted that I have given her a 20cent coin and no change is required. I am sure that I had given her a 50cent coin as I have tried to search for a 20cent and there was none. As I did not wish to make a scene over 30 cents, I left swearing under my breathe that I would never patron that stall again as long as that woman is there.

Went for my facial in the afternoon and realised that my beautician was, in fact, from Ipoh , Malaysia. Another foreigner. Took the LRT home and it was filled was Mainland Chinese, Filipinos and a Caucasian.

Nowadays, I feel foreign in my own country. I miss the times when foreigners could only be found in city areas; when the residents in my neighbourhood were mainly Singaporeans; when the stall assistants were mainly local aunties and uncles. I miss those days. I love my homeland dearly, but as more and more foreigners join us, I can't help but feel foreign in my homeland. Ten years down the road, would I still be able to "recognise" this homeland? Would I still feel at home here?
