Yes! Finally..

Haha! I have been wanting to post a blog regarding my trip to Singapore but I was too busy sending my resume online and going to companies for a walk in interview. But sad to say, lady luck was not on my side. I'm still jobless here. But again, I still have two weeks before my visa expires so i guess that would be enough time for me to find a job.

Going back, Singapore is a very nice and clean place. Not even a very tiny candy wrapper is scattered. Dried leaves are the only "mess" that you will see around. People here are much disciplined. Well, I guess you really have to be that way if you are living in the so called "fine city".

With my two- week stay here I can say that I was able to adapt easily to their way of living. People here usually take the MRT and buses to reach their destination.s For their MRT, they have three lanes- green, red and purple. For each lane there would be an interchange where people can ride to a different train so that they can travel to a different lane. Example, from our place, if I want to go Bugis( Green Lane), i just need to ride the MRT( Admiralty Station- Red Lane) and alight in City Hall Station. This station has an interchange which means that it has both red and green lane. So i just need to alight from the train and transfer to the train across it so that I will be able to reach Bugis station.

For their buses, you need to memorize the bus number that will take you to a particular place. For example, from our place, if i want to go to woodlands to attend the mass, i will just take bus number 913, alight in Woodlands station then take another bus, 912 which will stop just across the church. Are you confused now? Haha! Well i was. It's really hard to understand by just listening to the instruction. You have to experience it yourself so that you will learn.And by the way, Singapore has its own version two-decker bus. Haha! I was able to ride one already.

Oh! I almost forgot, for both the bus and the mrt, one mode of payment is being used. It is called top up. It is the same with the lrt card it's just that, the top up is like a cellphone that you need to recharge so that you can continue using it. This is more convenient because you will not be needing to get money in your wallet every now and then every time you will be paying for your fare. before you ride the bus or mrt you need to swipe your top up and you will do the same thing when you alight. You will be able to see how much balance you have everytime you swipe your top up and you will also receive a message stating that if you already need to re-load your card.

Next will be the places where I have been. First will be in Orchard. We went a day after the pay day so a friend treated me. We went to Food Republic to eat. This is like our food court back home. Most of the foods are chinese and thai. I'm not a fan of those types of foods but i gave it a shot. Ate mimi ordered Prawn Noodles. And honestly, it's one of the best that i have ever tasted though it's a bit spicy because of the chili sauce. I have a picture of it but that was after I ate. I forgot to take a picture of it before I had a mouthful of it. Haha!

By the way, unlike in the Philippines, each food stall offers different types of foods. If you chose to sell Korean Foods you need to stick with it. They also have a different stall for drinks. You need to buy your drinks separately. I guess that is a smart strategy so that everyone will be able to sell their products.

Another thing about their foods, most of it are spicy. I guess that explains why several of the people here, well, do not smell good. Really! When i say they don't smell good, they honestly don't smell better than someone who has not taken a bath for three days. Ugh! Disgusting. And I am really discussing this when I am talking about food. Great! Haha! Going back with foods, I have not really tasted much of their cuisines since it is very seldom that we go out. Plus the fact that I have limited budget, I can't afford to just spend my small amount of money for food. Haha!


Hmmm. What else can I share. Oh! I was able to see the boutiques of two famous names for bags, Chanel and LV! But I did not dare enter. Haha! I might like some of the bags and I will just get just frustrated since I can't afford to buy one for now. Haha! How ambitiuos can I get? Haha!

And just so I will have a remembrance, I took a picture of the facade of each boutique. Just for keeps! Haha!

In orchard as well, I was able to eat their own version of dirty ice cream. The flavored ice cream was sandwiched in between two crunchy wafers. Yum! It costs one Singaporean Dollar.


We will be going to Sentosa this coming Sunday with my aunt.I'm really excited because I will finally be seeing the famous Merlion and will be able to ride the cable ride. Hope it will not rain on that day. Haha!

I guess that's it for now. I have not been to lots of places yet since like what I said I am saving my money for more important things. Maybe if I get lucky and I will get hired, will earn my own money again, then I can just go ahead and explore the whole Singapore. Haha! Till next time.
