Singapore...

Omg! Has it been that long since I last updated this blog. Looks like it...

It has been 4 months since I had come to Singapore and I have settled in well. It has been great to be home and with my family, especially my chubby chub chubs, my niece & nephew. It is amazing how a kid and a toddler can entertain me all day long and I still yearn for them to repeat their silly tantrums and joyful pranks on me.

Home is good. It has a lot of changes. Starting with Singapore. The island that has approximately more than 4million people is still expanding! Amazing!!!! New building has cropped up and one of them is the height defying Marina Bay Sands. It is really awesome, especially at night. It looks amazing and sometimes makes me wonder, can designs and architectures get any weirder in Singapore. Although the design is clean and has sophistication written all over it, it does challenge the notion of gravity and balance with a huge ship like roof deck...You have to see it to be amazed! I have yet to travel all the way up, which is a good  55-storey high!!!! It is called the Sands Skypark that is a 1 hectare sky terrace on the roof which  houses the world's longest  elevated swimming pool along with a museum, restaurants, nightclubs and a garden as well. I will go by there, once I have gotten over the height phobia! Seriously, 55 story high!!! Wow!!! But my friends and family who had been there said that it is truly amazing looking down upon the whole island!!!...okie, challenge is accepted and I shall, within the next few months give it a go.


The other interesting discovery is the Singapore Universal Studios. Yes! Finally after years of hearing that it will be "coming soon"...it has finally arrived. Will be going there for my birthday and I can't wait to absorb everything fun there. Although the ticket prices are a tact too expensive for me, I wish the government would have subsidised for the citizens. But yeah, it will be a one time trip for me and my family.


Tried out a lot of food, which is a distinct hobby of most Singaporeans. The food is heavenly delicious. Starbucks are still my favourite hang out place. With free Wi-Fi, I could be sitting there for hours and most of the time don't realise that the afternoon has passed by. Super love the green tea versions of latte and frap. I am drafting out the places and food that I ate and will be posting them soon.


Apart from exploring the food, new ventures and shopping galores, I had been mostly occupied in catching up with my family who I had been away from the past 6 years with occasional holidays. It has definitely been a super awesome time to be with them and feel the support & love from all of them.


I had also be painstakingly been applying for jobs and the pain of being rejected can only be described as " Why am I NOT good enough?" but followed by a few successful interviews with one job offer , I was like " Finally, they realise how truly I am a great asset to the Education sector in Singapore"...haahaa...But truly, I feel really grateful for being offered a job, especially one where I have the most passion to give my full potentials. I can't wait to start as I still have a few more formalities that I had to adhere to before being accepted by Kaplan. So till, than, my mom has been the most inspiring and supportive. Always letting me know that I am the best and the best will be there for me when the time is right. Dad as usual, casual and makes life a breeze by putting a smile on my face with his true but silly jokes and humours of life's disappointments....


So there u go, my brief selective updates of what's been happening around me...


May you all have a good Monday,
Huggies,
