Intensive scrubbing in a week

I think I mentioned somewhere that we’re moving to a new apartment. Or did I posted it just in Facebook? Anyway, a housemate is pregnant so they need a bigger room (they stay in the master’s bedroom) in preparation for the baby. The married couple sort of acts as the “head” of the […]

I am lazy to get my employment pass (EP) to verify but I think I am P pass holder, but I was only granted 1 year pass. You could refer to the Ministry of Manpower website for more information on employment passes. According to Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), I am eligible […]

I’ve always wanted to take a photo of the view from the sky train at the Changi International Airport. During the Airshow, my housemate lent me his SLR so I finally took a decent photo. Here’s the view when you take the sky train from Terminal 3 to Terminal 2:

I actually had second thoughts about going to the airshow because I was alone. But having borrowed an SLR made me look forward to taking photos. I did not enjoy the aerobatics because I spent half an hour searching for a part of the camera that wasn’t there! (Ahh, in this case, ignorance […]

I still couldn’t believe that I got to see the Singapore Airshow 2010 at the Changi Exhibition Center. I wanted to, but I found the tickets expensive. The Airshow is a 6-day event. February 2-5 were the “Trade Days” and during these days, only those who are at least 18 years old […]

It’s IT Show again from March 11- 14! This time, it would be held in Suntec. It’s only been less than 6 months from the last IT Expo, the third time for me since coming to Singapore, but I have not bought anything, have not taken advantage of the freebies. I hope […]

I live in a 4-bedroom apartment with eight other Filipinos. My housemates say that the bedrooms are smaller compared to their previous flats’. But I’m really happy with it. My bedroom is the smallest one, yet it is almost twice as big as my bedroom in Japan. We have a big kitchen […]

Even before I arrived in Singapore, this wonderful website called gothere.sg has helped me a lot. Because of this, I was able to find an apartment that is so close to the office. Then there’s this website hungrygowhere.com. The domain name says it all. Restaurants information just a few clicks away. […]

The opening of Sentosa’s Universal Studios is fast approaching. Construction is still in full swing but when I went there last November, the roller coaster is already finished. For us staying here in Singapore, we no longer need to get one of those orlando vacations to enjoy what Universal Studios has to offer. […]

It’s been a while since I’ve last put up the Christmas tree at home. In fact, we’d never put up a Christmas for more than 5 years. Because of Shaynna and Kiera, my 2-year old niece, I bugged my mother until she gave in. Two weeks ago, Shaynna happily told me over […]

I wonder if Singapore got the name Palawan Beach from the Philippines’ Palawan Island. It’s not as beautiful as “the Palawan” in the Philippines, but it’s a nice place to hang out on weekends. There’s a hawker/food court in there and I’ve tried out one Singaporean dish: Oyster egg. It’s not […]

Sentosa is like the playground of all the visitors and residents of Singapore. I’ve heard a lot about it and my friends kept bugging me to go there. I got curious, but I planned to go there only when Shaynna comes over for a visit. Fortunately, a college batchmate gave me a […]

Singapore is very small. Perhaps, smaller than Lanao del Norte? During my first few weeks here, I thought that “malling” is all people could do on weekends. If one has the finances, then he might want to board a ferry to Indonesia, or take a bus to Malaysia.
But ever since I’ve started […]

I’ve already made peace with the fact that the weather here doesn’t to turn into something like the early autumn in Japan. It was so sunny and so humid here when I arrived in March that I longed for the rain. My friends told me to wait for November or December. And […]

Months ago, I’d been playing badminton with colleagues. I am not really a fan of badminton. I prefer to play pingpong, maybe because it’s the first sports that I could really play. I’m far from good, but at least I could hit the ball. That’s why each time I wait for […]

I take the bus daily to and from work. I like taking the bus because I have a higher chance of grabbing a seat than in the trains. But I seem to perform a balancing act each time I get on one. The driver only waits for a passenger to settle down […]
