A Mixture of Culture Shock and Fascination

Is this some kind of a culture shock or extreme admiration? After staying in a foreign land like Singapore for a couple of weeks, still I can't have enough of it. I couldn't believe I am here with my family for a grand holiday tour. With all the beautiful tourist's destinations, for sure you will come back for more. Every time I see amazing views, I continuously get astonished because no words can best describe them. Apart from the outstanding sceneries, I certainly admire the discipline they possess. The government on the other hand plays a vital role in moulding the kind of mentality the residents have. Because the priority is on the safety and well-being of its people; they make sure everything is properly regulated from fare to taxes and everything. They are so strict especially when it comes to health of the general public. Thus whenever they hear some sort of epidemic or emergence of strange medical conditions such as Herxheimer reaction; they make necessary actions to counteract contamination. I am just hoping other countries also follow strict observance and compliance as well for the people's welfare.

Unplanned Family Outing

We were eating our breakfast when an out-of-the-blue family outing idea came up. The other day, we went outing in one of the community sports complex in our neighbourhood. This was actually a post-celebration of my birthday, which happens to fall on a Black Saturday of the Holy Week. Aside from basketball and badminton courts, it has several pools specifically designed for both children and adults. Rushing rivers, splashing waters, and pools with artificial waves just make the place amazingly exceptional. Although it was an ordinary merrymaking, yet I find it unforgettable since this took place in a foreign land with my beloved hubby and daughter. After the plunge, we toured the entire Chinese Garden and took some nice pictures of it. I can't believe my eyes since travelling abroad was just a simple dream that came true unexpectedly. I'm so blessed to have a brother who is so generous. The instantaneous birthday bash despite his hectic schedule means a lot; thus, I'm planning to give personalized thank you cards for him and his wife. I just hope this sign of appreciation can at least compensate their kind gestures.

A Form of Culture Shock

I can't believe what I saw. When I first came here in Singapore, I was kind of shocked upon seeing quite a number of youngsters in complete uniform carrying with them high-powered guns. There were like roving endlessly around the train station as if looking for somebody. At first, I thought they were just like into a sort of on-the-job-training and that they were deployed to certain areas as part of their drill. But in actuality, these teens are referred to as police officers doing their respective duties. I can just imagine how your reaction would be, which is just like mine initially. All boys are obliged to serve their country for two years as soon as they graduate from high school. Thus, they are really moulded to become competent law enforcers with a good groundwork in a military school setting. This is the main reason why peace and safety of the country in general is well-maintained. I just wish other nations including ours would imitate such act for the well-being of its citizens.

For Sale Properties Selling like Hotcakes

Looks like a busy day today. I have lots of inquiries today in my mail and all of which pertain to lot for sale. Despite the crisis going on, real estate has remained booming. All sorts of businesses are mushrooming everywhere from resorts to condominiums to commercial establishments. In fact, I was browsing through the net when I happen to check out a site about Property Tangier and indeed the view is awesome. No wonder houses, lots and other kinds of assets are selling like hotcakes because they just simply satisfy the needs and requirements of the buyers. They must really have real clients for being so confident in venturing into this kind of trade. I just wonder how these capitalists choose a property before deciding to acquire such. They must have set a bunch of criteria when choosing because it seems that all properties suit the preference of every client. I'm just hoping that one day I can catch a big fish in a single transaction, so that I can call myself a fulfilled agent.

Erratic Weather Condition

Look at the world today. At present the climate is certainly unpredictable, which is caused by global warming. In fact, the Weather Station Bureau sometimes commit erroneous forecast due to sudden changes. Unlike before, weather updates are almost always accurate as per announcement making it very reliable. Consequently if you are set to have fun, make sure to always be prepared for erratic weather condition. Do not allow anything to ruin your day. Remember that you need to bring with you some sort of protection like hat or umbrella. However, if you are the kind of person who doesn't like the idea of always bringing extra stuffs, at least make sure to include scarf in your outfit. This has a dual action; shield your angelic face from heat and cover your crowning glory from unexpected drizzle. Therefore whether rain showers will fall or not today; never be too laid-back. You can't just miss an important event because of unforeseen rainfall.

Canvassing for Sale Items

I am now counting the days since our stay here in Singapore will only be until the end of this month. I started shopping for sale items as "pasalubong" for family as we fly back home. While doing store hopping, I noticed most of the goods are the same from one shop to another. Slip-ons, head scarf, and sexy lingeries are overflowing with stalls that serve as extensions at the outside of their boutiques. What an amazing view since a lot of people really flock together to avail of the special price. No wonder Balikbayan boxes are filled with more or less the same items because we usually take advantage of these promos. Aside from shopping, I want to visit the famous tourist's spots so that I can maximize our stay. I'm really planning to drop by to those destinations that I have never been before during my first visit. I don't want to miss them the second time around.

Job Hunting Routine

Part of my routine while in Singapore is job hunting. I always make it a point to buy a newspaper at 1 dollar every weekend. Although not really our main agenda for coming here, it's like trying our luck in one of the prestigious companies who are looking for qualified workers. Indeed there are many hiring, but most of them prioritize local residents for reasons I don't understand. Another thing I noticed while reading the paper is that there are various listings of insurance companies. Because of the day to day style of living wherein people are exposed to several health conditions due to enclosed spaces such as buses and trains, cross-contamination is not a remote possibility. Hence, the government as well as other private sectors ensure the health of the citizens by mandating protection at all times. This means good Annuity Insurance Leads with less effort on the part of the insurance companies because their safety is always of high importance.
