A New Hope. Singapore 2015

After a two weeks struggle, I moved up again in Singapore. Though I have a limited time staying here, a "New Hope" was born.

via Singapore Airlines From Dubai to Singapore 

Well, life is not easy here. Cost of living is high. I am very grateful to a cousin who offers his place so that I have a place to stay. That alone was a big help. I enjoy staying here. Everything is accessible. Transportation is very easy and you can count on them. Of course, sometimes there are problems they encountered but, that was unavoidable, like accidents on the roads.

Singaporeans are friendly people. We may not sometimes understand what they are saying when we buy something or ordering food and drinks, but in the end, all is well and we have a good harmony.  A lot of them are good in English too. Most of them are really disciplined when it comes to orderliness and cleanliness. I hope sometimes together with my kids, I may share the same experience in Singapore. Definitely I will be back for a visit again, but with my family. 

Dubai 2015

via Cathay Pacific going to Dubai
(almost 14 hours of travel)

I arrived here in Dubai last March 26, 2015. What a great experience. Travel was almost 9 hours from Hong Kong to UAE not included the travel time from Philippines to Hong Kong which was about more than two (2) hours. There is a lot of Filipino's here living and working and salary is not that much high compared to other countries. Well, they know if you are holding visit visa, that would be a question of why you are applying so therefore, they will not offer that much because they know applicants will accept the offer because of the limited time here in Dubai.

Why in the world I am here? 

I am just checking the place which they say is beautiful but quiet humid outside. It is nice experience staying in a small room full-packed with eight people sharing one bathroom. Only piece of sheet to cover our place and for the cold. That is the cover of our privacy. Even the couple who shares one bed, the only thing that covers them is the piece of sheet. Should they be renting a place of their own? Well, renting a place is kind of expensive thing and some people who manage a room seems monster to me. All they think of is money. Imagine a person who manage a room without even thinking & looking what is happening inside. The need of maintenance. The person even plan to have another room to manage that can occupy 10 person. Whew! Sounds crazy to me.
