To the Caribbean Islands

Mar 10, 2010 under Travel | no comment

If only that was true. The moment I have read about the Caribbean Islands in a magazine when I was in college, it has become a dream for me to visit it. I hope I get to see it before I die. White sand beaches, those colorful cocktail drinks with cute umbrella, that’s something I am picturing when I think of Caribbean Holidays.

The Caribbean islands is just  surrounded by sheer beauty and it has everything one needs in a vacation. I would certainly love the relaxed pace of the island life, just being by the water and swimming whenever we feel like it.

There’s so many island in the Caribbeans, you will never run out of things to do. If you want peace and quiet, I am sure there’s an island there that can give you that. If you want activities, they have all kinds too.

But if I were to go there, I will go to the Cayman Islands. I want to check out the Turtle Farm they have there, that has  zoo and a breeding farm for the endangered green sea turtle.  I am also curious to see  the Conch House, a sweet little cottage with 2,000 pink shells that almost resembles a gingerbread house in the tropics.

3 Years in Singapore

Mar 5, 2010 under Singapore | 12 comments

March marks our third year of living in Singapore. I can’t believe how time flew by so quickly. I can still remember when we just got here, we were sweating like pigs (do pigs sweat?), boy we had to shower like three times a day when we just got here probably because we had to get acclimatize to warm weather still.

Us when we just got here

When we arrived here, we stayed for 3 months in a serviced apartment in Orchard , all expense paid by the company. Great great time, free lodging and we dined out every night for free too. Ahhh the good old days.

During the first two months we did house hunting. We didn’t find a place we liked immediately as most condos here are small, not enough to put all the stuff we brought with us. We eventually found a place, a landed house to be exact that’s big enough. It had 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. In front of the house was a pre school, I didn’t think that would be a problem.

We thought we really found a gem, what I realized later on was, the house was too big for me to clean and the noise from the pre school is irritating as hell. We were always awaken by crying children who didn’t want to go to school. Oh it’s just terrible. We survived for two years and then we decided it’s time to move, we need a change of environment and a good sleep.

We found a place we liked nearby the East coast beach park. We have been living here for a year now. I wish we had chosen to live in a condo in the very beginning. It’s so much better here. It’s nearby the everything, park, food establishments, and there’s even a convenience store right inside the condo compound.

And come June we will be embarking on yet a new adventure, we will be moving again but this time it’s for good. We are moving to the Philippines! I am very excited I am actually already looking for  long distance moving companies this early. I am  really excited about this move.

Will I miss Singapore?

Of course I will miss Singapore alot. I will miss the laksa , the duck noodles, visiting the Botanical Garden, the Jurong Bird Park and The Singapore Zoo and many more but anyway we are not moving on the other side of the world so I am sure we will visit once in awhile.
