1. Reliable Transportation System
In 2017, I wasn't able to experience commuting much because our great aunt couldn't do long walks anymore. But this time, my friends and I rode all the available modes of transpo in Singapore. Bus, LRT and MRT (all the colors/lines they have like woooow). We still had to book rides from grab, to and from the airport, since we had a lot of stuff.
2. Residents Are Disciplined
You can leave you valuables unattended and still find them where you left 'em. Although, since there are a lot of tourists, I still don't leave my bag with gadgets and wallet unattended.
3. No Racism
Probably because of the diversity of races
4. Rain Isn't Much of a Hassle
The rain doesn't really bother people. It doesn't affect their daily lives nor does it stop people from walking, since there are roofs and sheds everywhere.
5. An English Speaking Country
Although there are still a few locals whose first languages are Mandarin, malaysian and indonesian. The aunties (old ladies who own hawkers) spoke to me in Mandarin. I could understand a little, since we had Mandarin classes for two semesters in college but damn that was a long time ago. I should have practiced before the trip.
Things I Won't Forget About This Trip:
1. Sunday Service
Went to City Harvest Church at Suntec Singapore with my church mates/friends to attend Sunday Service, and how very timely that it was communion week! There's so much stuff and practices in that church that I hope we would start doing in ours.
2. I Survived Living The Cashless Life 😆
As a person who uses cards and phones for payments, it was so convenient that you can use your debit/credit cards to pay for fares in buses, trains and for paying stuff almost everywhere. Also, the conversion rate is much cheaper that way. So instead of having your money exchanged/converted to SGD. Use cards instead!
3. I Started Feeling Lighter
Got rid of the heavy weight brought by the stresses of life and of anger. Got rid of anger. Saw so much things that reminded me of a certain person. Glad those things didn't trigger anger anymore. 🤍😊
4. Bought Myself a Gift
Not really a Sneakers Fan. Like yeah, I buy shoes, to use for work and for everyday use. But I'm not a sneaker head who buys and collects expensive shoes. But dude woooow at the outlet store, I saw the perfect pair of shoes for me. It had touches of orange.
5. Got To Enjoy These Things With My Friends
The shoppings, attending church, strolling around, and eating different varieties of cuisines from South East Asia. I kid you not, we walked 15,000 to 16k steps per day.
Damn, I'm gonna miss having authentic Laksa.
Reinstalled IG before the trip so I could upload my travel photos. Uploaded not to brag, but to keep them stored and give my friends easy access to our photos. 😆
If you're looking for a camera for your travels, Canon EOS m50 Mark II could be it! It's mirrorless, so it's light and easy to carry. It's basically a vlogger's cam. You can stream live on facebook and youtube. Transfering photos from cam to other devices is so easy thanks to wifi-connect. It's also touch screen and the screen could be tilted. You can also use your phone as a shutter when taking self portraits or group photos. You could also see live on your phone, what the lenses of your cam could see. (THIS ISN'T A SPONSORED AD HAHAHA)
Uploaded my favorite photos on my IG. Photos were taken using both my camera and phone cam. 😊
