1st week of 2012

2012 is the best year of my life so far and I wanna share my experiences during this year to everyone :).  January 1, 2012 is not a usual new year celebration that I'm having every year.  I'm really scared that day because come 6am in the morning I'll be on my way to Singapore for my 6 months internship.  It was hard to leave my home.  I dunno if i can survive 6 months without my family and my beloved kasambahay.  I have no idea how to wash and iron my clothes. It was really scary.

Our supposed 6am flight became 9am because of zero visibility c/o the Filipino people.  It was foggy.  My cousin and my landlady in Singapore were already worried.  Luckily, I was able to find my way to my new home in Singapore.  I'm living in the northern part of Singapore.  Sembawang to be specific.  I stayed there because the accommodation is really cheap for a whole bedroom without any bed spacers. Just me.  FYI a whole room will cost you 800-1500sgd a month. I got mine way lower than the average price plus it's walking distance to the MRT station. After settling down, I went to Orchard to buy a Sim Card and roam around. The next day I just brought Sharmain to Sentosa.

The 3rd of January is my first day of work in the office shown above.  It was kinda tough for me because I'm not really used to listening to different English accent.  My 1st day was blur.  I cannot understand anyone.  We had an orientation from the HR but I cannot understand her :(. Poor me.  Our 1st day was full of orientation because our bosses are on leave.  During my 1st week, I have 5 co-interns.  2 of them are from Vietnam but both of them are studying in NUS.,1 is from Austria, 1 from Singapore, and 1 from the Philippines.

4th of January Sharmain and I met our awesome boss.  At first, we thought she's not okay but we were wrong! She's awesome. A blogpost is not enough to describe her awesomeness.  

5th of January is a typical office day it's just that we had to stay beyond 8pm to pack something for an event.
