I have not asked
"how working in Singapore" was for my sister. Mom said however, that my sister had some great times in her job as an architect in Singapore. She was one of those
single working girls.I do remember while still employed in a multinational company, how our
engineers, mostly graduates of ECE (Electronics Communications Engineering) or EE (Electrical Engineering), started resigning in the mid of the 90's to accept the job offers in Singapore.
Pay was very high and benefits very attractive. The only concern was being away from the family, but some were allowed to have their spouse and kids transferred to Singapore (as part of a compensation package they cannot refuse). So there goes our engineers in batches, the
Exodus to Singapore for a high-paying job.
Anyway, just posted this as a breather.
My sister left Singapore to go to the US where she married
her college sweetheart, whom she was away from, for years. Fate has its way.
Now, she suddenly asked me to accompany her to see Singapore again, after almost
15 years. We stayed for a night at the house of her very kind friend, Cris. The next day, we all got to see the Sky Park which was opened to the public in the
2nd quarter of 2010. We went to the top of the building to enjoy a
panoramic view of beautiful Singapore.
Pleasure and work in Singapore are both welcome.
I can't fully explain it but I really had a fun trip with my sister in Singapore.
I enjoyed every moment, every bit of surprise, every place we went, whether grand or just at the street corner, taking the MRT or walking our feet and legs to exhaustion, heheh.
Love the experience, shopping, whether buying or not buying anything.
Then eating and eating and eating . . .
We went to Bukak Skyway where we see the Han River and the rest of the picturesque city of Seoul.
The place was opened to the public in April of 2011 as a Seoul landmark.
I found this video in YouTube for a better sharing of the experience.
Korean? Most likely an Egyptian dance.
Memorable moments at the Gyeongbok Palace . . .
Having fun with brightly-colored, traditional, Korean clothing . . .
How about being buddies with the palace guard?
Galleries feature paintings, sculptures, and installations from its permanent collection of Singapore and Southeast Asian modern and contemporary art as well as touring renowned shows like the Masterpieces from the Guggenheim Museum: Scientist, Inventor, Artist.
Community outreach is an important area of the Museum's function through the promotion of awareness and appreciation of art within the local and regional context. It encourages the growth of an active and stimulating cultural environment in Singapore. This is done not only through the Museum's exhibition programmes but also through its education and public programs which cover a diversity of art trends and practices, fringe activities and public lectures, aimed at reaching the local community at large as well as regional and international visitors to Singapore.
Step? No.

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese Lunisolar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.
Have a fruitful, happy new year!
