New adventure, new journey, new life.

We’ve arrived in Singapore around 6 days ago at around 11 in the evening. It was a very long flight, first stopping over at Abu Dhabi and later flying to Singapore. We’re currently staying at a hotel right now, thus the reason why i have wi-fi connection, which allowed me to post another blog post.

We’ve been a little busy lately since we’ve arrived. We first looked for an apartment here in Singapore. We looked at a total of 4 apartments before deciding to take the apartment which is located on the 21st floor. I’m actually excited to live in that apartment because it’s so modern and also the neighbourhood looks very nice. Later that day we went around the city, going around the big shopping malls at Orchard. One very funny moment we had was when we took around 30 minutes just to cross the road. The reason for that is we can’t just simply cross the road as they have underground passage ways to do so. However, there are also big shopping malls and MRT stations located underground, making us walk everywhere just to look for one exit that would lead us to the other side of the road. Oh well, since then we’ve already memorised how to get around the city since we’ve spent a couple of days just walking around.

The next day we visited the embassy to finally meet everyone. All the embassy staff seemed very nice and are very friendly. They happily welcomed us into the place, which actually made me feel at home and thought that it would be nice to see these people often. They gave us a lot of advices on how everything works here and also gave us more information about Singapore. 

So far i’m still adjusting to the place. I still miss my friends back in Berlin and would reminisce on the fun times i’ve had there and how life was like back then. However, Singapore really is a beautiful country. People here are nice and i can find a lot of Filipinos, making it seem like i’m back in my hometown. I hope life ahead will be very fun and interesting, and that i hope a lot of good things will happen to me and my family here. 

No more furnitures!

August 21st, 2012 Chillin’ on the floor because we have no more furnitures. Took this picture after cleaning the whole apartment. Afterwards, we had to permanently say goodbye. Gosh, it’s so sad leaving. We’ve lived there for almost 3 years now so i obviously will miss the apartment and most specially the neighborhood. 4 days left to go!

House party problems

Taking care of drunk people & having to call guardians to pick them up, dealing with the police, dealing with the parents and the worst is cleaning up all the mess the next morning.

Our chilled farewell get-together turned into a big time party. Oh well, i had a blast still. It was such a mess in the end, but it was still awesome! So happy i got to spend time with everyone before we leave. Less than a week left!

Just venting. Mixed emotions..

9 more days to go! We’re finally done with packing around 27 boxes by ourselves. However, the final packing and loading day would be on Monday. So till then, we’d still have furnitures around the house.

Gosh, so thankful we managed to finish up packing today! I have time to be out the whole weekend and spend time with friends! Concert and party time, oh yeah! I’m really making the most out of my last few days here in Berlin. Honestly, it is very nerve wracking to think we’re actually going to leave soon and start a new life at another place again. New country, new culture, new school, new friends, new life… I can never get used to saying goodbye.. But oh well, that’s life. I’ll deal with it. But i’m also excited in a way. A lot of people have been mentioning how beautiful and amazing Singapore is. Yes, we’re moving to Singapore. That’s why i mentioned that i’ll have to adapt to the new culture. The culture of Singapore will definitely be very different from Germany’s. A couple of days ago, i researched a lot about what life there would be like. I had a nervous breakdown actually.. Okay i was exaggerating a little, but i was very nervous. I cried without intending to. I guess it’s ‘cause i’m scared of what may happen in the future or maybe it’s ‘cause i don’t really want to leave Berlin just yet. Life here has been awesome! I’d hate to leave my friends behind as well. But as i’ve said earlier, i’ll deal with it. On a brighter note, Singapore is just a couple of hours away from the Philippines! So i’m hoping i can at least visit my hometown next year. Fingers crossed i actually will. Haha.

Yeah i just needed to get everything out of my head before i explode from too much thinking and worrying. Will probably blog a bit more in the future before they cut our Internet. Haha. Will rest now since i’m tired ass from packing.
