Hello everybody, it’s YQ writing from Singapore. Yes, I am back in the land I am most familiar with. Yes, I’m more familiar with Singapore than my hometown Kota Kinabalu.
It’s been more than a week since I came back and I am now in full job hunting mode. I’ll update you guys on my job search if I have any happy news. Oh, if you know anyone in Singapore hiring writers, do drop me a mail at hello@yqtravelling.com.
I am actually very glad to be back in Singapore, for five reasons:
- Hawker centers and food courts: In Sabah, it’s actually very awkward for a single lady to eat at a kopitiam. However, it’s the norm here in Singapore and I love it very much.
- Safety: I was walking in the middle of Singapore’s city center on Sunday night after 9:30pm. I realized that this is the only place which I could walk alone safely so late into the night.
- Convenient public transport: Singapore’s public transport is really developed and it’s quite cheap to travel within the country.
- Awesome libraries: The collection of books at Singapore’s library is so amazing that I haven’t touched my Kindle for several days.
- Friends: The best part about coming back to Singapore is meeting old friends.
