One year na ko
AJ Jorge April 25th, 2008
My official last entry from Pinas before I moved here and my first entry here in Singapore.
The first year is not a rollercoaster ride that I expected it would be. Surprisingly, everything went fine. Much thanks to my cousin Nandy and wife Cia for adopting me for two weeks while I was waiting to transfer to my condo.
So for the record, I stepped foot into Singapore since Apr 29 and started work on May 2 2007. I have been in the same company and just renewed my work pass for another year. The only thing that saddens me is that I haven’t been able to save as much as I have hoped for. That goes without saying, that I have been spending and enjoying life. I’ve been to Australia, brought Pen here twice, went back to the Philippines once, brought a DSLR and some lens, paid off loans and some other things that needed money to enjoy. No regrets though.
A view of our condo.
Been staying in the same condo for a year now. Friends keep on telling us that we have a great deal with our current condo. With the rents going up with no end in sight, we are currently secured with a 2 yr contract at a ludicrous cheap price. Housemate and I are praying and hoping that we can finish the contract and the owner won’t sell-off.

Cheers to me that I have secured a spot here in the IT outsourcing country.
Congratulations!
A year over, on to the next
yes. on to the next.
pare, happy anniversary sa singapore =). time flies! parang kelan lang when we picked you up sa airport and then dito ka pasa bahay. tapo bumili ka pa ng grocery sa fair price before heading off to your condo.
haha. naalala mo pa yung pagbili ko ng grocery sa novena. parang walang grocery sa lilipatan ko no? dami ko tuloy dala from farrer park to simei.
happy one year!
