Change is on the way...

we are bound to make changes in our lives. big ones. small ones. i packed my bags. goodbye manila. off to singapore with k. +y

from the moment that the plane touched the ground, i knew that change is on the way. we are embarking on a new adventure, the biggest risk of our lives. starting a new life in a different country, that's scary. knowing nobody and no place to stay for the night, that's frightening. looking for a place to eat...that's surviving... and i loved every second of it.
singapore is very different from the philippines, from english to singlish and from banana to durian. ahhh, the smell of durian...everywhere. who knows, our noses might be immune to the smell in the future... hope not.

Terminal 3


Terminal 2

Thursday, 5:30pm. We arrived in Budget Terminal. took the free shuttle to Changi Terminal 2. Got free maps of the city. walked around T2 and T3. enjoyed the anonymity, the excitement of being in a new place. tried to carry my luggage up the stairs, then k stopped me, pointed on the ramp beside the stairs. oh darn, yeah, the ramp! nasanay ako sa pinas, walang rampa. At 7-8pm, we were on the MRT, on the way to Tiong Bahru. Never leaving our bags unattended. Nasanay syempre sa pinas, nagkalat manggagantso. To end our night, we had our first dinner in an indian/malay resto. what spices mixed in our dinner that night, we'll never know. What we know (now)..is this, this trip, this new beginning is going to change our lives. For good? we'll find out. In the meantime, let's just enjoy the ride. +y
