Life after college

Dear all,

Wondering what is this bubbly yet lively Cherie has been up to? Well life is surely exciting at this point where I finally step into another phase of life. Yes, it's the working phase of human life. After few months loitering and relaxing under the most comforting yet stress less shade of FAMA, I'm finally working as a web programmer.

Previously, during the non student non working season, I experienced a lot of stuff that I could never imagine myself having it or doing it. I'm blessed with 2 different trips to foreign country. Let's start with last December, where I travel to Singapore for a short Christmas trip. This is my 2nd trip to Singapore but my 1st trip travel outside Malaysia without my family. Given the chance to drive down to Singapore and drive around this beautiful city is really a good experience for me. Singapore is one of the country that I always wanted to celebrate my Christmas at. The light decoration, the shopping sales, the Christmas music, Christmas decoration and so on.. Wow anything that I want for my Christmas season is there except for the snow.
This trip I didn't get to visit Sentosa Island but I have some warm welcome from my friends in the Night Safari. Besides riding on the cho-cho train for some friend's background introduction, I get to walk in the dark safari with Christine and Daniel. With one brochure in hand, we walk every path and visited every single spesies that cho-cho train didn't cover. The house of zebras and giraffes is one of the most hidden path in the safari. Most animal are wide awake and I seriously can sense that I'm being watched by them like a food to them instead of they displaying themselves for me to view. Sweaty, sticky and smelly is the end result of journeying the whole night safari. I seriously don't mind going for the second time, good exercise and one step closer to nature.

Next day, Science Center exploration. I don't really enjoy the display and the exhibits in this science center. Maybe because I started to get bored of going science center where most of the stuff is the same. More like a refresh memory of what I know and learned about science and that's it. But I quite like the snow city. I get to enter Snow City in Singapore. Yeap yeap, surrounded with fake snow and ice in a small hall yet as cold as in the real ones. Temperature is almost below 0 celcius. Never had this feelings before but too cold to survive for long. I wonder how do people survive during winter? Even Australia pre autumn temperature I can't really stand and maybe with proper attire.

Shopping in Singapore is fun if you earn there and shop there. Not to say their clothing are cheap but at least the quality and their sales not fake. Malaysia sales is raise up the price and sales for you which sounds like a normal discount. Food there is totally hopeless. Can't survive with the crappy food there.

My friend once asked me whether will I choose to work in Singapore? After experiencing life in Singapore for this short holiday season, I choose to keep an open mind on this topic. There's for sure pros and cons in everything and it is the same apply to Singapore. Lifestyle there is stylish, classy yet a little bit of stress as everyone is trying so hard to climb the cooperate ladder. Economic there is consider better as compare to Malaysia but if I were to work there, I will have a lot of extra spending like rental, food and all where this cost is all covered back in Malaysia.

To be continue...
