Postal Codes

Sending mails and locating the buildings are too easy in Singapore as long as you have the postal code and your GPS (Global Positioning System). I am a forever fan of Google Maps. This application helped me a lot in traveling around the country. The postal codes usually indicate the building number so you'll never get lost especially when you are looking for an HDB unit. For example, if my postal code is 390047 meaning I'm at Block 47 and the 390 usually indicates the street or the area.

You can find helpful websites on how you can locate the postal codes. Try to check Geo Postcodes and Singapore Post.

ORANGE LANTERN (Singapore)

It's because, I can't get over of their Avocado Shake.. I'm now posting something from Orange Lantern. Seriously, I really don't know what was the name of the resto in Harbourfront Centre at first. I only knew from M that it was a Vietnamese resto. I was wondering why I could not find even a single signage (even from their menu book or maybe I was too focused on the food) of the resto name.

M said that their Avocado shake was soooo delicious. And due to my excitement in ordering and having my food served, I already forgot to know the name. :)

Well, the food tasted so good especially the Avocado shake which was to die for (and it's also because avocados are my favorite!). Vietnamese cuisine is like a fusion of Filipino and Thai cuisine in which both are my favorites, too!  We ordered chicken chop, seafood soup, spring roll platter and avocado.


Oh! By looking at my pictures, I only realized that the name is Orange Lanterns. Thanks to M who told me about the clue after five (5) days. :)

Enjoy my pictures!

FINDING MY SECOND JOB (Singapore)

I'm gone in the blogsphere for a long time and I'm trying to catch up with everything that I've missed. Yes! I found my second job here in Singapore and my life is now becoming boring as to what it used to be. haha! Now, I have weekends and holidays and I can kill the time by just lying in my bed for the whole day. I'm only kidding. I'm into different activities now and I hope it will just keep goin'.

Okay! Let's go back to my topic on what I did in order to find my second job here in Singapore. Well, if you really want something you must do everything for it. My first job here was a tough one. I did not have time for myself and either a time for job hunting online. So, I had my resources worked for me. I asked my friend in the Philippines to apply for me online in return for some bonus for her. I received several calls for interview but I only selected those companies that I was interested. To make the story short, I was accepted. Yehey! Clap! Clap!

But as a foreigner here in Singapore, even if you were accepted by a company, it's not yet guaranteed that you're eligible to work here. Why? It's because your employment pass should be approved first by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). In other words, they have the last say in your employment.

So, the best plan was not to resign after I was accepted by my company. I was still with my first company when my second company processed my employment pass here in Singapore. It took only one (1) week of waiting, and my pass was approved. I resigned from my previous company and was ready to start a new.
 
For you guys out there. Always remember that everything is uncertain, you should have a plan B.
Good luck!


HELLO KITTY FAIR

Ooohhh.. My first post ever after eight months I guess. I've been very busy lately and have been hybernating for a long time. At last! I'm back again using Blogger Mobile.

Well, I was walking along Bugis Junction, Singapore when I passed by a Hello Kitty Fair. I believed that it was just temporary since I've been seeing different stuffs being sold in this place before. I am not a fan of Hello Kitty until one of my bosses gave me a Hello Kitty cellphone accessories from Japan. If I were a little girl again, I can ask my Nanay (Mom) to buy for me. It's always a great feeling to have these stuffs for free! whueee.

I don't really have a plan to buy so I only took some photos of it. Edited using Instagram and have it posted in my Blog using my Iphone. Check out where am I while writing this.

For Moms, Girls and Young at Heart, here are my photos. Enjoy! :)


Sale! Sales! Good finds for everyone.
I don't have any idea what is this but it's cute.
No size for me.
Pillows and bolsters.
All things are pink and wonderful!
I was at Suntec City a when I was posting this blog.
