Sitting out in the sun

This week has been one of the best yet. I have an interview next week with a big accounting firm, and I crushed an interview on Friday. Hoping that I hear back form my interviews soon so I can stop stressing out about my summer.  On Wednesday, I wandered into a shopping mall and unexpectedly stumbled upon a keyboard store selling all kinds of novelty mechanical keyboards.

Fighting the heat

This week was a refreshing change of pace, I got an extra day off, which meant more time to explore new foods and enjoy the city. Work has been about the same, but I’ve been making the most of my lunch breaks by checking out more spots near Lavender Station. One of my best discoveries was Mixue (蜜雪冰城), a well-known Chinese ice cream chain famous for its affordable drinks and ice cream. I grabbed a matcha ice cream cone for just $1.50, kicking off my week on a high note. Matcha prices have been skyrocketing in the U.S., so I’m […]

I work from home every Friday and I got a bit bored eating at the mall near Orchard. I ended up going to Suntec City to visit a […]

Week 1 in Singapore

This first week in Singapore has been quite a journey. My work pass finally went through this Friday, which was a surprise for me since someone else on the trip applied later than me and got it approved within the second week. One of the coolest things, however, is the temple located just outside my office. Its vibrant and I will definetly visit during lunch everyday to get some more steps , and it’s a constant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that surrounds this bustling city. I’m also looking forward to seeing if I want to pursue a career […]
