My life @ Singapore

On reading my friend's blog, i thought why should i not write one about my experience in Singapore. I came here on December 24th 2007 and it has been 1 green and pollution free year for me. It was like a dream come trur for me as I have been trying for my Masters since I graduated in 2006. But due to many reasons I was not able to do it. I woould mention few memorable dates for me in Singapore rather than like a essay :)

Dec 24th: I landed at Changi airport. It was a smooth journey in Indian Airlines. The aerial view of the Marina rather Chennai was awesome.

Dec 26th: Course registration at the University. The university was big and green. I felt as if i had come back to Mysore Infosys. It was lush green and clean.

Jan 1st 2008: New Year celebrations at Marina Bay. Fireworks were awesome. It was the first time i had seen fireworks of that kind.

Jan 6th: Went to Underwater world and Dolphin lagoon in Sentosa Island. It was really good and being from India where it rare to see such species, i thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jan 7th: The classes started

Feb 6th and 7th: A trip to Singpore Zoo, Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park. Being a nature lover, it is very difficult for me to express how I enjoyed these 3 places. I was astonished to see beautiful animals and birds which i had never seen before in my life.

Then life was smooth and exams started on April 14th.

May 5th: I left for India for 3 months vacation. The feeling was great as I was flying back to Chennai. After a long time I stayed in Chennai for such a long period.

August 8th: Back to Singapore. This time the comfort level was better as more friends had come to Singapore for studies.

It was around mid September, when i visited a near by island called Pulau Ubin. It was really a nice experience as it maintains the traditional Singapore. It was like a welcome change from the busy Singapore to a calm and peaceful Singapore.

October 15th: I got an offer from a US MNC to join them as Logistics Analyst for 6 months. I guess I was very lucky given the current market condition.

November 25th: I completed my Masters and joined the company the very next day.

Jan 24th 2009: Again a trip to Singapore Zoo and Night Safari with my friends.

Jan 26th: A trip to Bird Park.

I guess I have written all those days which I thoroughly enjoyed. It has been a wonderful 1 year for me. However, I always missed my family, friends and ofcourse Indian food. Hope to get back soon.
