5 things I would never care to notice if im in Singapore

Back in my mother country, i would not care less of certain issues about myself and surroundings. I realised what i could not notice then begin to trigger my interest or evidently become important in my life.


1) Daily usage skincare products etc.

Previously be it i was working or not, i would just casually apply basic products like moisturiser and sunblock if i am heading out or even none if i will be stay at home. Usually i will be sheltered majority of the journey whichever im heading to. At night, if i feel like it, i will put on mask or if not simply just go to bed without applying any skincare products.

However, being here make me realise I absolutely must protect my skin. For instance, if i do not apply lip balm, my chapped lip will crack and bleed. If i am lazy and fail to put moisturiser, my skin will start to protest by developing a dry rash.

Now it takes me 15 mins twice a day to do all these basic steps with the cold and dry winter i need to constantly apply even more so!

P.S i think its unfair that Shota seldom apply anything and still have such good and glowing complexion. He always said because he is born in cold country. How i wish i can throw him in our scorching topical climate and watch him sweat and smell while i can giggle at his side.

2) watching daily weather forecast

Ya, what's new about watching weather forecast in Singapore. Its either sunny or rainy with occassional haze during June, July with no thanks to our neigbours. Oh that's right, now certain districts will be flooded as well.

Here, we need to pay attention if there are typhoon coming, so far i have seen typoon warnings from typhoon 18 - 26! Imagine there are already 8 typhoons in 5 months since i been here. The weather change drastically, sunny now and start snowing by noon. When tv flashes storm coming, its really destructive which causes landslide and buried houses. So uguys better stop complaining about how the floods inconvenience daily routine and start counting your blessing as other country citizens had it 100 times worse.

3) Singapore News & Stomp


   

In the past, i was the type that only read the headlines and read entertainment news. I rarely update what's new happening and my parents or my brother will tell me if there is. Here, i crave for my home country local news, i check stomp daily and start reading news from mypaper app or straits time. My information are much faster than my friends and family which leading them commenting how come u know about this?

Of course, i still skip whatever it seems boring to me! Old habits never die lol!


4) Excited what tv variety show will be appearing btw 7pm - 9pm

We all know how "interesting" our local television channels are, not to mention how late we work off from work and are exhausted preparing for the next hectic day again. Since i become a housewife *1 that is hopeless in cooking*, i love most of interesting variety shows appearing between the golden hours. The picture below is 1 of variety show showing once a week showcasing Japanese wives that migrate to overseas and what are the different culture and obstacles they faced in that country. My Japanese listening skill improve greatly because of this.

5) Daiso

Finally, the 1 store that i thought of if i ever want to buy anything at all haha! Here is 105 yen for each item after tax which equals to $1.40 sin. Its even cheaper than Singapore Daiso selling $2! Since it is originate from Japan, there are plenty of alternatives than spore version!
