SG peeps strike back!
Days after insinuating that Singaporeans are not hospitable at all, suddenly, everyone seems so nice to me! First is the fruit juice lady whom I buy from every morning who asked me where I’m from and how I find Singapore so far. She even didn’t mind if I lack 10 cents one time. I totally forgot to go to the money changer so I had no more SG dollars in my wallet.
Then there’s a lady who greeted me when I bought an ironing board. I don’t know why, but she did. Maybe I looked funny carrying it around the mall. Oh well.
Then there's an Indian taxi cab driver who chatted with me and knew I just moved here because I was lugging an ironing board. He even gave me a discount in my fare since he took a wrong turn. He said it’s his fault. Weee how nice!
My officemates are a bit friendlier these days too. Although my boss keeps telling me to turn off my desk light. Gosh. But see, maybe it’s just me who’s judging them, watching their every move and comparing them to Filipinos. I better stop doing that and give them a chance to prove themselves. Anyone in any country can be warm and caring after all.

In other news, I saw a group of middle-aged Pinoys hanging around during lunch a while ago. They were all holding a PSP! Haha talk about second childhood! But it’s always good to hear people speaking Tagalog or even cursing “'Tang Ina!” loudly from time to time. Such sweet music to my ears. :-)
