I was on budget airway Tiger aircraft TR913 from Xiamen to S’pore.Nice to have a windowed seat.
You should pay everything on the aircraft. I called a cup of milk tea which costs S$1.50. If you need a pack of chicken rice or noodle, you will spend S$8.00. Very expensive >.< It took nearly 4 hrs to S’pore though the Captain said only 3.5 hrs needed.
Then I arrived at S’pore airport, Richard came to pick me up directlytaxied to my rented house in Punggol. And he kindly showed me aroundPunggol, super markets, LRT & MRT and taught me bought atranspotation card & Star Hub mobile phone card. I called backhome as soon as I start my mobile…=) Everything works well here…
总之到达之后,一切都above my imagination,应该是我之前做的准备比较保守的缘故吧。呵呵。所以呢,先别想着有多好,应该想着怎样糟糕的情况又该如何处置才是吧。
这里的天气,白天虽然会热但是不会像厦门那样热,最高温就32度左右,晚上一般在24度左右,蛮凉的,睡觉不用开风扇和空调还挺舒服的那种。
环境很好,干净整洁。车速很快,过无红绿灯的马路段要很小心,不过大部分司机都会等你让你优先通过,感觉不错。公共交通发达,有自动运行的轻轨,也有 MRT高速地铁,即便是一般的BUS,在每个站点都能看到你要乘坐的某路车在几分钟后会抵达。车资的话如果赚新币那是算蛮OK。我问了同住的同事,如果到 ORCHARD上班,那么每天大概是4块多,一个月就会是120左右的样子,如果去Changi Airport,只要搭乘BUS, 每天2块。
住在Punggol,离Orchard和Airport蛮远的,搞不懂干嘛要找在这里,合约是需要住满3个月的,以后定了地点再看看是否要搬近些。住这里是政府组屋,不是公寓,但和国内的高楼小区差不多条件,月租200 含水电,可light cooking,有洗衣机、微波炉、电视。与屋主同住。屋主是本地人工作相当辛苦,白天基本上看不到她,都工作到11点多才回来的,一个人养3个孩子 = =,算新加坡的贫困家庭了。
Actually I was not sleeping well for the first night,because of the extremely soft sponge mattes.- -.
