Singapore through my Eyes
I am Kate, a Filipino studying in Singapore. When I arrived here, I was pleasantly surprised to find the people here as friendly as the Filipinos. I also like the food here immensely. Chicken Rice, Hokkien Mee, Fried Rice and Carrot Cakes…so much variety and that’s only counting the local fare.
One thing Singaporeans give a lot of attention to is education. Here in Singapore, almost every child studies in school, unlike the Philippines where many do not get to study because their families cannot afford to send them to school. Education is very important because it helps us to gain knowledge and get better jobs in the future.
In the Philippines, we have lots of space but in comparison with Singapore, many of us do not own land or housing. Most Singaporeans have their own HDB flats to stay in, which is great as it gives them security and a roof to sleep under.
One thing about Singaporeans, they really love their computer games and many even bring them to work, on the MRTs or even play during lunch hour breaks.
Finally, I must point out that in Singapore, there are no natural disasters which make living here much safer than many other countries. In the Philippines, we sometimes get earthquakes, floods and devastating storms. I love the Philippines but I am also very happy here in Singapore!
