Skills In Demand To Work In Singapore

Working in Singapore sounds very interesting, doesn't it?

It's the hub of almost everything: medical, tourism (especially with the recently opened Integrated Resorts at Marina Bay and Sentosa), trade, education, etc.

It's a country with multiracial society, resulting in the presence of various types of food and cultures. Hmm, imagine yourself trying out different kinds of dishes everyday: Indian food, Malay food, Chinese food, Peranakan food, Indonesian food, Western food, Arab food, just to name a few... :)
But of course that would not be the main impetus for anyone to come here to work.

Most importantly, English is the main language used here. And, it's one of the fastest growing countries in Asia with many MNCs (Multinational Companies) branching to Singapore. This means that there are a lot of opportunities to come and look for a job here.

For those interested in coming to Singapore to work, this link may be useful to see if the skills you've currently had are in the list of skills-in-demand in Singapore.

When Your Cat Attracts Your Attention, Capture It!

Her name is JJ. She's a very lovely cat. And, yup. As we can see, she likes to do all sort of funny pose :)

do I look like a squirrel?

I feel like sleeping..

Now, I'm awake!

Other than that, she's also very playful. Once, she caught a bird and brought the corpse to my room. Feathers and blood were all over the place, and finally the corpse was found underneath my roommate's bed. Eww.

Nevertheless, she's a lovely cat :)

And my advice is, always get your camera ready as you'll never know when your lovely pets are going to pose so nicely that you just want to capture that moment!
