Without distinct seasons, memories tend to blend together. I've learned the importance of keeping a calendar to stay organised. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 🗣️ While English is widely spoken, the local slang, Singlish, took me by surprise. Adapting to the unique linguistic nuances of SG has been an ongoing journey, but it's helped me connect with the local community on a deeper level. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞 💸 Despite its reputation for being expensive, there are many ways to make your budget go further.

Choosing public transportation over taxis can also help cut down on commuting costs. By making smart spending decisions, you can enjoy all that SG has to offer without breaking the bank!
