Welcome to Singapore. Enjoy your stay here. Have fun!
Thank you for the video 🌷☀️, and thanks to Mitsuko for the interview 💐
Yes locals are quite reserved. And even if they are interested in a stranger, they will control and behave. It is both a pro and con
SG is a fast-paced society. Most of us even walk fast.😅
True!!! Haha
Can you recommend some of the job agencies for Filipino? Looking job for a Hospitality Management Graduate. Please and thank you!
Hi Ms. Mitsuy, do you have any idea where to apply for F&B industry particularly in management trainee position? with 7+ years and 15 years' experience as Restaurant manager. (me and my wife). Thanks in advance
Jobstreet! Or look at all hotels in Singapore and apply directly at the websites of those hotels you are interested in.
3:23 Never put your belongings on your back ! My wife had once picked pocketed when she is shopping in Bugis.
As a result, she lost her i/d, money.
Ohh sorry to hear bout that. 100% safety is never guaranteed anywhere. Reminding myself every day to still continue to be wary of my surroundings even when I'm in Sg.
Interesting conversation indeed.
I thought she sounded very Singaporean…
After being here for quite some time, I sometimes feel like I also sound like one. 😁
Who is doing the interview? Sounded like a robot
No cat calling? Wow, so long your hair auntie.
Singapore very expencive
Living abroad can be awesome but also be frustrating. There must be many struggles to deal with but I believe that is worth to do.
It really does come with its own upsides and downsides. 😊 What I can only hope for is for people living abroad to have the choice and the means to stay or leave whenever it's necessary most esp for their mental health.
Are you a university professor?
Hello, no I am not. I teach at an English enrichment centre. 😊
U r a big fish in a small pond..u r a small fish ... in philippines u r a small fish..
Example, Church - I am not interesting pray at church every weekly as I want play game more, Muslim - I am not interesting diet, as I want enjoy eat delioius food. Buddist - I am not interesting mediate and vegan, as I want love , play , eat meat. Jew - I am not interesting scarfice or god, as I want go travel and view beach with wine and girls.... 😅😅😅
Then God is also not interested in taking your soul to heaven when you die. He will let you stay and linger and do whatever you want
Some free thinkers respect each religion's god(s). They don't believe there is only 1 god.
Free Thinker - a person who rejects accepted opinions, especially those concerning religious belief.
If they believe otherwise, they are not FT
@@azureliteyahoo So you mean "accepted opinion" cannot be "my god(s) is/are the only god(s)"?
@sian1of2 most established religion have 1 or many gods. A FT in theory rejects them all. Just Google what it means
@@azureliteyahoo There is already a term "Atheist" to describe a person who disbelieves in the existence of god(s). Then where does FT stands?
I asked Bing AI "Can a freethinker believe in god?" The following is the result.
Freethinking is not a monolithic movement and there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Some freethinkers may believe in God, while others may not. The philosopher Bertrand Russell knew that freethinkers do not impose the constraints of conclusions at the outset of their thinking; he insists that freedom of thought is a process, not an end.
In summary, while some freethinkers may reject the idea of God, others may embrace it. It ultimately depends on the individual’s personal beliefs and values.
Maybe Bing AI is wrong. Google and you are correct. Google > Bing.
ask a fiplina maid not a rich expat...different perspective of sg
Hello, a Filipina maid or any other Filipinos / expats from other countries would definitely have a different perspective. I am not speaking on behalf of all Filipinos / expats here so it's possible for some of them to agree on some of my points or disagree. My responses are based my perspective, experiences and on the lense from which I see the world. We all experience things differently. 😊
sg is a dump...flat n uninteresting...a brit colony..only people...n artificial greenery...spanish colonised philippines much much better.only more poor than forbes park rich dudes who exploited the poor..@@mitsuy
Can i buy cigarettes in singapore
If you are 21 or older, yes 😅
Yes, expensive and you cannot buy chewing gum.
Singapore is a good place if you want some money quickly by offending yourself.
Hmm, would you care to expand about this?
Filipino does not want a Filipino name but instead a Japanese name !!
Helloo, I am, by blood, half-Filipino half-Japanese therefore the Japanese name 😁. But given that I grew up in the Philippines and never really stepped foot in Japan or even met the Japanese family side, I usually just introduce myself as a Filipino. 😊
