It's been almost a week now since I landed here. Homesickness still struck in the middle of the day out of nowhere, I just keep myself busy to ward off the feeling. Being away from home taught me so many things, and I decided to blog them one by one.
Singapore's First Lesson to Nicka Gracia: GO TO THE MARKET/ DO YOUR OWN GROCERY
Way back in the Philippines I always rely on Mama Elsa, my aunt who is also a mother to us, whenever I am in the market. I practically knew nothing about "tawad", I am always confused on what to buy and I always ended up missing something from the grocery list if I did the chore by myself. So last Sunday, Ate handed me 50 SGD and told me to buy something in ShengSiong, more like a supermarket here, and when I asked here what to buy she just replied, "Bahala ka na." And I'm like... Ahm, uhm... HAHAHAHA!
So SG's first lesson: Ang mamalengke! In all fairness, it was a success. My cousin and I were able to budget our money. Yay!!!
