New Found Friends in Singapore

I was in Singapore last week to attend a 3-day security class. Such class was pretty ok but a bit information overloaded but I got no choice but to digest everything mentioned. More so, since we are mix cultures, it was quite difficult to understand most of my classmates. Hence, I learned many new things about security services.

Turning the other side of the coin, such trip was also fun since I gained new friends (aside my classmates which come from different parts of the world), I met also filipino friends which were introduced by my ex-client, Oga. Most of them work in AT&T and they seem enjoying their perks and works in Singapore.

These are my new found friends. Majority are filipinos except the guy in stripes (he's a hongki). From left: Mark, Che, Bong, Mwuah, Oga, Andy and my fellow IBMer Pinky. This was our second bar hop. Drinks are very expensive, roughly Php 400 per bottle. That's why I always comment after finishing a bottle of beer, I'm drunk already.

This solo picture of mine was taken in Bugis Mall by my friend Oga. I was attracted by the flowers and amazed on how expensive they are in Singapore. But they are really gorgeous. My officemate, Pinky was nowhere to be found, busy looking for stuff to buy in the mall. All I can say, she's a shopaholic.

Lastly, these are some of my classmates. They are also from IBM from different countries, US, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hongkong, Japan, India, Australia, China, etc. We ate in a seafood resto called No Sign Board. They had great crabs, prawns and fishes...really yummy but I got rashes too since I'm allergic to seafoods.

I hope we'll have another out of country training for me to learn more and definitely find new friends.
