THINGS TO DO IN MUSCAT, OMAN FOR 3 DAYS

by

Muscat is the capital of Oman. It is a metropolitan area where you get the feel of city life in Oman. If you are a tourist visiting Oman for first time, you would want to explore Muscat for a few days as you head to the picturesque mountains, wadis and sand dunes around Oman. There is also a good number of expats working at the wilayats or provinces found in the interior areas of Oman which has a simpler way of living with few to none shopping malls and not much of a city life.

10 SURVIVAL TIPS I’VE LEARNED FROM LIVING ABROAD

by

I had a conversation with another expat working for the first time away from her home country and away from her family.

I don't consider myself an expert in expat living but I shared with her some of the things I did learn along the way in my few years working abroad. These tips somehow worked for me and I … [Read more...]

NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW ADVENTURE

by

3 months ago, I boarded a plane that would fly me to a country I have never been to before.

I may not be the sporty, thrill-seeker kind-of adventurer but I lean towards a … [Read more...]

DEAR SINGAPORE, GOODBYE

by

Dear Singapore, Hello! It has been 3 months since I left you but I didn't give you a formal goodbye letter in our 6 years long affair. How should I start? It is difficult like all break-ups. My thoughts are jumbled in my brain. My emotions are a mixture of many things that are hard to express in words. Hence, this is me, writing to you 3 months after. Apologies for my incoherent introduction to my letter but here goes... I first met you when I was 14 years old during my brief vacation with my … [Read more...]

LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS AS AN OVERSEAS FOREIGN WORKER IN SINGAPORE

by

As promised in one of my Instagram post (www.instagram.com/littlemisshoney) that I will be writing about the living accommodations for expats like me in Singapore. So here, it is. Are curious about the housing accommodations for an expat in Singapore? Some foreign workers like me are given housing allowances monthly by their companies. We are responsible for finding the accommodation for ourselves that maybe either be higher, lower or just right with the housing allowance allotted. Since we … [Read more...]
