Yahoo!.. this blog is dedicated to first timer in Singapore.. first timer or bagong “salta” or magtratrabaho. Let’s assume that its your for your holiday and you’ve decided to visit the clean and green city state.
So, ayun.. nakarating ka after 3 hour na lipad sa Changi “Tsang Gie” airport, the worlds best airport for several consecutive years, comment ka lang sa iba kung gusto u na i-contest na mas maganda ang NAIA2.. :).
Lumapag na at nakapila u na sa immigration.. :). sana hindi you nakalimutan na anything related to “Illegal Drugs” will land you in jail or gallows.. reminder its applicable to everyone.. mayaman, mahirap and may ipin or wala.. so tandaan mo iyan bago ka mag impake or kung durog ka, huwag magbakasakali mga bro :).
So ayun pinayagan ka ng makapasok sa bansa and ang una minsan na ginagawa ay ang pumunta ng “Rest Room” or kumain dahil gutom ka kasi hindi mo kinain ang pagkain sa eruplano kasi hindi masarap “no worries”.. sa totoo lang hindi naman talaga masarap, ewan ko lang sa PAL ngayon?
What are the does and don’ts?
There are several points that your need to observe and comply, violating and disregarding it will makes you unhappy “sigurado iyon”.
Bawal Dumura!

- No spitting in open area, public area and others.. use tissue and dispose it in trash bins
- Do not bring or eat chewing gums.. Singapore banned that sticky chewing gum.. kung nangunguya ka.. kainin mo na lang ang kuko ng daliri u haha .. tama!
- Providing monetary “Tips” are not encourage and not even in practice kaya no need to worry if you failed to share your wealth to others.
- Watch on how you cross the road.. for your information new timers Singapore vehicles are right handed kaya ingat sa pagtatawid.. may mga nasagasaan na rin kaya tingin-tingin din bago mag cross.
- Do not skip queue or else you will receive a big slap from me.. ha ha “its only a joke”, but in serious note punching and slapping will land you in jail and penalize you as well. Is it SGD500 dollars penalty, kabayan?
How about offering seats to others? nice di ba..but take note.. “Do Not Touch / Tap” them even in shoulder, just talk and gesture politely in offering your seats while riding an MRT or buses… ok na mga bro.. comment you na lang if you have more things to add or suggest.. the guides are for the benefit of our “new timers” :). Salamat!
