1) I start to litter on the streets. Dun look at me as if i am an alien. Actually, only Singaporeans don't or rather cannot litter. I try not to litter as well, but sometimes, u see litter bins are exactly a common sight over here. :)
2) I always have a plastic bag in my haversack. The marts here don't give out free plastic bags as if there is no tomorrow. I have to buy plastic bags one, ok! A small bag cost 15 centas and a big one cost 30 centas. Time for Singapore to follow suit if we are serious about reducing usage of plastic bags
3) I refuse to leave my apartment without my jumper, sweater. The sunny clear skies here gives you a false sense of security that you will be fine in a t shirt and shorts
4) I appreciate coffee more now. Latte, espresso and all sort of coffee. Nice
BUT, i still kinda miss what i have back home. I listened to the 933 web radio in office today. Feels so homely despite being so far away. The familiar voice and language is indeed heartwarming.
Another thing, it is 100% true that when Singaporeans leave home, we miss our food the most. It is not that i dislike the Lithuanian food, in fact i like very much as well. Not many foreigners will like the local food. Beetroot, potatos, and pizzas. In fact, i just had pizza for dinner. I reckon one reason for missing Singapore food so much is bcos i usually cook my meals a lot more these days. And it doesn;t taste that fabulously for sure.
So, despite more than 1 month away from my homecoming, i have thought of the food that i MUST have when i touch down in my Lion City.
In order of preference.....
1) Sambal Sotong! Champion!! I am going to order one plate solely for myself! The guys should know Sotong is my all time favourite food

2) Orh Lua aka Fried Oyster. Yum yum. I miss the juicy oyster that melts in my mouth

3) Laksa, (with hum please, thank you). There is a chic restaurant here selling Malaysian Laksa. I concur it doesn't taste like we have back home. I will try it out one day, but still Laksa still makes it to my #3 because of the tau pok

4) Frog's Porridge. Okay, chang and i share this common love. Grace, you cannot separate us for this. I so miss the tender meat which goes perfectly with the plain porridge.
5) Crab. It's in my #5 list because i dun want to die from stroke, considering the killer #1, #2 and hum from #3. Still, keeping in mind i am willing to pay SGD38/kg to eat this lovely creature shows how desperate am i
6) Sambal Sting Ray. We order this dish everytime we dined out. Shows how much we adore this sea creature despite its less-than-appealing appearance
7) Chong Pang Nasi Lemak. I miss the cute fried chicken wings which have the power to make me tear.
8) Tom Yum Soup. Just have soft spot for this amazing Thai dish. Have to make a dash to Thai Express for this one when i am back
9) Satay. Not really a big fan of Satay but strangely i am kinda miss the fatty meat in it
10) Loh Mee. I enjoy the Loh Mee at the kopitiam near my place
Dun be surprised that Chicken Rice is not inside. Yeah, i dun pin for Chicken Rice, though it is our national dish. Okay, maybe the skin, but i dun fancy much the rice.
As for Bak Ku Teh, i think i can make do with the instant soup base which the Gavi guys gave to me. I probably will make Bak Ku Teh this weekend for my meal
Also, one must do thing: Book a room in K Box for me to sing Hokkien songs too. I am itching to show my stuff
