Moving Abroad During COVID [Part 3 - Singapore To Thailand]

Thailand move happened on 26 Dec 2021, 

exactly 4 months after we left our home in Myanmar on 27 Aug 2021.


Just to recap a bit,

Due to visa renewal issues for Mister, we could no longer stay in Myanmar. His employer moved him from their Myanmar branch to the Bangkok HQ. However, preparing work visa documents and getting approval require 3-4 months time and we didn't want to risk overstaying that long in Myanmar so we moved to Singapore while waiting for all paperwork to be settled.  Bureaucracy is challenging to navigate as it is. When you add in Covid, it just gets tougher so below guide will hopefully make your life easier a tad bit if you are considering moving to Thailand.

Moving Abroad During COVID [Part 2 - Singapore]

Ahhh there are so many things I wanna share with you.


To start with the Covid issues, we arrived in Singapore with the unvaccinated status. As the differentiated measures were too strict (cannot enter malls and attractions, cannot dine in) for the unvaccinated, the first thing we did as soon as we completed our 2 weeks quarantine was get a jab. By Sep 2021, walk-ins were allowed and the process was so smooth.  From the time we stepped in for registration till we got out after observation, the entire procedure took around 45 minutes. We both got Pfizer for the first two doses and are thinking of getting Moderna for the booster.


Singapore is very strict about you checking in everywhere with the Trace Together app. By Oct 2021, the officials were even checking your vaccination status, upon entering shopping malls and attractions. There are always safe distancing ambassadors walking around, to ensure everyone was wearing face masks. Popular attractions like beaches in Sentosa require advanced booking on public holidays and weekends. We had to meet with friends and family in several small groups as group size limit were strictly enforced. For example, each household can host up to 5 unique visitors a day. So if you are visiting from a place where these measures are not strictly enforced, this may be a cultural shock for you though.

Moving Abroad During COVID [Part 1 - Myanmar to Singapore]

[As of 27 Aug 2021]


1 year 5 months

That's how long it has been since the first COVID patient was diagnosed in Myanmar (or Burma). 


And 7 months is how long the country was in chaos in the military took over.


Undeterred by these situations, we have stuck around at our home. 


Come August 2021, Mister's visa was expiring and despite trying to renew multiple times, our efforts were in vain. With the nightly raids by the military, even in the big city like Yangon, we didn't dare to overstay without proper visa and Form C documents. So in the last week of August 2021, we have come to accept the reality that we gotta move country. 


Once we have accepted that fact (which was an agonising and slow process - imagine leaving your home in such horrible circumstances, without slightest hint of when you can return), 

everything else which came after could only be summarised in one word - hectic.

🧳 Packing List for the 14-Day Singapore Hotel Quarantine 🏨

Other than the usual clothes, skin care products and toiletries, we feel these items should make it to your packing list for the 14-Day Singapore Hotel Quarantine 🏨 


1️⃣/ Daily medications 


2️⃣/ Face masks 

You gotta wear mask when opening the door 3 times a day to collect food left outside your room. 


3️⃣/ A small bottle of disinfectant spray & wet wipes 

They will come in handy to clean all the luggages you have brought with you and the deliveries you receive in your hotel room as well! A small bottle will do since you can buy after the quarantine. 


4️⃣/ A small bottle of dishwashing liquid & sponge + utensils like fork, spoon, knife 

In our effort to be as environmentally friendly as possible, we try our best not to use disposable utensils. In addition, you eat better with proper fork and spoon right? You will then need a small bottle of dishwashing liquid! Some hotels provide it but you really don't know which hotel you will get so I would bring a 30ml bottle in case. 


5️⃣/ A small bottle of detergent liquid & plastic clothes hangers

We can send our clothes to the hotel laundry service but you might want to hand-wash your workout clothes and small items such as socks and underwear. Those items are easy enough to be washed in the bathroom and doing so can help as save money! As for the plastic hangers, hotels do provide them but some might be fixed in the wardrobe so you can't move them to hang your wet laundry 😞


6️⃣/ Hair dryer 

Hotels generally provide one but if you have a frizzy hair like me, its better to bring you own preferred hair dryer from home. 


7️⃣/ HDMI cable 

I am assuming you are bringing your laptop and travel adaptor. So with HDMI cable, you can watch your favourite shows on the huge hotel TV instead of the much smaller 13inch laptop screen. 


8️⃣/ Yoga mat 

While exercise equipment rental service is available, yoga mat is light and compact enough to be carried with you. I also prefer using my own, especially during the COVID time. But if you wanna rent, it’s $30 for 14 day. Interesting thing- PlayStation is also available for rental!
9️⃣/ FOOD!!! 

Other the usual like potato chips, I needed my Burmese food😅. Glenn packed his coffee machine and coffee powder as ordering a cup daily will cost minimum $5*14 days = $70!
Oh and it is more convenient if you can pack all these into 1 luggage so you only need to unpack one in the hotel room. Considering the space constraint, you will need to maximixe all the room available to you. That's it! If I miss out anything else, feel free to comment below. 

Stay sane during quarantine! 

Adios! 
xoxo

Korean Shows on Netflix 2020

While COVID-19 has affected several businesses negatively, streaming entertainment companies are one of the few who have benefited for this global pandemic.  While millions are affected by stay-home orders and lock-downs, we turned to service providers like Netflix to relieve our boredom. 

From the Hollywood-oriented series, firms like Netflix are striving to improve their range of product offerings. I am definitely glad to see more Asian dramas available on Netflix, which means we international fans no longer have to scower the Internet, searching high and low for the English subbed videos or suffer the restless wait for subbed videos to be released.
