Growing up in Singapore

Introduction:

Ting and I go to Singapore Management University together, where she is also studying business.

What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?:

For breakfast, I usually eat Greek yoghurt and fruit. For lunch and dinner, I eat mixed rice with vegetables or salad. I love eating sushi as well, but I don't eat it every day.

What is your house like?:

I live together with my dad, mum and sister. In Singapore, people usually live with their family until they get married and have secured a Build to Order (BTO) flat - a public housing initiative by the government for young couples.

What chores do you have at home?:

I clean up after myself in my room, but I also help wash dishes and do any other small tasks around the house.

What jobs do your parents have?:

My dad helps support my aunt's business while my mum works in real estate.

What time does school start, and what time do you go home?:

Each semester, my schedule changes depending on what classes I choose. I usually like having mine in the morning to the early afternoon. This semester, I have classes from 8:15 AM to 3:30 PM four days a week.

How do you get to school? Are you allowed to go to school by yourself?:

I go to school by subway or by train.
