It was o one of my dream come true. I always wanted to travel
around the world and learn different cultures and get more exposure. Until
August 2012 I was only able to be in one country other than my own and that was
Sri Lanka.

It was an invitation from my brother who was in Singapore
when he was coming back to Maldives from Australia. I was so happy about the
invitation and accepted it as I had balance in my annual leave so it wouldn’t be
very difficult for me to go.
It was the longest journey on a flight as it took about 4.5
hours to reach Singapore. The Airport and the arrangements in the Airport made
such a good one, I knew that what people talk about Singapore is really true.
It was a fantastic Airport.

My brother and his friend (Rafie) were there to receive me.
When we reached home it was almost 10:30 in the night. I saw a different
picture there. I felt like it was Hulhumale’ All I can see is flats and cars parked
outside those apartment buildings. I was like “Is this Singapore?” and they
explained me that as Singapore is a small country they have housing plans like
that.
