10 reasons why Changi Airport is the best place to work in Singapore

Been holding on to this draft for ages now, decided to just skip the frills and post it!

-------------------------------------

10 reasons why Changi Airport is the best place to work in Singapore:

1) Do your shopping here - at discounted prices!

Staff discounts on top of GST-free prices for your shopping ranging from everyday groceries (NTUC, Watsons, Guardian etc) to branded goods (Zara, watch shops, perfumes and cosmetics, TWG, Braun Buffel, Fossil, Crocodile, Adidas etc). During festive seasons you can also get the seasonal goodies (e.g. bak gwa during CNY; mooncakes during mid-autumn festival) at heavily discounted prices. You can also buy electronics, toys, eye care, chocolates, overseas sim cards etc....

2) Satisfy any food craving - at discounted prices!

Okay there's a loooong list of food that I recommend, so I'll just name a few popular ones:

- London Fat Duck

- Sushi Goshin

- Itacho

- Paradise Dynasty

- Imperial Treasure

- Nando's

- Chutney Mary

- Le Nu

- Tung Lok

- Harry's

- Peach Garden

- Ramen Champion

- Four Fingers

- Swensen's...

Plus several bubble tea and yoghurt stalls, Starbucks...

If you're on a tight budget, you can also get a full meal from more than 6 food courts and fast food restaurants!

3) Watch aeroplanes take off, land and taxi

Remember when you were a kid and being awed by the unblocked view of the runway at the viewing gallery? Now you can go there everyday and perhaps take a nap after lunch =D

Be one of the firsts to witness new planes doing their maiden flight:

Nowadays, one may even catch sight of otters if you're lucky ;)

4) Excellent accessibility via public transport

Accessible by all modes of transport (except ferry), including Grab and Uber haha. Buses and taxis come very frequently. Getting to and fro work shouldn't be a hassle.

5) One stop amenities

Post office, eye care, multiple ATM and AXS machines, Raffles Medical Group clinic, UOB bank, money changer... you can run most of your errands here. Best thing? The queue is much shorter than other places.

6) Eye candies

Fine-print: Actual product may differ from marketing material

Some may argue that the epitome of beautiful local girls his represented by those in our national carrier's costume. Sights of beautiful male and females are aplenty at Changi! Choose your nationality - local, middle-eastern, Viet, Indian, European etc...

And don't you find the below faces familiar? 

SPF poster boy (who happens to be my junior from sec sch) - spot his poster outside NTUC lol

Yandao security officer - in person he's really tall and handsome

7) 5-star washrooms – EVERYWHERE!

Having clean washrooms is such an underrated criteria for a great workplace! Imagine stepping into fully furnished, clean toilets and cubicles everywhere you go - such a luxury isn't it! This is such an extreme improvement for me as I used to work in a depot and the toilets there are heavily utilised and old... amongst my experiences are dirty cubicles not having toilet paper (for staff always kapok home) and another when a cockroach crept past me as I was doing my business in a cramped and dimly lit cubicle :(:(  

At Changi? Unlimited, good quality toilet paper that doesn't tear easily. Each cubicle has a disinfectant dispenser for you to apply on the seat cover!

8) Conducive physical environment

Air-conditioned, daylight, huge spaces, well-run skytrain, even (some carpeted) flooring. And due to the massively huge terminals you can be just strolling or checking out new shops during working hours and claim to be "walking to site" or "meeting contractors" =P

If you have had enough of concrete jungle and office environment for the day, feel free to indulge in nature at the beautifully created gardens:

Butterfly Garden

Sunflower Garden

Koi pond @ T4

9) Hand sanitizer dispensers

Located commonly inside lifts, just outside toilets etc. I use them to clean my phone occasionally :)

10) The best for the last - Jewel opening soon in 2019!

Chio or not?

An exciting retail and lifestyle complex, Jewel also boasts a breathtaking 130-ft ‘Rain Vortex’ which is expected to be the world’s tallest indoor waterfall! HOW COOL IS THAT?!

Another personal 'like' for Changi Airport is that I live in the east... takes me only 30 mins from door to door! I hope I won't ever need to move out! :)
