I woke up at 6.30, bathed and awaited to leave to KL sentral. At 9.30, the train arrived and i unwillingly boarded the train, thinking of my parents as i leave. In the train, i sat beside a cousin of mine, Sue zhen. We barely talked and focused on what we were doing. I read as she listens to her songs. I sat in there for the next 7 hours and waited for time to pass. Finally, we reached Singapore. We went through the customs and boarded the train again for another 1/2 hour journey to the station. At the train station, my grandmother, cousins and I were greeted by my relatives there. As i leave the station, memories begin flowing into my mind again. memories of the last visit to Singapore when i was super young. We were given a 'touch&go'-like-card. In the car, my cousins and I begin making jokes about singapore. I know it's mean but we couldn't help it. We started a game called "spot the trash". We laughed our way to dinner. We ate like a bunch of hyenas. We went to our aunts place to stay for the rest of the week.
This is what we slept on for the past week. ;D
20th Dec.
We woke up around 8.00 and headed off for breakfast. We decided to visit Sentosa Island. We went there by MRT.And Singapore has something Malaysia don't - In Singapore, we pay by distance in public transports. It took us 1 hour to get to Vivo city. Long huh? And we had to stand for the train was crowded with people. When we reached Vivo city, we went to the ticket counter straight away. We bought a 3 dollar ticket for the sentosa express. We walked alot, but found nothing much interesting except the beautiful view of siloso beach, the merlion, and the higher grounds. Everything is expensive but we took money out for a ride on the sky ride. Slow and open! haha. We were beat tired when we reached home. I rested a while then headed off to the nearest 7/11 to buy some instant noodles for dinner. :D
And the rest of the day is just laughs and tv then sleep !
21st Dec.
Today is NTU trespassing day and of course, a little shopping. ;D
We took MRT and train to NTU. It was uber far but it was worthwhile. We entered and walked. We realised how huge the campus is. The first faculty i saw caught my attention and my heart. It was the faculty of arts and design. It was beautiful. The was shaped like a dome, two domes actually. With a roof garden on top. No flowers but just grass. It make the sight look awesome.We entered and discovered that the lockers are decorated with various designs and they took my breath away. Creative ! We left the place and headed elsewhere. Finally, we decided to take a shuttle around the area because it's just too huge. The campus is quiet and serene. It is clean and new, unlike Malaysia's university. After having a satisfying walk, we went home. Tired, we had our dinner in the nearby mall. Food there are expensive but delicious. They're many varieties but most of them can be found in Malaysia.
22nd Dec.
It is Sentosa Island again today. However, there's something different this time, we're heading to the universal studios ! How awesome is that? We went there and met my cousin's parents. They came here for a short trip to universal studios. haha. I was amazed by the sights inside that place. AMAZING. It's a great place to take awesome pictures and of course purchase many souvenirs. Although, i didn't take many photos. Apparently, my cousins are camera shy. ;D
Here are some,
Spot the cup and the sign says "no littering, violators will be prosecuted."
23rd Dec.
A day in the zoo. We spent hours in the zoo walking and looking at animals. Different kind of animals ! We even get to see a hippo up close! How awesome is that? We walked and walked till our backs feel like breaking.The reason we didn't take a tram because it costs money! Unreasonable. We hung around because we had night safari at night. We went for fish spa as well ! We've got a free fish spa voucher for 5 minutes. Fish spa was awesome. It was ticklish and it woke me up ! haha. After that, we left the zoo and headed for the night safari. As we leave, i took out the ticket and spotted the word, "Admission + ride". It simply means that we can actually ride the tram for free ! I felt stupid. Haha. Night safari was awesome. We get to see so many night dwellers. Mostly deers and antelopes. We even saw hyenas and elephants ! Awesome. it was upclose and there were no fences. ;D You can practically touch them. I was tempted to get off the tram for a walk but there wasn't enough time. My guy cousins were saying that they hope the lions or rather hyenas to jump and attack someone. P/s : they kept making jokes about flash photography. haha. After night safari, we headed to Orchard road to catch a glimpse of the beautifully lighted trees and streets. It was really beautiful ! I couldn't get a nice picture for it was too crowded. Everywhere were high-end fashion shops and i was suddenly reminded of my dear friend Jeremy. He would have loved it here.
24th Dec.
Christmas eve ! We decided to stay home today but we ended up heading to the mall for a little shopping. Just some simple shopping and we're home. Our aunt cooked for us for eating out during christmas eve is horrible. She made baked rice and pork ribs for us. It was scrumptious ! I ate 3 plates of rice and 3 pork ribs ! Enough to fill me up. I even took a few pieces of gingerbread man. HEEEE ! Slept rather late. :D
25th Dec.
We woke up at 9-10 am, and waited for relatives to come to aunt's house. They're having a party today. Christmasparty. How nice ! I found out that they gather every saturday or every special occasion. They were tightly bonded. My aunts are filthy rich for their christmas presents to relative and apple products or rather nerf guns ! I'm envious. We ate and i talked to some of my relatives. It was fun to talk with them. Even the old talks funny. haha.
26th Dec,
It's time to leave Singapore. I'm sad but in a way , i'm glad. I'm glad that i will be going home to people i'm closest with. Sad that i have to leave this place but i am still loving MALAYSIA ! We headed off for an 8 hour journey back home ! What's torchuring is that our part of the train has no air-cond. It was spoilt and they couldn't fix it. They managed to find some places for my grandmother. It's in the first class ! I stayed back and took up two spaces. Haha. Being inside there wasn't so bad, i took it like sauna. Hah. 2 hours before reaching KL, an attendant asked me to join my grandmother in the first class so that she won't be worried about us. (:
How sweet eh?
That's all ! I left the tiny details aside for it was too much ! Singapore was definitely a bittersweet experience.
