Next morning woke up at 6am. As I wanted to have my shower there were so many... Javanese at bathroom. Queuing. 6.30am get down to the kitchen. Had light breakfast as previously. 7.00am-ish started our journey to Sentosa Island. The main event, UNIVERSAL STUDIO SINGAPORE! Yeap we were very much excited. Hopped on to MRT at Lavender, I think. It was during rush hour. Many people were walking and boarding the train. Changed train at Outram Park, and head on to Harbour Front.
We reached there at 8.00am-ish considering our friend had arrived at Singapore that morning from KL. Thought he had arrived but not yet. Rush hour. Waited for half hour or so. Used their public toilet there and found out there is no water. Luckily I checked it first before doing my business. Anyway, my friends had breakfast at McD there then we walked from Vivo City to the Sentosa Island. Reached at Sentosa around 9.30am-ish. Searched for the locker. It is near to the USS entrance. Will cost you around $20 for a big locker for a day. Our bags were big and there were three bags.
Claimed our Groupon ticket at the window counter then enter the USS! But disappointment of the day, the two roller coaster were closed for maintenance. Nonetheless it was nice but I was expecting more rides and more fun rides. By 3.30pm we finished all adult rides. Rest a little. Watched Sesame Street show. Took some pictures with characters. By 5.00pm we exit and bought a coin souvenir for SGD2.
From Harbour Front MRT, we disembarked at Bishan, boarded there to Kranji MRT. Boarded bus SBS 170 to Johor Bharu. Have to wait a bit longer because there were many people in the bus. Around 7.00pm arrived at Larkin, took the car from my Grandpa's house. Had our dinner at some RM5 chicken chop restaurant. A lot of people there because of the price. Started our journey back to KL at 9.00pm. Arrived in Subang at midnight.
It was a fun journey. Would love to visit Singapore again soon and spend time at the park. Planned to go to a park at East Coast Lagoon but time constraint and it was too far from other places. Sad thing our Malaysia Ringgit is getting weak against Singapore. Hoping for a better future.
Next stop?
Wait for next stop in May!

As I was in deep sleep, I think I heard some noises thinking some people are coming in. Then there was another noise around 5am-ish. Then I woke up at 6.30am, getting ready. Shower and all. Then I asked my friend and yeah there were people coming in around 3 something flashing their torchlight to us and another person actually sleep in our room which came in later around 5.30am. So we get ready and had breakfast (french toast and hot tea), online for awhile and off we walk to Lavender MRT station as a starting point. When we were walking there is a cat sleeping on the picnic table. Can't help it but to pet him. Hihi.
So we walked from Lavender to Bugis MRT through Arab Street. Its actually not that far. We get to the last night place. We took the Bugis Downtown MRT line and stop at Botanical Gardens. Spent for like an hour or so at there. Saw some black ducks, turtles, etc pretty much like Gardens in Malaysia. The mat salleh kids running around there. By afternoon we took the MRT and stopped at Orchard Road.
The Road is amazing. They have a lot of shopping malls there. You can't cross the road. Have to use the underpass which is amazing. Saw some sculptures. We walked along the road and went to the Youth Park. A lot of graffiti. Continue walking straight to the skatepark. Rest for a few minutes. Then took a train to the ChinaTown from Somerset MRT.
At that moment my feet felt so tired and just wanna sit. But have to be strong. We only ate biscuits, chocolates and drank a lot of water. We walked around a bit and arrived a place where there are elders playing Chinese chess. I was so tired. Decided to sit around the chess place while my friend searching for a slipper because cannot withstand the shoe. Me, rest for 30 minutes, nap, and off we walk again feeling much better. Saw a Lomography Singapore store there near to the Pagoda.
I don't remember which MRT station we went after China Town but we were heading to the Promenade MRT station. Arrived there hoping for the water feature but it wasn't working. Head to the F1 track via Millenia Mall. The interior of the mall was not proportionate. The design is illusion. Arrived at the Singapore Flyer, the big ferris wheel I think its around $SGD30 or so. Walk along the F1 track and saw a couple of otter, lying on the sand under the beach. Don't know why they are there. Amused for few minutes. As we walk we were trying to catch up with them.
Then arrived at the Olympic Park and Helical Bridge. Saw the football field situated on the water. So cool. We walked into the Marina By The Sands. Was curious where the long escalator go. Fortunately curiosity didn't kill us. We went upper floor and there is a roof with walking deck. So nice. Amazing view too. Walked until the end of the corridor then there was this garden gate. From up there we saw a sucking pool at the ground floor. So nice. We walked through the garden then to the famous Marina Bay. Our destination is Gardens By the Bay. We've made it! Arrived at around 5pm. It was so windy and sunny. Love it. Went up to the suspended walkway at the Garden for $USD5. Worth it.
Went down, walked to the dorm to take a closer look. Many people were jogging and cycling there. Love the view. Then walk walk walk to the Marina Bay again. Rushing to the Raffles Place to meet a friend. Took MRT from Bayfront. Arrived at Raffles Place, again walk from there to the other side of the Marina Bay to watch the light show. If in KL its like KLCC one. Awesome lights and lasers. It starts around 8pm for 15 minutes I think. Then we walk from there to the theater. Saw some guy playing music. Listen to him for 10 minutes. Continue walking up until I don't remember the name of the mall. Too many malls! Had a dinner at Long John Silver. For a set of 4 (us 3 person only) only $SGD20. Super bloated. Happy tummy. Thought of eating our maggi that night but nahhh.
Went hostel around 10pm-ish. New guys in the room. Anddd sleep!

Went to the Singapore the other day with some friends.
Started our journey from Subang to Temasek like 8.30am-ish. Then arrived in JB around 11.30am-ish. We thought of getting lunch first before getting into Singapore. Good decision. Saved some money just because our currency is not doing well. RM2.585 was the rate I exchange at Paradigm Mall two days before this trip.
Parked the car at my relative's house. Walk to the Larkin. When we reached there, super annoying. This one dude keep following me asking, "Pergi mana dik? KL? Seremban?" non-stop. I said no its okay but then still following. This is worst than Puduraya.
Anyway, we bought a ticket to the Kranji MRT station in Singapore. It costs us RM2.20. I remember I went there in 2010 and it was RM1.60? We reached at the Kranji MRT around 2pm-ish after went through both countries' immigration. Decided to bought a pass which function like a Touch 'n' Go. $SGD5 for deposit plus $SGD7 for the amount in it. Tapped the card and off we go to Lavender MRT station. When I get out from the MRT station I was like so happy to see so many bicycles around there. I think the government really supportive of this cycling. From young to old people uses bicycle to go around. Saw old people using electrical bicycle. So fast.
The place we stayed for 2 nights was Backpackers@SG at Jalan Besar. It is a hostel where one room will have many double decker beds. So, you are lucky if you get the good roommate. After we checked in and rest for awhile, we immediately get out from the hostel. Walked to Little India not far away from the hostel. Went into Mustafa shopping centre. Bought some cekedis and drinks. Then get out from there and see the place. There is a square there where people will go there and lepak. So many Indians there. Flooded! They are even stand there and just watch WWE at near restaurant. Joined the crowd for awhile. Telling myself not to be scared, be vigilant and experience it.
We walked into City Square Mall and saw some jumping thing in the mall. Rest for awhile. There are so many interracial couple dating. Then we walked to the Arab street from Little India. On our journey we found some kind of Pasar Karat near Kelantan road or something. They are selling antique things. Many Mat Salleh were there too. With tight budget, only brought $SGD100 we cannot simply buy anything so just look around.
We arrived at Arab Street to see a Singaporean friend there. Had a chat and dinner around there for almost 2 hours till I get shiver. The aircond in the restaurant was really cold. At 10pm we walked to MRT Bugis station together. Arrived at the hostel around 10.30pm. We have a new roommate from Penang. Had a quick bath then poof! into dreamland.
