Adam's trip

As requested, a post about my short, budget trip to Singapore!

First day in Singapore, I was at Universal Studios Hollywood Singapore (duh!) I think most of you have been there, or at least heard of it. The games are cool, but the weather was not. It's killing !

Okay, back to the themepark, we were lucky that it was a weekday, so that indicates LESS PEOPLE ! No queue, can repeatedly play all the games and lockers are available ! My most favourite ride would definitely be Transformers, and Shrek, Jurassic Park comes second and third (because it will make you wet, oooh aaaah). The rest are still fun, never under-estimate them (Battlestar, Ancient).

Food journal: The night before USS, I had myself the nicest, most colourful, scrummiest, most delicious, highly pleasant, most delectable, most scrumptious, yummiest and juiciest ABC I have ever tasted ! It came from heaven. God sent it to me as a sign that EXAMS ARE OVER (well, the last paper was that morning) lol. I have never tasted any ABC that delicious, SERIOUSLY. The best part, they only cost you RM3 ! RINGGIT MALAYSIA THREEEEEE. Not even a three fifty. I paid him three fifty (Read: RM3.50) then he told me, "Adik, it's only three ringgit", or Sara if you don't understand, he said, "Kiddo, it's only three ringgit". Three ringgit for the special one with ice cream ! So the normal ones? Free? Lol

He should pay me commissions for that review. Well, move on, I tried McCafe ! Though we have it in Klang Valley now, but my first cup of McCafe was in IFly Singapore, in Sentosa. My first kiss with McCafe was with Caramel Frappe. Taste good. Worth buying. I also tried Mango Frappe and Mocha, but I less preferred Mango. The next day, we dropped by at another McD in Orchard Road, as WE ARE ADDICTED. It's relatively cheap compared to Starbucks, and it tastes nearly the same, well at least according to my taste buds. I tried Double Chocolate, and this would be my favourite among all four I have tasted. My next McCafe experience would be to try their hot drinks.

This is a long blog post. I have not even finished my first day. After USS, we went downtown Singapore. We parked at Suntec building, and walked to Merlion Park. Yes, it's super far, we should have worn track suits and sportswear, and join some Singaporeans jogging along the waterfront.
The view there is breathtaking. Million dollar view ! Singaporean or US Dollar? You decide. I would love to be on top of Marina Bay Sands, the one they call it like a ship landed on top of three buildings. The skypark. The skyline is mesmerizing too. I love to see skyscrapers and tall buildings.

Third photo: Fountain of Wealth. We had the chance to be in the middle of the fountain and perform the 'rituals' there. We were asked to circle the mini fountain inside, three times, with right hand inside the fountain. Probably wealth will come after you, LOL. And finally, after a long walk, we met Merlion. I felt the breeze of Merlion's saliva.

It's about time for the second day in Singapore!

A day dedicated for shopping. First stop: Bugis Junction area. It's like our own Sungei Wang Plaza, they have alternatives for things you can't afford to own. Relatively cheaper than Orchard Road. Second pitstop: Orchard Road. This is their premier shopping street, just like Fifth Avenue in NYC, Oxford Street in London, Champs-Elysees in Paris, Via Montepoleone in Milan, Ginza in Tokyo and Jalan Bukit Bintang in KL.

 Third day of the trip was not in Singapore. Its a day dedicated for Johor Bahru. First stop was Johor Premium Outlet. It's my second time here. For those who asked me about the price there, not everything was marked down and affordable. But one shop you must enter is Pedro. All shoes are the type of shoes I would wear (mens, of course) and the price could go as low as RM 110.

 I took a train ride to get back home. I took the one with bed. The upper bed is RM 37, while the one below is RM43 or RM45 can't exactly remember. I would prefer train than bus, because I could sleep happily on my bed. They also serve food at the train cafe. They have toilets! I actually had enough of bus trip, because previously I took my diploma in Kedah, and that was 3 years of travelling using bus and it bored me to death. I would rather take a slow train, but I can sleep on a proper bed. So far I had no problem with the sounds and minor vibrations of the train, but just make sure you are ready to sleep (tired). If you want to save money, you can take the normal seats, they are cheaper than bus tickets, but it would take longer to reach your destination.

Hey, that's the end of my story. Now, I want to eat some ice cream. See you soon !
