Day 1 in Singapore: Vivocity, City Hall, Suntec, Klellang


Me, Hui Shin and Whye Shin continue our trip to Singapore. We reach Singapore around 12pm. We stop at Bugis and take MRT to Jurung East. After put our luggage at Khim Kee house, we have our Singapore first lunch at the kopitiam at Khim Kee house downstairs. Then we take MRT to Vivocity shopping. In the MRT, i meet Tian Siang, my industry training colleague and his girlfriend. I'm very surprise to meet him, because he supposedly work at Sarawak now. He quit the Sarawak job and wan to find a new job at Singapore. He take MRT but donno where to go, so he follow us to VivoCity. We walk separately when we reach VivoCity. I bought my new watch and Bossini's T-shirt at S$8 at VivoCity. Then we go to City Hall and Suntec because is raining and we cant go to Klellang to have our dinner. We all very hungry, so we decide to go a Japanese and Korean Restaurant to have our dinner first. After a short shopping at City Hall and Suntec, we go to Klellang to have our Frog Porridge at Lorong 3 and Soya milk at Lorong 7. Both of the restaurant open 24 hours. The frog porridge is very very delicious. This is the second time i ate the frog porridge. Oh... I miss the porridge a lot a lot... Who wan to cook for me??? The Soya bean restaurant also many many people. I want to try it because i wonder what is "Tou Jiang You Tiao", the song sing by Singapore singer, JJ. Haha..... We meet a Melaka MMU friend, Advent and his girlfriend (forgot her name, she also MMU student) at there. Hui Shin and Khim Kee "chit chat" with them, while Whye Shin and I find the place to sit. Me and Whye Shin share a Soya Milk and 1 "You Tiao", Khim Kee eat "Tao Fu Fa". The Soya milk taste not good, it totally no sugar. We add a lot of sugar into the Soya Milk and taste better. After the supper, we take Taxi and go back home.

Today is Christmas Eve. We plan to go Orchard Road countdown, so we just go to the nearby shopping mall - Jurung Point and IMM after our lunch. I bought the Esprit t-shirt at S$15.90. It is very very cheap. As Esprit T-shirt normally cost more than RM50. After shopping, we go back home and prepare to go Orchard Road. We go to Vila'ge Restaurant to have our christmas eve dinner. The Vila'sge Restaurant is at Orchard Road, but forgot which Shopping Mall. It is at Lower Ground floor. We walk and find very long time because Khim Kee also forgot which shopping mall it is. The Vila'ge Restaurant is like a food court, but actually it is a very big restaurant which consists of many stall of western food. After rounding the whole restaurant, we start to order our meal. At first we plan to order 3 foods, but donno why we order 5 foods, so we eat until very full. Thank you Ah Jie(Khim Kee) that he treat us that meal. That dinner costs a lot ler.... really paise.... Haha.... After dinner, we lazy to 'Lepak' at Orchard Road, because too many people, so we go to Coffee Bean to have a drink. We are so lucky that we can find a place to sit in the Coffee Bean, because the Starbuck need to Q very long. Well~~12O'clock is coming soon. We go to count down and start to Spray.... We didn't play very long because we still have to rush for our bus and MRT. The MRT that we sit is very very blank... I also dono why lor... When we reach home, it is already 2am... So we strait away go to bed after bath.

Merry Christmas!!! The day of Christmas we go to Bugis Juction after our breakfast. We go to eat steamboat which near to Bugis Juction oso... The steamboat restaurant need to wait very long, so we go there earlier as our lunch & dinner. We order "Small Spicy" soup and Herbal soup. Lucky we stop Khim Kee to order "Medium Spicy", if not the whole soup nobody will eat. The steamboat choice got many and different with Malaysia steamboat. We also eat a lot of Crabs, Jagungs, Vegi. Haha.... I like the crab very much. The crab is big and the crab meat is sweet. We meet Traven, Jackie, Liang Ping, Simon at there. But because the restaurant too many people Q-ing, so they go to another steamboat restaurant. We go to find them after our 3 hours steamboat... haha.... Next, we go to Orchard Road again.... Orchard Road still very happening on the Christmas night. There are many "Flower Car" at the Orchard Road. Orchard Road close on that day because of this. We take some photo and go to shopping.

We spent the whole day at Sentosa on the 4th day in the Singapore. We take bus to Harbour Front and take Sentosa Shuttle bus to enter the Sentosa. We bought the Sentosa ticket at Melaka MATTA Fair at RM118. The package of the ticket that we bought includes Sentosa entrance, The Merlion, Image of Singaoire, Cine Blast, Songs of the Sea, 1 Luge and 1 Skyride, 1 meal at Taste of Singapore, 1 Cocktial at Skybar and Comboo set at Oscar Oscar. The package very worth, because the fees of this are more than RM118.

First, we go to The Merlion/Merlion Walk. The worker gives us a token, an
d say got mysterious give for us with that token. We go into the Merlion Walk, and start enjoy the cartoon of the story of the Merlion. The cartoon Merlion very cute, but i cant manage to capture its photo. The Merlion is mixed with the lion and dragoon. Wanna know the story?? Go to check la.... Haha...

After visit the Image of Singapore, we go to Cine Blast. The Cine Blast is the new activity in Sentosa. It is include in the ticket we bought, so we just try it out. At first we also wanna try 4D Magix too, but the Cine Blast is not good and not fun, so we didn't go to 4D Magix, we scare it also not fun. After Cine Blast, we go to the Luge and Skyride. I drive the luge very slow, because Hui Shin ask me to wait for her, but at last i'm the last who reach the point. Hui Shin also manage to take my photo. Only me got the photo. Haha.... Kesian the others.... The Luge is very fun, but expensive, S$16. Lucky it is include in our ticket. I tot the skyride is very scary, but it is not.

Me and Hui Shin order Spaghetti (S$8.50), Khim Kee order Chicken Rice (S$9.50) and Whye Shin order Salmon Fish (S$11.50).

Khim Kee get discount of S$6 because he got the Singapore Working Permit. After bought the ticket, we find a place and wait for the show. Sentosa is popular with the pink dolphin. The dolphin will slowly turn to pink color when it gets older and older. I feel the show is not bad, the dolphin is clever, but the other 3 said the show not nice. Donno ler... Hehe...

After watched the dolphin show, we go to Underwater World. We straightaway go to the entrance, because the ticket of Dolphin Lagoon included the Underwater World ticket. I like the Jelly Fish and the Seahorse in the Underwater World.

Next, we go to the Skybar to have our free Cocktail. The cocktail is in green color with a Marshmallow on top. Khim Kee lost his ticket at Underwater World, so we just got 3 cups of cocktail. Luckily, Khim Kee didn't lost the Songs of the Sea's ticket, if not he will miss out a good show. After a rest, we rush to the Animal and Bird Encounters Show. The show was fun for me but scary for Khim Kee and Hui Shin. Both of them scared by the eagle that fly over their head during the show. Hui Shin also sprain her waist. Wakaka....

After the free animals and birds show, we go to the ticket counter and wait until 6.30pm to exchange our Songs of the Sea's ticket. After get the ticket, we straightaway go to line up although our show start at 7.30pm. Me, Hui Shin and Whye Shin go to get our free combo set from the Oscar Oscar Restaurant. We pick 1 pop corn and 2 chips. The Chips is nice without the sos that given and the pop corn is very big box.... We just sit down on the floor and enjoy our meal... Many people just follow us, go to buy drink n food and sit down on the floor when Q-ing for the show. Haha.... After awhile, we enter to the show. We are so lucky that we sit on the first row. We can take a lot of photo without people's head. Haha.... The show is very nice. It is different with what i watch when i was a child. The animation is good, but story guideline not so interesting. The story says that a young boy rescue a princess in the sea with his power of voices. After the show, we take the shuttle bus to Harbour Front and back to home.
