Day 2 : Singapore Part I

Assalam & 안녕...

Date : 31st January 2015
Location : Merlion Park & Singapore River

Direction : Raffles Place St.

**********

This morning, I planned to go to Merlion Park first, a famous landmark of Singapore. According to what I read, Merlion is a reimagining of lion and mermaid. It can be said that merlion is a half fish and half lion. Hihihiii...Merlion is a major tourist attraction at One Fullerton.

Upon exiting the station, I follow Battery Road direction and the first thing I've got to see is Singapore Land Tower building in front of me. Ada CIMB Bank ok...hahahaa. Facing the building, I walk to the left of the building where I can see Bank of China on my left. This bank is located at the junction of Battery Road and Flint St, but I just walk straight and actually I can already see Fullerton Hotel in front of me (pic no. 4). Walk to the right and I see the signboard in picture no 5. Just few metres from the signboard, there is a small escalator. What I need to do is only take the escalator and then follow all the signage inside the building. The escalator is actually leading me to the underground passage to the Merlion Park. So, tak perlulah aku berpanas berpeluh bagai walaupun hari masih agak pagi. Fuhhh~~Dalam ni gak ada traveltor so takdelah penat sangat sebab jarak dia agak jauhlah bagi aku.

Day 1 : Singapore Part II

Assalam & 안녕...

At previous entry, I said that I am lost. Alkisahnya...jalan punya jalan (yang aku rasa cam sangat jauh compared masa pegi) akhirnya jumpa gak station MRT. Station ni adalah berbeza daripada station yang aku tiba awal-awal tadi. That station is Nicoll Highway Station (Circle Line). ㅋㅋㅋ.....Blasah je la labu!

Everything happens for a reason...

Ada hikmahnya aku sesat. When I look around, somehow...I discover something. Is that it?

Day 1 : Singapore Part I

Assalam & 안녕...

Location : Bugis Junction, Kg Glam and Gardens by the Bay

Date : 30th January 2016

 

**********

The first place yang aku tuju ialah Bugis Street. To go there, I get off at Bugis Station Actually, when you exit the station you are already at Bugis Junction if you follow the left side. So I take the opposite side of Bugis Junction by escalator. You will face Bugis Street building across the road.

 

 

I just have a look inside the building. Don't spend too much here since it's almost noon at the time I reach there. Some more, I need to 빨리 빨리 find the hostel...this bag which I carried along seems heavy. A disadvantage of MRT station here is they don't provide locker, so I need to carry the bag where ever I go. Another option is that, keep it at the hostel. Luckily, I just bring my backpack but it is still tiring as I walk around in a hot weather.   

From Bugis Street, I walk to Kg Glam. This one memang buat aku berpeluh. Mulanya berlagak takmo buka map. Bajet2 nak jadik local la...skali amik ko! Dok patah balik...patah balik...last2 duduk barang 5 minit kat Bugis Junction tu sebab penat dan panas.

Transportation card at Singapore

Assalam & 안녕...

I arrived at Changi Airport 15 minutes earlier than ETA. Am being so nervous and still doubt whether I can survive alone in foreign country.

Prelude of First Solo Trip 2016

Assalam & 안녕...

아싸!!! 미션 성공...

My first resolution to do solo trip was ended successfully during recent long weekend,

at the end of Jan. 2016 - a first month of every calender year!

축하해...

 

드디어!!!...

 

여행 전에, I've been in a great state of curiousity and worry since this trip marked as my first attempt of solo travel. Yes...it is just a neighbouring country, but for myself whom never go on a trip alone, it is such a big and hardest decision to make (it may becomes easier after this :D).

 

Typical me...

It's better late than never

So then, I've made up my mind and here we go!!!

 

HaHahaAAhhaaaa (gelak dengan nada riak!)

 Kesimpulan yang aku dapat hasil daripada solo trip ni ialah :

 

Information/preparation kena tip-top...do own research!

JANGAN malu bertanya...ringankan mulut

I used to be ignorant...trip ni ajar aku to be ALERT!

LEARN & APPRECIATE as u travel (I did during my previous trips but when doing solo, it becomes more and more and more)

Mind state must always in a good shape

DON'T STRESS yourself too much...just have fun

 

Later, I will write what happened there and where I go. 지금 가지...인사!
