The last how many days was an adventure! It was my first flight out of
the country and I learned new things: 1. Double check your baggage's weight.
2. Always check your passport's expiration date. You need to make
sure you've got more than 6 months to go from the date of your flight.
My dear boyfriend had to extend his passport then and there. He ended
up getting to Singapore a day later.
3. Bring a book or a gadget where you could watch videos, etc. The
flight isn't that long but it's not that short either.
4. Bring really comfy footwear.
5. Invest in Aquazorb. I plan to buy one such towel before I go on my
next trip. (Whenever that would be lol.) Martin was a good companion for the trip. I was really nervous about
the immigration thing because of the DOST thing. We were also mistaken
as siblings by the person manning the entry area towards the different
gates of NAIA Terminal 3. By the time we got to Singapore, our friend Shane was waiting for us
and we were talking about the plane ride, the immigration stuff, etc.
We stayed up and waited for our friend Glenn -- the reason we went to
Singapore. XDDD He was surprised when he entered the unit so the trip
was really worth it! :D My first day in Singapore was basically in Universal Studios. Martin
and I went around until our feet got tired. Got to see Shrek 4D!
Hahaha. That was fun. :D I tried some rides too. That includes the
Mummy ride. I survived riding it twice! Lol. Martin and Joan (via
iMessage) effectively goaded me into trying it. Both times I was
nervous. I could hear Martin laughing so much during the ride and so
I was really envious that he was able to truly enjoy it. At least I
am not so chicken about it because I did ride twice. Hahaha. We had
lunch at Loui's. The pizza slices were huge! Another good thing at
Universal Studios was my photo-op with Po! :D After Universal Studios, we met up with Shane in Tampines and we went
to Ikea. :D :D :D That was really glorious! Such a huge place. And
the food was great! We had so much food: chicken wings, meatballs,
daim cake, pasta, etc. We bought dinner for Glenn and JM from Ikea.
Decided to bring home dark chocolate from Ikea too. That night we
stayed up late waiting for JM. The third day in Singapore was in Jurong Bird Park. I SAW PENGUINS! :D
:D :D We attended one of the shows in the bird park and one of the
highlights was that the birds were showing off their skills. When the
handler asked if anyone was celebrating a birthday, we all pointed at
Glenn. It was really his birthday that day and the parrot sang for
him and another kid. XD That was cute! We also dropped by Vivo City and I ended up buying a Charles and Keith
bag. So pretty! And it's brown. I love brown so I couldn't resist.
Plus it's one of those new bags. JM also shopped that day. He found
nice brown shoes. (We like brown hahahaha.) Dinner was in Seoul
Garden. Korean dinner~! Lots of great kimchi ;) Sunday morning was in Wild Wild Wet, a nearby water theme park. I
don't really know how to swim but I survived! :D The 'tsunami' in one
of the areas got me dizzy so I sat for a bit and Shane kept me company
while the guys were trying out the different slides. We all went to
the big slide with the gigantic boat-like thing were we all fit. We
went down the slide twice XD After that, we went home to change and
we then went to Vivo City where we bought snacks. JM and I proceeded
to watch Songs of the Sea. It was one fun and enchanting show. You
have to experience it to understand what I mean. If you're getting
regular seats, be early so you would be near the main area of the
show. :) Shane, Glenn and Martin went around to window shop and we
just met up after. Dinner was at Makan Sutra! Lots of great food:
cereal prawn, stingray, chili crab. Did I say glorious food? :D Today we went to the Singapore Zoo. Going around was pretty tiring
but still fun. I liked the fragile forest because the animals were
freely moving around :) I saw lemurs, birds, monkeys, bats and
butterflies! There were also penguins in the Singapore Zoo so I was
really happy. Too bad the polar bear wasn't there. Why? Because
they're going to include it in the River Safari in 2012. There was
also a show in Singapore Zoo that talks about the destruction of the
rain forest. It's informative and I think kids will understand it. After Singapore Zoo, we went to Marina Bay. We walked around. The
place is beautiful in the evening. The helix bridge even had letters
A, C, G, T all over it. We saw the Singapore flyer from there. At the
Merlion Park were lots of tourists including us~! XDDD There was also
a light and water show there. It was beautiful! Not as lovely as
Songs of the Sea but it has its own great points. My main luggage is more or less packed. I've got some food stuff to
bring home ^^;;; And I am pretty sure my sister will love what I got
for her from the Singapore Zoo. When I wake up later, I'd be
preparing for our trip to Orchard Road and Funan to do the last leg of
shopping. Hope to get something for my mom there. I'd be dropping by
Sephora so maybe I'd get a thing or two. It depends. I have other things I wish to write about my trip to Singapore but I
think it's better to post all the touristy goodness in this entry. The
other details will come later when I have pictures to share.cross-posted via posterous.com: http://eclair.posterous.com
