Yay!!

I’m back from another amazing trip! It’s Singapore, yea, the country where lion rules!! =D

Actually it’s simply a trip to visit Singapore’s universities BUT if you’re there and leave without having little visiting, it’s a big big waste right? Lol, that’s how onn and I start our so-called-vacation there!!

We reached JB at midnight and Onn’s relative pick us up, the way back to our ‘house’ is really exhausting, I wasn’t having a good day even, with tonnes of pressure and stress, was really looking forward for a good trip that can splash away my worries!! We actually save a lot as his relatives offer us room for 3 nights!! It’s so sweet, plus free breakfast everyday! L-O-L.

The next early morning, we head towards Singapore, darn excited. I was like, I’m alone with friend here, and I’m going to oversea alone, without PARENTS!! Gosh, taste so great!! Our first destination, NUS- National University of Singapore, it’s the famous school, top school internationally, placed 34th, great school ever.

But everything drop so deep when we ended up LOST!! No joke, lost in a strange place strange country. I know nothing about their transportation and either map. I called my friend, but lack of credit, 3 minutes call for RM7.50! Duh, was so panic but luckily Onn lead me through it. We ask ppl there for directions, and finally we arrived safely in 30 minutes. =)

NUS is so amazing!!! It’s so big? Large? Spacious?! Gosh, I never even imagine it’s so big, I can really get lost there. So many schools inside, fabulous facilities, green grass, tress and flowers, spectacular buildings. They have 20 shuttle busses and bus stop everywhere. So convenient! Their residential areas, it’s like condo! I was thinking, is this a university or a city just for youngsters?! Amazing!!

One thing Singapore did it so great, was their public transportation. As we know how expensive it costs to own a car in Singapore. Just get a ez-link card, and you’re ready to get around Singapore. No matter bus, mrt or monorail, ez-link will just give ya a green light everywhere! We went around almost half of Singapore just within 3 days.

And what’s interesting was we went to Sentosa Island, and it’s a place lotsss of ppl wanna go! (And I went, proud!) Sentosa is big, we thought one day is sufficient for it. IMPOSSIBLE!! At least 2 or 3 days needed for the whole Sentosa. They have their own busses and monorail, and it’s FREE!! =) But every entrance for each stop charge you, and cost you so much, we student cant afford something like that. Plus the exchange rate is high, it’s 2.405. But we still visited the famous Underwater World Singapore in Sentosa Island! The high call for that is their pink dolphin!! The performance for their sea lion and pink dolphin was awesome! I never saw pink dolphin with my naked eyes, and it’s so real, they ‘sing’, dance and play. So cute, but deep down in my heart, I felt that they should be swimming freely in the deep wide sea right? Although they seems happy,(somehow I see them smiling) but they belong to the natural nature God created.

Nah, let’s don’t mention bout the sad stuff. Throughout the whole trip, I visited NUS, NTU, Vivo City (famous shopping complex and I got some super cheap mask there, excited!!), Underwater World Singapore, Sentosa Island, Universal Studio of Singpaore and not forgetting Chinatown! And one more thing, if you are going to Sentosa, try using the Sentosa Boardwalk, it’s nice and amazing, just cost you $1 only. =)

I think it’s all, lazy to elaborate bout others. Pictures talk, so lalala~~~ =D

めぐみ

Hey peeps!!

I'm so excited here to tell you guys how i enjoyed and had fun there!!

Believe me, Redang Island is so darn COOL!! =)

Although i'm so tanned now, everyone thought i'm a pure malay!! =.=

Redang ma, it's a place to enjoy under the sun, swim in the deep blue sea and get your skin tanned!!

I went there with 7 'daring-to-get-super-tanned' buddies, and we had a flight from Airasia to KT airport. After that, Uncle Tan fetched us to the jetty and we waited for 2 hours plus for our boat!

It was a nice and super awesome experience for me in that boat trip to Redang. It takes 1 hour plus inside the boat to reach our destination. And it was sooooo comfortable for ME, only me for that hour. The boat was somehow dancing, water splashing all around, waves were huge and the boat swings along. Everyone was like 'i-gotta-vomit-soon', but i was like 'its-so-super-comfy' and i actually slept!! *proud* =))))

We reached Redang's jetty, but we need to walk under the super hot sun in order to reach our resort. After almost one more hour walking under the sun, we finally reached our Redang Holiday Resort!!! It's real hot, no joke, Phan's nose even bleed!! Gosh!!

BUT, something that takes all our complains off, is that greenish blue deep sea, so pure so clean that we can look through her smiling face. Soft and warm, with some salty taste of pure white beaches in front of us. How can you ever complain about your sweat soaked shirts and dirty salty leg?! It's like heaven, dashing beautifully. The wind sings harmonically, the trees dance gracefully. It's so heaven!!

Without hesitation, we left our luggages in our rooms, run out to have our lunch. Next is to apply Sunplay SPF 130 super block!! =) Then we officially off to the sea!! Hooray!! Snorkelling is so damn fun!!! FUN! Maybe because i know swimming. *twink*

And 4 boys plus me, 1 girl jump into the sea! The sea is soooo cooling, i can say cold! Never expect it, some of us shirvel inside the sea. The water is so clean and clear, it's like mineral water around you. And imagine, it's totally like swimming pool, so crystal clear, but extremely salty. The sea so calm and quiet, fishes swimming all around you, the corals were so beautiful. Some are so large until i was scared it will swallow me up! It's marvelous, fantastic, breathtaking, and wonderful!! p/s, i even enjoy diving too, credits to one snorkelling guy who treat me super best! =)

We went back to our resort after 1 hour plus snorkelling, it's tiring but we all enjoyed. Colourful cakes for tea time. Favorite! =) We rest a little, chat more and smile the most! Then, our wonderful moment has reached!! Playing and swimming with waves. I mean huge waves, which are 2 feet tall? Maybe more, there're just so much taller than me, and we swim with them! They just splash and beat us up like nothing, throwing us almost 1 feet away when they hit us, but kita enjoy larh. =)

One more very special thing we discover in Redang, our resort boss,动力火车told us, that there's a creature called 'blue sand'. They are somehow shell's kids, which lay under the side beaches. What's so special about them, is they give out shinning blue light and they are extremely small in size. We was like 'WOW' when we heard that, we immediately finish our dinner, off to the beach for these special blue sands. We walk in line, so we can check our friend's footstep. We walked sooo far, i think 5 km of beaches, then only we found ONE SUPER BRIGHT AND CUTE blue sand, laying in a footstep. It's so miraculous for me, as i never saw or heard something like that. It's God's creation, so mighty and awesome!!

Happy time flies so fast. We gotta leave Redang, took some photos and look around. Gosh, we look so different. Soooo tanned, everyone so tanned, especially me. I'm having the biggest difference among all my friends. Lol! Clean, packed and leave with a smile, with a promise that we'll be back again! Here are some photos, sit back and relax. Imagine those soft breeze and waves beating the shore. Marvelous!
