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
