#292 Singapore Trip Part I

Since I am the pemalas person that I am, I'll make my Singapore trip posts in parts yea. So as any sane people I know, parts will always start with part I.

So what happened on Day 1??

Day 1.

Amie arrived at the airport around 630am I think and I only arrived around 645am. I waited for my mum while she parked her car and then Amie and I checked in. We asked for front seats and we got front seats. I think 3 seats behind Business Class. The flight was pleasant because there weren't many people on board. Our flight was at 800am but we only took off at around 820am. So arrived in Singapore around 10ish. We were the first ones to get off the plane and once we reached immigration and wanted to claim our baggage, our baggage were the first ones to be out on the belt. :) so yaye for us. Took the cab and reached Hotel Rendezvous at approximately 1045am. Did the things people usually do when they check in into the hotel. Reached our room... Room 523 and tipped the concierge, hahaha dua dua lupa to tip them. So I told them to wait and gave them the money.

the hotel we stayed in... very nice hotel with an affordable price. The price is just nice and it's a walking distance from Orchard Road and Bugis Place.


This is the view from our room, it was raining on the 3rd day so that explains the raindrops on the window when I took this picture that very morning. :)

So on the first day we started our trip by walking from the hotel to Orchard Rd. We didn't know it was going to be a very very long walk but we walked. I can seriously say we truly walked. It took us a good 20 minutes just to reach The Heeren Shops. Then we walked inside and looked around the shops, some of the shops weren't even open yet. :) So then we walked to Somerset MRT station because we have to meet up with Lionel there. Once Lionel arrived we went straight for lunch because we were very very hungry. The first plan was to eat Indonesian food at Tambuhan Mas at Paragon but I wasn't feeling Indonesian food that day so instead we ate at Fish & Co. Their Fish & Chips are to die for.

That mall, Park Mall, sells the most beautiful furniture. The prices are also very beautiful.

I can't remember what this building is... I think it's the front entrance to Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The Heeren Shops which houses I think 3 floors of HMV, a music store. :)


I guess you know who we are by now... yes that fish is the food mat or something...

Right after lunch we went straight to Takashimaya because Lionel had to meet the doctor. After that he went back to work so Amie and I roamed Orchard Road all by ourselves... until at ard 530pm where we had to meet up with him again and we had dinner at Burger King. The only burger I like is BK Doubles Swiss Mushroom. :) Love it...

We went to the DFS, next to Royal Plaza Hotel and then went to Isetan, CK Tang, Takashimaya again, Wisma Atria... hahah everywhere lah around Orchard Road. :)

Went back to the hotel using the MRT. It was a great experience. :)

Balik hotel... I was too tired but I couldn't sleep. I was going through the whole, first night on a different bed syndrome. hehe :)

I guess that's basically it...

More on day 2 tomorrow.. it was Vivocity and Bugis...

#213 Tomorrow

Yaye!! besok besok is the final day for voting. I've voted and yes I'm proud to say I voted for myself and another 6 of the others. So tomorrow the top 7 will be announce and erm... I'm not sure whether I want to be in the top 7 of the executive committee. Eh wait, I forgot I didn't mention what I'm talking about. I'm currently talking about the FBEPS Student Council elections for the batch 2007-2008.

Oh yea... I have friends who can't seem to stop pinching my cheeks. I guess they notice how chubby my cheeks are now and they are very I don't know about it!!! One of the them wanted to but didn't dare and one of them actually did!! hahahah yes I happen to have very chubby cheeks and it's scary because I feel like chubby cheeks=weight gain but it's totally wrong. My weight is still the same... I wonder what causes the chubby cheeks.

Anisah coming down from Singapore this November... ohh I can't wait. She's so excited about it and so am I! I can't wait to see her and hug her! I asked her to get me those fondue thingie, the ones yg pakai candles but she said... it's quite expensive but the ones I saw last January was only $19.90 at Tangs.

Oh... I had this sudden craving for ice cream this afternoon and I asked a friend to get me one and he did but after I texted him I asked another friend to get me ice cream because I thought friend A didn't want to buy it. I asked for the classic paddle pop rainbow... erm.. and it was raining.. and I had ice cream. It was like AH!!!!

till them ppl...

Singapore!! and of course my 1st official blog for 2007

So yea I'm back, actually was back on the 5th but too tired to actually post anything about it. I have yet to settle in with the whole situation in Brunei. The day after I arrived back I actually overslept and had to rush cos my parents were already ready to go out for breakfast.

So yea... left Brunei International Airport at around 11AM because some important people were on board! Arrived there around 1PMish and went straight to Park Hotel Orchard Rd. It's located just opposite of Paragon and erm.. well and it's right infront of Takashimaya so yes I was basically staying in a shopping heaven. :) Right after we checked-in and rested for a bit, headed off straight to erm... Lucky Plaza cos the mom wanted to get slippers and I had to get my iPod! So when the mom bought her slippers... I went in search for my supposeably iPod but ended up not getting it because I ended up getting Creative ZEN Vision:M. It's very nice!! And I got the black one but had to exchange it with a white one two days after. A lot of things happen to the player when I was there but now all I can say... Alhamdulilah it's working just fine!
So got that on the first day... so basically it's my biggest purchase ever using my own money and I'm really satisfied :)

2nd day - VivoCity

Owh this place is the biggest shopping mall in Singapore I have to say. It's freaking big and we didn't even get to finish the whole building that very morning. Nonetheless it was really really fun! I think on the 3rd floor, it has this man-made beach thingie and the small children were swimming about when they're not suppose to. And the time we were there some Swedish ship docked at the harbour. And it looks the same like the one from Pirates of the Caribbean. Sorry no pictures though... hahah lupa take!!

Actually I'm too tired to type out what happened in Singapore. The only thing I can say is... it was super duper FUN!! Post Christmas Sale everywhere. Decorations were still up so it was Season's Greetings everything! Lights were magnificiant!! Let me have the pictures tell you the real deal!...
