Singapore Trip: Day 1

August 10, 2012 ~ A day to remember.

The day I first set foot on NAIA T3, my first to board the plane and my first to be out of the country. Hmm so many firsts!!!! EXCITED much!!!

This is one of my wishlist for 2012.. to go to SINGAPORE and being ME, well, what I want is definitely what I get (eventhough it's means breaking my piggy bank *sigh*).

I only have a few weeks notice to get ready for this much awaited trip so here goes nothing...

Arriving at NAIA T3

... and off we go!!!!!



Arriving at Changi Airport ~ Budget Terminal
Welcome to Singapore!




It's bright and sunny when we arrive at Singapore and I'm feeling hungry and tired, when I checked my watch it's already 7 o' clock in the evening WHAT??!!! how come? but the sun is still there and by the looks of it, it doesn't have any plans to set any moment, my watch must be busted or the sun is trolling me hmmm. Then as realization hits me.. the sun sets late here.. ohhhhh.. ahhhhh... so that's why I'm feeling hungry, it really is seven in the evening. Good thing there is a free bus ride from the airport to mrt, yes! hassle free.

MRT fare for single journey from Changi Station to Tanah Merah (this is where we going to stay) is $3 I think, but if there is one thing you must remember is to return the ticket so that you can still have your $1 deposit.
Tip: It is much cheaper if you purchase the stored value card for a minimum fare of  $10 because it already includes the bus fare.

And as for the bus if you don't have the stored value card yet just make sure you have enough coins with you because they don't give change. (happened to us)

  At the MRT

After we checked-in our first agenda for the night is to EAT! yeah! my favorite. It's already late and the bus is until 12 midnight only so, our first destination is....

Dinner at The Shoppes at the Marina Bay Sands

Look they even have mini Venice inside the mall! 
Actually this is called The Sampan Ride.

Ok! time for group picture!

Just a random picture after dinner at Rasapura. 

No, we didn't eat at Kraze Burgers we actually opted for Filipino dish just to be safe since it's our first day and we don't feel like being adventurous at the moment so we settled for Gerry's Grill. Yep, there's Gerry's Grill and somewhat more expensive. Sorry no pictures this time we are just too hungry to take pictures hehe.


Sightseeing...

Regardless of race, language or religion

And for the finale! Wonder Full!
- an amazing convergence of light, music and sound. It uses light and laser effects to tell the universal tale of the journey of life. (<-- copied from a booklet ) They project the video on the water.. amazing!







I really wanted to post a video of Wonder Full but my net is crappy it can't upload a video. Maybe next time if I have better connection I'll update this post. So for now that's it for day 1!


Watch out for day 2
