The Singapore Trip =)I feel like..it's been AGES since I went to Singapore. The last time I went there was for Christmas..I'm not sure how many years back..could've been for a long time cuz I don't really recognise the places there. Some of the stuff I remembered were blinky lights all over Orchard Road and I went to Clark Quay (forgot how to spell it) during that Christmas.
On the first day (
9th May) we reached Johor approximately around 4-5pm..we decided to go to the East Coast to get some seafood at night. :) Believe it or not, I've never been to the east coast..so yeah, it was my first time. haha. The food there were delicious. I ordered lala's..Nadia was condemning the lala's like they were the worst food in the world. Wth?! (Do not ever believe food judgements passed by a person that doesn't eat CHEESE. Yes, Nadia I'm talking about YOU!)
By the way, I thought Singapore's toilets are supposed to be squeeky clean or something? So why do I see THESE.
This was the "cleanest" cubicle there which I was forced to use. You have no idea how I layered the toilet seat with tissue papers, I was afraid I might get some disease from it. =/
Some of the cubicles were filled with Un-Flushed SHIT!!! I HATE people who doesn't know how to FLUSH after they use the toilet. Bladdy hell, force innocent people like me to come across such a horrid sight. EW. Come on, even though it's a public toilet, do have some courtesy for OTHERS who are also using it, alright?
I think they wiped their asses and threw the tissue in the bin instead of the toilet bowl. Blegh.
Shall stop about the toilets and proceed to less ew-y stuff.
After sitting around..we went to the jetty..
I've never seen such a long fishing rod in my life. Didn't get to take a picture because it was too dark..
The jetty was romantic though..hehe :)
Moving on to the second day! (
10th May)
We went to Sentosa Island. Believe it or not (again), I've never been to Sentosa Island! Hey you, stop rolling your eyes and thinking "wah, she's so jakun". =(
I was told that there were PINK dolphins there. Sadly, we didn't have enough time to go to that area..was busy going around the animals area and the sky tower. hehe
The siberian husky below is from the animal show..and he is just so smart!! I love love love siberian huskies..I want one! But..Malaysia's climate is not ideal for such dogs...haih..............
The dog can bark when the dude shows some sign language and it can also lie down when the guy says "bang". Obedient, smart and cute. aw. :)
After Sentosa..we went to a "secret" place which overlooked the ocean..it was at some nature reserve. We had to park the car at the bottom and walk up..it was dark and pretty scary..but when we reached...I just have to say..wow, I've never really seen anything like that in Malaysia..
There's this small wooden "jetty" on the hill..when you walk right to the end of it..you can see the ocean..both sides are covered with magnificent looking trees and there's this aura of serene and romance. Loved it. hehe. =)
If there is some place like that in Malaysia, it would be my favourite hang out spot. But then again, if it was in Malaysia, I would've gotten robbed and killed easily because it's so dark and quiet.
On the third day (
11th May), we decided that we should go for shopping. I love shopping, I live to shop. When I'm bored, I shop. When I'm sad, I shop. When I'm happy, I shop. When I'm stressed, I shop. Basically, shopping is a cure for almost all my moods. I get really happy when I get something I like. hehe.
Nadia desperately wanted to get a tattoo above her ass, soo she was taken to some tattoo artist at Far East plaza. When I first heard the name Far East, I thought it was "Faiz". It's the fella's Pronounciation problem! My hearing is fine. =/
While Nadia did her tattoo ($250), I went around Orchard Road to shop!
Picture of the end result. Nice? I sooo want one. I asked my mom, "mie, can I get a tattoo?". Answer was "over my dead body"..Sigh, I guess I won't be having one for a long long time. Shall just admire other people who does have nice tattoo. :(
By the way, I've been repeating this sentence to Nadia and Annie since last semester "I want to buy sneakers". Everytime we walked around any shopping complex, I would be going around shoe shops to check out their sneakers with Annie cuz she wanted one too. Sadly, we couldn't find any nice onces..so, my desire for sneakers were forced to be put on hold until I found one I really really love.
Well, obviously..
I found the sneakers I really really love in Singapore that's why I'm blogging about it. hehe *smiles broadly* =D
The brand is called Onitsuka..and yeah, it is a Japanese brand. Me likeee :)
Loads of people were wearing Onitsuka's in Singapore..it's probably even more famous than Nike or Adidas over there.
I wanted a pair of sneakers which is unique and girly and comfortable. And Onitsuka provided what I want. ;)
So there, my beloved sneakers in the box. It's a like a treasure and I love it so much I'm wondering if I would even wear it. haha.
Look at the cute Japanese words inside the shoe! :p
This was the last pair and I grabbed it without a second thought. Bought it for $167.60 which would be around RM385 and that was after discount. Previously it was priced at $233.50 (RM583). I think it's worth it and I've never regretted buying it. ;)
Other than that, I bought some clothes as well. There was this jacket-dress thingie from another Japanese brand which I fell in love with..the moment I looked at it on the manequin. The lady told me it was $89, and I thought it was quite a reasonable price. At that time my mind was just telling me "buy it already! It's cheap!". So I bought it (because I kept thinking that it's RM89 for God knows what reason. I've been saying RM alot while I was in Singapore but when I'm in Malaysia I always say "dollar". Wth. Opposite effect). All of a sudden, I remembered I'm not using RM... sooo the amount of money I used for that was RM204.70. It hit me, but I didn't regret purchasing the item either. I think it's worth it as well. heh. Come to think of it, no matter what rubbish I buy, I would always say it's worth it. haha. Oh well, my philosophy would be..if it makes me happy, why not?! :p
Overall..I really enjoyed the trip..it was like going to heaven for 3 days and now I'm back at hell, forced to wake up at 7.30 am to go for the crappy internship. hmphs. =(
