For the first time in my life I was able to take a long vacation outside the Philippines. It's also my first time to ride an airplane. I was excited and scared at the same time, thinking of a plane crash and the probability of surviving one is really low but thank God we have a smooth trip arriving at Singapore in one piece.
I stayed at Ate Jeng's HDB (It's like a condo type apartment). My first day was a blast CJ was my tour guide she showed me how to load the Ez-link card it's the key to every public transportation there from the MRT/LRT to Buses. I was amazed on how they come up with that kind of system. Just by riding the MRT/LRT enables you to travel around Singapore. We went down at Orchard Station to go to Lucky Plaza to meet Bhowie. I was astonish on how the area was so clean people there are very discipline maybe for the fact that there is a big fine awaiting for you when you're caught littering. I also notice that the people there are very slim specially the ladies they are fun of wearing fashionable clothes on a regular day. They also like to wear very short skirts and shorts flaunting their milky white legs ;) That day is Bhowie's pay day so he treated us for dinner and damn! the food at Singapore was so expensive to think that we just ate at a food court, the average meal there cost you 150 pesos plus a drink that cost around 50 pesos and also the cigarettes there cost you 300 pesos for a pack! Not all things there are expensive though clothes and gadgets there are cheaper compared here at Pinas.
May first 5 days at Singapore it's more like a mall tour, going around Singapore taking pictures and enjoying the place, I felt like I was in paradise freedom from pollution, traffic, snatchers... yes you can walk freely at the street using your top of the line mobile phones without being scared of bad people taking it away from you. There is also no security guard at the door of every establishments checking your bags from bombs. I also like the dirty ice cream it cost about 30 pesos here its size is like a block of cheese squeeze between two wafer. The chocolate chip is my personal favorite.
We went to Zouk Club on a Wednesday with CJ and some college Friends to experience how Singaporeans party. And we were all surprised when we went inside they are playing old school music more of a new wave kinda thing. One thing that really caught our attention is they have dance steps actually more of a sign language on every songs played as if the songs are played over and over again. They called it Mambo Jumbo night I called it weird hehehehe.
Sentosa was the icing on the cake it's the last place I visited before I went back home. We took pictures at the Mir lion, ride the luge and the sky ride which was really scary. Watch the dolphin show and checked out the Underwater World but the one thing I really enjoyed is watching the 4D movie it was really cool.
Our flight to Manila was in the morning and it was raining while in the taxi going to the airport I reminisce about my experience. If I only have the money to burn and no work to comeback to I will definitely stay there. Taking a vacation to other countries was really something, specially if you have the money to back you up. Singapore was first on my list... I'm wondering which country would be next.
