Halo~

I’m lagging in updating my trip blog.. and my YouTube Halo~ Konnichiwa trip-log is going to Cambodia next.. ..so much left behind here..

Anyway, we were in Singapore. – the first place in our trip schedule.

See Day 1 in Singapore

Day 2, we went to Sentosa Island for a walk with my friend, Brenda

My school-mate since primary~

Sentosa Island is a man-made island with a man-made beach, a very happening beach with all sort of activities

Sentosa man-made ocean

Nice place to have fun in Singapore. But for me, everything was quite pricey..

At least, we tried ONE of all activities

The MEGAZIP

.

Megazip from above Not cheap but not bad. It was SGD$29.00 / ride.

Second or more ride after that will be SGD$20.00 / ride.

And so, we are up

.

Yeah, a lil’ bit scary seeing from on top..

Megazip shot 1

And, here we go

So fast, so high up, so thrilling, so scary at the starting

I hold the rope so hard that I didn’t get to take any snaps on top…

And I snap , snap , snap , snap , snap so much when the speed started to slow down at the bottom after all the trees~~

I love the part when flying through the forest~

After Megazip, we just had a walk along the beach, watching people, and so.. didn’t had enough time to visit the whole Sentosa Island though..

I'm in love at Sentosa ocean

We were actually viewing some pictures from my camera.. but I kinda love this shot

Category:2010 Asia backpaking Singapore

I lied..
I said I’ll be updating my trip on my blog xxx days? ago and I didn’t..

Sorry..and I hate it too when I’m being lazy..

at least I made new video very often now on YouTube!

Anyway, I’m gonna blog on my lil’ trip around Asia

I’m sharing tips of backpacking and for those who loves travelling!

I’ve moved my whole house from Tokyo to Hokkaido! I had my last few days at my old house in Tokyo trying to clean and pack everything and send everything to Hokkaido home~

We had to depart straight to Malaysia from Tokyo after the house-moving..
Didn’t really had time to really really organized my trip to the MAX, but I did make a lot of research and planned my schedule for a BackPack

My planned schedule 2 months before we depart

All prices in that schedule are for two unless it was written there for one!!

And so we departed on the 6th of October 2010 from Narita (Tokyo) to KLIA (Kuala Lumpur), 3 of us, Mami, Yapi, and me

There’re various ways to Narita from Tokyo and this time we took the New Skyliner which we have not been on one before!

Only
36 mins

– it has always been an hour to Narita

The New Skyliner now is,

More spacious!

Well-designed!

Faster!

Yeah, I went to a few places in Malaysia but I guess I wanna keep Malaysia as my last one to blog

So on the 22 October, we took 5hours in a bus instead of 45mins in a plane from Malaysia to Singapore..

The reason is, coz the bus is way more cheaper

and the bus was great compare to any of the budget flights!

Aeroline bus

AEROLINE
bus, is comfortable with big seats, lounge in the bus with big TV, yummy lunch is served, and the service captain was really PRO and polite

Price
RM90
(from Bandar Utama, Malaysia → Harbour Front, Singapore)
RM70
(back to Malaysia!)

Not a waste of time at all even if took 5 hours all the way to Singapore! Experiencing the journey is one of an excitement too!

Click YouTube and watch it there for bigger size!!

This bus series a lil’ bit boring.. but yeah, just get an idea how does the bus looks like!!

And so, we arrived!

Basically, I haven’t been to Singapore since I was a kid and I didn’t really know how it works in Singapore..

When I first arrived in Singapore

<br />

We arrived at Harbour Front and I didn’t know whether I should take a cab or the subway to my hotel..

Just walked around, to the mall, up and down, till we saw a MRT station in the mall!!

I know I need to go to Aljunied Station

where my hotel is

Singapore MRT signage

A sign at the MRT station reminding parents that their kids are now old enough that you have to PAY!!

It takes only 10mins ~ 15mins from Harbour Front to Aljunied station

In Aljunied, again we have to look at the map to search for the hotel..

A hotel 20mins away from the station.. and we’ve walked for an hour (or more!!) to reach

On the way, we walked pass all these old shops

.

.

Geylang old shops

Geylang old shops - Chinese praying culture

Geylang old shops

I always have an image that Singapore is a big city with modern buildings everywhere

But when I first arrived here, I was impressed

I love old retro stuffs, love the atmosphere, and the feel of nostalgia

I’m glad that I chose this place to stay for the first 2 days in Singapore!

By the way, this place is called
Geylang
.

Geylang
is an old town of Singapore, a town which is kept as it has been since the past 20 years.
It is not a place pretty much straightened-up. Quite a lot of snack bars (prostitution) around
Geylang
as well. Girls walking alone in Geylang, be descent or you will be the target of hunger-for-sex uncles on the street!
