Singapore Trip - Sentosa Island : Musical Water Show

This is my second time watched the musical water show. But this time, I can appreciate more ...

Singapore Trip - Sentosa island



Unfortunate it was raining when we reaching Sentosa Island. So, there were so many activities planned was canceled. So we only wander around the station and any place which nearby the covered pathway.



And the park also offers a variety of nice landscape ...



The flower also beautiful ...



But I can't stay any longer. It is so structured and neat ... and I'm bored of this. Can I go back and sleep? ... Muaaaahh ...

Singapore Trip - Sentosa island : VivoCity

We used a different route for this trip to Sentosa Island. There are new monorel station located in new shopping complex called VivoCity. The place is huge and lot of brand new concept store. The tiles were blinking as if there were a star.



The monorel ticket cost us S$3. While waiting for mummy to buy the ticket, I ran here and there ... happily coz I don't need to pay for it.



There is also an outdoor area which is facing Sentosa Island. I found a red cow and it is like the cow located at the Curve next to Ikea.

Singapore Trip - Sentosa island : Monorel



The monorel schedule every 5 minutes and currently there are 4 stations operate on the island. The ticket is disposable and not refundable like the MRT ticket.



The size is almost the same as the monorel in KL.

Singapore Trip - Anthony Bourdain



During our window shopping trip around Arab Street, we met Anthony Bourdain, a famous celebrity Chef featured in 'Travel and Living' channel. His program 'No Reservation" airs around the world.

My mum took this picture and it is good. When my dad took turn to take the picture, the outcome was terrible. So I cannot share that picture.

Singapore Trip - Masjid Sultan




There are a number of old Masjid in Singapore. One of it is Masjid Sultan. There are famous murtabak maker just a cross the street next to the Masjid.

A row of restaurant which sells Indian food offered a variety of Murtabak. You better have it there, because it is great to taste it when the food still hot.

Singapore Trip - Arab Street



My grandma really wanted to visit Arab Street since a few week back it was aired in Nona TV3. The place looked great in TV but in my opinion it cannot be compared with Jalan Masjid India.



Yes it is true the street is cleaner as compared to Jalan Masjid India but the shop in Masjid India gave more choice and offer more attractive price, value for money.



My grandma told me, when my mum still small, people from Melaka used to come to Singapore regularly and shop till drop because the Singapore currency is very low. Around 80 cent per RM1. But now, their currency is more than double than us.



But westerner love to come to Singapore because they don't feel homesick. Because Singapore just another modern city. Good transportation facilities and easy to communicate.



Other fun thing when you were abroad is to taste the local food ....

Singapore Trip - Mazda 3




Nek Busu surprised us by showing her new car, Mazda 3! Another surprised was the red color was chosen by Moyang Usop. I saw my dad wipe his mouth when Nek Su show her car. Very sporty ...



Great handling ... Fuel efficient ...



Spacious compartment ...

Overall I gave 4.5 star!

Singapore Trip - Rain

Right after we entered Moyang Usop's house, the rain poured heavily. And all of our planned for that afternoon also washed out by the rain.



I just can look out through the window and see the rain drops. I realized that Singaporian who lived in this 'pigeon hole' have a very limited space to hang their wet cloth. Most of the flat was developed by HDP and have a hole under their kitchen window so they can put a long stick to hang their cloth.

Singapore Trip - Pigeon Hole



We arrived at Chai Chee around 12.00 noon and it is quite tiring. We crossed over the causeway via bus and took a taxi from Rochor Road to get here.



It is typical view of a housing estate in Singapore. My mum said, the people here stays in the 'pigeon hole'. I didn't really understand what was the meaning of that phrase, but I'm busying myself chasing the pigeon downstairs.

Singapore Trip - License Public Writer




A Chinesse man passed through a licensed public writer in front of Johor Baharu's Immigration Office. I waited a few minute just wanted to see what is his role as a license public writer's job. His clients normally is a general worker or elderly who cannot filled in the embarkation card to entry to Singapore. Very different with current writer, who is online, not license and no charged ... we call it a blogger!

Singapore Trip - Senai Airport




I saw a big green truck and was very excited. It was an army truck, parked illegally in front of the arrival hall. And as usual, I'm admiring it tyres. And due to that, we all missed the bus heading to City Lounge, a bus terminal to Singapore. But lucky the lady in charge called the bus driver to make a U turn and fetched us. Sorry everybody!

Singapore Trip - MU's Plane



I sat in the first row and was shock that the wall in front of was full with all MU's players signature.



You can see signature Ryan Giggs, Ferdinand, Park and more ....




I took this opportunity to dedicate these snaps to all MU's fans! I think this year Chelsea wouldn't be able to close the gap. Go MU go!

Singapore Trip - LCCT to Senai

Over the weekend last week, I had an opportunity to visit my mum's untie. She asked me to call her, Nek Cik. Anyway, let talk about my journey, and I'll talk about Nek Su later.



Our flight from LCCT was at 7.55am, so everybody performed their Subuh pray in the airport. We came by two cars, since Nenek and Mak Teh's friend untie Halimah also follow. So it is 6 of us. Pak Uda and Pak Tam sent us.



I'm glad that the flight which we ride was the plane which featured Manchester United FC players on it. Nenek also didn't want to miss the opportunity to take a picture in front of the plane. My be she wanted to show to Atuk this picture. My Grandpa was an active footballer and he still involves with it till now. He is currently a referee registered with Melaka Football Association.
