We left KL on the 4th Aug, boarding the earliest flight (I guess) at 7.45am ... meaning that we reached Singapore at about 8.40am.
Day 1 ~ 4th August 2011
It was a wet wet day on the 1st day. However, the rain never stop us from enjoying ourselves. Guess where is our 1st stop ... where else, of cos hotel !! We need to check in and 'park' our luggage there so that we can travel around freely. Waste no time, we took MRT down to the city, and check-in to the hotel that we have booked earlier - a 3-star hotel there (Hotel Bencoolen). It is SGD 178 per nite! Overall comments about this hotel, it is fine, most important .. CLEAN !! Breakfast was so so, not much of varieties but i love the location the most ... so convenient that it is less than 5 mins walk from the Bras Basah station :)
After checking in the hotel, we went across to have a early lunch at Kopitiam. And once we have fed our cute little tummy, we took the MRT to Harbourfront and get on the Jewel Cable Car to cross over to Sentosa Island. Visited a few attractions there such as Underwater World and the Dolphin Lagoon. Went for a Log ride @ Cineblast, walk around the Merlion Walk and finally, we went for Songs of the Sea before we called it a day.
Day 2 ~ 5th August 2011
It is such a blessing that as soon as I wide open my eyes, the sun was shinning beautifully .. Thanks to God so much for answering to my prayers :)
Well, guess wat.. it is USS day ... and again, thanks to my kiasu-ness, I bought the USS tix in Matta Fair early this year, and it saved us some $$ cos not long after I bought it, the price increased ... *phew* ....
We were there at about 10am, and it is already so crowded. Waste no time, we joined the crowd in snapping some photos before entering.
The 1st stop is at Hollywood street. Managed to catch a few characters such as Marilyn Monroe, Mr Frankenstein and Ms Woody Woodpecker ...
Moving on, it is Madagascar. We went for a boat ride, snap some photos and the next stop is Far Far Away. This is where we went for Donkey Live show and Shrek in 4D. After the Shrek in 4D show, we had a chance for photo session with Shrek and Princess Fiona !
Next, it is the Lost World, Ancient Egypt and Sci-Fi. We went for some rides in the Lost World ~ Canopy Flyer and Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, where we went through a thrilling river raft ride where you will get wet and even soaked. But, as a preventive action, we wore raincoat !
As evening is catching up, and there are Hollywood after Hours where it will be at 9pm, therefore, we went for our dinner first at Big Easy, RWS. As, it is also my birthday, so my little bro 'prepared' a small little cake for me :)
And, it was a real great day spent with all my loved ones and it ended with lovely and beautiful fireworks.
Day 3 ~ 6th August 2011
This is our final day in Singapore, which also means it is shopping day. Initial plan to go to Marina Bay to walk walk, but we are all too tired as for the past 2 days have been a tough walking day, hence, we decided to look from afar :)
After some photo shots under the hot hot sun, we went to shop around in Marina Square. As we loft around, I found that they are having their National day sales, where practically every outlets will be offering at least 15% discount. And, the damages done by me was .....
After having our lunch there, it is time for us to get back to the hotel to get our luggage and to get ready to the airport.
Something really remarkable for the day was that our initial flight at 7.10pm was cancelled due to technical problem and we need to wait till the following flight at 9.20pm.
Anyhow, we all had a great memorable trip to Singapore !
And, I am proud to say that I am the proud owner of a loving, fun, crazy and hilarious family... I love you all and thanks for giving me a truly memorable 30th birthday ! :)
