2013 | Singapore & Malaysia|First timer, baby!
WARNING:
Long post aheaaaaad!!!
Finally,
after a week, I finally reserved this day to blog. I have been very busy at
work these past few days so I haven’t got the chance to do so. So here I am, trying
my best to make this entry as interesting as possible.
Exactly last
week, I, together with my fellow Burnetters (LB employees) went to Singapore
for our annual company trip. The perks of being employed, you gotta chance to
go out of town or out of the country, with all expense paid! Love it!
Trivia:
That’s actually my first time to ride a plane and go outside the country. Whoo!
I’m always inlove with firsts!
Having said
that that’s my first time in plane, I couldn’t help but to feel excited as we
board in the plane and waited for it to take off. I wouldn’t mind being groggy
because I’ve been sleepless for more than 48hours. Well I guess my plane
experience goes to a separate entry. Haha!
We reached
Changi Airport (Singapore Airport) around 9am. Upon arrival, we immediately
start our on the spot itinerary and plan on where to go on our first day. Let
the adventure begin!!!!
We first
went to Ang Mo Kio to meet Ms. Babes’ friend. Instant tour guide, ayos! Haha!
There, we started to explore the entire Ang Mo Kio and shop and shop and shop.
Shopping at day 1 is good! Terribly good! I was able to buy lots of chocolates,
perfumes and some shirts. It was late afternoon when we reached Orchard Hotel
(our instant home in SG). After taking a bath, I join some of the co-workers to
meet their friend, Ms. Riza,at Vivo City, sponsored Dinner, babbbbbyyyyy!!!!
‘Twas past 12 when we reached OH. Quota sa day 1!
What’s good
in SG is that you’ll still feel safe wherever you are. People are actively
awake and having parties or shopping even at night. Annnnd!!! Public
transportation is good. The bullet train is the most accessible public means of
transportation. Bullet kung bullet, ang bilis!
Let’s work
it on Day 2!!!
We woke up
as early as 6am to make our Day 2 more productive than day 1. We went to Lego
Land Malaysia for our side trip. It’s a newly opened amusement park in
Malaysia. A theme park made of legoooossssss!!!! Here are some of the pictures:

Wasn’t able
to take a good shot from our cam, so forgive me for this googled photos.
Dontchaworry, credits are mentioned. J
We also went
to the main mall and visited the sky garden where we watched the water show at
the bay. Damn, sky garden is such a romantic place to have a date. Sweet! From
the garden, you can see the entire city. Lights are everywhere that makes it
more romantic!
Day 3 is
Universal Studios day!
I haven’t
got the chance to try all the rides and show in Universal. USS is jam-packed
that time, so falling in line is really time consuming. Good thing I was able
to ride one of the most recommended rides, the Transformers Ride! Maaaaaan, the
experience is really awesome!!!! Aside from the Transformers Ride, I also
experienced their Jurassic Water Park. Coool!
After the
Universal Studios visit, we also explore Sentosa and Resorts World. Right after
the company dinner, we headed to Lucky Plaza for the last minute shopping.
Quota na talaga!!!
The
following day, lunch time was my scheduled flight back to Philippines. Oh, how
I miss home!
The total
experience is fun and tiring. But I enjoyed a lot! Another experience comes
with new memories. Another first and more firsts to go! The next time I’ll be
back to SG, I wanted it to be with my family, friends or Kevin. I still have
lots of places to visit. It’ll be the best when I’m with my loved ones.
