Singapore Trip [Jan 11-14th]

First Day

Whilst Glenna & Ning bunked over at my aunt's place, David stayed over at my place. Considering we only came back at 2 am after a long mamak session with Jane & Andy, we only had like 3 hours of rest before getting ready again. The coach was departing from their main office Bangsar, convienently located near my dad's office. We all were looking like zombies from the obvious lack of rest. Had breakfast at a mamak stall nearby (2 mamak sessions in less than 12 hours). We left at 730 am sharp (quite on time). I was quite amazed at how spacious and comfortable the seats in the coach was. Highly recommended. Only RM100 for a return ticket!!! Lookout for First Coach! P/S: Thanks Dad for dropping us there and the breakfast as well!!! Initially we were thinking of entertaining ourselves during the journey. But, alas...all of us decided it was better to visit dreamland instead. Hahahaha.



As we arrived in Singapore, we were greeted with wet showers. The coach stopped us at Novena Square and we took a MRT to stopped at Eunos Station. Lina, me & Glenna took a taxi to her place at Joo Chiat. Getting all our luggage into the boot under the heavy rain + groucy taxi driver didn't exactly make the situation any easier. Took us about 10-15 mins to get to the Tan's place. Ning & David actually arrived faster as they walked from the Kembangan MRT stop. We dropped our things and headed to Vivocity (Singapore's newest shopping centre). Rain was still as heavy and we met up with Alvin as well who joined us for dinner. We ate at this food court which had a concept that mirrors itself after the old Singapore eateries. After that, we explored more of Vivocity's artsy stuff and exhibitions. Pretty cool I must say.

Then, 5 of us decided to watch a movie at Golden Village (Singapore's largest cinema, 3 floors). The only movie whereby all of us could agreed on was the Queen. The movie was okie, great acting, interesting take on how the Royal family handled the death of Princess Diana. Still, gotta give kudos to David. The only one of us who didn't sleep at least once during the movie. A certain someone slept almost the whole duration of the movie. Hahahaha...When the show ended, it was almost 12 am and that's the time the last MRT departs. We were rushing and running endlessly to catch the last train. Exhilarating and yet exhausting. The trains was practically empty, but thank goodness we manage to catch it in time. Overall, a very tiring tiring, long day that was fun as well.





Next, Day 2...
