#SINGAPORE : Day 1

Yayyy! It's finally Saturday, and it's a good thing to say is that I finally have no more Saturday blues lol. (aka have to go to school on Saturday). Anyway, just came back from my driving lesson, and the blogging feeling is coming to me again. Haha, so yes I'm gonna blog about the Singapore trip with my friends which just passed 2 weeks ago!

Basically, we didn't really made "plans" for this entire trip. We took First Coach bus to Singapore, because apparently parents are worried about the massive amount of aviation accidents that happened last year. Anyway, I would say the bus is really good and it's super duper cold inside! Too bad the TV isn't working, or is it just me...

 6th January 2015 (Tuesday)


It's the first time for 4 of us to go travel overseas without our parents! 
Although Singapore is so near to Malaysia, 
but one of my bucket list is granted and I'm really delighted to travel with my friends! 


We reached Singapore at around noon, and we straightly went to our hostel which is: RuckSack Inn Hostel. It was located in Chinatown, it's really convenient cuz it's really near to the Chinatown station!

Then, after unloading our luggages, we went to have lunch at somewhere nearby our hostel.

 Chinatown which has China feels.



We ordered this pork noodles which is quite yummy! 

And it comes with a dessert cuz it's set lunch! :D


Then, we started our journey by taking the MRT! :D 



So we decided to go to Marina Bay Sands, but we found out that the sky park needed an entry ticket which costed quite a bomb. So, we decided to just leave MBS and head to Marina Square! Marina Square is a shopping centre really near to MBS, but too bad it was raining cats and dogs that day. So we had to take a taxi to Marina Square.

The taxi drivers in SG is really friendly, and they don't con your money lolol. It's one of the best thing I've experienced in SG!




We went to Starbucks cuz we needed some wifi hahaha! We took this opportunity to kinda do some extra research for where to go in SG, but sadly... we didn't haha! So we just took our time to stroll around the building, and since it's raining heavily outside, we can't do any outdoor activities too.



After some time, we went to Bugis Street to do some shopping! Although we didn't bought any clothes lolol, probably we were too exhausted, but at least we've been there! Hahaha. There's a variety of clothes and food selling in Bugis Street. Definitely a place for youngsters and teens.

 It was STILL raining :/ 

typical tourist pose in the middle of the crowd lolll


Alright, so this is the end of Day 1! Lol, didn't realise it was this short. But basically on the first day we didn't really had much of fun cuz we were kinda uncertain where to explore. We had McDonalds for dinner by the way, lol. Apparently fast foods in SG is the cheapest hahaha, it only costed around $5 to $6.

Day 2 will be slightly longer I guess, since we had a lot of fun and took loads of pictures cuz we were at Universal Studios Singapore! So stay tuned! And to cure your boredom of this post, I've made a travel video for my SG trip and please please watch it and let me know how was it haha!

*Please excuse me cuz the videos are so shaky, will try to improve more in the future :D

And yeah I had to upload it on Dailymotion cuz the stupid YouTube blocked my videos cuz of the audio copyrights! Sigh T_T Anyway, enjoy the video! :D

#PENANG 2.0: Toys Cafe, Beach


On the 3rd day of our class trip, we went to have dimsum for breakfast! Cuz the one we wanna go to was closed so yeh... The food was okay okay only, not that yummy :o Other than dimsum, they have other food like mee and such. typical Malaysian food.



After that, we went to one of Penang's cafe. We wanted to go to Selfie Cafe at first, but cuz of the amount of people we have is too much and that they don't have enough space for us lol :3 So we ditched the cafe and went to another cafe instead - Toys Cafe.




The cafe itself is toys themed, as how it name works. They have 2 floors in total, upstairs they're selling those toys models and some t-shirts or merchandises. Too bad I'm not quite a toys fans, or else this place will be insanely awesome for me!


Below are some of the coffee arts that we've ordered that day! You can tell the person which cartoon is your favourite, and he'll try his best to draw the best for you. Hahaa! Quite awesome :D





And this was mine! :p

This freaking huge rilakkuma caught my attention!! 
Too huge and cute to not hug it and take a picture D: 
omg I want one toooo.. 

you know, just doing our thang...

Anddd, a group photo with the boss of the shop! 
Thanks for having us! ;)


After some time in the cafe, we headed to our next destination, that is the Batu Ferringhi beach! Omg, this place gave me the best and worst memories.


hahahahaha guess what they are doing!!!


......yep

And a while later, this happened, lol




This was like the “must do” thing when you're at the beach with your friends heh.



i love group photos 



i love group photos 2 hahaha 
but cheauwen wasn't in the photo cuz she was rather sick that time ;(

 girls ❤ without cheauwen ;/


6J again without chinling this time hahaha
ps: the wind was freaking strong


After some relaxing time at the beach, we went to have our dinner at Bora Bora by Sunset! It was located just beside the beach, so quite got feel lah. Although it was almost dark that time, lolol



nice place to get drunk, but i don't drink. lol


Anyway, this was what I've eaten that day. 
fish and chips, typical :p

 it was not bad but sadly i can't finish it! 
I actually have a small appetite ;p





After our dinner, as the usual tradition, we went to wrote our wishes on the lanterns!



 I wrote my wishes on the same lantern with Callie! ;)
Hope our wishes come true, heheheh


And lastly, group photos of us! :D




Yay, it's finally the end of my Penang blog posts. Probably not gonna write anymore blog posts bout Penang in the future cuz I've written so much haha! These days being with you guys are freaking fun and it'll be one of the best memories I've ever had in my life! :) Although we've all started our 2015 separately, but I sincerely hope we could keep in touch.. I know it's gonna be hard but yeaah, anything is possible! Hahaha.

I've started my college for a week and it's all bout orientation and integration activities. I would say it's an extraordinary experience for me cuz I have to communicate in English all the time! I guess the biggest challenge for me is to speak in English cuz in college right now, English is the first language. I really hope I can cope up with that soon, like real soon. Heard a counselor said that actually language is also a barrier for us to speak up in a new environment. I had to agree lol, cuz that's what I'm currently facing right now.

Classes are going to start officially next week. 2015 year will be a year full of hardships, hard work and hopefully good things will happen this year :) good luck and all the best everyone x
