Last Day in Singapore

Last Day in Singapore was spent getting breakfast at a nice cafe in Ion Orchard Mall and then packing. The family was nice enough to lend us their driver and he drove us to the bus station. Walked around to meet another MoHo--Yulii who was studying in Singapore for a semester. Went inside the mall and had burger king before we boarded the bus back to Malaysia.

 
Almost like an airplane with the food and movies

After 5 hours on the bus that was equipped with its own television screen, decent movie/MV choices we finally reached Malaysia once again.

Singapore Day 3

The last full day in Singapore so we headed back to Chinatown to explore other areas we didn't hit up yet.  We found an awesome Buddhist temple that had about 5 floors and 2 floors in the basement for PARKING! It even had its own elevator and handicap lift... This was an insane temple because it also had its own library as well as museum!

After the temple, we hopped on the MRT to head for Little India and as soon as we got out of the MRT station, we headed for the food court! It was a mix between actual market that sold veggies and fruits as well as actual food stalls. We headed straight for biriyani and I ordered a lamb biriyani. It was a huge plate that even I didn't finish lol Since we were already there, I also ordered a mango lassi.

Walked around Little India before headed back home because I had to meet my cousin for dinner later that night. Rested for a bit and then headed out to my cousin's house and ate a home-cooked meal. After dinner and a few beers, my cousin drove me to see the night version of Marina Bay.

We parked and then got out to walk around. At Sands Marina Bay, there was a light show and we caught the ending part of the show. There were lights, music as well as bubbles and fog!

 

Impressive Light Show

After the tour, he was nice enough to drive me home and gave me a Buddhist amulet to protect me as well as parting gift.

Singapore Day 1

The first thing we did was to buy the MRT card for the 3 days we were going to be there so we did the fun pass and when we returned the card--we got back out SD10 deposit. After we got use to our surroundings, the place we lived at was only 5-10 mins walk away from the Botanic Gardens so we decided to walk around and explore. By the time we felt tired, we only did about 1/2 if even that much of the garden! This place was HUGE!! On top of that, it was burning HOT! I felt like I was melting!

Took some photos of the gardens as well as jumping photos.









After the garden, we went back to the house to swim for a bit before showering and waiting for Brittany my student to get out of school. Went out with the family to eat Mexican food and caught up with my students. 

Singapore Day 2

After waking up, we headed out to Chinatown to walk around as well as shop for some souvieners. Wound up taking photos of lanterns cause it was still around the time of mid-autumn festival. After walking around in the baking sun, we settled down at a prata cafe shop and had something to prata to nibble on. They were having a commercial filmed during the time we were there so it was very busy. The boss lady gave me a sample of durian prata which was awesome because it was durian lol Noah didn't like it as much though.

After re-fueling, we headed down to Marina Bay to enjoy the breeze as well as taking photos. Headed towards the Merlion and sat there to rest and take in the scenery. Sands Marina Bay was right across the river and little duck boats kept coming around the merlion steps.

Oh yeah, those are my weights! I work out!

I was suppose to meet Shuyao for dinner, so we headed back down to Chinatown to get some yummy food at the night food market. It was nice to catch up with a moho :)
