Singapore 2015 :Day 2 :)

Well, hello! Sorry for the long delay hahaha. I've been very busy last semester. Right now I'm having my semester break and it's already Ramadhan! Yep, how time flies. I wish we can to go to Singapore again :3

For the second day of our trip to Singapore, we went for sight-seeing. We only use public transport and which was very convenient in Singapore because the MRT station are easy to find. Besides, most of every stations are near to Singapore's popular landmark. On that day, we started at Aljunied's station which the nearest place from my uncle's office. From there, we took MRT to Bugis's station. There are different lines like the LRT lines in Malaysia, so we must change train at City Hall's station. For the tickets, there are machines just like what we have in Malaysia but we just have to keep one piece of ticket and you can top-up it at each of the station. It's like Touch-N-Go card lah haha.

When we reached the station, we have to walk in a bit to Kampong Glam. The area is a centre for Muslim activities and the Sultan Mosque remains a major landmark and congregation point for Singapore Muslims. It was already 11.50 am when we arrived, and I was very hungry at that time. There is a restaurant nearby, Zam Zam Restaurant which have the infamous Murtabak. At first we thought that it would be the normal murtabak that we had in Malaysia. Luckily Mahiro didnt order food too because the size of the murtabak was enough to feed for two maybe three people! I might say that the meal cost us less than what we had at USS.

After that early lunch, we took a stroll around the Kampong Glam area. Tips : there are a lot of souvenir you can found here and it was quite reasonable. Then, we went to Sultan Mosque for our Zohor prayers. It was very hot that day. Tips : MUST BRING WATER! DRINK ENOUGH WATER! DONT GET DEHYDRATED! 

Then I just had this idea to go to the museum (hehe). The National Museum of Singapore located near to Orchard Road. We took MRT again and yes, we must walk a bit. Remember to wear comfortable clothes cause you know you will be sweating under there :p

We arrived! Inside the museum was just like any other museum and yeah its awesome to be in air-conditioned place. We sat at one place and rest for a while and I think Mahiro had her nap there haha. 

We took a few maps there cause we didnt really know where to go next. After decided where to go, we went back to the MRT station. Sorry I didnt remember much of the names but dont fret, it is quite easy if you can read map. For a while, we kind of lost haha. We didnt know the easiest way to go to the Marina Bay. But we finally managed to reach there safely hahaha. To go to Marina Bay area, you must reached Bayfront station. The station also located near to Marina Bay Sands. There is an underground pathway to the Gardens By The Bay and again we must walk haha. It was tiring but hey, the view was amazing! Its picture time! 

As we promised my uncle that we must be at Aljunied's before 8, we must then move along to our next destination. To go to the Merlion Park, we can go to the Esplanade station. It will be quite confusing because you must follow the signs provided. You might lost but dont worry, you'll find it. And remember to drink water! It was about the end of the day, and I was very tired. But luckily, my memory didnt fail me so we reached there without getting lost. Pheww!

It was about 6 pm when we reached Merlion Park. The sun was ready to set and there were quite many people there. We can see tourists from different places. And again, picture time! It was very beautiful. Everyone could not miss the opportunity to take picture with Merlion as the background. Some were taking silly trick photo. The buildings reflected the Marina Bay Sands and there were many lights. The dusking sky was breath-taking. 

After that, we walk to the Esplanade, and saw a musical performance. They played Totoro and that made Mahiro very happy. It was already 8 at that time and we were very rushing. I cant imagine how my uncle was going to react! So after a long day, we reached Aljunied's about 8.30 pm and my uncle was already there. =.= 
Sorry for our lateness!

It was an awesome and tiring day! But I will surely go there again because there are a few places I never went to. I even told my friends that if they want to go to Singapore, they can go with me but not to USS please. It really cost me fortune because this time I was using my own money hahaha. Anyway, enjoy your trip to Singapore! Maybe next time if ada rezeki lebih, I will go to other countries. I only been to Singapore and Thailand. Yeah, maybe next time would be Thailand haha. One day :D

*thank you for your time*
