Singapore the sequel

DAY 2 - 21/4/2011

Day 2 was already booked for Universal Studio. Nisa bought the tickets online prior to our arrival and we were ecstatic! The ticket costs s$66 per person. Our journey was delayed because everyone slept so peacefully that no one woke up as planned. haha. We had breakfast at Wendy's situated right smacked at the entrance of Lavender's MRT.

In order to get to USS, one must first take the MRT to HarbourFront. You should be at the Vivo Shopping Mall when you alight from the MRT. Walk up to level 3 where the train heading to Sentosa Island is located. That train will cost you s$3. Make full use of your EZ Link card!

Oh! We had to queue for nearly an hour for the first ride and the ride took only 1 minute, we all had that talk and decided to upgrade to the Express Card which costs an additional s$30! It's very convenient because you don't have to queue, but you can only go on each ride once! If you want to go on the rides again, queue =p





USS's opening hours are subject to I don't know what time exactly because it changes according to their likings but when we were there, it was opened from 10am-7pm! Once there, queue up, present your pass and have fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun! 



Battlestar Galactica is a must try! EXTREME FUN!

Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure gets you drenched, bring spare clothing!
Inside, there are several halal makan places you can go to. They are marked on the map which makes it sooooo convenient. They also provide a prayer room for those who wish to pray! But you must take your wudu' at the toilet beforehand. 

We had lunch at Goldilocks, located at Far Far Away. They serve fast food mainly fried chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw and soft drinks. 
Combo #2 for s$9
After getting all hyped and nauseated from USS, we took off to Marina Bay where there would be a laser fountain display! It is on every day at 7pm and 9.30pm!



The MRT's last operating hour is at 11pm! Don't spend too long outside anywhere further than your lodging if you don't want to walk half a mile home =p


We arrived at the inn around 11pm and all of us were hungry. So after washing up, we headed out to Arab Street for supper. Arab Street is a 20 minutes stroll from our place. And it has quite a nightlife with people drinking, having late night snacks and shisha-ing. hehe.
Murtabak Singapore - s$8

DAY 3 - 22/4/2011

We had to check out at 12pm because Shazwan and I had to catch our flight home at 4.40pm. Nisa, Kaka and Lokhman took the bus home which was at 10pm. We were supposed to go home by bus as well but Shazwan had something up.


We had breakfast at Wendy's. I bought Mee Siam at the station's makan place for s$2 with an extra otak otak. hehe. Nisa and Kaka had Old Chang Kee's while Lokhman and Shazwan had Wendy's. 
Nisa Kaka and their free ice cream!

We took the MRT to Somerset and alighted at 313 @ Somerset, one of the many shopping malls along Orchard Road. But then it was already 1pm and Shazwan and I had to leave for Changi at 2pm! 

313 @ Somerset has a 4-storey Forever 21 store -_-'
  
Shazwan and I took the train from Somerset station up till Tanah Merah Interchange and from there, we took another MRT to Changi Airport. At the Changi station, we had to take a free shuttle bus to the budget terminal because we were flying home with Firefly. 

At the airport, don't forget to claim your Tourist's Tax Rebate thingy. There are also places to shop at in the departure lounge. So don't worry if you forgot to souvenir hunt back in the city! There is also a McDonalds and a cafe if you are hungry.
Alhamdulillah, I had an awesome experience in Singapore, USS especially. I wouldn't go back to the inn though. But I had fun!
