Singapore Part II - Bugis Street, Marina Bay, Merlion Park & Orchard Road

Here comes my Singapore Trip Part 2! Read my part I here if you haven't - http://emmz-s.blogspot.com/2014/01/singapore-part-i-sentosa-island.html :) It was an impromptu one day road trip and actually it was also my first time to our neighbour country, I'll always choose Thailand over Singapore cause I'll get to practice my rusty Thai language which I got no one to practice to! :p 

After Sentosa Island and lunch, we went to several other famous attractions to jalan-jalan. 

1. BUGIS STREET

Had lunch at the biggest food court in Bugis Street, so crowded and we were having hard time finding seats but all the food turned out meh. Not nice!!! Malaysian street food taste better :)

So crowded during even during lunch hour, under scorching hot sun! It was just like Petaling Street for me, nothing special.

Didn't buy anything haha just wanna take some touristy shot. 

Touristy shot #2 :p

2. MARINA BAY

Went for a walk outside the shopping mall instead, no one has the shopping mode cause it was kinda rush for us to go so many places in one day. 

Nice view, guess it would be nicer with the lights on during night time.

Love taking candid shot of their funny acts. :p

A proper one. :)

3. MERLION PARK

Merlion park is just opposite to Marina Bay, across the river. One of our friends suggested: "Eh let's walk to Orchard Road, it's just at the opposite". Everyone was like "WHATTTT?!?!?!?", and one of us replied: "why don't just swim, faster what". Haha I guess this is what friends for, a dose of laughter. :) 

Sadly it was already gloomy when we just arrived at Merlion Park ☹ , but I have to take pictures of this signature lion head!!! After few shots dahhhhh, the sky turned really dark and it started raining. We were here for like 10-15 mins...ishhhhhh.


4. ORCHARD ROAD

We ended our day with all the beautiful Christmas Decorations in Orchard Road! Their decorations has very high ranking in the world record in the year of 2013, it's one of the top 10 if not I'm mistaken. We were making the right choice to visit the X'mas-y Singapore! 

I'm amazed for my photography skill, tell me this is nice!

Love this shot cause can you see the ' HALO' above my head? What an angelic shot ♥

A little awakward pose cause everyone wanted to take a pic of this X'mas tree. We were like jumped in and shoot for this pic. =.=

This X'mas tree is pretty too!

See the "hair"? Oh my god it was really amazing!!!

One giant X'mas tree which has a 'door'

A hardly-captured dreamy pose of me in front of the 'entrance' of this big X'mas tree. Everyone was walking in and out.

The "inside'' of the tree, the colour of light changed. Why don't we have all these in Malaysia?????

A last touristy shot of me to end the long, tiring but fun day! :)

Singapore Part I - Sentosa Island

This Singapore trip was consider last minute decision with my friends...and it was a road trip!!!! I am pretty amazed by myself the total amount I spent for this trip, a lot lower than what I expected we would spent LOL! Can I call myself a budget traveller? :p :p 

So 4 days before 2013 end, we woke up before dawn and headed to JB for a quick breakfast before entering to the custom check point. We wished to celebrate our X'mas there too but it's so so so damn hard to take leave that last minute for all 5 of us, but we were still feeling festive as that was between Christmas and New Year hehehe....

Our first stop - SENTOSA ISLAND .

We arrived there at about ten in the morning...and luckily the weather was still quite okay :)

We saw this beach tram while we were walking...hopped in was what we did!

No editing for this pic (taken from Samsung Note 3 with beauty camera)

The first beach we passed by was Siloso Beach.

It was a relaxing time by the beach, we walked, we talked, we laughed, and we smiled in front of the camera, the feeling was so great spending the quality time with friends :)

Love this shot thanks to the cameraboyfriend xd 

We then walked to Palawan Beach, my aim was to find the drawbridge :)

My first experience on the suspension bridge! Pretty scary!!!

The boyf and David.

Wonder how could they stand still so calmly????

Actually I felt a little dizzy..... =.=

We then went up the arbour for some photos. 

The drawbridge is quite long!!!!! 

First selca of the day with the drawbridge :)

The Palawan Beach. 

那些年？

Aww I should bring my swim suit!!!!!

The activity that we didn't try. Looks fun though!

Group shot!!!

We then took the free train from Beach Station to Waterfront Station.

Lake of dreams - feeling dreamy.

Wish all my dreams come true!! :D

CNY decoration near the lake.

Went in the Casino for like 15 mins just to enjoy the air-conditioning!!! 

Last pic before leaving Sentosa Island!
