Singapore Part 6 - Balik

              so..this gonna be my last post about the "so"-adventure trip..hahah..a short trip but indeed a long post kan? mengada ngada uols!

                  so after keluar dari USS, i decided untuk membuat haluan kiri and my fren membuat haluan kanan..remember yang semalam i tak dapat nak beli apa apa souvenir kat mustafa center?? haaaa, sebab tu la i nak kena pegi CHINATOWN balik, nak beli souvenir untuk kawan kawan and office-mate...because yang lain tak nak pegi, so kena la pegi sorang sorang...berani tak?? alamak, apa der hal...singapore je kot...dulu masa i kat Taiwan pun pernah jugak..nobody speak english...and the signboards are all in bahasa china..boleh je sampai hotel sorang sorang..jauh tuh! heheh...kami janji nak berjumpa pukul 7 di hostel sebelum berangkat balik ke M'sia..

              so, i pun pegi la chinatown..i think there's no need to repeat the same old story of chinatown la kan? its the same thing..i bought two " I LOVE SG" t-shirt..for $10 each walaupun takde la love sangat...daaaa..i bought key chains and of course, fridge magnets for frens in office ...and i even bought a plate plug for $10..yang nih puas kena nego..just imagine a plate cost you RM25..wouldnt that be so expensive?? hmm?
so, more or less, its the same thing as what other tourist bought..tapi at least it is a better option..tak nak la beli cheongsam, kipas kipas bagai..malaysia ada banyak lah benda tuh..lain la kalau MAT SALEH..they probably would find it interesting la kot..they didnt have those, back at their country..=))

masa shopping kat chinatown tuh, hati rasa tak seronok..shopping in rushing mode mana la best..ada lagi souvenir yang tak sempat beli, tapi masa tinggal 15 minutes before 7pm..sure my fren tengah tunggu kat hostel..and dengan tak semena mena pulak i sakit perut!! demnnnnn....perut kosong, pegi bantai coke masa kat USS sapa suruh! owh no..where should i go??? where is the nearest ladies??  tetiba terfikir masjid! tink! straight away i pegi masjid..sila jangan tiru aksi buruk perilaku dan terlarang ini di mana mana..this is an emergency case...hehe..AND here it comes the surprised part...masjid nampak sangat la lama and seni bina agak kusam, but let me tell you something, tandas masjid tuh serious macam tandas 5 stars hotel..sumpah cantik and bersih and blink blink...terkejut mak! i was impressed...susah nak jumpa tandas blink blink mcm nih at malaysia..(part tandas pun i nak story kan?? ape la)

after selesai semua urusan membeli belah, i tengok jam dah menunjukkan pukul 7.10pm...owh, ini dah lambat...gaya pun dah mcam orang giler berjalan..nak tak nak kena la berlari lari anak ke train and terus ke hostel...bila sampai lobby hostel, miji and zati takde????!!..only dylla and ochai je..rupanya mereka berdua pegi beli mcd kat city square mall..aku punya la lari dah mcm orang giler sakai nak balik hostel, dengan siap drama botol jatuh tergolek-golek kat tengah tengah jalan waktu sedang melintas, last last tengok diorang takde...sabor je la...(-_-)!

bila semua orang dah gather, kami pun berjalan keluar ke mrt nak balik ke woodlands..kejar masa bagai ini semua ini pasal ticket tourist yang i cakap kat uols suruh beli tuh, kena pulangkan ke stesen ang mo kio before 9 pm..kalau tak, konfem terlepas refund $10...simply nak bagi my $10 to them?? no no..kami redeem duit di ang mo kio station and terus naik train semula ke woodlands..we kinda blur at that time sebab we didnt even plan to go back through woodlands tapi ntah kenapa since the sg checkpoint pun dah namanya woodlands checkpoint, so mesti la ada bas straight from mrt woodlands to the chekpoint kan...we all tanya the train service..and luckily its true!!! dia suruh naik bus ---(which i cant remember) to go back to msia..hoyeah..senang hati..tak payah naik kat kranji mrt..so bila train sampai, we all terus duduk atas lantai...tak de seat bai...sebabkan esok labour day, ramai giler orang naik train...takkan la tak nak duduk sedangkan kaki dah bengkak semangkuk!

              dari woodland kami naik bus no berapa i tak ingat..cubala tanya orang orang kat woodlands..bus terus bawa ke woodland checkpoint..beg i berat giler..i tak larat nak kejar crowd yang berlari 100m/s untuk sampai checkpoint..even kat JB checkpoint pun i dah jalan macam manusia kurang siuman, melayang layang sorang sorang dengan bag yang besar..hell oooo!!..all of sudden, ada pak cik sorang nih, berdiri kat belakang i masa kami turun escalator kat JB central..dia try nak melawak antrabangsa dengan i..dia berbasi basi sambil kata "amboi besarnya bag..bag lagi besar dari empunya bag!! hahah"..dia gelak setan..dalam hati, menyebok betul la..dia tanya, "kawan kawan tumpang letak barang dalam bag awak ke?? kesian!!" ...dalam ati rasa mcm nak hempap je dia dengan bag berat nih..haih pak cik, kalau nak tolong tuh cakap la nak tolong..

               sampai exit JB central, straight away kami ambil teksi ke Zen Zeng Hotel..kami kan park kereta kat sana..so malam ni kami kena drive ke Kulai Jaya la pula untuk tdow di sana..the reason why we choose to stay in kulai jaya is because it is near to JPO..JPO?? never heard of that? takpe...i story nnti..

                 NOW that we need to eat..we were so hungry..makanan untuk hari itu hanyala smuggled roti dari hostel tadi..miji suggest to go to singgah selalu restaurant...i never know that is is among the famous place to dine in sampai la bila we arrived..ramai giler orang..and sisha pun ramai jugak..hehe..the menu basically is the same as other seafood restaurant..sedap tak sedap i tak tahu..but i believe mestilah sedap..kalau tak, takkan seramai itu manusia..and i balik balik order menu yang sama, tom yam, telur dadar and nasi putih..otak jem nak pikir panjang panjang.ambil je la order tuh abang! 

       kami makan cepat cepat and naik kereta terus pecut ke kulai jaya..i think, driving took about 1 hour..tambah dengan sesat bagai..anyway, tempat dia tak la susah nak cari..malam tu, kami stay di City Star HOTEL..hotel RM65/nite..so bahagikan per pax berapa..selesai je check in, semua kena pantas..i gerak paling pantas..naik tangga pantas..buka pintu pantas..cari baju tdow pantas..mandi pantas..pakai stoking pantas..pakai sweater pantas..tarik selimut pantas..krohhhh kroohhhhh kriiihhhh pun pantas...hahahaha

Singapore Trip Part 5 - USS

continue..continue...
Its monday uols and its time for Universal Studio..horaayyyy...everybody just cant wait..even i cant..
we woke up a little bit late, 8 am because we know that USS will open at 10..thus kita chillax dulu..my fren kata dia tak boleh tdow sebab hujan lebat giler..hujan?? sumpah tak dengar apa apa..penat sangat kot..
pagi tuh, sorang demi sorang bangun dari katil..kami kena take turn untuk mandi sebab kami share toilet dengan backpackers lain..dalam waktu menunggu, sekali lagi hobby yang baru kami kongsi iaitu feet massaging kembali..masing masing memasang "kekuda" untuk berjalan dengan penuh ceria di USS..termasuk la i..habes ointment..semua guna untuk sapu kat kaki walaupun ointment i tuh untuk sakit perut..heheh
selesai mandi, kami bersiap untuk breakfast..the Hive hostel provides breakfast for every backpacker..i think semua backpacker hostel kat Sg sediakan breakfast..so, no worry la.. for breakfast hanya ada bread with jam and cereal..sungguh tak banyak choices and tak menyelerakan..cuba sekali sekala letak nasi lemak, konfem kami terkinja kinja turun awal..owh, minah cerewet, just shut up and eat! so gambar di bawah menunjukkan kawasan atau suasana hostel yang kami stay...nice kan?

the second lobby..this is somehow at another building..
err, nampak tak roti chocolate raisin gardenia tu? roti tu travel dari M'sia and kembali semula ke M'sia tanpa luak sekeping pun..kesian..

  above is my 50L..it does look slim but lets compare the size with the cushion size..aha? catch the idea of how big and heavy it is?! (#_#)

and this is our room namely Maple..just nice..tapi, mcm penjara pun ada kan? haha

 abadikan kenangan terindah di sg..siap panjat kerusi sebab nak capai board atas..last last nnti orang lain overshadow kami! cettt!

tadaaaaaa...itu lah hasilnya!.. =P 

The Hive Entrance..sempat ambil gambar before gi USS..rindu tempat nih soon..

seperti biasa, we left our bag at the hostel lobby and we promised to come back and pick up our bag around 6pm..the owner yang memang sempoi giler and hensem tahap cipan permit us for leaving our bag at the lobby..fuhh...terasa senang giler nak berjalan..tak payah nak bawa bag 50L tuh masuk USS..buat compress tulang abdomen je!
kami pun naik trean ke habour front..kali ini kami tak perlu tukar train.train dari hostel direct ke habour front..station habour front tapi city, vivo city..again, it is a shopping mall..and i heard that there are halal food everywhere in vivo city..so let say u need a brunch before entering USS, boleh la drop by kat sini..kami tak nak la berhenti breakfast lagi because baru je breakfast..plus kami dah pun seludup roti and jem at hostel tadi...and then bila tengok crowd yang wayyyy ramai, we feel the urgency to enter USS asap..tak nak la beratur panjang2..belum pape dah beratur tahap z..

once dah sampai ke vivo city, kami terus naik ke tingkat paling atas untuk naik monorail..monorail akan membawa kami masuk ke sentosa island..it will cross over the port..monorail cost $3..cramped giler..semua orang dah tak peduli nasihat Phua Chu Kang supaya beratur sebelum masuk train..dalam hal ini, kita kena main game rugby rempuh ye...

there are 4 stations for you to take, touring around sentosa island..

crossing over the port..just about 3 minutes and you will arrive at the first station (the USS station) 

And below are the pictures of my goooood-greattt time in USS=))

the Baverly Hills garage, where you can get a stroller/wheelchair for baby/handicapped..

the best sisters award, the best boyfriend and girlfriend award and the best grandmother award off all time!!!

at the ancient Egypt..seriously the Firaun-looking man scared me!! demn you! 

the transformer..we wait 2 hours like hell to get in and it's really paid off!!! best giler..i top-rated transformer amongst all games i've tried...

the dinasour land...you will totally get soaked!! we are awesome, so we dont buy raincoat..=)

the fairy tale land where i met my giant-ugly-but-cute-bf...The Shrek with 4-D movies..

Madagascar! marthy and gloria are my fav char..look, i'm holding the big belly of gloria!
so cute.. 

and last but not least, time to portray ourselves at the entrance before we return..

USS is a syiiiookkk place to go..but somehow, ia tak sesuai untuk golongan yang tua (amek kau! perkataan tua terus) untuk mencuba nasib bermain, unless kalau orang tua itu masih berkudrat..be careful for pregnant mother because warnings for you are everywhere..heheh...and on top of that, please be ready to wait for a looooooooooonnngggggg queue...the fastest queue we got so far is 20 minutes waiting time..kalau u rushing atau kejar masa, maka lupakan lah segala hajat nak bermain game/ride yang best best yang ada di USS..even kami yang terpacak dari pukul 10 pun terlepas banyak ride.. (-_-)!.....BUT, you can absolutely takes all the ride if you buy the expressway ticket..i'm not sure how expensive it is but as far as i buat research, kalau u nak beli ticket tu, agak terasa la jugak kemahalan ticket tersebut! its totally up to your pocket status..me?? no no no...

so about 6 pm, we all pun meninggalkan USS..dah la panjang beratur untuk naik ride, nak naik train balik pun kena beratur panjang!!hahaha... apa boleh buat..dah datang, takkan tak nak balik?
hmmm,,sekarang USS semakin popular.. i guess, berduyun duyun manusia dari serata ceruk dunia akan datang...to all of you who planned to be there, plan your trip well so that you can avoid the cramping crowd! =)) have a nice trip and good luck for the passionate-lovely long queue...=P

Singapore Trip Part 4

so, china town ended our day story session..now lets continue with nigth life time..abra kadabra...phewwww..
actually, before we went to singapore, we had purchased a group ticket from GROUPON..masa tuh ada promotion untuk ke USS dan hippo cruising..RM210 per coupon..ia boleh di katakan murah la jugak sebab masuk USS ticket je biasanya ticket price exceed RM150..dengan berhubung hanya melalui facebook, kami semua berpakat membeli ticket tersebut...kami memang sengaja plan nak naik hippo malam sebab pemandangan singapore kalau malam lagi cantik...tapi sumpah tak tahu hippo tuh berendam kat mana..after surveyed and asking around, the hippo is confirmly situated at CLARK QUAY...sebenarnya dari orchard road tadi, kami dah pun pass by clark quay station..so, ini kira buat pusing balik la..takpe, kalau reason sebab tak tahu, its valid!

kami nampak jambatan tapi kami tak nampak hippo masa keluar dari station..tetiba ada ketua rombongan pelancong dari negara China jerit jerit "IPOH Cruise! IPOH Cruise! " wah!! bukan main besar kami pasang telinga..itu adalah kata kata hikmah! .hahaha, apa lagi, kami pun follow senyap senyap rombongan tu..rupa rupanya, dia bawa kami ke tepi clark quay...masa nih, agak agak dah pandai, kami pun tinggalkan la rombongan cik jenab tuh...
seriously, cantik giler clark quay..tempat nih sebenarnya popular sebab ada bar, club, pelbagai jenis japanesse restaurant, hotel and many more..ala ala The Mines but 10X better...tak payah tergerak hati nak cari makanan halal kat sini ye, memang takkan ada..so kami berjalan and berjalan , crossed over river and arrived at the hippo cruise bay which is at the other side of the train station...we lined up and off we went on the cruise..

 this is the clark quay..a wonderful feeling of romanticism suddenly arouse...

thats the bridge everyone has to crossed over to get to the giant hippo =P

on the cruise along the river side.. nice huh?? 

the pub, the club, the cafe the wat-u-name-it-lah..do you know what are those trusses for?

it is an extreme swing g-max reverse bungy!! truly an extreme death and truly insane..i rasa i boleh mati sakit jantung kat atas tu sorang sorang! demn..never will i try this..

on the cruise mode : cruise bawa kami berjalan jalan ke sekitar sungai..while cruising , ada la brief explaination tentang building's surround..sungguh ku tak amik port..ku hanya perhatikan pemandangan yang sungguh masyuk dengan khusyuk..for a fact, the hippo cruise actually akan berhenti di beberapa pit stop untuk bagi laluan kepada pengunjung mengambil gambr..

it was amazing, wasnt it? i am captivated and spelled by the beauuuuutifullll scene..

a lovely small city..really..

 as far as i know, it is amongst 5 luxurious hotel in singapore..i boleh je tidur kat hotel tuh, tapi tidur kat luar la..bweekkkk..hahahah

 
so when the cruise stop for a moment to give away precious minutes for tourist to pictorialise themselves , ntah bagaimana, tiba tiba kami pula decide untuk drop at the river side..orang yang manouver cruise terkejut..haha..he remind us that there should be no turning back..once dah turun, tak boleh naik lagi..bila dia cakap mcm tuh, kami pun sedikit bercelaru...nak turun ke tak? cruise tuh supposed to be 30 minutes ride,..kami baru naik 10 minute..hmm...last last dengan menggunakan otak genius yang dah nak hampir malap, we decided to turun..sebab utama ialah kesuntukan masa..kami belom melawat  cik lion-keluar-air-dari-mulut lagi..kedua, kami kesuntukkan masa untuk kejar train station yang bakal tutup pukul 11.00.. ketiga, kami kena balik ke hostel sebelum pukul 12 sebab ingat tak? kami belom check in hostel lagi...and yang ke empat, sebab paling munasabah adalah kami dah tak larat nak berjalan balik dari cruise depo to the train station..owh no..no no..

so, bila sudah turun dari cruise, we walk along the riverside again..but this time, we headed to merlion and marina bay!! horayyy...its time to show off to the people out there that we've been to singapore..the legendary statue of singapore..the symbolization of singapore..the me and the lion patung!! vat??!!  =P (puak jakun sudah mari! )

 
you see the crowd..they also belong to my puak u know!.. =)

the esplanade..only then i know that it is actually an ART Performing Center for Singapore


marina bay...wahh...selama nih tengok dalam gambar bagai, kali nih, depan mata live!..fuhhh...puas hati..siap ada laser show lagi malam kami dtg..terima kasih la cik kiah and pak mail yang ada kat atas bangunan tuh, sebab sambut kami dengan meriah..har har har..

 thank god kami tak amik package eye on sg waktu purchase ticket via groupon..sapa yang larat nak pegi sana la agaknya??

dah ambil gambar puas giler, kami pun balik..its almost 10.30 pm...one hour and half left before reception counter hostel closed..we rush to the esplanade station untuk balik..pics below is when we were in the esplanade..did you grab any "art-sy" things that they try to deliver?? i cant! i was so tired that i could see a rags hanging onto a wooden stick..hahaha..

 flat..battery semua low..no food and drink since lunch.. fuhh

 even so! hahahah..
  my suggestion, my recommendation and my advise is that, if you didnt plan to walk for another 1km to reach the train rail, please do not proceed to take this station..because, walaupun the train station is under the esplanade center, but seriously i tak tahu la berapa petala bumi yang kami dah masuk untuk sampai ke train station bawah esplanade ini..sekejap naik escalator..sekejap turun..naik naik naik..and tetiba kena turun turun turun..and then kena jalan 500 meter, belok kiri kanan..pusing pusing, baru la nampak train rail...sumpah tak tipu, jauh giler bangang!!!    i jarang cakap bangang, tapi kalau i dah cakap bangang kat sini, maknanya memang jauh..sebijik macam lubang tikus/rumah tikus yang kaya raya..haihhh

dalam train, everybody put themselves in silent mode..sumpah penat..when we were emotionally hype, everything is sweet like popcorn..tapi bila dah penat, semua busuk!  busuk??? ye cik cun and abang hensem..seharian kami tak mandi..paham paham je la..abang-galah lagi wangi dari kitorang..

kami turun di Farrer Park station..sebab kami nak pegi the city square mall untuk makan malam..pukul 11, mana la ada kedai makanan yang buka..pak guard mall pun dah kunci pintu grill...but then, kami nampak mcd..itu pun dah cleaning session..tapi ada la satu dua customer....so what we did? we planned to ngorat pak guard tuh..si miji buat buat sedih kata kitorang lapar, seharian tak makan..yang gegurl semuadah senyum senyum mcm kambing gatal..last last, pak guard termakan seduction kami..dia allowed kami masuk mall..tapi dia kata, keluar pakai pintu lain..tak pe..itu beres...hoyeah.dapat makan mcd..mcd di sg halal ya tuan tuan dan puan puan..kitorang mkn cepat cepat and naik train semula ke next station, mrt boon keng station..pagi tadi kami boleh je jalan dari hostel ke city square, tapi bila dah malam, nak jalan balik ke hostel rasa mcm jauhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sgt...owh no!

sesampai je mrt boon keng, kitoang tersalah ambil exit..ada tiga exit..A,B, and C..those exit lead to a different place..we supposed to go to exit C,  ntah kenapa, otak dah malap, kami terambil exit A and B..demn..setiap kali keluar dari bawah tanah je, semua orang tercengang cengang..eh, this isnt supposed to be our EXIt..then turun underground balik, masuk exit B..the same thing happend..oh God, kali nih kaki rasa mcm nak tercabut je..kalau boleh cabut and pasang balik, i rasa macam nak baling je kaki ini biar sampai ke hostel dulu..hahahah..just imagine! time shown 11.45pm..dah takde orang pun kat train..i tak peduli apa orang nak kata..i pun buka la kasut and jalan barefooted sepanjang di bawah tanah..huk huk huk.dear fren, please be sure on the route you supposed to take ok! mesej ini di bawakan khas dari kami =)

otw balik ke hostel..

so bila sampai ke hostel, kami masuk ke bilik masing masing and mandi..dylla like a "kong" battery..straight away tdow..tak tukar baju atau apa apa pun..me, zati and ochai took turn to shower..while waiting and massaging our feet, tetiba kami bercadang nak ke MUSTAFAR CENTER!! sungguh tak sedar diri dah penat...tadi konon nak nangis kepenatan! bengong! haha

tahu tak mustafa center tuh apa? mustafa center tuh adalah shopping mall / warehouse untuk barang barangan import dari luar negara yang di buka 24 hours a day!! kiranya ini shopping mall paling rajin la..operation wise non-stop..ia seakan akan mydin..tapi kalau mydin jual barang2 dari malaysia atau china, di mustafa center, chocolate, biskut, baju, t shirt, bag, pinggan mangkuk and semua branded items are originally imported from oversea, especially UK..station paling dekat untuk ke sini adalah farrer park station..alah, station yang dekat dengan city square mall tuh..dalam sehari dah 4 kali kot kami berjalan ke tempat yang sama..haha..ada 2 warehouses nearby the station, tapi i cant tell you where is the other one...i pergi yang jauh punya..anyway!

 take note ye my valued reader, the best things to shop in mustafa center adalah perfumes..true as what my cousin said, perfume dia murah murah..sila la shopping perfume di sini..example, Lancome berapa liter i tak sure tapi size yang besar sekali hanya $79 dollar..itu murah ok..

because of we (except for dylla) wanted to fully utilized our precious time in singapore, we decided to go to mustafa at 2 am in the morning,,,yup!! we went shopping in the morninggg and ktorang pegi mall tu pakai baju tdow je..kelasssss x?? terasa diri ini mcm clown cuma takde payment je..pakai seluar merah polka dot putih, tudung kelabu asap, baju pink, cardigan biru and selipar jamban..bersepah color block aku..tapi, ada aku kesahhh?? hahah.. 2 am jalan kat serangoon road, kami berempat..ta de sapa kisah..

 i tak bawa kamera pun ke mall tu..cukup cukup latuh..malam - malam bahaya berjalan bawa slr..
sampai di mustafa, kami straight away shopping chocolate..banyak giler jenis chocolate yang available..
kit-kat adalah normal chocolate..tapi kalau kit kat tuh sepanjang siku ke hujung jari, itu abnormal atau pun cacat okay..cadbury adalah normal, tapi kalau cadbury choc's thickness sampai 2 inch, itu adalah abnormal! gagaga...my advise, all these chocolates are imported from UK..halal tak halal, i tak sure..u sendiri kena check..usually, chocolate from oversea diorang akan gunakan E-Code..check the E-code ok..i yang percaya common choc ada lah halal, beli chocolate sampai 6 packets..one small size kit-kat special choc for backpacker...2 packet of chocolate rock,1 kg each...and another 3 packets abnormal cadbury crunchie..i spent $40 = RM100 for that particular section with total choc weight up to 3 kg! demn..my backpack weight will surely increase..

after chocolate section, we proceed to perfumes section...theres no sales girls or salesman at that particular section..just imagine!! boleh giler tengok perfume mahal mahal ni bersepah depan mata..you can try gucci flora anytime you wish, you can spray jadore estee lauder kat anytime as you wish, boleh smell Hugo Boss, Polo Lauren, Elizabeth Arden and apa macam lagi yang u nak, free free je..sebab FYI, diorang arrange perfume macam diorang arrange susu tin kat k-mart Low Sit Fat.. sangat tak presentable..hahah..bila dah tak presentable, rasa was was barang barang ini ori ke tak pun datang sejenak..BUT, itu hanya seketika sahaja..setelah di tilik tilik dan di renung renungkan, we 90% believe  that the perfumes is original..dont worry pal, treat yourself one..

owh, kalau u planned untuk beli souvenir di sini, i rasa u better beli kat tempat lain..souvenir kat sini tak berapa cantik and tak banyak pilihan..key-chain dia tak cantik..t-shirt singapore dia low quality sikit..and plug plate semua design lama..tak best tak best..so i yang plan nak beli souvenir kat mustafa ini terus tak jadi..meaning that esok, monday i have to plan my own schedule, kena patah balik ke china town untuk beli banyak lagi souvenir..chaiyoukk

selepas berjimba shopping kat mustafa center, time untuk balik..jam menunjukkan pukul 3.30 am, half hour earlier than our expected time to return...kami berjalan slow slow pulang ke hostel...fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...sampai je hostel, i collapsed!! langsung tak dengar apa dah..diorang kata pagi tuh diorang tak boleh tdow sebab hujan lebat giler, lightning strokes, thunder storming..ntah betul ke tak i tak tahu..i tidow rileks je..kih kih kih...you letak bom atom versi amareka pun gua tak bangun..percaya la..

to be continue..

Singapore Trip Part 3

continue....so on saturday, we woke up at 6.45 am..took our shower, bla bla bla and had our breakfast in the hotel as it provides breakfast too..about 8.30am we were ready to walk down the street to JB central..we opt not to take a cab because we were still "fresh & excited"..but if you wanted to take a cab from zen zeng hotel to jb sentral, the rate would be around RM8 sth..
        we arrived at jb central and headed towards CIQ..CIQ stands for Customs, Immigration & Quarantine Complex..don't worry, the signboard is there..just follow the sign..kalau takot sangat, just follow the crowd..and kalau masih tak tahu and tak sure lagi, ask people la deyh!!

walking down to JB central from our hotel 

the signs are everywhere..dont worry =P

 Heading to CIQ

 after all the check up, we went downstairs to take the bus to woodlands checkpoint..any bus doesnt matter as long as you keep the bus ticket..we choose to go to Kranji Mrt..we paid RM2.00 per ticket..the bus drive us to woodland checkpoints..like seriously, q untuk woodland check point sgt la panjang..its really tiring..kalau u nak dapat q awal, sila la berlari 100m/s ke arah check point sebaik sahaja turun dari bus..kami surrender..bag kami besar bai!
              once declaration and all settled, we headed downstairs to take a "different but same company name" bus to Kranji MRT..while waiting, again time to study the map and change the plan sebab sampai pun dah lambat..almost 9.30 am..mat salleh depan kitorang tumpang study map kitorang jugak..agak kembang kempis di situ..i rasa dia pun kagum dengan map A3 kitorang yang i sendiri print live dari office..hahaha..anyway!
         remember the tickets yang i suruh simpan?? bila bus sampai and conductor turun , show it to the conductor..if you lost it, buy another one..but this time in dollar!! hahaha..gelak setan..padan muka..

  this is the bus station at woodland checkpoint..we were waiting for our causeway link CW1 bus to kranji mrt station

inside the bus..a lil cramped up..but who cares..still better than rapid KL dalam U i dulu.

arrived at Kranji MRT Station 

         sesampai di kranji, kami beli ticket ke ang mo kio untuk dapatkan tourist card..dari kranji ke ang mo kio, train $2..di ang mo kio, we choose not to buy the ezilink because it works just like a touch-n-go card..meaning that, once duit habis, u have to top up..kitorang sgt tak rajin nak top up so kitorang pilih tourist card..the ezilink card will cost you $28 and you have to give $5 as deposit..however for the tourist card, you need to pay $8/day plus $10 for deposit....we plan to stay for two days, so we paid $26.. the card can be used anywhere for any kind of public transport..theres no need to top up..$26 dollar for 2 days unlimited..it is accessible for any location, anytime and anywhere..kalau u berjalan mcm "tourist giler-just like us" for 2 days non stop, then i would strongly suggest that you guys get this card..cuma weaknes of this card is that u need to get/return the card at selected station only..before 9pm everyday..so you need to hurry to return the card before the counter closed..or else, your deposit will be burn.. =)

 enuf for the ticket matters..so now, we had changed the plan..we all tak nak masuk USS sebab it is almost 11 am..1 hour late than the targeted time..so we straight away planned to go to the hostel and letak bag dul..THE HIVE HOSTEL adalah nama hostel yang kami stay..it just nearby to MRT Boon Keng..we booked bedroom for 6 female backpacker..harga $22 per pax..bila arrived, blom tiba waktu untuk kami check in..kami tak nak la tinggal lama lama kat sana..itu buang masa namanya..so we decided to leave just our bag kat hostel lobby tuh and proceed with jalan-jalan..owner hostel allowed untuk tinggalkan bag kitorang kat dia..dia kuncikan bag kami semua dengan bag backpacker yang lain lain...bagus kan perkhidmatan dia? dah la muka owner tuh hensem! hmmmmm...

 bila beban dah tiada, semangat berkobar kobar untuk berjalan memuncak..haha..we begin our journey by walking down the Serangoon road to Little india..konon konon nak pegi little india, tapi hampeh..because it is too little, we cannot find it..haha..selamat la jalan itu membawa kami ke City Square Mall..perut dah kruk krak tak tahan malu punya..nak tak nak kena la masuk mall itu untuk mencari sesuap nasi..rupa rupanya susah jugak nak cari makanan halal di singapore..demn..pusing satu mall, tengok makanan..apa pun tak boleh!! physco betul..at last jumpa juga this one japanesse restaurant..ada logo halal tertera..logo halal restaurant tuh tak payah la nak pertikaikan..siapa pertikaikan, memang sengaja free free nak minta pelempang! gagaga...

i tak tahu nak describe the food..its like singaporean + japanesse + Malaysian taste pun ada..so weird..kalau restaurant ini ada kat m'sia, sumpah tak nak recommend kat korunk! 

so after lunch kat city square mall, we went to orchard road, drop at orchard station..fyi, to get there, u need to change the train at dhoby gaut..it is from the blue lane to the red lane..orchard road is just like a pavilion in Malaysia..so many world well known brand and boutique available..and i yang kenal diri i ni sapa sangat la tak mampu nak beli barang barang kat situ..huk huk..well, its not among my targeted place to shop pun..my fren miji bought a blue-tooth earphone from apple epic center yang mahal-haram-jadah-for me for about $300! dollar meh, not RM..we all tak tahu la ear piece apa ntah yang dia beli tu..

 in front of ion orchard mall..

i thought orchard road is just like one straight road je, but so i was mistaken..its like a four square..pelbagai shopping mall yang ada kat sini tapi yang paling penting untuk dylla, orchard road ada SINGAPORE HARD ROCK CAFE!! yeah yeah..
tak senang untuk pegi ke hardrock singapore ye tuan tuan dan puan puan..sungguh tak rock langsung..its soo not in the same block with ion orchard..its almost 4 blocks away from it..since my friend dylla adalah peminat sejati this hard rock thingy, without further delay we walk through the street untuk tunaikan hasrat dia..haha...dylla bought a tshirt for $40 and zati bought a teddy bear for $16..i'm not a big fan of hardrock, so i tak beli apa apa..tapi i own couples of hardrock teddy bear from all over japan country side..itu pun kawan from japan yang bagi =p

 at last, this is it..somewhere behind the coffee bean along orchard road..kenapa la kau nih jauh sangat!

dalam hardrock cafe..semua kuning muning.. naik pening..

lepas dah puas giler berjalan mcm tak ingat anak bini, its time to say goodbye to orchard road..off we went..
its time for H&M boutique!! masa untuk tunaikan hasrat si ochai..tapi untuk pengetahuan semua, H&M boutique is not located at orchard road ye..it is located somewhere in sommerset station..one station after orchard..masa nih, i dah terasa boring..almaklumla, i bukan jenis pakai baju memahal nih...i pakai t-shirt bundle pun takpe! ! so bila boring and tak tahu nak shop apa, i pun duduk kat luar boutique sorang-sorang  termenung melihat singaporean yang stylish sambil mengurut kaki!!! aduihai... pics kat H&M pun takde..sungguh dah tak larat..

pung pang ping pong dalam pukul 5.30 pm, tanpa membuang masa, we continue to our next pit stop,china town...chinatown are so happening with all the chinesse..terasa macam masuk ke KUNGFU town dengan mafia mafia sedang memerhati..haha..main objective ke chinatown adalah untuk beli souvenir..mereka kata di chinatown, fridge magnet, key chain and t-shirt sgt murah..well, its true..7 keychains or 6 fridge magnet - $10, a low quality sikit for singapore t-shirt they sell 3 for $10..and for the good quality, u can get 1 for $10.. we spent one hour and half kat sana...siap dengan solat jamak sekali..jangan tak tahu, walaupun nama chinatown, tapi ada sebuah masjid at the very end of the road..we were surprised..we thought whats describe in the map is just lika a small road name or what...but its real!! 

so picture bawah adalah chinatown..kalau nak jumpa masjid, just walk straight along this road..exit to pagoda street, you will see one..not just masjid, temple pun ada! nak masuk?? pun boleyhhh..
an antique building served in chinatown..
