First days at Singapore
May 11, 2008 by CeRuLeaNSpHyRnA
Here are some (stupid) things I’ve done while in Singapore :
1. Getting lost in Changi!
2. Running (yea running in its real meaning!) back and forth to Esplanade craving for free tickets of Titian Budaya featuring Jaclyn Victor.
3. Tapped the MRT card on the screen (TWICE!) and wondering what the heck was going on with the machine.
4. Tapped the MRT card or any smart card directly using the card, not knowing that actually you could just tap it along with your wallet, saving the necessity to draw your card everytime you’re taping it.
5. Stopped at the bus station too early or too far and finally had to compensate by walking
6. Killed my feet of too many walking (with sandal) :-s, and I almost barely able to feel my feet now. Route : bedok - city hall - marina square - esplanade - merlion - esplanade - city hall - orchard - takashimaya - orchard - botanic garden - esplanade - city hall - clarke quay - bedok
7. Walking around the foodcourt of Takashimaya to grab the free tester-cake (cheapskate :p).
8. Wanted to buy a drink sample at the drink booth at Merlion instead of picking the one in the freezer cuz being afraid of the price difference (in Indomart refrigerated can drinks are usually more expensive).
9. Ordered random food cuz my lack of ability in Mandarin and finally got wasted by the random test grrr.
10. Getting scold of taking pictures at Esplanade’s Art Gallery (not like it’s a new thing, happened too often in Indonesia with me :p)
11. Wet my own Trousers due to sitting on the wet grass of Botanic garden.
12. Telling the story of me getting lost in Changi to my colleague at DS (now it’s going to be a never ending gossip)!!
13. UPDATED : Got confused over a vending machine! Also confused on how to operate a washing machine!
Anyway do you know any more place to visit excluding : Merlion (Marina Square and Esplanade), Orchard, Botanic Garden, Clarke Quay - Riverside -, National Library, Bugis Junction, and IKEA? Please recommend me thanks!
Asik yah jalan-jalan kesana, jangan lupa oleh-oleh buat LiSan yah ^o^

“Wet my own Trousers due to sitting on the wet grass of Botanic garden”
sorry… can;t help myself from laughing..
weleh… tnyata kau ke sono…. pantesan lama banget ga blog. brapa lama di sono? or kerja di sono skrg? good good….
ajak2 g lah….
Ke sentosa island, tp liat song of the sea aja…. yg laen2 ga usa….
nice blog, u should apply for adsense
My recommend places are Singapore Science Discovery Center, Chinese garden, try LRT at Sengkang or Cho Chu Kang, Night Safari (quite amazing), East Cost.. those are places that you can visit some other time.
Why did you visit IKEA? It is not one of the place of interest marked in the guide book, I thought.
@Elmo, Hans : skrg g di sg lage ne.. ga sempet liat blog lagi :-s.. ngepost aja jarang2…
@Yo : IKEA is nice. though I just visited it last week. Loves it. The swede culture and how you should bring your own tray back once you’re done eating. The food is nice. Free flow drinks.
I’m planning to go for Night Safari one day. But this weekend, maybe Sentosa, Chinese Garden and Clementii. What is there on Sci Discovery Center?
Thanks for the suggestion though.
