Hai, how is your day?!

Well, meet me again in my Ceritasya’s Blog. Today I want to share my vacation in Singapore. We can say that this trip was my ‘wedding organizer and birthday’ gift from my sister. Last September, I helped my sister to arrange her engagement day and officially became her wedding organizer so she gave this trip as a reward. 

We planed to visited Singapore in February, and hope we can celebrate my 25^th birthday there. Unfortunately, the ticket fee was lil bit high so we dicided to go in March. So, here it is.

First day – Kampong Glam and The Marina Bay Sands –

We arrived in Singapore at 9 am. Well since we still didn’t know where to go and couldn't go to the hotel before 3 pm, so we were agree to discuss it while we had a late breakfast in the airport. 

My first destination in Singapore was Universal Studio, but we put it in 2^nd day, and the second was The Marina Bay Sands. We watched the commercial on tv and said ‘I have to go there’, but I wanted to see the sunset from the sky park so we have to go there in the afternoon. Before that, we must go somewhere between at 10 am – 2pm, so we decided to go to the Bugis Village.

Based on the travel book, we can go there by MRT, get off at Bugis Station and head out exit B to end up on Victoria Street.

To get there we passed Raffles Hospital and my sister was really excited to take a picture in front of that hospital. Maybe it’s because she is a doctor, so she wanted to take picture at every famous hospital. But still, weird for me =P

This picture was taken in front of The Golden Landmark, I played with the birds and maybe you can see far behind me, there is a mosque with golden dome? That is Sultan Mosque, and that would be our destination.

After walking about 10 minutes, we arrived at the mosque but we should go around the mosque to get the main entrance. The mosque design is quite simple for me, but nice. We took a midday pray and took a rest for a while before continue walk.

After taking a midday pray, we walked on Kandahar Street and passed several eateries housed in classic shophouses. This area was very fascinating, and perfect place to collect several pictures at the shops with classic style.

Our next stop should be Istana Kampong Glam, but we couldn't find the palace even we already walked around the junction, and started to feel tired. My feet really hurt and my sister had a backpain, so we gave up the palace and  went to the hotel before we continue our journey to the Marina Bay Sands
