Singapore (Part 1): Universal Studios
A place, a dream… there’s always one and none… you never
stop, a one ticked out of the list, will be replaced by two or three... more to go, I know, I feel, I’ll do.
On February 5, 2016, I ticked off my 5th Asian
country visit, Singapore, though a search from google could bring you on a
numerous sites and pages that offer numerous information about the country, yet
still, for my memory’s sake, I will cover my personal account on one of the
most expensive countries in the world.
There are 10, 20, even 50 must do in Singapore, but we only
went as far and as many as our tired, soared feet and meager budget could
brought us. If you just feel like
reading and if you think that the information below could help you, then scroll
down.
Singapore is not a priority on my list, considering that it
requires a huge cut on my almost zero
bank account, but an accidental proved on Cebu Pacific site led me and my
friends to a compulsive decision to purchased a roundtrip ticket to Singapore for
Php6,500.00, not bad indeed! It was
September 2015, and the flight is scheduled on February 5 and return on 8, 2016
in time for the Chinese New Year. We
made an extra effort to save for hotel, entrance fee to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and
food, shopping is certainly not included. Day 3: February 7, 2016
1st stop:Shop at Bugis: For cheap and wide variety of "pasalubong" like "I love SG t-shirt", bags and chocolates.Route: From Little India DT12 station to Bugis DT14 (approximately 10 minutes travel).
2nd Stop - Feeling artist at Haji Lane:
From Bugis walkstraight along Victoria Street, turn right onto Ophir Street, left at North Bridge Road and finally, right onto Haji Lane.
A hipsters enclave and fashionistas paradise hidden in a tiny lane, it offers a chick selections of stylish and hip tailored dress and accessories. It also offers a different theme of quaint and rustic little cafe.
From Bugis station we took Downtown line LRT and get off at DT16 Bayfront Station.
The Garden by the Bay is a 101hectares nature park, its creation was inspired by the goal of the government to transform Singapore to a City in a Garden, the government believes that this will raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the City.
4th Stop: Marina Bay Sands
A luxurious hotel, Marina Bay Sands viewed like surfboard offers a magnificent view of all points around the city especially of the Garden by the Bay, Merlion Park and at Singapore Fly. This state of the art engineered floating park, created by visionary architect Moshe Safdie, is a 1.2 hectare SkyPark, hailed longer than the Eiffel Tower when laid down, housed an observation deck, gardens, restaurants and an exclusive and impressing, infinity-edge swimming pool "ohhh keep dreaming."

Before going home, we had a quick detour at the China Town to witness the celebration of Chinese New Year and at Little India.

Finally, chili crab at the old Banana Leaf Apollo.

| We are just lucky to have the last servings of Chili crab at the Banana Leaf. Since its Chinese New Year, almost all the restaurants are close and you cannot possibly find chili crab during holiday. |
