Z-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-A

.... this is a LOOOOOONG over due blog

short but memorable vacay in "no less" the lion country of Singapore. YES!!!! Singapore, it is! oh wow.... sossy haha

'Twas very memorable because of few my FIRSTs... my very first time to travel overseas (my passport got devirginized)... my first time to take CebuPac. I traveled with gorgeous cousin Rose a.k.a. "tayang," she's much sexier by that name hehehe. Anyway, we landed safely despite my nervousness (plane created unusual noise, sorry but i used to take PAL) close to midnight at Changi Airport. We were expecting Lai (my other cousin) to pick us up in the airport, surprisingly 2 of my colleagues, owen and toddy (SG based) were also there...

 

tayang-eric-lai-toddy-me (owen took the photo)

we drove to Pasir Ris (at Lai & Eric's place). very sweet of my cousin Lai who prepared food for us. We were talking 'til 3am as if we've not been talking for decades hahaha.

• FIRST DAY.... not to waste time, with only few hours of sleep, we got up early to have our tour in the heart of the city.... along ORCHARD.

public transport is very comfy (buses & MRT are using top-ups)

We did a lot of window shopping hahaha but in fairness, we bought something... I got sandals and tayang got a dress and sandals too which eventually we call 'em killer sandals. Lingaw kau mi, that whole day was spent walking in the streets of Orchard, the Ion, Merlion and the city hall (i think). for some time we were so tired and found ourselves sitting on the grass in barefoot... and still taking photos, enjoying every moment of it. On our way home, we were caught in rush hour, train was full and we had to bump elbow-to-elbow with hmmm smelly locals eewwww! 

 ...had our dinner across Novena Church (not sure of the exact place) with their famous chicken rice yum! yum!

• SECOND DAY.... chinese garden!!!!!!!!! AND we were in shorts, yes! these are some photos during our bonding with nature CHAAARRRR (actually lots lots of these coz we were/are picture addicts)

@MRT, we were the 1st few to ride
so we had all the liberty to take pictures

hehe we were buzzed for crossing the yellow line

murag wala'y ice cream sa pinas... see $1.00 sounds cheap but hell NO!

one more pose!!! tnx to self-timer

   

                    

Oooops! I had an unforgettable embarrassing experience with this train-top-up thing. Top-up is like a debit (prepaid) card used in public transport. Lai & Tayang were ahead of me chatting, when my turn to exit...the bar didn't roll. Gosh!!! the line was getting longer waiting for me to get thru. A lady came to tell me that i had to reload my card. Fortunate of me that i kept $10 in my pocket. aaaaarrrrghh!!!

mga emoterang FROGGIE!!!!

ang mga addict hahaha

...obviously we were enjoying, laugh like crazy ang trip. super lingaw, murag wala'y ugma :))))

yeah look!!! di na kaya mg-heels. this was on our way home whoahahaha
sa kakapoy!!! dinner @ the flat kay we were supposed to change then off to night safari
BUT after dinner, we realized that so much for the day and no power anymore yay!

• THIRD DAY.... the great SENTOSA ISLAND DAY. Since it's a Saturday, yehey... ERIC & OWEN were able to join us.   

We (AGAIN) started early. We met up with Eric in Vivo City. Get our tickets for the monorail ride bound to Sentosa Island. Here's some photo-freak proof... here are some crazy moments :)

AND the walk begins....

 

 ...that guy in green is OWEN ---> so hospitable to join us in our quick SG adventure. He is my colleague based in SG. He stayed with us the whole time and even sent us to airport on our way back to Philippines... 

hahaha full of moments! we start walking by the beach... murag wala'y beach sa ato??? but anyway-hiway, pwerte jud picture-picture bisan asa ka-landing thru the kindness of our good friend K.T. Lee a.k.a. Eric baby! hahaha felt like a star.... a lost star bwahahaha. oh yeah, we tried the cable car where the experience was breathtaking. 360 degrees view of entire Singapore. In short, no need to laag-laag coz practically we saw the entire country na weeeee

 ang mga picture-addict... bisan asa tugpa "posing" dayun bwahaha our photographer must be very quick too. he never failed to catch our moments! One of a kind ka talaga eric yay!

......ooops! walang mo-palag arun di ma-nosebleed 

Oh SINGAPORE, i miss you!!!!!!!

bwahahahahahahaha!!!! some people even turned their heads on us pero keber! Nobody dared... kay deadma ra jud gihapon mi bwhahaha


FOURTH DAY (last)... that was when we visit my friend and tita in Woodlands. 

Dessa's family 'sbeen in SG for years, they are PRs. Dessa's bro, Delo sent pasalubong for them... pancit canton, peanut butter, etc. kay wala daw lami ang food sa SG. She also asked me to bring toys for Delo's kids. 

our last day... was just a chika day. after Woodlands, we went back straight to Lai's flat to continue our neverending chit-chat and our packing 101. AND ohhh I remember now... before we flew to SG, Toddy introduced this Indian guy (hehehe i can't even remember his name) to me online hmmm actually to US (JPanis Lads), not me alone. When he learnt that we were in SG, he went up to Pasir Ris from Jurong (end-to-end of SG). With due respect to the guy, nigawas baya ko for a while but I was just too uncomfortable of the thought and I stayed inside the room (ng-agwanta bisan init kau) and never got out until he decided to leave hahaha so rude of me!

so much memories that this room had witnessed!!!!

estoryaheeee hahaha
