Impromptu Trip to Singapore

ACCA exams were very stressful. Hence, the impromptu trip to Singapore right after the the exam. I bought AirAsia flight ticket KUL-SIN, two weeks before the trip for RM72 one way. This trip marked my second visit to Singapore.

Day 1 (14th December 2014)

Since my mission was to spend one full day at Universal Studio Singapore (USS), I took the the early morning flight which gave me ample time to drop by at my hostel; Little Red Dot to store my luggage on my way to USS from the airport.



Prior to that I bought my USS admission ticket for RM155 from Norli Fadzila Putri - 017-772 7787. I arrived around 0900 and the gate was still close. While waiting for the gate to open, I took few pictures with the Universal globe. Approximately at 0930, the staff let me in. I got meal and re-entry voucher from the staff at the entry gate. These voucher made my life easier that day. We all love free stuff, don't we?



As I was traveling solo, my waiting time was cut short. I didn't have to queue for so long because of the single-rider lane. The most enjoyable ride is Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle. I couldn't get enough of it even after 6 rides. I couldn't describe the feeling because for once, I feel like an autobot. I took a rest whenever I wanted to. I even could go for second, third and fourth ride whenever I felt like. I enjoyed every second and every part of USS. The only disappointment was the closing of Battlestar Galactica: CYLON and HUMAN and also the cancellation of the parade due to weather.




I left USS around 1800 after satisfying my adrenaline rush. I went to the Little Red Dot which was located at the Lavender Street to check-in my capsule bed. Since I was running out of energy, I slept at 2100 without having my dinner that night.



Day 2 (15th December 2014)


My first capsule bed
The next morning, I got up around 0800 and had my free breakfast at the hostel. I checked-out approximately around 1030 without having a proper planning. At that point of time, I only had "lunch at Zam-zam at Arab St" on my mind. I decided to walk from the hostel to Arab St which only took me half an hour with slow pace. I strolled over Arab Street and Bugis Street before riding the MRT train to Kranji to catch a bus to Larkin. From Larkin, I bought bus ticket to Kuala Lumpur.
