My Singapore Trip

A few months ago, I had a trip to Singapore. It's been years since the last time i visit Singapore. in this occasion, I visit Singapore for work. I attended a property conference with my co-workers. The conference itself held in Singapore Expo on 22-23 October 2018.

I took a flight from Jakarta to Singapore on 21 October 2018. My flight departed on 9 o clock in the morning. We arrived at Grand Park Hotel on Orchard road by bus from Changi airport with fare SGD 2,5 per person. We arrived at 2 o clock. After check in on the hotel, we decided to went to sightseeings.

We used public transportations since we we low on the budget. we took subway to Marina. The trip to Marina using subway was epic since none of us was went to Singapore recently. We bought the Ezylink card, it was e-money card for public transportations card such as buses and subway. The card was cute, it was a Doraemon-design card with SGD 12 price.

We left from Sommerset Station to Marina. However, since we just follow the maps, We took the wrong station to Marina south pier. The train was empty because it was the last station. with dizzy and confused tought we decided to ask the security staff on the train station. it was explained that we have took the wrong stop so we have to go back 2 stations to Raffles Places Station.

We planned to go back to the 2 station before and we should take the subway on the Lane A, however due to confusions and excitements we took the wrong train again to the pool of the subways. The staff was kind of angry to us, bu the bright side was we have the whole train for us only and we can took picture freely on the train.

Arriving on Merlion statue, we decided to took picture each. We walk from the Raffles Places to the Merlion statues.

 

The weather was hot and the area was crowded, so after taking picture we walking around. while waiting the sun to down we just sitting by the bay enjoying the scenery. It was'nt too bad until the beautiful scenery distracted by people beside us who actually crying her eyes out. We did'nt really realize it until she sobbed harder and an Indian couple that make out in the other side made us left the place.

We just walked around by the bay to the Singapore flyer. We pass the stadium by the bay and took some pictures. The scenery was nice and the weather was nicer since its almost sunset.

The Singapore Flyer was exiting. however the ticket was quite pricey. It was SGD 33 per person. From the flyer, we can enjoy the scenery around Singapore. the sunset around Marina Bay was stunning. 

The view to the sea was breath taking especially when we reach the peak of the flyer.  from the flyer, we can see Garden by the Bay and Marina Bay sand Buiding. 

It was beautiful.

When the sunset came, the view become much more beautiful. The melancholic scenery taking you to embrace the view.

From the Singapore Flyer, we went back to our hotel and rest because the next day we need to attend the conference early in the morning.

On the second day, firstly we attended the conference from early morning until the afternoon. After that, we went around Chinatown and Bugis Street market. We bought some snacks as gift for the office and just walk and walk around enjoying the locality.

The China town as its name was like an old city and filled with old building in oriental style. However, in the area not only we can find temple, but also Muslim Mosque and Indian Temple.

Despite there was mosque there, however it was quite difficult to find halal food. We must check the ingredients carefully to make sure there was no pork contain on it.

     After some time, we decided to go to Clarke Quay, we plan to eat there, however we couldn't find the Indonesian Restaurant like we planned. So we decided to stay a while enjoying the afternoon taking some pictures.

 

From the Clarke Quay, We decided to eat Indonesian food in Lucky Plaza on Orchard Road, not far from the hotel we stayed. 

On The third day, Early morning we attended the conference and the afternoon we visited the building named JTC Summit in Jurong.  We finished early in the afternoon at almost 4 pm. 

Having much time left, we decided to go to Kpop store around Pasir Ris. It was quite far and took more than an hour trip from Jurong Staion by MRT. I didn't took any pictures on the store. However, i bought some kpop stuff such as standee of EXO and tumblr of BTS (on resquest). 

We eat Indonesian food on Lucky plaza again for dinner.

on the last day, we check out early in the morning and we went to Garden by the Bay. 

We took afternoon flight to go back to Jakarta and arrived in Jakarta on 7 pm on the afternoon.
