morning agenda:

1. how to use ezlink (top up/load)... and familiarize with MRT lines(http://www.sbstransit.com.sg/nel/systemmap.asp)

2. orchard road. the premier shopping belt (name all the expensive brands... they have it)

3. esplanade (theatres by the bay). the durian-like building with its distinctive dome-shaped roofs with concert hall and several recital rooms, theatre and rehearsal studios, as well as outdoor performing spaces

4. merlion. singapore's tourism symbol... half fish, half lion... statue overlooking Marina Bay

5. clarke quay. historical riverside quay (better seen at night)... filled with restau, nighclubs and bars (barkadas gimmick list in singapore)... don't forget to experience the g-max reverse bungee (never tried it yet) and river cruises

evening galas:

1. ride the bus (don't forget the ezlink!)... i forgot to mention that singapore has excellent transport system

2. watched movie! Jumper starring Hayden Christensen

3. long walk in orchard road (waaaaa)... destination... CHIJMES (pronounced “chimes”) the popular dining, shopping and entertainment site

hmmm... tough day actually... oops... i also tried the famous 1SGD ice cream (30 pesos!)

i remember me talkin' to my friend 'bout my wish if given a chance to travel in foreign countries... i really don't want to be alone... but then, 'found myself alone holdin' my passport & travelling bag in NAIA! guard checked the passport & eticket... queued in first security scanner... looked for cebu pacific line (http://www.cebupacificair.com/)... paid the travel tax... lined up in immigration (the scary part of airport... hehe)... second security checking... waited for a while... then my first plane ride...

bro fetched me from changi airport (http://www.changiairport.com/changi/en/index.html) and that was the start of the quest...
