My High Society Life in Singapore

 

 Singapore.... yet AGAIN!

Sounded actsy kan?!?

As you know, this is my entah berapa kali datang Singapore for work, hence am not going to update so much on Singapore unless am here on personal trip. So I will update you how my high society life here in Singapore and what I get for some travelholic and of course traveltodd.

 

I took the longest train gerabak I ever experience in Singapore that's for sure, I think there's about 5 coaches at least. But this is no big deal lar... I took the train to Harbour Front and swap to monorail to proceed to Universal Studio - Sentosa. Check out what I got *wink wink*.

Oh! The new Circle Line is ready and now I can get to HP office via train instead of cab. YEAY!!! Check out the NEW SINGAPORE MRT MAP (courtesy of Singapore MRT/Google).

Reached there, that's when I realised (datang sini banyak kali skarang baru noticed) that there's a map telling what is where.... cis!!! Selama nih I dok jalan cam giler wondering cam orang bodoh. Ek elaaa....

Anyway, I came here with a mission that is :

1. Get the car for Chawan (dia kirim 2-3 kali dah but luggage was heavy each time)

2. Magnets & keychain from Universal Studio for travelholic gift exchange OR contest ?!??! TUNGGGGUUU

3. Cute gift for smallest travelholic ie TRAVELTODD - Aqilah (but secret worrr)

 

Bump into this but dah ada dah, just so you know; there's 3 HRC in Singapore:

1. HRC at Orchard Road

2. HRC at Changi Airport

3. HRC at Sentosa Island

Pulau sekecik nih pun ada sampai TIGA. Giler apaa...

Just remembered the new ride is open - TRANSFORMER, my bro is going to be sooooo EXCITED!

 Dia suka Transformer giler!

As some of you know, I stayed at Marina Bay Sands, yang atas rupa cam kapal tuh (the top look like a ship!). For those wondering how it looks like, please check out my last year entry HERE where I came for the same conference (Yeah! It's annual). And  if you need to know on which floor the SKYPARK is located - 57th FLOOR.

OK! Let's talk about my High Society Life here *sambil flipping hair dengan muka angkuh giler & tersangat perasan*. Actually.... It's just a desert shop lar, I jek over giler. HAHHAHAH.... actually I tak masuk pun.

Saw this as well at Marina Bay Mall. Wolfgang Puck restaurant... tobat mahai kan. Jenguk pun segan, lalu je lerr...

Then.. atas sebab I know where I stand *dengan nada humble lagi sopan santun*, I am NO High Society, I pun join ler Black Sheep Society, this is more me ler kot kan... Hahhaha.... 

Sapa sedar diri and nak join????

In between the days was conferences that I need to attend thus no pic. I also thought I should share on Singapore Airport T1, T2 & T3 location AND that apparently they're building T4 as well. Banyak nye traffic kat sini, KLIA sepi jek, silap ari bulan bunyi cengkerik pun leh dengar. There's a train running between these terminals, kite should do this between KLIA & LCCT kan kan kan... gomen!

For those going to Singapore, the airlines departs from these terminal, jangan gi salah terminal lak. Check out the flight tix betul betul tau.

That's my short Singapore updates, ingat nak update blog semalam but ada kuliah agama and..... yang best nye (aside from ilmu downloading) auntie gave our family some bubur Asyura (utara/manis version). 

YUM YUM!

Puss In Boots Movie Day

 Just got back from Puss In Boots Customer and Media Movie Day event 3 hours ago, to wake up early on a Saturday for work is sooo blah... Anyway, it was a great event and am kinda proud as it was using our company technology etc etc etc....

It looks easy but process and getting to the event day was hell, obtaining the content on HP technology collaborating with DreamWorks and the visual, premiums approval, printing and inviting our customers and media friends was not a walk in the park. That was for sure! Giler time consuming.

 But the end result - everyone was happy, smiling and enjoyed the whole show. Aaahhh..... made all my team hard effort worthwhile.

Did Puss In Boots non-woven bag & notepad for customers, media and kids. They we pretty happy and surprised... yeay!!

 I so love the notepads, the inlay paper was of the same pic with orange spot colour. Comeiii...

Once they all went in the cinema, I go get me self a brunch and went home to wash my tones of clothes (giler berguni guni). Basically I am hinting that I have NOT watch this movie!!!!

JOM!!!

Lagi Lagi Tumasik (A Candylicious Trip)

Well, this is not my first trip to Singapore, unfortunately due to work, I visits Singapore yearly (plus personal trip). Been doing that since I was a kid as my dad travels KL-Singapore frequent back in those days.

Singapore since then has changed. It was a long gap between my tweenager life till I REVISITED Singapore, almost 10 years or so. Singapore moderanisation overtook Malaysia by few years I must say. Anyways..... back to my trip...

Been outside of USS (Universal Studio Singapore) a couple of times, and inside USS twice todate, goodness knows why ler kan. This shop caught my eyes few times so I figure I shall take a pic and blog an entry about it.

Candies are everywhere... I am more fascinated with the colours then the candy itself actually. Hahhahah.... it's such a cheerful decor and colours. Cam leh happy sentiasa selamanye kat sini!

Should I buy or should I not? Hemmm....

MORE choices???? NO!!!!!!!!!

Jeng jeng jeng...... Another one, this shop is located outside the entrance of Universal Studio Singapore (USS) as well.

Didn't get any here, as it was wayyyy to confusing to choose.... I hate options as you can see!

The car can't be eaten okay! Do take note on this! Mana ler tau kot kot orang ingat since nih kedai cekelat, semua leh ngap!

Ambek ko, teddy bear Hershey's tak HINGAT dunia.

THE SMELL!!!! YA Allah, sedap and harum nye, I practically FLOAT into this shop! Can you get high on popcorn smell.... I mean... seriously! HEAVEN!!!

They have few flavours, I can't remember them all.... I know they have cheese and caramel etc etc...

If cameras can capture smell, you would know I am NOT LYING!

I bump into this flea market near Bugis Street (my fav) and just have to stop and check it out. A stall caught my attention.... any girls attention I bet. Hehheh.... Ended up buying one, the stone necklace, what so cool is that the stone will change colour when it is out in the sun. COOL HUH!

I thought I just have to own it!

Why lar I didn't get the charm bracelet ..... sigh... Chomeiii

At the end, I bought one as earlier mentioned, but now kinda regretted not buying even more. She told us that her goods are either hand-made or hand-picked from Japan. Hence, the quality supposedly better lar.... and I kinda like the design as well, not the normal ones like those I saw in blogs.

Choices choices choices.... argh.... fening!

Tah dahh.... the owner.... she gave me her blog name but I successfully lost the paper.... doink ler you Lily!

PS : Raya nanti I blog pasal Raya lak...okies.

Orchard Christmas Wanderlust

3 countries, 3 weeks business trips, 3 Singapore trips; all within 1 month (Attempting to sound like Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race here). Tired? Well YEAH!!

Since I've been to Singapore soooo often (after all it's only 50mins flight), I thought I know it all (sounded cocky right? Singaporean probably hates me for this, SORRY guys!). Anyway, when Maimon say lets do a night cable car ride to Sentosa Island, I was..... there's a night ride??? Then she said, we can do LUGE too. WHAT??? There's more to come okay. Sucker for all these, I; without hesitation and obediently said YES! (I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't right!?!).

So, off we go to Mount Faber Jewel Cable Car ride.

The view was magnificent, and the fact that I was traveling with kids, I felt like one too - automatically (But seriously; I have always had the biggest young kid heart! Hahhaha). Love the road lights, reminded me of those postcard pics (on a perasan mode here).

I felt that Christmas is the season where the WHOLE Singapore is being lighted up. Really....

View of Vivo City when we cable car over it. Here too is the docking for Star Cruise that set sail from Singapore-Malaysia-Phuket. Not only that, you can also take the ferry to Batam, Indonesia. AND (Yup! There's more), they have another cable car station HERE if you wish to ride, but the trip is a tad too short from Vivo City to Sentosa Island though, hence I don't think it as much fun.

OK! We did the LUGE and all, I write this on the next entry for you guys yah... plus some other yummy stuff (on my 2nd Singapore trip).

Back on Christmas, the "Maimon cable car trip" was the first Singapore trip beginning of this month, then there's my last week trip (3rd trip) which I decided to take pics of the ever so famous Christmas light on Orchard Road. You won't believe how many LOCALS and TOURIST with their point-&-shot camerasssss and DSLRssssss with tripod and all on Orchard, goodness; it was a massive human traffic jam. Hahhaha.... but this created the Christmas-y mood, so; I guess no one minds.
:)

I thought my mom favourite mall have the nicest decor, sooo sweet and yummy looking.

Towards the end of Orchard approaching ION Mall area, lesser crowd; more space for pics taking.

Near Centre Point mall. I guess the one thing missing here is SNOW!!!



Care to share your Christmas lights story with me?

P/S : Bahiya, I got your Timberland shoe for you yah!

Going Home

Been away for so long.

Missing family, friends, food, facebook, blog. Arghhh...

Knowing the fact that network (and work) will minimise my access to facebook and blog PLUS that I can't access facebook in China *agony*, I have "smartly" prepared all my entries 3 weeks in advance and post to published at specific date. Hence, you noticed that I have all entries post out but minimal blog surfing to all my darling bloggers site (miss you guys!). Am catching up upon landing to Singapore on Friday and this coming week (YEAY!).

Been in Singapore since 25 November, and on 4 December flew to Beijing. Work starts from 7am and ens at 10pm...sigh. By then we were too tired and sleepy.

I posted some pics in Singapore (Marina Bay Sands Sky Park), so I thought I should do the same for Beijing.

We stayed in Loong Palace Hotel & Resort at some FAR FAR FAAAAAR away place ie outer of 5th Ring Road. Anyway....

After "surveying" the view from our Operation Room, I finally concluded the sunrise gonna look great, all I have to do is walk to the main road and snap some pics. No regrets here, glad I did it.

Can't help but snapping away.

Sigh.... Loving the scenary.

Love the sun, trees and feel.

It was really really really FAAAAAAAR. Out hotel was located outer of Ring Road 5, to go to the airport takes 1 hour, to Silk Market 1 hour, to Badaling Gate of Great Wall Of China also took us 1 hour. WHAT!!!!! Argh.... hence, due to work, journey and taxi fairs, I stayed in the hotel 98% of the time.

The view from the operation room for my team, my colleague kept laughing at me as I was the ONLY one whom are touristy ie kept snapping pics. Now they know me as the sunset and sunrise girl. Hahhahah.... Little Miss Sunshine me!

Went to Silk Market in Beijing, took me 1 hour to JUST get there!!! Argh..... and RMB80 (comes up to RM40), a very very expensive journey. It was compensated with the goodies I got here, extreme happy of cause (show you the pics in next blog *wink*). Wanted to buy more buuuuuuut... my luggage was soooooo full as I have been out of country for the last 2 weeks.

Saw this Hyundai model, love it! Hemm..... haven't seen one in Malaysia. I hope they bring this model in.

The front view, not bad huh!

The view from Silk Market while waiting for my cab.

Finally back to Malaysia (before that, I did a 2 days R&R in Singapore).
