Hit the Road Jack



Hellohello.

That, ^, is a picture of a bridge in Penang. Heh, just thought I'd have that up.

Anyway, as mentioned, I decided to pay my Singaporean cousins a visit 2 weeks ago.
Took a bus down. I nearly missed that bus. I got there like a minute before they left. PHEW.
My time management ain't exactly flawless, I'd say.
Was a 5 hour journey. & in that 5 hours, I made 2 friends.


  Say hello to Yoong Jie & Andrew :)

Cousins took me to Universal Studios the next day.




 Love how the themes and decorations are so elaborated.







 Bugis street, sorta like Singaporean version of Petaling Street.
 City centre. Not really sure exactly where ._.

Buttwipe cousin of mine :)
He shouldn't be Singaporean as his level of knowledge of Singaporean history is utterly hopeless.
Me : Who is that on the Singaporean dollars?
Him : Urhh.

Me: What does the Merlion represent anyway?
Him : Urhh.
 Merlion. I kinda thought the original one was at Sentosa, apparently not. That's just the enlarged version of it.
 It is still a self-conflict, in deciding whether that looks more like a ship or a plan.

 Having AMAZING food at the Hyatt hotel, where his eldest sister works.
It's amazing how the MRT gets you to nearly any point in Singapore.
I love them Singaporean cousins <3


Just a note, if you're planning to take a trip down to Singapore by bus;

I would recommend First Coach if you're travelling alone & Aeroline if you're travelling in a group.
First Coach is cheaper about RM36, the seatings are comfortable and they've got individual media entertainment though I think you have to bring your own earphones.
Aeroline is double decked. But the lower one only functions as a lounge fit for 6. That's probably why it's about RM95. & also because they provide food and there's an attendant on duty.

But I think I personally prefer First Coach.

That chorus is addictive.
