Trip Gembel To Singapore

SINGAPORE | Wednesday, 14 May 2014 | Views [161] | Scholarship Entry

This was my first trip with Maggie. Maggie is my super best friend. We've been friends since grade one at Junior high school. We stayed at boarding school for 6 years and really want to go abroad together. After graduation and get the job,
we plan a trip which no need a long time, no need much money, and finally we decided to go to Singapore. And Lucky! We got promo ticket from Air Asia, so we only paid 70.000 rupiahs from Jakarta (Indonesia) to Singapore. Ate, my friend will also join in this trip. Because of economical reason, Ate, suggested us to bring bottle, she said, in Singapore you can find drinking water easily, it more cheaper than buy mineral water in supermarket, she also said that we need to bring some dishes like anchovy, instant noodle, salted squid, it will save our money for few dollar. we asked to Ate, how much we need to bring money? Ate said 100 SGD is enough. Our main destination is Universal Studio Singapore. We bought ticket for 66SGD. Then, the preparation is ready.
On 28th January 2014 we are heading to Singapore. It was like a dream, we still cant believed it, but its real. it takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Jakarta to Singapore. "Mag, finally we go abroad" i said to Maggie. We are so happy. We arrived at Changi Airport on 17.00 in Singapore time.
The first impression arriving in Singapore, a very clean and discipline country. Ate will arrive at Singapore at 7 PM, while waiting her, we will do city tour. Armed with brochures, we go to Singapore Flier. To get in we should pay 33SGD, " do we need to get in? the price is too expensive"i asked Maggie. "Sure! Singapore is sophisticated city, we should try it, besides, we not came here everyday"Maggie said. Singapore Flier was very nice, we can see a whole Singapore City in the night from the upper, we see colorful lights from Marina Bay Sands, Merlion, ect, we took much photos, after that, we came back to hostel. People in Singapore was so nice, they very friendly to show us the way when we got lost in city. We stayed at Groce Lodge, a clean dormitory and provide free and fast wi-fi access. On second day in Singapore we spent our day at Universal Studio. And when dusk comes, we having dinner by Merlion Park until 10 PM, because we need to go to airport with the last MRT. I slept in the airport with Maggie and Ate beside box marked high voltage, and the airport was very cool. And on 5.45 am i back to Jakarta for work with first flight. it was only two day, but i really happy
