Roaring Singapore...


Finally I make my way back to Cyber after a 3-day hustle and bustle trip to Singapore...fuhh. I had to accompany members of Student Representative Council to an official trip to the Lion country from 23 - 25th March 2009. Great experience as a backpacker :) Here the story goes...

Day One
Departure
I was 5 minutes late, some students were already waiting at bus stop in front of our university. We departed around 8 am +++ to Putrajaya Sentral. Took ERL to Plaza Rakyat. By 11 am, we already started our bus ride to Larkin, Johor. Reached there around 2 pm ++. Another group of students from Melaka already waiting at Mc D. After stuffing our bellies there, we took a public bus to Woodlands.

Arrival
After going thru all the immigration procedures, we finally touched down the Singapore land. Again, took a bus ride to Queen Street Bus Terminal. From there, we walked down to Little India, a place where we would stay for the next 3 days. 6 pm ++ reached Nava's Place. As I said, it was the rooms for backpackers. Huhu, I was so uneasy at first as we had to share bathroom with others (I mean guys). But of course la, not in a same room, I mean the same bathrooms will be used by all. At night, we took our dinner around that area and explored the place until we're tired and went back to sleep.

Day Two
A warm welcome
Our first agenda of the day was to visit National University of Singapore (NUS). As we entered the campus, we were welcomed by Tisha and Anisa from NUS's students reps. We were led to Student Services Centers where presentation by both universities and group discussion sessions were going on. Then, they brought us to NUS Art Gallery. One thing that I just knew about NUS, the university was actually rooted from University of Malaya (UM).

After refreshing ourselves with the Singaporean foods, we made our way to Nanyang Technological University (NTU). At that time most of us already tired and I could notice the discussion run a little bit slow. There, we met several Malaysian students. One that I knew was Rui Yang from Ipoh. Very kind :) I knew he was quite tired (as he said he slept at 5 am in the morning and woke at 9.00 am to prepare for the visit) but he was patiently assisted me to Surau which located at different side of the building. He brought me to Art and Design School ( actually I did not follow the rest of the group as my shoes caused a little pain). The school was so beautiful and I couldn't help myself from holding my breath for a few seconds.That was my first time seeing a building which planted grasses on top of its roof! After the visit, we headed back to Little India.

Merlion
Since we did not have any agenda at nite, we have decided to go to Merlion. It was always my dream to take photos with the Lion Head. It's a dream came true la! Hehe..We went there on our own, just by studying the MRT route. Real backpackers! Although we had stopped at a wrong station but finally we reached there by asking people. After a fun photo taking activities at Merlion we went back to Little India.

Day There
Kiss Goodbye
Since it was our last day at Singapore, our last activities was to go to Orchard Road to look for some souvenirs. Not much interesting. I heard China Town was even better but we didn't have time to go there. We also did not have enough time to visit Sentosa Island (so sad). At 2.30 pm, we were leaving Little India and took a bus to Woodlands. Good bye Singpore and we had to catch our bus to KL at 5 pm..penattt.

Some interesting things to share:

a) MRT moves faster than LRT
b) So does its escalator
c) No old car on the road
d) Clean city (100% agree!)

Breaking Fast @ The Coast, Alamanda Putrajaya

I was so excited that Sunday evening. Maklum la, lama tak jumpa member2 MBA. Really miss all those good old days with you guys. Most of us already completed the course and struggling with our thesis project right now. Ada jugak yg dah siap .. huhu caya la! Actually gathering ni dah beberapa kali ditunda sebab ramai yg tak dapat dtg before. Finally, everyone agreed to meet on Sept, 30. Reached Alamanda earlier than anyone else, I guessed. Nobody was at the restaurant yet. Sementara nak tunggu semua org datang , pegi la check our reservation dgn waiter kat situ Hmm .. menarik jugak . Nice and strategic location. 15 minutes passed. Started to sms those who'd confirmed to come. Mane sumer org nih? At the end, there were only 5 of us. Me, Kak June, Kak Gee, Maz and wife - Madiha and their little cute baby boy. Huhu kinda of upset but it's ok . We enjoyed the little gathering. Thank you Maz for treating us all :)

The Mysterious Card's Sender...

Remember I did mention about ‘a card’ which I found at my hometown last 2 weekends? Heheh..taraaaa…..let’s look a little bit closer….It’s me! I sent the Raya Card to my mom and dad…probably I was in standard 1 at that time. I read the card with my mom and both of us couldn’t stop laughing…so cute..hehe. The 'ucapan' seemed so small. So I write it here..:) "Assalamualaikum mama dan ayah. Bila Hari Raya nanti buatlah kuih banyak-banyak. Boleh lah kita makan sama-sama. Mama cuti nanti Ayu nak tidur rumah tok OK! Ku himpun sepuluh jari meminta maaf kepada ayah dan ibu" Kat sampul surat siap ada pantun, aduih... "Isnin dahulu baru Selasa Senyum Dulu baru buka" P/S: Buat kuih banyak2 tu tak tahan! kah kah..happy nya jadi kanak-kanak...

Women are stupid?

Woo woo..hold on girls. Don't get so emotional. It a question mark, not a statement. This topic actually came out of my head when I was watching Bulletin Utama while having my dinner this evening (Bad habit for those on diet: Eating while watching tv ). A girl, at K. Terengganu wanted to jump from a hotel roof after an argument with her boyfriend. This fellow scolded her for not telling him that she went back to her hometown ( Kes merajuk ler ni lepas kena marah ). Why arr...some women like to do stupid things like this. A 'self- destruction ' I would say. Why did she choose to kill herself instead of killing the guy that broke her heart? Kill him first la, then only kill your self (Ada berani ?). Huhuh ...I'm just kidding guys! Actually my point here is, why do you want to hurt your self. He won't lost anything. He could find another new girl friends. And you? Buried underground. I remember during my school time, my ustaz said, those who committed suicide ...
