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
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:
