Singapore trip.

Life after Spm is, wooooow. I made a lot of plans after Spm actually, plans of my own I mean, and one of them is to blog everyday but I didn't exactly follow any of them. I didn't really had the chance to stay at home and relax for the whole day since Spm is over, until today. And I suppose I could have a lot of rest for the next 3/4 days too. Life's good! Nah, not really rest but to actually follow my 'after-spm-schedule'. 

Guess I'll skip everything first and start with my very first oversea's trip with my friends! It's a trip me and few of my classmates decided to go since last year, when we just sort of knew each other. So let the pictures do the talking first, before I start with the really messed up part. Oh wait, the whole trip is messed up basically.

Our dorm.

Tian Tian Hainan chicken rice at Maxwell. First meal at Singapore.

Mrt station.

Orchard road.

Universal Studio.

Worn out. // Lining up.

Outside of Gardens by the bay.

Last meal in Singapore. // Bak Kut Teh

Chaos started since the beginning of the whole trip. One of my friend, ks, just realised that his passport is expiring in a month just a day before the trip. Which means he has to renew his passport the next morning but our bus is departing on 930am, which means he has to give up the RM55 he paid for the ticket and also he has to buy another ticket that evening which costs him another RM90. Also, his birth cert is kept in a safety case at somewhere far away which he has to go all the way back to take it to renew his passport. That is why there is one person missing from the picture we took at orchard road that night.

The bus stopped us at Novenna Square at around 3pm and yf's brother taught us the way back to our motel at Chinatown and also the other places we planned to go by the very convenient Mrt. By the time we reached Chinatown it started raining and we have to walk and run under the rain with our luggages while looking for our dorm, Rucksack Inn. We made a big circle around the area before we reach the dorm, not on purpose of course. The dorm is small and cozy but it's really neat. The owners are really nice too. They introduced us the chicken rice and bak kut teh we had though. 

After a little rest and also drying up ourselves a little, we went to have chicken rice at 5pm as our lunch and also considered as our dinner. Then we went back to our motel and change and off to Orchard road, and it's still raining. We celebrated yf's belated birthday and also took pictures under the rain. The rain kind of spoilt our whole plan for the night. 

We went back at around 11pm to wait for ks' arrival at Chinatown. We were so worried because he has no roaming and what if he got lost or if he has no money to pay for the taxi or if he couldn't find us or the motel. The funny part is, our meet up point is at some street, not some specific place but a whole long street. So we sat at some cafe and notice every taxi that passed by us and we wait and wait and wait. When it's like around 12am everybody started getting panic and the few of us got up to wait for him at the bus stop. Yf called the motel and they told her that he had arrived and he went out, towards the opposite direction we're at. So we went to look for him and thank god we found him! 

Day 1 is technically over.

The next day is the Universal Studio day. Will be summarising this a lot. 

So we actually have this angel mortal game. I made a coffee for my mortal that morning at the motel, but then she made one her own and I don't feel like drinking anything but water. Then my angel drank it up for me when he already had one before that. THEN, he felt really uncomfortable after that and he ended up skipping all the rides. I was really really really guilty yet I have no idea what to do at all. Luckily he felt a little better after a few hours otherwise he would have miss the fun. The another sad thing is the biggest ride of USS, Galactica something was closed that day! Yes, it's the blue and red roller coaster! My heart was like shattered into a million gazillion pieces. But oh well, had plenty of fun still. 

We went to Gardens by the bay that night too. It was out of plan actually because it was too late and we wouldn't have any public transport home but we wanted to celebrate Jaslyn's birthday so we went anyway. The whole birthday plan was out of plan too. We planned to actually put candles on the floor to form a star shape and her bf wanted to buy her something but we didn't manage to buy any of that. Everyone was a little frustrated and exhausted that night but I guess the pretty view did took our breath away and sooth our mood right then. Some of them even saw a shooting star. Not me, sadly.

NOW THE THIRD DAY. The most messed up part of the whole trip!

So our plan was to have our brunch first then go back to our motel to take our luggage and off to Novenna square to shop for the very last time and get to the bus, first coach, by 2.30pm! Very well planned.

So we went to I don't remember where to have bak kut teh at around 11am. We finished by 1pm. We somehow went into a shopping mall near there and planned to get back by 1.30pm. End up we shopped until 2pm. Then yf, pj and zj went back to our motel to take our luggage first and the rest of us went to Novenna Square to try to hold the bus in case they might ended up late. We got to the bus by 2.15pm and we waited and waited. We asked if the bus could wait a little longer, they said they could only extend another 5 minutes. It was raining. Everybody's tickets and passports are with them and we couldn't do anything. 

We just stood right there looking at the door, eagerly waiting for their arrival but nothing appears. 5 minutes went by fast, and the bus is preparing to depart. We beg and beg, but no mercy was given. We stood right in front of the bus, expecting that he would at least pity us a little but not even a glimpse was given. We just look at the bus and it gradually went off into the rain, away from our sight. A minute or 2 later they arrived. We asked if there are any tickets we could buy or maybe give us the number of the driver so he could stop for a while and let us hop in. But all tickets were sold out and they wouldn't give us his number. We naively thought that we could chase the bus so we ran off to fetch 2 cabs and off to the customs for 5 dollars sing per person. No signal of the bus along the way. 

By the time we arrived, a guard there didn't allowed us to get in and helped us to look for the bus we were looking for. While he was searching, another first coach bus arrived. We decided to hop in just to cross the Singapore customs at least. After crossing the customs we took some public bus to Johor customs for free. Then we took another public bus to Larkin Terminal for RM5. The whole journey took us more than 4 hours. We reached Larkin around 6.45pm and bought ourselves 7pm tickets to TBS for RM35. Malaysia's punctuality is contrary with Singapore's. The bus arrives at around 8pm. By the time we got back to TBS, it's 1.30am. 

So me, ks, Jaslyn and pj decided to sleepover at June's so we wouldn't have to disturb our parents. Yf has to go home and sf too because his aunt couldn't enter her own room if he doesn't. Zijian has to go home because it was his mom birthday that day.  

Everyone was really worried anyway. When we missed the bus. We were supposed to reach Bangsar by 8pm but ended up at TBS at 1.30am. Mostly because of our parents I guess. I got into trouble all the time so it was actually quite fine to me. At least we got home safely and nothing was missing. 

I'm seriously glad that it happened. Okay, I shouldn't say that, it might be better if we did manage to get into the bus. But it's a whole new experience and I like it a lot. It's from like 3 days 2 nights to 4 days 3 nights. And it's undeniable that we had a lot of fun throughout the whole journey, and most importantly experience. 

It's basically everything. I should end now.

Can't wait for more exciting trips to come with the same bunch!
