A Really Unforgettable Trip to Singapore (Really, really..)

I have wrote so many about 'your unforgettable experience in your life' in primary and secondary schools. The teachers even have contoh karangan for us to memorize so we can have something to write in exam if the question asks so. Even they do not, students like us still can write based solely on imagination and psycho our mind to try react in that so-called 'unforgettable experience', e.g wake up late to school then miss bus, scold by teacher, after school rainy day, go back with the body all wet or visit a beach on a sunny day, father read newspaper, mother prepares food, sister, brother and I swim then suddenly see somebody drowning etc.. Some of the experiences I mentioned above may be true, they may be your most unforgettable experience in your entire life but if it is not, without yourself really experiencing them, they are meaningless, no matter how well your imaginations and word of expressions are.

It happened 5 days ago when I went Singapore with my family. We did not go on purposely, just wanting to send my younger brother back to his college. Monday would be his school reopen day. I have went to this place twice, this trip would be the third time. Before going into details, let's have Singapore at a glance.



We often relate Singapore to the name of this country. The correct name should be the Republic of Singapore. Singapore is only the capital of it. ^^ R.O Singapore is an island and islets in the heart of Southeast Asia, between Malaysia and Indonesia. As we know, Chinese is the majority 76.8%, followed by Malay 13.9%, Indian 7.9%, and other races 1.4%. Wa its area of 682.7 sq km is smaller than that of Penang 404 sq km! Oh ya, the currency on that day was $S1 to RM2.31 if I was not mistaken.


In Malaysia, I often hear people saying that Singapore Government is very strict with its laws, rules and regulations. No chewing gums, no littering, no hawking, whatever 'NO' in their laws, please do not try to work against it! Argh!! And on that day I finally 'tasted' and witnessed the power of their laws!!
So there were two things that made my trip unforgettable: 1st World Cup 2nd Singapore laws =.=

The first place we went is Sentosa Resorts World. Oh we went by bus. Paiseh to say la, it is only the few times I traveled with bus. In KL, because almost all places can be reached by KTM, Monorail and LRT, so the number of times left for buses is therefore 'countable'. XD

In Singapore, bus stations are more cleaner, manageable and comfortable. See, all are being scheduled properly. All you need is to line up in the row for each respective destination.

But the name of a place in Singapore is quite funny ^^

Hamisu Ang Mo Kio pulak? 'Ang Mo Kio' in Hokkien refers to brinjal le =)
Probably most Chinese in Singapore speaks Hokkien.

I felt weird not seeing even a half hawker to sell drinks in bus station to thirsty people like me. Hmm...

Oh, Because of this!! OMG

Wow, double Decker to our destination.

Fuiyoh, female driver neh =P

The taxi driver still need work meh got car like this liao? =.=!

Malaysia de bus got this bo?

The only temple I saw. Too bad the bus moved too fast.

Signboard. Blur @.@


So many polytechnic geh?

After changing so many buses, finally we arrived!!

The first thing I saw is Casino!!

So many people wanted to go in leh!!

I was so eager to go in but I am still under-aged T.T

My parents & grandparents went in, leaving 4 of us outside. Immediately I felt excited,

Because of this! World Cup fever~ I was imagining hundreds to thousands of people shouting here that night in watching Uruguay vs South Korea & USA vs Ghana!

Wohoo~~ Big Screen+ Beers + Comfortable seats and sure many leng lui to kap de neh =P

Usually people like me who love football always hope to get my friends who also have fanatical interest in football to watch football matches together, drinking, shouting and jumping here and there for each supported team. And especially watching it with big crowd!!

The night will be a good chance! But too bad when Germany vs England kick off, I think I will still in my journey back to KL T.T Miss this golden chance to watch this fantastic match with many many hot hot de Ang Mor lo.. Haiz..





The 32 teams flag. Felt happy to see these flags being arranged like this =D

Portugal, Christiano Ronaldo!

Paraguay, Santa Cruz?!

I think this is Mexico. Because I saw cactus there XD

Argentina or Greece? One is in quarter final, another one is out from group stage.

Brasil , one of the favorites.

Every team needs the Giant!! Go Go Torres! Please do not leave South Afrika without a goal!

What's inside?

They are showing Saturday's night match: Uruguay vs South Korea.

Koreans players are very patriotic, see!

They played very well, dominated but..

Final Result: 2-1.

Too bad Japan and South Korea could not end Asia's South American jinx.

Japan is knocked out after penalty shoot-out by Paraguay, 3-5.

The employee there said they watched the match on live and wrote the results down immediately after the referee blown the final whistle.

Wa, then mai everyday is sleepless and restless for football fans in this resorts?

Inside view- Many televisions.

Beautiful but expensive.

This was interesting- Live betting! The last 16.

Trying to figure out how to bet..

WOW $.$

So many ways of placing your bets!! You can even predict how many goals scored.

Can bet half time and full time score too! So creative to earn people's money lo..



Hope to visit here again!

The return journey will forever live in my memoris. Because in Singapore, you must always behave like Singaporean. Be obedient XD

Woodlands Checkpoint, a very beautiful building it is. And because of it, I suddenly turned from an university student to terrorists?!

Don't forget, no camera allowed inside and OUTSIDE! OMG, it was just outside and I did not notice it.

And I took a photograph of the outside view before entering the checkpoint. A police guard or whatever stopped me and seized my camera. He pointed to the warning signboard and with utter rude de voice and tone asking for my passport. Of course I gave him. My mother saw this and was trying to explain to him. I forgot what the fuck he told us, I just felt like giving him a punch because his attitude is just MCB rude and 'not reasonable'.

Let me try illustrate his fuckface, I think one word is enough: Yong Sui, really yong sui 凸

Yes, I admitted I was wrong to take the photo of the building without noticing the warning, but after that I followed all his instructions, gave him my camera and passport, waiting for 'further punishment, maybe "Or Kong" or whatever, yet he was yelling like a caveman to my mother and I by telling nonsense. He was actually like ugut-ing us. Just like "If we don't, then we will what.." Walau eh. Come on lo, see what you can do.

Soon, he reported my case to his other colleagues using walkie-talkie. His voice was terrible so I did not pay much attention to their conversations. Immediately, another two police forces approached. These two looked better than the sohai. And nicer too.


I was brought to 'Singapore Police Force' in the checkpoint. They looked really kan cheung, checking my passport thoroughly, calling here and there, and start accusing me as a terrorist!! I supposed Singapore forces and soldiers were coming too. Then, I think they were bringing me to their head. I was correct, he was a Chinese. He spoke Mandarin.

They all looked rather unkind at first, but after finished 'identifying my identity', they suddenly became 'kind'. The Chinese advised me not to take photo again next time in checkpoint. They are so sensitive but responsible, I actually felt great of their works because they carried their responsibilities to protect their country perfectly, in case there were other terrorists leh lol, but not the sohai, not the sohai at the entrance.


When I reclaimed my passport and camera until I left the checkpoint, I was being watched.


All these police forces were superb, what they done were just like what we watched in Bourne Ultimatum, haha =)

Only if I am a real terrorist.

If I am, I will first use M-16 to shoot the sohai at the entrance until there are countless holes in his body.

or

I will kidnap and tied bombs around his body. Then let him ask for help for couples of minutes and explode him.

Wohoo~~

I will forever wish that he is a Pak Guard at the entrance, no chance of getting any promotion to higher position, so that next time I visit Singapore, I can lansi him by walking in front of him without CAMERA!!!
