The Lion City Trip Third Version

12-12-2009

Today we woke up late again. We took cab to Maxwell Road from Paya Lebar. We took the picture of a temple of Budda's teeth. We had our brunch in a vegetarian restaurant.

After the brunch, we walked along the Chinatown in Singapore. We bought souvenirs for our friends in Malaysia. Then, we walked from Chinatown to Merlion Park. We saw many beautiful buildings. We went up to a building named One George Street Building to view the Marina Bay. It's wonderful and pretty.

After that, we continued our walking to Esplanade via Fullerton Hotel. It's beautiful the Fullerton Hotel. Before we reached Fullerton hotel, we took many funny photos in the Chulia Street (Bank Street of Singapore).
There is a big bird decoration and a worth million human body with helmet.

After Merlion Park, we went to Esplanade, The Art Underpass and Raffles City. Then, we walked along to Bugis Junction and Bugis Street to visit temple of Bugis.

During the night time, we went to Geylang to see the mini culture of Singapore.

Lion City Trip Second Version

11-12-2009

Today was late wake up. We went to eat lunch in a hawker centre near to Sembawang. After that, we was heading to Singapore Zoo. It's been 14 years I didn't stepped into Singapore Zoo. I miss some animals there.

We paid S$25 each person for the entry which included tram and boat riding. It's quite expensive for us who coming from Malaysia. That's because the exchange rate from Ringgit to Dollar is very high. (S$1 = RM2.45)

When I stepped in the Singapore Zoo. I saw my Barn Buddy's cow. It's very funny, we took picture with the cow, actually it's a fake cow. My purpose for coming to Singapore Zoo is to visit the Polar Bear which couldn't find in Malaysia yet. Singapore Zoo also will have another 2 pandas which borrowed by China government and will exhibit in year of 2012.

At first, we went to the toilet and snatch the toilet picture because it's toilet in a forest. After that, we went to visit the killer of Singapore Zoo, the white tiger. One of the tigers killed a man who jumped into the exhibition place. Then, we took the boat to another venue.

After the boat ride, we went to visit some monkeys and chimpanzees. It's funny one of the male chimpanzees was jumping all the time and very noisy. After that, we went to visit crocodiles in Sungei Buaya . I could see the big mouth of the crocodile which swam in the water. I saw 2 special crocodiles with long mouth.

After Sungei Buaya, we went to see some small animals. After the small and tiny animals, we saw a giant in Singapore Zoo. It's giant tortoise. The giant tortoises are really big in size, really scary if you can find some in outside of the zoo.

They like to tease me in the Snake Garden. I am the one who frighten of the snakes all the times. Jaguar is a very beautiful animal which appeared in the first animal of Cat Country. I could see Cheetah, Puma, Leopard and Lions in the Cat Country. After the Cat Country, we went to see those animals from Africa, such as giraffes, zebras, ostrich and rhinoceroses.

I miss the polar bears of Singapore Zoo. Polar bears in Singapore Zoo have an 24 hours air-conditioner cave for them to rest. There is another 3.5m man-made pond for them too. It's wonderful if you can see the polar bears in the tropical weather. The last animal we saw was the long nose monkey.

After zoo, we went to Orchard Road to see those beautiful and wonderful lights of Christmas.



The decorations of Orchard Road were awesome. We walked along the Orchard Road. After Orchard walk, we had our steamboat.

I stepped on the Lion City today..

10-12-2009
I arrived the island Nation at the south of Malaysia, Singapore or we called her Lion City. I departed from Penang International Airport at 9.30a.m. and landed in Changi Airport Terminal 1 at 10.40a.m..

Today I ate the famous Nasi Lemak in Changi Village and the Chui Guo (a kind of kuih of Chinese.). After that, we went to Sentosa Island. I visited the Underwater World of Singapore which had been visited 14 years ago when I follow my primary school trip. Today I saw something I missed in the past time. It's really fun!

Then, we went to walk along in Sisolo Beach. There are busy preparing the 12 hours nonstop Beach Party at 12-12-2009 from 8p.m. to 8a.m.. That's why I can't take the picture of SISOLO well.

I had tried the Skyride and Lugeride which is exciting. It's quite fun and exciting when I took the Skyride which is only a chair and 4 floors ahead the land. I was so afraid when the 1st time I sat on the chair. The lugeride also give me another adventure which brought me to challenge myself. We took them twice and I was regret cause didn't buy the 3 times package. :-P
