Urgh, I knew it. I knew that photo editing is time consuming. After taking about 1 hour of editing, I finally done with this one. Do credit me, I am doing this for you, dear lovely readers. #perasan.
Ok, just so you know, we (MM, sara and me) went to the city of the lion last week. We depart from KLIA via Jetstar on morning 24th Jan 2013 and return home on the night of 26th. The trip was apparently a post-exam treat for both MM and I and also, to fulfill our must-fly-twice-a-year wish list. Hehe, exagerating, no? No! =P
We booked our flight ticket, hotel and USS ticket month earlier. Well we are always good in planning when it come to this, I must say :)
We took early flight to Singapore because we have a tight schedule of plan. Okay we planned to go to Merlion, Marina Sand Bay (56th floor) and Clark Quay but we run out of time so we postpone Clark Quay to the next day.

We chose hotel which is accessible and easy to get food (halal food). So we opt for Landmark Village Hotel at Bugis Street area. It is just 5 minutes walk from Bugis MRT Stn and few steps from the famous ZamZam Restaurant. Well, ok ZamZam is famous for their jumbo size murtabak and biryani. We've tried both of them, and it was not bad. Ok la.. at least ada juga nasik kan. So basically food-wise in Singapore was not really a big problem, unless kalau nak makan dekat area town tu susah jugak la because not many halal restaurant can be found, or maybe I didn't try harder to find one? Maybe, so no offense. During our 3-days trip, we had nasi ayam, beriani, steak and nasik lemak too!

Oh in case you're curious, the reason we decided to travel by flight was we wanted to feel like a real traveler. So we have to use whatever public transportation and such. Singapore is known by it's MRT train efficiency. We're used to train back in Japan. To be frank, I have no issue to opt for train as my main transport if I am in Singapore or Japan. It's super efficient. It won't delay. And the beauty of it you can plan you journey perfectly. You won't be late.
And, for note, please be extra careful when using the escalator. It is 3x faster than what we have in Malaysia. And if you don't plan to be fast, stay on the left side to allow other people to 'climb' the escalator. Yes, they walk fast. Just like the Japanese.
Second day, we went to Universal Studio. It was fun, but I think will be more fun if Sara is 120cm tall or more. Because most of the rides are for adult and 'bigger' toddler. But anyhow, we managed to catch most of the 'ride'. We watched Waterworld (Sara takut tembak2 and hug us tightly), 4D movie at Far Far Away, Madagascar, the adventure ride at Egypt (forgotten the name), ape ntah yang pusing2 dekat transformer, and off course the merry go round. And we had lunch at Asia Foodcourt. We stayed at USS until 5 pm. Really tiring, I must say because the little girl refuse to walk. Nak dukung je. Takut dengan duck and roller coaster katanya. Ish.
We decided to talk a walk to Bugis Street that night. Just 5 minutes walk from our hotel. The place is more less like our petaling street kot, but peniaga kat situ not really aggressive. So we ended buying few Singapore t-shirt for ourselves. Sara got her I <3 SG too. And she loves it! She wants to wear it straight away (at the hotel). Buat pakai tido. Ayak, blom basuh pun baju tu.
So the last day, we wake up early, tell the hotel staff that we're gonna check out late around 6pm. They charged us SGD100 for the late check out. Ok, reasonable.
So we proceed our plan with Clark Quay and Orchard road. Hmm, naik river cruise for 40mins. Ok la. But I think the night view is more pleasant. Ceh, tak puas hati jugak.
And orchard, for me, rasanya tak pergi pun takpe. And besides, I have nothing to buy there. And not much penny to splurge, after all.
Ah it's time to pick up Sara. See ya people. Have a blessed day ;)
