Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is just 5 hours of trip by bus. If you prefer to take a flight, then it will take only 45 mins of your time.

We arrived at Singapore around 2pm and after settling everything, we met up with my cousin at Bugis street. This is their General Ticketing Machine and surprisingly, there are no counters for you to line up to buy tickets. All ticketing process are done through this machine. Also, notice that their MRT has discount. Get an Ezylink card and you will have special discount for every of your trip. Sometimes you will even see 61 cents, 56 cents...sounds odd rite. Anyway, all that matter is the discounts!! Hahaha...

This is Bugis Street. A street that is famous with its makan stalls, shopping stalls and this place is like our Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur. Take extra careful of your belongings here because there are all sorts of people lingering around at this area.

After meeting up with my cousin for dinner, we were heading to River Cruise at Clarke Quay. My cousin bought for us their famous Old Chang Kee curry puff and it was super delicious with an egg in the middle of potatoes and chicken. Yummy...slurpp!!

This map was like our *savior* and wherever we go, we will never miss this out!

Clarke Quay and Riverside Point..
Housed in a cluster of old godowns at the base of Fort Canning Park, Clarke Quay has just undergone a refurbishment, making it one of the city’s best nightlife options. Its here where you’ll find Singapore’s only fulltime comedy club (One Nite Stand) as well as cuisines ranging from Chinese, Indian, Western, Indonesian and Seafood.

Clarke Quay also has a range of bars, pubs, and live music venues to make it a great place to spend your evening. Also, check across the river at Riverside Point where you’ll find a nice bunch of restaurants and bars. I can say that only rich bugs will hang out in this place. *grins

After our river cruise, it's time to go home and there's a kind reminder for everyone who is taking the MRT.
It says that ,"Value Life. Act Responsibly!". "Hargai Nyawa! Bertindak dengan tanggungjawab!".
I think this should apply to all high rise condos and apartments as well rite.

The next day, our plan is to Sentosa Island. We were cheated by the description when we bought our tickets for the cable car. Glass cable car and normal cable car just look the same! Don't ever get cheated by the descriptions saying that Glass cable car offers a better view because the cable car is fully made by glass. In fact, that's not true. They just look the same with slight difference. That's all! So, dun pay extra for this.

In the cable car heading towards Sentosa Island.. the journey costs bout 12 minutes only.

Time to buy tickets.. thanks Justin! Hahaha...

Imbiah Lookout ...
Situated near Mount Imbiah on Sentosa, Imbiah Lookout is the latest cluster of new and exciting attractions that will appeal to all. Adventure-seeker, nature lover, history-buff…whatever your calling, there is always something fun and exhilarating for everyone to experience.

Romantic Jazz by the beach? Couples.. dun miss out this!!

Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom...
Massive beetle on our top.. Gosh!!
Stroll through the lush surrounds of the Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom and allow 1,500 live butterflies – from over 50 species – to flutter about you as you enjoy the cool outdoor conservatory.

Watch the blossoming of new life at the Live Pupae house or admire up to 3,000 species of the world's most beautiful and rare insects, which includes the largest Dynastes Hercules beetle ever recorded – all 160mm of it!

Underwater world...
The Underwater World oceanarium on Sentosa is home to more than 2,500 fishes from 250 different species. Start your tour with the Touch Pool for some 'hands on' experience with starfish, stingrays and if you dare, baby sharks. Then venture into the ocean depths via a moving travellator that ferries you through an 83-metre-long acrylic tunnel. All around you, sharks, stingrays, eels and schools of fish glide past – engrossed in their own world. For those who don't mind getting wet, interactive programmes such as 'Dive with the Sharks' or 'Dive with the Dugong' are available upon advance booking.

The journey began at this point... more to go!!

I can't remember what fish is this.. erm.. pic enough la hoh..

And this is sea horse...

Let's welcome Jelly fish.. watch out the way they *swim. Kinda special.. haha.

Guess what is this? Looks evil rite.. haha. In fact it was the shark's face!!

Huge Japanese Giant Spider Crab.. wanna cook assam pedas with this? Haha...

Scary ler... don't ever go diving! Super dangerous..

Welcome to Dolphin Lagoon... You'll get to observe the highly intelligent Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins through a series of interactive, feeding and training sessions specially designed to demonstrate their natural ability of tail-walking synchronization.

Sesat peacock at Dolphin Lagoon. "'@.@

He just loves it when I sayang him this way.. :P

The pinky dolphin seemed to welcoming the visitors.. First time I got to see a dolphin right in front of my eyes!

If you wanna have a shot with the dolphins, then prepare SGD10 in your pocket (=
Anyway, treat it as a charity for their Dolphin Lagoon management.

Bollywood style? *grins*

Acting like Raffles..

Huge Esplanade just right at the back... it was damn tiring when we walked up and down the street finding where's the Esplanade and Merlion. Fuh..

Great place for paktoring huh?!

The Esplanade is a waterfront location just north of the mouth of the Singapore River in downtown Singapore. It is primarily occupied by the Esplanade Park, and was the venue where one of Singapore's largest congregation of satay outlets until their relocation to Clarke Quay as a result of the construction of a major performance arts venue, the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, which took its name from this location.

The baby Merlion...

The Merlion..
The merlion is a statue with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Its name comes from a portmanteau of mermaid and lion. The merlion was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board in 1964 and was used as its logo up to 1997. The Merlion continues to be its trademark symbol.
You cannot afford to miss out this Merlion in your collections of photos.

Free Banana Java Chip at Bugis Street... happy to the max cause I was quite thirsty at that time!

Finally, this shall be our last entertainment at Singapore. The zoo is much more better than the one we have in Malaysia.

Ever wish to get married in a zoo with all the monkeys and orang utans hanging around? Haha..
You can make a choice here.. :)

Crocodile is nothing to us .. ehe.

A pure tourist from Malaysia.. haha.

Lazy kangaroo..

Yoh.. these baboons look eerie. I can see that the husband and wife are so loving, they scratch for one another, korek kutu for one another and chase one another for ***.. lolz. Haha..

Do you know that elephants hate chilli? Here's the fact...

Guess what skeleton is this.. hope you do get it right.

A cute and wetty otter on ground.. This is what I like about Singapore zoo, you can really see the animals close to your eye balls and sometimes if you're lucky, you can even touch them!

Fake or real otter??

Beware of this.. World's Most Venomuos Land Snake..

No Feeding but yes for touching.. haha.

I cannot remember what species is this ler.. too bad. Haih..

And this too.. anyone had an idea what animal is this?

White tiger resting in peace... wonder why tigers always have this kind of pose.

This animal looks scary huh.. but it loves to play with humans. That's the fun part of it!!

Babi Bodoh .. hahahahaha.

Wow, I love this picture very very much!! Kiss from a sea lion.. I love it!!!

He got a loving kiss too... (=

Man made animals from gras.. great huh?

Time to say goodbye.. visit you animals on 20 December 2007. Chiaoz...

Dinner buffet with my cousin at Thai Restaurant.. Only SGD19.90. Cheap rite, if you don't convert to malaysia ringgit.

No more space for extra food.. they should offer a bigger table!!!!
