Travelling in Singapore

So my summer break has begun! Woohoo! To start off my summer break, I went on a budget holiday last week with my travel partner to sunny Singapore. It has been 8 years since I stepped on the land of Singapore and wowwwwza so much have changed since then! Spent 4 days and 3 nights to travel on this island which is sufficient enough unless you are planning to spend a few days in Universal Studios (which we did not went to coz we went to the one in Hollywood last year & most of the rides were the same in Singapore).

STAY

We were staying at Superb Hostel at Bugis which was the cheapest hostel that we could find that have rooms that are not shared with strangers however bathrooms have to be shared. The room has a bunk bed which could fit 3 persons and it only costs us about RM620 (210SGD) for 3 nights. The room was kinda small but it is not bad for that kinda price! The hostel is clean and service is good as well. The hostel was only 5mins walk away from Bugis MRT station.

TRANSPORT

We bought a 3 days tourist pass at the MRT station for only 20SGD that provide us unlimited travel on MRT, LRT and bus. It's a really good deal I would say! Transportation is really good in SG. Everywhere is easily accessible by MRT and bus.

1st Day

Walked around Bugis area on our first day. Went to Haji Lane which has a lot of cafes and cute little shops that sells cute stuffs. Look out for street art too! Went shopping at Bugis Junction, Bugis+ & Bugis Street. I LOVE LOVE LOVE BUGIS STREET. All the good and cheap foods and clothes are there. Definitely a must go place in SG. I really prefer to shop around Bugis than in KL lol. So many varieties here and many shops selling fashionable clothes at a reasonable price. Dinner was at Albert Hawker Centre at Bugis. Many good food over there!

2nd Day

Went to see Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands and the Merlion. Was supposed to woke up early to go to Kusu Island to see the famous temple (1hr away by ferry from SG) but we woke up late!! NOOO.... Went to look at the SuperTrees at Gardens by the Bay in the afternoon and came back to enter the 2 domes( Flower Dome and Cloud Forest) at night and watched the amazing light show. Admission is SGD28 but we bought cheaper tickets at the airport for only SGD26. Lunch was in Bugis Junction. Our dinner was at Lau Pa Sat, a famous historic hawker centre in Downtown. Choosing what to eat is always a problem for me here. Hehe too many food to try.

So Avatar-ish.

Marina Bay Sands at night!

Beautiful right? How I wish I could go up to that ship :( you have to be one of their hotel guest to be allowed up there.

The waterfall on the other side of this greens looks magical.

If you are a ~~science nerd~~ like me, u would notice the ATCG along the walkway.

The Merlion

You can see tourists opening their mouths over there. Hahaha

3rd Day

Sentosa Island day! I always love the beach hehe. There are so many things to do here --> USS, S.E.A. Aquarium, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Dolphin Island, Trick Eye Museum. We only went to S.E.A. Aquarium. Tickets were SGD32 each. There are 3 beaches in Sentosa Island which are Pahlawan, Siloso & Tanjung Beach to dip dip. Siloso beach was kinda small and you could see ship vessels in the sea. And here we ended our short trip with good food at Lau Pa Sat again the next morning and went back to KL by Aeroline.
