Singapore - Day 3

We woke up around 7AM. Although I just had 4 hours of sleep I needed to clean up and get ready for another day ahead of us. After we had our breakfast and before we checked out of the hotel, I was able to take some snap shots of our room. This was supposed to be taken on our first night but due to a very tiring travel, I was not able to take any.

we check-out of the hotel and just left our things at the reception. We were set to explore the streets of Bugis. We are just minutes away from the stores and malls in Bugis were we bought our pasalubongs.

While walking towards Bugis Village we came across a familiar name.

Bugis Village is like Greenhills. We just looked around the area and just came back later after we had lunch.

There was one store that really caught my attention. The store was beside another store who sells garments for kids.

Just across Bugis Village is the Bugis Junction. It was like a Glorietta Mall.

Here are some of the photos I took inside Bugis Junction before a Security officer told me that it is not allowed to do so.

We planned to have our lunch at Crystal Jade , famous for there Xiao Long Bao. But we opted to try Honguo Restaurant. Due to the recommendation of our friend, we ordered chicken fried rice. It was really good, too bad the don't served single serving of it.

After lunch, we just bought some more pasalubong at Giordano and Bossini. Thanks to the Great Singapore sale, we were able to buy more stuff for less price.

We returned to Bugis Village and bought some key chains and some more t-shirts for pasalubong. There were really a lot of people during that time.

After we bought our pasalubong, we walked back to the hotel and tried one of there 1-SGD Ice Cream with waffer.

Before we got our things, we just walked around the Waterloo Street near the SEA hotel.

After we fixed our things, we took a taxi going to Changi Airport. We needed to wait before we were able to check-in. We had our dinner Burger King, my wife wanted to have a heavy meal before another 3 hours flight back home.

After dinner, I had the opportunity to take pictures inside the airport.

We boarded at around 9Pm and arrived at NAIA 3 just past midnight.

Hope you enjoyed having these adventures in Singapore with us.

Till next time. Ciao.

Singapore - Day 2 (Part 1 of 2)

Adjusting to Singapore's time, we woke up around 7AM. Although we are on the same time zone like here in the Philippines, It feels really different. The day was still gloomy. Why does it always rain during daytime?

Since we are not in hurry today, I was able to take some pictures of the breakfast served in SEA Hotel.

Today's schedule is probably my favorite for this whole vacation. The kid inside of me wants to play with Shrek and donkey. I think you're visit here in Singapore is not complete without you having to enjoy the thrill and excitement of one of the premier theme park, the Universal Studios Singapore.

We left the hotel at around 9AM and took a taxi to Vivo City. We needed to take the MRT in going to USS. The MRT ride was just short and we get off at Waterfront Station.

The gates of USS was just a few minutes walk from the station. Good thing that we already purchased our tickets the line going inside was shorter. Upon entering the theme park we immediately rent out a stroller for my daughter. We plan to stay for the whole day to be able to enjoy as many rides and entertainment that we could get.

First stop was the King Julien’s Beach Party-Go-Round®.Its a merry-go-around with characters from the movie Madagascar. We needed to leave our things at the entrance of the ride. At first I was hesitant because I am not used to living my things. But my wife told me that it was alright to leave our things.

After our King julien's ride, we were supposed to have lunch but instead we watched the Musical Play Monster Rock™ at Pantages Hollywood Theater®. We just had our lunch after the play.

We had our lunch at Loui’s NY Pizza Parlor®. We ordered Family Combo for just 52.80 SGD, consisting of 20" Pizza, 4 regular drinks and 2 orders of soup. We just added an order of Spaghetti Meat balls (with 6 meatballs, yum! yum!).

After paying for our meal, we saw Bettlejuice. Looks like our daughter does not like him.

While waiting for our order. Rockafellas (Streetboys) started performing near the restaurant. We rushed towards them and was able to be in front of the crowd. While watching them dance, you can't help but sway to their music. I miss those days. ehem. ehem.

After lunch, we proceeded next to Lights, Camera, Action!™ Hosted by Steven Spielberg, where we watched how movies was made in the US. We entered to a room , where an introduction about the attraction was made. After which we headed to an adjacent room. It was like a mini studio where we could experience first hand how movies are somewhat made. It was a scene where the a certain building near the sea was hit by a hurricane. Fire broke out. Steel beams falling from the ceiling. Walls collapsing. Chaos was everywhere. I did not dare pull out "DASH" during the entire production. After the take, everything started coming in to places again as if nothing happened. By the time a pulled out "DASH" it was over. But the production like scene was very good. You should definitely try it.

After we left Lights, Camera, Action!™, we noticed there was a performance my the cast of the Madagascar at the capitol place near Loui’s NY Pizza Parlor. We been unable to catch the whole performance but were able to have our pictures taken with some of the mascots.

We also met Marilyn Monroe.

There is so many thing that happened during this trip. More of the USS trip on the next entry.
