We missed the airplane to Jakarta, forced us to buy new tickets that cost us 750rb. Anton was trapped at Singapore Custom for more than an hour, leaving me waiting outside with thousands of butterfly in my stomach. We didn't get the 12.30 ferry and the next, from Harbourfront to Batam Center so that we must take Sekupang alternative at 3.50 just 30 minutes before our departure to Jakarta, risking another flights. Cost us S$47 and rapid heartbeat.
April 8 - 10 was an amazing holiday.
This was our first trip to Singapore and planned since February. We booked the hotel 2 weeks before the date. 1st night was in Chinatown, 2nd night was at Carpenter St. very near to Clarke Quay MRT (mass rapid transportation). Funny how we spent almost 3 hours a day inside the MRT station.We had the famous Char Kwee Tiauw for our dinner, it appeared to be the same as the one in Indonesia. For breakfast, we went to Little India and ordered Roti Prata. Weird.. how we ate bread with Gule Kambing. hahahaha.. Then I bought souvenirs in Chinatown.
Our favorite drink during our stay was Teh Tarik for 80 cents. And for the last dinner we met Denny at Suntec City and ahead to Lau Pa Sat, one of the famous food center in Singapore. We had Pokpiah, Clamp Fried Rice, and Carrot Cake. Strange that there was actually no carrot at all. Thank you for the amazing dinner, Den.
The Famous Merlion
Fully loaded, we walked and took some pictures in front of Merlion and Esplanade Theater. I barely could not feel my legs, but we enjoyed it much. In nutshell, I admired the cleanliness and efficiency of Singapore, thanks to the discipline attitude of the residence and regulation of local authority. Hope Indonesia someday can be like that.
clean and efficient? it'll take a LOOOOOONG WHILE. but hopefully it will.
