Wanderlust.

Holidays started decades ago and finally it's my turn to go for a vacation.

Planned to visit Japan but too bad the time crashed with my interview and I could no longer join the trip. :(

I got green eyes seeing everybody go travelling through social media but I could only stuck at home, doing nothing.

So luckily I got this short getaway to our neighbor country Singapore.

Visiting Singa-land not really satisfy my desire in travelling since the country is so near to me it is not considered overseas and I've been there for so many times, but oklahokalah better than none huh!

So, I am here!

It is our pleasure to have such lovely aunt as a dedicate and great teacher. Due to her responsible attitude in her job last century, her long-lost-contact-student invited her to Singapore and offer her to stay in Marina Bay Sands! And brother and I taking advantage of this precious opportunity to go along. Whee!

This seems to be my push to be a great teacher like my aunt too! 

*Really feel proud to have a great-teacher-aunt*

Checked in Sands Suite in Tower 1.

The room is really huge with a separated living room and dining room outside.

TWG tea and Nespresso served!

Not to forget the huge bathroom is love.

I guess nobody could hide the excitement to stay in this luxurious room?
*Please forgive my over-excitement perhaps? Imma kampung girl XD*

And the brother and I went exploring the hotel.

The lobby eating site.

The view from 57th floor.

The brother and I.

The stunning SkyPark Infinity Pool.
The sky started to get dark and we went back to the Suite to have our steamboat dinner there.

And a little bit of red wine.

All of us decided to visit Gardens by the Bay which is just opposite the hotel but too bad it started raining.

I decided to come swimming.

It was super damn cold to swim at 57th floor rooftop pool after a heavy rain. The wind made my teeth shaking and the whole body shivering. I was praying hard don't fall into another flu when I was swimming.

The view from the rooftop pool is superb.

And we didn't miss the chance to visit the casino in midnight.

I spent $10 to gamble for fun but too bad I lose. :(
Back to sleep at 2.30am.

What welcomes my eyes the next morning!

I was bathed in the brilliant sunlight. Blissful. :)

The sunshine lit up our living room generously.

Morning view by the pool.
Had our breakfast at Sky on 57.

Breakfast kicked off a brand new morning.
I didn't know each person could order two sets of food when I took this plate.
Greedy cat insisted to do the order.

Ramen.

My dream. Benedict eggs!!

The scenery.

The brother ordered Omelette and Chef's special Pork Beehoon whereas I had my Benedict eggs and Ramen.
I was surprised by my stomach that I swallowed my two sets of food in. #fatdieme

And I had another cup of latte into my stomach.
Gosh, I was like a pregnant lady after this heavy breakfast.

The Xmas tree in the lobby.
We then paid our visit to Gardens by the Bay to minimize my guilt of eating too much. Ha!

Marina Bay Sands.

That wind.

Patterns.

I couldn't deny the brother is a good photographer.

 With the aunt.

The bees. The flowers. The nectar.

That was how we spent our blissful morning.
Had a simple lunch and another student of my aunt brought us to Somerset 313 to have Bingsu!
Crave for Bingsu for a long time and this was my first time having it.
I was really blessed. :)

Injeolmi Bingsu

Choco Brownie Bingsu

Strolled in Bugis Junction at night.

Caroling.
Happy girl bought 2 dress and my favoy matcha latte and Korean rice sweets.

It was really tiring these 2 days, roadtrip and walking around.
So we decided to sleep for the whole day.
Battery recharged and let's chillax at night.
We went to Orchard Road to see the X'mas deco.

 And back to Marina Bay to visit Gardens by the Bay again.

Marina Bay Sands at night.

Gorgeous building which looked like firecracker.

Before.

After.

When I was taking photo,

it started snowing!!

It was kinda weird to see the snow under such hot weather.

It was super crowded.

 With the aunt.

Me.
New dress Yay!
That called another day.

The next morning, we decided to visit the famous temple in Bugis.

And afterwards we had gathering and BBQ at aunt's student's condo at Pasir Ris.

It was really good to see a bunch of old friends gathered together. Though it was ages they didn't meet and contact with each other, there wasn't any awkward feelings. They crapped and laughed like nobody business. I secretly pray that there is this one day for me and my primary school friends, secondary school friends and also IPG mates to gather again and travel again.

Time flies and it came to the last day of my Singapore trip.

We bid goodbye to lao-gor.

There are a lot of my friends who don't like Singapore, but I am at the opposite site.
Singapore is the country I adore the most.
The safety, the public transport, the living style and all.
Though it isn't my mother land, it is very familiar to me.
So needless to mention that I will visit soon again, no doubt.
It's time to back to practicing my calligraphy.
Ciao!
