Easter Break

As the title said, I am currently on my holidays break. 

This reminds me when I had my first single adventure to Singapore. Was it 2008/09?? hmmm... I couldnt remember the year I went there. Oh well, whatever. :p

Family and friends always asking me the same old question that I heard since I was a teenager: Don't you feel afraid when travel alone? my reply to them is still the same until now: NO

I don't know you guys but in my case I would use this rational reasons:

1. I am excited to see and explore outside the box, so why do I have to be afraid of?

 

2. If you are REALLY excited, do you even need someone when youre travelling?

 

3. Travelling is fun with the lots of people in a group. BUT that would slow your speed as well. I can go anywhere and everywhere I want without being restricted. 

 

4. I learnt a lot if I am off to travel alone

 

5. I can be more independant and can be much stronger (mentally and physically)

 

My first journey experience... I was there for a week. I leanrt their lifestyles, their foods, their people and I learnt the foreigner behaviours as well. Singapore is a small counrty with lots of buildings surrounding. I could say during my visit there, Singapore's safety is excellent. I'm not afraid walking at night when I was there. It was totally new world for me, it was an amazing experience. 

That was when I discovered my another trait: I remembered the streets/sturctures of the things I passed by after the first time I looked at it. The first time I used the MRT, I was excited. Although I knew nothing, I just randomnly get into that and looked at my map and decided where would I go. Upon returning, I walked off to my hotel instead. I observed the streets that I went before and link it with the current street I am now to get the idea how to off back to the hotel. It was really pleasure to be able to reached my hotel back :)

The foreigner that I was saying before, is actually not a real foreigner tourist. It is actually more like foreign workers and I HATE them. Bangladesh workers. I will tell you why I hate this particular race. Family friend of us is Singaporean and he told us how peaceful Singapore was before the arrival of these people. He said some streets were no longer that safe (it is still safe but not as safe as it was in the past). He mentioned that ways before I went to Singapore. This was what happened: It was sunny that time and I wore singlet with jeans together with my backpack went to have a walk at Bugis Street. Upon my returning back from there, there was this Bangla pervert greeted me. I noticed he was not actually looking at me but he was looking at my breasts. Fuck the bastard. While greeting me (with the eyes glared at my breasts) he said: can we be friends? I was so pissed off but since we were in the middle of the streets and many people around that time I was not that worried. Instead I said to that fucking bastard: NO. He was really persistent and kept on followed me. I left him while he was busy talking to me (mind you, it was full of people that time). He was in front of me and while we were walking I stopped while he was still moving and I turned my way to other way round. Fucking Bastard. 

This is the pattern of the singlet I wore:

Tell me, will this aggitate a guy? damn him. fucking bastard. by the way, my singlet colour was dark green

That was the only bad experience I had when I was there. So if you want to travel to anywhere, go to open/public place where people are all around. If you happen to get similar experience like me and if you are in panic state, just scream. People surrounding you will be alert and help you. Since I can handle pretty much that kind of people, so I was not screaming. But if he was being more persistent any further, I would not hesitate to scream. 

 

Overall I LOVE Singapore and I would definitely visit that country again! 

 

I went to Sentosa via MRT and again hoop off via bus to reach the Sentosa. I am not beach loving type of person and plus I dont know whats the value of spending time at the beach. Still without knowing what Sentosa mainly was, I just went there. Unfortunately for me that time it was cloudy and not long afterwards it was raining heavily. I was a bit dissapointed but what I could see during my tour at Sentosa was that it has many beaches with lots of hunks around. There was this performance that I wanted to watch (I think that was the only reason why I went there in the first place). It was 'The Mermaid' performance I guess but since I was too tired, I couldnt wait for that and hence I returned to my hotel early. 

 

You guys might have wondered why I didnt do any checkups about Singapore or places that you should visit. I am truly not into checking things since I love surprises. I love the feelings of excitement and surprises. Too much expectant would leads to huge dissapointment if its not what you expected it to be.  And to be honest, this trip was fully sponsored by mum. hehehe 

 

Mum is unpredictable type of person. When she said yes into something it was really a sudden decision. For example when we were really tired back home, she said: Lets go to picnic. me and brother asked: when? and she said: NOW. The atmosphere that time was really quiet. Same thing goes to this trip. I told her I was bored because we had freaking 2 weeks break, she just said this to me: Why dont you just go to Singapore instead for 2 weeks? I was astonished. and she said to me: Go there by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Originally it was supposedly to be 2 weeks holidays but I thought 1 week should be fine so thats when everything started.

By the way....... I know how to take trains but not buses! I really dont like bus ><
