Singapore High

So I spent total of 6 days in Singapore but in reality only got to go around the city much less than that as I had to work for four of those days. On those days, however, I'd still go out after work to meet friends or simply explored the city on my own.

On Day 2 of my Singapore trip, silly me forgot to bring the camera. I met up with Arnold, H's friend. Because of him, I had my first Sing MRT ride! Yay! :) Not too different from our MRT in HK, except that they give refunds if you return your ticket. Nice. haha. From City Hall station, we got off at Orchard and had dinner at the Ion Orchard, one of the newest malls along orchard road. I love that Singapore is abundant with food courts. Yay to lots and lots of choices of cheap, yummy food! :)

For the 3rd night, I went on the Singapore Flyer...on my own! Yes, on my own. For those who don't know, the Singapore Flyer is a "giant observation wheel" which is actually more like a giant ferris wheel. It's actually 2 meters higher than the London Eye! I thought I was going to be alone in the capsule but good thing it was big enough to carry more than 10 people.

The view from the top was amazing. Eventhough I was getting dizzy as we reached the top - especially as the hyper kids who were also in the capsule kept on shouting "we're at the top! we're at the top" - I was glad I didn't back out of this "touristy-must-do" item on the list! :)
