3rd Day in Xin Jia Po (Singapore): Don't Get Wet, Get Lost. [Part 2]

Setelah di cerita sebelumnya kami kehujanan begitu keluar dari Mustafa, gambaran makan kari di Little India sambil menikmati indahnya sinar mentari pun luntur #yha terhapus lebatnya hujan. Okay. I love you, rainy day! I really do, but not that day. Semoga kali lain ke SG hari cerah berawan tak mendung. For people like us who traveled by foot (a lot), rain is such a bother (really). Hujan angin yang payung pun kadang nggak cukup buat menghadang... lumayan juga kemarin sepatu dan baju jadi korban.

Kembali ke hari itu. Akhirnya kami beli mi instan dalam cup di minimarket terdekat (lagi) dan nyeduh di lobi hotel. Hujan masih setia turun di luar sana saat kami mulai berpikir, harus ke mana selanjutnya. Gitta mau pergi ke Orchard Road, belanja buat mamanya, dan gue? I didn't feel like going to Orchard. I don't really like crowd. I don't really like shopping. So, Orchard isn't my style. Akhirnya gue dan Gitta memutuskan buat pergi masing-masing. Gue bakal bosen banget buat menghabiskan sisa hari itu di hostel. It was such a waste to spend the rest of the day doing nothing, apalagi cuma karena hujan. Bobo cantik mah di rumah sendiri juga bisa. Jadi, gue akhirnya memutuskan untuk pergi ke Alexandra Road. I need to check on the location of the church I'll attend on the next day and after that, well... maybe back to the hostel or exploring Chinatown for a bit. Itu rencana gue sebelum gue naik MRT, dan apa yang terjadi setelahnya? Bacalah~

3rd Day in Xin Jia Po (Singapore): Museum Tour & Chocolate Hunting [PART 1]

part of National Museum of Singapore

We started our third day a bit late. I haven't told you before that on the second day, we walked for more than 28.000 steps!!! Much... for people who rarely walk by foot in their own hometown lol. So, well, we felt a bit tired.

For the third day, we decided to pay Singapore City Gallery a visit once again and National Museum of Singapore. Also, we want to go to Little India area to buy souvenirs and lunch.

Short Getaway: Singapore (January 19th - 22nd, 2017)

Merlion Park

I went to Singapore last week. Actually, it was an unplanned trip. I just wanted to use my passport once before it expired. I have never been travelling overseas, so when I want to go somewhere without visa, I immediately think I should go to the nearest country from Indonesia, Singapore. The plane ticket to Singapore isn't as expensive as the other countries and sometimes if you're lucky enough, you can get promo ticket. I planned this trip in December and decided to invite my friend, Gitta, to come with me since she went there for few times. Luckily, she said she'd like to go. So... yeah... we finally bought the airplane tickets and booked the hostel.

We decided to book the ticket for January 19th and January 22nd. We booked our ticket from Traveloka and got promo price (I think) from Tiger Air. After thinking about where to stay, Gitta suggested a hostel in Chinatown called Adler Hostel, we read the information in Agoda website and it turned out we picked the right hostel. I definitely recommend this hostel to others who wants to stay in Singapore, especially to those who likes to go on backpacking. We booked the female-only room and we've got internet connection also breakfast during our stay :)

So, on January 19th, Gitta and I met at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in the morning even though our flight took time in 11.30 A.M. We've got chit-chatting for hours and again planned where to go. When it's time to board on, the sky turned a bit cloudy and it rained for a bit. I was worried for a little while since I've got headache the last time I rode on an airplane in a not-so-good weather.

Taken before flight

Thanks God, the rain stopped and the weather was good up there. Got a nice flight and safely arrived in Changi Airport! :)

Too bad, I couldn't snap moments in Changi because we were hungry and all that we want was finding our hostel as soon as possible. So, we went straight to the MRT Ticket Machine to reload our transportation card but things happened and I ended up buying a new card for SGD 12 (around IDR 113.000). Well, actually my friend suggested me to buy Singapore Tourist Pass (STP) but we didn't buy it. Hm, I can't really say if STP is cheaper for me because I didn't travel a lot here, and we didn't manage to get on the bus. But if you plan to go here and there, STP is cheaper.

After reloading our transportation card, we rode the MRT and went straight to Chinatown. This was my first time riding on subway so, it was such an interesting experience for me :D

I'll tell more in the next post about the places we've visited, the food, and maybe our expense. See you around :)
