HOLIDAY ON MERLION ISLAND

MERLION?HALF MERMAID?HALF LION?

Hurray...exam just finish and my friends and i were planning for a trip to Singapore...this is our first time though...jacoon really...but its an exciting time to plan all about it

Our exam finishes on the 13th of june....we were in the college's foyer discussing about the trip..until we realised its too late to plan for it...haiz...however..we were craving for that trip so i thought i draw up the plan-

MISSION TO SINGAPORE: NOT PREPARED ,DO ANYTHING TO ACCOMPLISH ANTHING, BY TOUCHDOWN

Oh surely!!...the meaning of this was to go there and see what we can do...its seems a bad idea..its like doing everything on the spot...moreover the 4 days we have chosen to enjoy was actually a convention period for business purposes...guess what...all hotels were fully book..those who,like us,find it very hard to get a hotel...but thats the only 4 days which we can go.....

Anyway..this time around Singapore is giving great discount for Malaysians who visit their country, $1=rm1, very worth it ooooo

We leaved Puduraya at exactly 12pm on the 19th..it was a monday..took a konsortium bus..and depart to JOHOR BHARU..its was beautiful afternoon..beautiful weather..today's plan was actualy in staying at a friend's house in JB..hehe..his place rox..near to Jaya Jusco(approximately 5 min driving)..that day, we went to eat Jb famous KU KUA TANG-bittergourd soup...it was mouth watering..haha...and of course..we were also planning for the activities in Singapore....

On the 14th, at 8 in the morning, we were all ready to leave for Singapore...our friend's driver fetch us to the customs of Malaysia..we pass the Singapore customs..and we headed for the bus in Singapore..we reached ORCHARD ROAD at 12pm in the afternoon..so we went to look for a hotel..bad luck..no room for 6 of us..we were astonish of our situation..but there were no surprise for me as we had been forwarned of the convention period..so we started calling hotels throough brochure and fliers

At 3 pm..luck happens..a hotel by the name of tropical inn in chinatown is willing to accept us..Hah..damn lucky..so we rushed towards the hotel from orchard road..its took 30 min in a taxi(Taxis in Singapore were bound by the strict rules imposed on them,basic-$ 2.50 additional 1km-$0.50 ),unlike Malaysia,whom always slaughter price....

TROPICAL INN-wow..a hotel like no other..haha..only $90 a night for a room...so we book 2

rooms-3boys and 3 girls..it was illuminating .....

by nightfall, we were hungry and tired of all the hastle we gone through

you-know-what..in Chinatown street..they were famous for their the Maxwell

Food Court...so we went there to feast..haha...

The very next morning the boys were woken up by the girls..this time we were going to all the interesting places in Singapore....so we took the Cable Car and go tooooooooo-

SENTOSA ISLAND-the first place we went is the luge and skyride..it was awesome..luge

rocks..its like a go-kart racing but there's no fuel usage, electric-powered

..that is really a momentary thrill of experinced...skyride was seeing the

scenery on a higher angle..so we sat on a bench and it takes us high above

the ground...

-later we went to the Underwater world ..cool..touch the stinkrays..real

chill man..however many of my friends were afraid to touch it ..LOL..and

there is the lobsters and fishes from all over the world....best of all..it was

the Dugong-endangered species...we were shocked to see it oi...

-Dolphin world...this comes free when you purchase an underwaterworld

ticket...see the dolphin splash and play with the trainer..yay..

Later..we went looking for food and found a cafe near the dolphin place...the

food sux..haha..its true...afte that. we went walking around the island...it was

great...we actually wanted to ride on the bicycle for pleasure..but my best

friend did not want to..so we didnt ride...CRY

We went back to the hotel after spending 1 whole day in Sentosa island..it was almost late at night though..(8pm i guess)

We went to Clarke Quay later..it was a sudden decision...a place of pubs and bistro..wah..damn hot the girls there hehehe..all adults coming out to have fun after work..there we ate in Haagen dazz...it rox..we love it..(the ice cream was too cold and hard to bite)..haha..but it was nice overall..

Well..after a while..we then thought we should enjoy ourselves too...so we went to drink

IN THE PUB-we went drinking and we were approached by a young lady in her mid 30s...she offered us a gin(a kind of wine)..it cost $10...

We went back at 1 in the middle of the night..luckily none of us got drunk...we wwere all asleep by then haha...too tired liao....

The very next morning we were all also woken by the girls..honestly the boys cant get up...we were suppose to visit the ZOO...and so we did...

We paid for the entrance fees only...not including the tram service..as we want to enjoy the walking experienced in such a large zoo

We started walking and looking at all the interesting animlas in the zoo..kangaroos, hippopotamus..ostrich..monkeys..sea otter...et cetera

Upon these visits, i would like to share some live experienced with some of the animals with you

Interesting facts-when hippopotamus yawn..they are actually showing affections..

-the red baboons(monkeys) having sex in front of the us looking-they really

arent shy yeah

-coming across the monkey by the name SAKI-MONKEY

-the fish Arowana can grow to the size of 4 human beings

-Crocodile reared by Steve Arwin -by the name False Gharial

-The most poisonous land snake by the name taipan

Moral of the lesson-yawning is actually showing affection

-dont have sex in front of people

Moreover, there are some shows presented to the customers of the zoo..which is The Elephant show-featuring the Asia elephants...we watched the elephants carryinglogs with their strong trunk and breaking coconut shells with their feet...remarkable arent it

Later,we went to see the zoo's most precious animals they ever had, these animals cn only be found in the south or north pole...lets welcome the Polar Bear ....

At long last, the final day has come...we woke up late..even when the girls had already poke us up...and this is the worst thing of all...we miss the bus at 12pm..we were just late for 5 min and the bus just left without us....so we had to drag our luggage from Singapore to JB bus station ........there we took a bus directly from JB to KL puduraya...the girls arent happy with us...of course...but ....oh well

HOWEVER, WE ENJOYED THE TRIP THOROUGHLY...REJOICE AND HAVE FUN READING THIS STORY..THANK YOU
