Happiness side from singapore

Finally, after a super duper long time, I have time to write this blog again :) And... here is my story in Singapore, continued the previous post.

Anually in my major, DKV, there's study tour to another country such as Singapore to learn about their design, especially in sign system, campaign, and multimedia. Actually it's up to ourselves, that we want to go or not. If we really want to go, our lecturers will accompany us with pleasure. So, in the end, after a long discussion, we decide to go there with flight promo from Air Asia in different schedules.

And.... because we wanted the lowest price, we chose the earliest flight (about at 6 am indonesia time) and we had to wait for the lastest flight (about 1.30 pm singapore time). The point was we had to wait about 7 hours. 7 HOURS IN CHANGI AIRPORT.

We walked surrounding the changi airport. Literally all of part in changi we had looked.

The earliest people who arrived at airport (at 4.30 am indonesia time)


waiting.....waiting.....waiting.....


Finally, it's 1.30 pm (singapore time) WOHOOOOO! we started our (sweet escape) trip!
First, we went to our hostel in Jalan Besar. after check in bla bla bla, we went to lunch then to orchard road. we had free time at orchard. Mostly of my friends went shopping. Me and some decided to eat ice cream 1$ without any expectations in front of mall, which has lion or dragon statue (not really remember). AND THAT's DELICIOUS. really! recommended! :D

weird name for street, right?

errrr.. I hate cuncun who covered this view :(

then.... suddenly, my friend, cuncun had an (SUPER DUPER FUNNY) accident. hahahha his sandals broke cause trampled by other friend, asing. LOL :D


When the others were shopping, we got another stuff that is more special ;)
On 2nd day, we went to URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) Centre, Singapore City Gallery, Red Dot Museum (unfortunately it's closed :( ), China Town, Marina Bay, and IKEA for last destination. then after IKEA we had free time. Mostly of us went back to Orchard. URA and Singapore City Gallery is a museum which consists about historical of urban planning in Singapore. Its tell us how's Singapore time by time. In China town there's a temple of chinese and many places to buy souvenirs (with low price).

In Marina Bay, after through a luxurious mall we can see a lot of skycraper buildings, then ride a boat to another places. IKEA is a place like ace hardware which sells cute and creative household appliances, and there's foodcourt here with delicious swedish meatballs.

Before back to hostel, me and some friends went to Mustafa near hostel. Mustafa is like a settlement of India. there's a huge supermarket which sell everything. literally everything :o. in 1 place you can get electronics, sandals, shoes, shirts, snacks, etc. the most popular from here is chocolate for souvenir.

And on 3rd day, we went to National Museum of Singapore (muzium kebangsaan Singapura in malay), Berasbasah (buy some design books), last dinner at Marina, and Clark Quay.

National Museum of Singapore is a museum which contains the history of Singapore. "Why are there many ethnic in Singapore?" This museum can answer this question well.

In here, we rode almost all of vehicles. first, we rode TWO giant roller coaster (battlestar galactica), which could boost our adrenaline. then we rode transformer which has an awesome 4d technology, mummy returns (roller coaster with 4d technology too), jurassic park which like rafting with jurassic park diorama, and shrek 4d film. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to play in madagascar, because the showtime was same as Shrek's.
