last friday,i went to singapore with one of my childhood friend,faez..it was a 3days 2nights trip n involving juz da 2 of us..well,people might say that it would be so much fun to go with more companions but as for me,it's better to go in pair,as long as both of u really wanted to go rather than to go in a big group,but full with people that have been forced to go..wutever that means..huhu..anyway,we took a bus from pudu at 10am..before we depart,the driver asked me we do i want to get off,woodland or jurong east..since diz is my first visit to singapore since i was small,i wuz like ok wut the heck..i juz said the 1 nearest to the mrt station..

then da bus departed at precisely 10am..since it's a 6hours trip,i thought dat both of us will surely doze off along da way..but it didn't happen at all..instead,we were too bz talking until we arrived in johor bahru..my heart leaped when finally we could see the lion city from distance..finally we r almost there..we had to get through 2 immigrations centre..1 in jb n 1 in singapore..both r ok..but da singaporean r more aware of the h1n1 disease since they hav the gun like thing to check on every 1..luckily we r fine..we also had to fill a form that asked many things especially regarding our purpose of visit..

finally when everything's settled,we waited for the bus to take us to jurong east..but hell no..the bus isn't there..it seemed that the driver had decided to ditch us there..owh my..this isn't happening..i said to myself..juz imagine..we r both stranded in a country without no one expecting us n without knowing where to go..but i tried not to panic n look for a solution..then i saw people lining up for busses i guess..i asked 1 of them n he said that this bus is going to keranji mrt station..owh ok..so we waited n when the bus arrived,we took off..

it's juz a couple of minutes ride..upon arriving at the mrt station,again,we r like lost..dun noe wut to do..huhu..the only thing dat we knew at dat time was our target hotel is located near the kallang station..pliz note that we haven't book da hotel..so it's like a huge gamble for us..after uncovering the complexity of the mrt map system,we knew that we r going hav to transit a train before finally get to the kallang station..but hey..it's like 10stations away..gulp..well,juz go for it then..we thought..

when the train arrived,we got in..wah..it's so huge n spacious..unlike ours back home,diz 1 is so long n spacious..i think almost thousand people can get in..huhu..n it's quite fast n efficient..together with our luggage we waited in the train..i noticed that the singaporean were all like bz with their own thing..psp,handset,blackberry n of course,reading..i figured out that since they r using the train everyday,they must've search for something to fill in their time..when it' time for us to transit,i thought dat owh my..we must hav to walk for a long way or cross a road like in kl sentral..u noe,from the putra station to the monorail..but hell no..we juz had to get into another train besides..wah..how cool is dat..

after almost half an hour,finally we arrived at the kallang station..we discovered that we should return the card to the ticketing machine to get da 1dollar refund..wut a system..this will definitely get everyone to return their ticket without further question..then we begun our historic journey to our hotel..y did i say historic?..well,considering the fact dat ur going to find a place in a distant country juz by yourself,without a map or guidance..juz with an incomplete address..how cool is dat?..despite being kinda nervous,i'm kinda thrilled by the experience..

n so it begun..we played our luck juz by walking through the block of stores..we asked sum1 there,showed him the address n he told us to keep walking straight..it's lorong 20,n we only at lorong 1..so it means dat we r going to hav to walk block by block until we reached lorong 20..so we walked..so cool u noe..it's like exploring a whole new place..along the walk we discovered that this area,geylang,is not such a nice place..it's a red light district u noe..but of course we never knew bout diz before..we juz searched on the net for the budget hotel,n we found dat it's in geylang..n dat's it..

finally we found our hotel..we r so damn tired at dat time..it's almost 7pm at dat time..luckily there r still many rooms available..da rate is 63dollar per night..we paid for two nights n checked in..da room was quite ok..i mean ok la for a place to sleep only..after taking the long awaited n needed shower,we prayed,rested for a while n went out to eat..i felt so insecure because of the fact that this area was not pleasant at all..the fact dat it's a red light district area made it more horrible..so we got back to our hotel swiftly after we finished our dinner n decided to go to bed early to prepare for the next day..tomorrow will be a very long day since we will be exploring all the places in singapore..little india,chinatown,orchard road n many more..but wut happened next was so unexpected..why did i say so?..hehe..juz wait for 'a trip to singapore:part 2,the exploration..'..:P
