heyya..now let's continue with part 2,the exploration..well,it's saturday n we woke up early..6.30am i guess..of course early..i wouldn't want to waste my precious time here on the bed ain't i?..dat's wut i thought..after getting ready,drafted our plan for that day,we headed away to the city..we discovered that actually we had walked a station away..y did i say so?..yesterday we stopped at kallang mrt station n walked to our hotel from there..but actually the nearest to our hotel is the aljunied station..which 1 station away..wah..but it's fine..at least we got to explore the area rite?..heheh..so we walked to the aljunied station..which is like a quarter from our walk yeaterday..

upon arriving at the station,we were kinda blur..coz there were too many places to go n we were like didn't noe where to start..n so we decided to ask one of the staff there..unlike our staff,who will usually snap at u or be angry at u for asking a simple question,this guy was hell of a nice guy..he did his best ot explain to us on where to go n wut to do..where can we get a good food,where can we shop n the most important thing,where is the raffles statue,the merlion n where is the central business district..coz for me,this trip would be for nothing if we didn't get to go to those places..

but first,he asked us to get our ticket for the return journey to kl asap coz it might be sold out n we might hav to stay for another day or else..so according to him,it is vital to get hold of the ticket home first,n then only we would be able to plan our journey nicely..n so we did that..we went to the lavender mrt station n headed for the ticket counter..we asked a local there n he said that the ticket counter is situated at the golden mile mall n it's a 15minutes walk from there..wah..another journey..but it's k..we r traveler now ain't we?..n so we walked..walked n walked..through the suburban of singapore..this is what i've always want actually..a real exploration..not with the tour guide or wutever..but on our own..huhu..managed to snap some pictures there..after purchasing our ticket,which cost us 30dollar each,we fled to raffles station..it's where the raffles statue,merlion,the esplanade n the central business district r..

upon arriving at the raffles station,again we didn't noe where to head to..so we asked a local again..this is time a shopkeeper..as usual,with friendly face he helped us n even gave us a free map..wah..n so we begun our journey across the lion city..we got to chevron housen managed to take sum pictures..wah..the whole area is like a great great modern city..well,after having to crawl along the slump geylang area n lavender,finally we r here..the central business district of singapore..i've been dreaming to be here since i was small..or young..n finally i'm here..yeah!!..n so we walked..n walked..n took more n more pictures..of ourselves,of the area n many more..i felt so happy n thrilled..eventhough that it's so hot n we r thirsty like hell,it doesn't matter..but we sure did underestimate two things..transport n drinks..coz we had to spend quite a lot on both of these..but it's ok..we can manage..or so we thought..huhu..after we found the raffles statue n the merlion,we decided to walk our way to the esplanade,it's like the sydney opera house but it's more cool i think..with the durian like ceiling..then we took a lot more pictures n my friend,faez received a phone call..it's from his relative residing here in singapore..it's his mother's brother's wife's sister..complex isn't it?..huhu..she wanted to meet us at the masjid sultan near the arab street..

i wuz like,ok y not..so we went to the wut we thought the nearest mrt station to that place named little india..upon arriving there,we discovered that we had to walk n walk for approximately 20minutes..wah..again,another journey..but as usual,we wouldn't mind coz this is wut it's all about..a trip..or an exploration..or a holiday..for me,i like to travel..especially to explore a distant place..be it a city or else..n so we walked..when we finally arrived at the masjid sultan,we were already damn tired n almost faint..but we still force ourselves n told ourselves that it's going to be ok..after meeting faez's relative,we'll be fine maybe..n be able to finish our journey across singapore..well,were we?..will we be fine?..let's see bout that in a trip to singapore:part 3,the turning point..:P..
