Singapore: Day 1 (A)

Date: 18 Nov 2007

I woke up beaming...

See? All smiles in the car with my sister. I think my sister is really happy that I'm leaving... Haha... finally no one to disturb her :p

The whole family accompanied me to the bus station at the Old Railway Station.

We took the PLUSliner (Nice Bus) to Singapore. The coach was expensive, cozy and nice with a little more than enough space for a person to relax :)
OKAY!!! I admit! (coz I feel guilty) Skyler and I weren't suppose to be taking this executive bus down to Singapore, only our Bosses have the luxury for that. We actually did not have a choice because we bought the bus tickets last minute (Nice Buss was the last resort) and there were no other economical buses left (due to the school holidays season) So future INTERNS, book your bus tickets earlier if Boss were to send you to Singapore or Penang. Sorry Boss (for letting us go this time)! Thank you boss (for not getting mad about it)!

They served us tea and kuih while we waited for the bus to arrive.

Then they served us this (below) when we were in the bus.



I was snapping a lot of pictures in the bus until it came to a point where I turned to Skyler and said:
I think my camera batteries gonna die before I reach Singapore.
Why? Have you been camwore-ing?
Kinda. It's pretty boring and the movies have finish.
Hey! Camwore sounds so porn!!!

It's really boring okayyy... sitting in the bus for 6 hours!
And the movie that they were showing was pretty boring too.

The bus stopped at the restroom about 4 times wei!!! No wander we took so long to reach Singapore.

( I want a GENTleman:p )

At the Malaysian immigrant:The Officer in charged looked at my passport photo and said:
You look different in the picture...
Oh? Please tell me I look prettier in real person :)

I'm sooo gonna get use to people telling me that I look different from my pictures.

We finally reach Singapore about 2pm. Stopped at Copthorne Orchird and waited for Ming to pick us up.

Ming turned out to be a nice person. Cheeky too. Although he can be a very OCB (Obsessive Compulsive Boss)

Okay, he took us to check in at Perak Lodge (A Private Guess House). Honestly, I felt awkward at that name, Perak is a city in Malaysia AND I mean... I came all the way to Singapore to stay at Perak Lodge?

But in case you guys are going to Singapore and still thinking of where spend the night, Perak Lodge would be a good pick :)

Add: 12 Perak Road, 208122, Singapore
Tel: (65) 296 9072

We checked out the suite :) that we were brought to. It's really big! There were 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and another living room in the middle separating the 2 bedrooms.

I got the smaller bedroom... -.-

and the double bedroom was taken by Skyler when she made her way into the room first and pointed at the bed saying "I want this room!"

After dumping our luggages aside (...and I've taken all the photos that I wanted) we then, visited the Nuffnang's office and headed to Vivo Complex.

(cont...)

P.s.: Singapore is so CLEAN. -.- Sooo unlike Malaysia!!!

Kay Kastum: Singapore office smaller OKAY!!! I soooo appreciate KL office more, after I visited the Singapore one. Haha... Yeah, had fun... more updates on the fun on later posts :)
Batteries ALMOST kong only la... haven't die YET.


Cheahway: Erm... not THAT clean la... but i prefer to kiss a guy more than the street. No wander my lips that DRY, haven't been having mouth exercise for quite some time already. haha...

Eew... rats... disgusting! although I've never encountered those dead rats first hand (in tv got la) i still find it gross. Haha... that reminded me of Ratatouille where all the rats group at the kitchen and cook meals for people to eat :p

oh, the tickets, book on the same day that he ask you to go down la... we bought the tickets like 1 day before the actual day we were suppose to go down (too late to book already :p )

sorry la... i cannot give you a super important answer! I didn't try ANY pastries when I was there. haha..

liyiesther.C said...

oh forgot to answer your OTHER question, currently there are 4 interns in the office.

Jasonmumbles said...

Assuming that Nuffnang is paying for the bus ticket, would Boss still be angry if you top up the remaining balance to take the Plusliner?

Hehe. Very short skirt there. :P Nice legs. LOL.

I think Perak Lodge because Perak was one of the few clients that Nuffnang managed to secured, right? Hehe!
