Singapore Trip

I was in Singapore for 4 days on April and the highlight of my trip was of course... drums rolling ... Universal Studio! Yes, I heard about the very unfortunate news about Battlestar Galactica, it has been closed temporarily due to technical problems and certain sections like Madagascar was not ready yet. However, I had been looking forward so much to visit the studio that I think would explode if I postponed my trip any longer. The only problem was I forgot to bring my camera... no.... I had to rely solely on my mobile phone.

I stayed at Studio M Hotel on Nanson road. Not to be confused with M Hotel on Anson Road, this is a new hotel which is about 15 minutes walking distance from Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay. My taxi driver was not even aware of the new hotel and almost took us to M Hotel! No doubt the design and decoration is very modern and edgy, but honestly it is not very practical. There is a shower and a toilet. The shower was overflowed with water each time I bathe and the toilet was really small. There was a beam above the bed and I knocked my head a few times while trying to get into my bed.  Ouch!


Universal Studio!!!

The price for 1-Day Pass is SGD 66.00 for adult (Age 13-64), SGD 48.00 for child (age 4-12) and SGD 32.00 for senior citizen (Age 65 and above). It is open from monday to sunday, 10am to 7pm.



Some famous characters on the streets...

Trip to Cherating Beach in Kuantan, Pahang

Went for a 3D2N trip at Cherating Beach in Kuantan, Pahang, which is about 4 to 5 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur. I stayed at Legend Resort and with my new blackberry bold, I snapped some really beautiful scenic photos that I am sure anyone of you will be delighted to see.


Some of the tourist attractions available such as turtle watching, jungle trekking, coconut plucking by monkeys and night market. According to the receptionist, these places are around 20 minutes away from the resort.


 Who can resist from jumping into this swimming pool?


Serene skies and bright blue sea.


This is a BBQ place beside the sea, great view!


Dropped by a shop selling salted fish, dried squid, keropok (crackers) and many other yummy but ahem.... unhealthy snacks hehe... on the way home.


If you love the sun and calm beaches, it will be a nice place to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic city.
