~ HELLO NEIGHBOUR ~

Thanks God for having granted my wish
for a
vacation with family.
This is really a great holiday!! I enjoyed it very much!!


Few days before Eid Mubarak holiday, I see Tiger Airways ads in the internet .
They offer a cheap flight to Singapore.
I immediately asked my father for having a family vacation.
And he agreed.
I immediately call my brother in Jogjakarta to ask him to leave
from his office for 3 days. Thanks God, his leave was approved.
I booked the flight immediately and arrange the accommodation, etc. etc.
We travel from 10 - 14 September 2011.

When we are there..
First day
We arrived in Singapore around 12:00 PM and it's raining there.
So we took a cab to our apartment.
Thanks God it's not raining in our apartment area.
We stay in Pacific Mansion (06-08) on River Valley Close Street.
After we check-in, we have lunch at The Hand Burger in 313 Somerset.
The burger is so delicious!! You guys should try it.
My favorite menu is The Work.
After lunch, we go to Mount Elizabeth Hospital to make an
appointment for my little sister.
After that, we go shopping at Forever 21.
We buy some clothes and sun glasses!
Its noon already! And our auntie wants to join us.
After Auntie Sheilla came, we go to Bugis Junction to shopping again!
I got one pink polka-dot dress and I love it!
After tired of shopping, we take away chicken rice for our late dinner
in our nice apartment.

Second day

We go to church near our apartment to have our Sunday mass.
The English mass at The Church of St. Bernadette is at 09:30 AM.
After the mass, we go to Great World City to have lunch with dad's friend;
Mr. James Wong. We ate at the food court and I buy my favorite
Korean BBQ food. After meals, me, my little sister and my brother looking around
in that mall, and we buy some delicious chocolate at The Chocolate Factory and
buy some candy and Hello Kitty Pocky.
After that, we go to our IKEA Tampines to buy quilt and its cover.
THANKS DAD!! Then we have our dinner with our uncle's family
in the seafood restaurant near Buangkok MRT.
The food is so nice. We ate a lot that night!!
THANKS UNCLE NYO!!

Third day
Early in the morning, our dad have to go with his friend to see his factory
while me and my siblings prepare ourselves to go to
Universal Studio Singapore!
Our dad would catch up to Universal Studio as well.
We buy some breads and a bun for our breakfast at 7 eleven.
After we arrive at Vivo City, we take the express MRT to the USS.
We arrived around 11:00 AM and our dad arrived around 11:30 AM.
We spend the whole day in here and we have a good time!
On the way home, I buy almond caramel popcorn at Garreth Popcorn.
The popcorn is so nice! You guys should try it too.
Last but not least, we have our dinner at Food Republic, its a food court
in Vivo City Mall.

Forth day
We wake up in the morning, prepare ourselves to go to Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
We want to take a bus from Singapore, but we don't know from where.
I just know from Beach Rd. near Bugis.
We take a lot of time to search the bus station and finally..
we return to the first place.
Finally the bus is come and we ride it immediately.
We arrive in Johor Bahru around 12:00 PM.
After my brother done with his business there, we have lunch at our
favorite sushi restaurant; SUSHI KING!
After lunch, we hurried back to Singapore because we have to
check out from our apartment and move to the hotel.
Me and my father back to the apartment, clean our things and do the check out.
The others go straight to the hotel and wait for us there.
Around 05:00 PM me and my father arrive at Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
And our room is not ready. We already arrive late and the room still not ready.
Luckily because of that the hotel upgraded our room from deluxe room to
the club room with city view on the 46th floor!
The room is so nice and so big. We got our king and queen size bed.
And we got our bathtub!
Thanks God! After do the check-in, we go to the Sands Sky-Park on the 57th floor
to swimming. But because it's going to rain, we are not allowed to swim.
So we just take a couple of photos then go back to our room to prepare ourselves
to watch The Lion King Musical Show.
The show start at 08:00 PM in The Marina Bay Sands Theater.
The show is awesome!! I like it very much.. I always love Disney.
If there's a chance in another time, I want to watch it again.
After the show, we have our dinner in the food court because
it's the only place still open.
Then we have a walk in the outside before we go back to our room and sleep.

Last day
Because yesterday we can't swim and at 11:00 AM we already have to check out,
so we wake up early in the morning to swim and try the swimming pool.
But my little sister is to tired to wake up, so she choose to sleep.
We spend the whole morning at the Sands Sky-Park.
After we check-out, my father and my little sister have to go to Mount Elizabeth
hospital to do the check up. Me, my brother and my big sister with Uncle Nyo
go to TripleOne Somerset to meet Ms. Angela, one of my dad's friend.
We have lunch at Fukuichi, its a Japanese restaurant. Around 01:00 PM, my father
and my little sister joined us. And Auntie Sheilla joined us as well.
We have a great lunch and a great time.
Because we don't have any much time left at 03:00 PM, we already have to go.
We go to ION to buy some gift for our uncle and auntie in Jakarta.
Then we go to Marina Bay Sands to take our luggage and
take the shuttle bus from there to the airport; budget terminal.
Thanks God we arrived on time.
We do the check in, do the GST refund and have our last meals.

It's been a really great holiday time.
Especially with my family.
Thanks God for all the blessing when we are there.
Thanks for everything.


WE SHOULD DO THIS MORE OFTEN DAD!!

First time rafting!



My brother is going back to Jakarta for his Eid Mubarak holiday!
Welcome home brother.. It's so happy to have you here..
My father have an idea that we go to camping for this long holiday..
So we decided to go to Arus Liar..
The camping ground and the atmosphere is so nice!!
We stay for 2 days and 1 nights..
The first day at the camping, the place is very quite, no one there except us!!
So it's like we have got our private camping ground..
We have a nice dinner with nice weather..
At the next day, we go rafting together..
We divided into three groups; my big sister with his boyfriend
my little sister with my dad and me with my brother..
This is my first time playing rafting and its pretty tired..
Because we came on summer, so the water level in rivers is so low..
So we often get stuck on the rock..
But it's still a great family and holiday time!!
I enjoyed it very much..

HAPPY HOLIDAY EVERYBODY!!
Hope you guys have a great one too..
