Trip to Singapore

Yeah, we travelled down to JB and to Singapore on the last week of December 2010. I would have say it is a nice break from work since for the whole month of Dec I was really busy.

We stayed at this new hotel in Tmn U - Hotel Q. I have no idea why hotels in Tmn U ended up with only one alphabet. Is that the latest trend ? I already saw Hotel U somewhere down the road, and this Hotel Q stood on where the "old and previous" Bersatu Jaya was. If you guys had been to Tmn U from those days before Jusco was built, you'll know that the only "shopping complex" in Tmn U is Bersatu Jaya, apart from Skudai Parade, which is kinda far from Tmn U (at least according to a student's budget at that time).

This Hotel Q had just been operating from 3 months. Very new indeed. We took a King-Size bedroom, so it was spacious and Daniel was practically running up and down. The only thing that we don't really like was the bed, which was hard, and I tell you, I could feel all those springs when I lie down on it. Well, what do you expect ? Hotel business around Tmn U is more of those budget purpose kind, not even a 3-star hotel.

We arrived about 5pm, coz in the morning we had to pick up Daniel's passport (which I will blog about it later), had our bath and off we went for our dinner. I always love eating at Tmn U coz there are plenty of choices. Ordered chee cheong fun for Daniel, me and mummy had pandan nasi lemak (which I think wasnt as nice as the first time I ate back in 2001).

Then we went over to Tmn Daya, where my aunty stayed, coz mummy and Lai Yenn will be staying there. Took the old road - Pasir Gudang and we were stuck for an hour in the jam. Went back to Tmn U using the new highway - much easier and faster, though have to pay RM2.10. Is ok I guess, as long as we can get back to the bed as fast as possible.

The next morn, we took a bus to Singapore. Wanted to go to Universal Studio Singapore in Sentosa, but as the ticket was full, all we can do was only to walk outside. Mummy and Aunty and Egbert spent time in the casino, while me, Daniel and Lai Yenn walked around the Waterfront, went up to the cable car, took the monorail to Vivo City and back to Waterfront.

Didn't take much photo though coz was busy looking after Daniel. You know how active a 2-year old boy is now. And is kinda tiring carrying him all the time. But I hope he had fun. I loved watching him play at the water fountain. His expression was just priceless. But me and Egbert's experience wasn't very good. The jam, both on the road and at Singapore Immigration Counter was too long. It was a total of 6 hours just for travelling and immigration. Next time, we will fly in, instead of using a bus.

Meanwhile, here are some captions that I took during our trip:

Looks like there is a serious need to "look better" in the coming year. I looked so "old" and so "worn out". My god.... Life has really taken a toll on me...
