Travel Around Singapore (3 - 5 Nov 2007)

Before you start your journey in Singapore, you should get yourself an EZ-Link card which can be used for taking MRT and buses in Singapore where the MRT and buses are very convenient to reach most of the places of interest in Singapore. I actually went to Singapore on 1st Nov for working as my company's Headquarter is in Singapore. I went there by taking Aeroline bus from the Corus Hotel. Boon went to Singapore on 3rd Nov which was a Saturday for accompanying me and at the same time for travelling as well. :-P He went there by taking Konsortium bus from Pudu Raya, Kuala Lumpur. The bus reached a place called Golden Mile in Singapore. In this period we were in Singapore, we tried different food at different places and we explored to new things too. Honestly, the food in Singapore not really nice or perhaps we haven't able to find any nice food to eat. :-P What we realized was Singapore is a very safe country compared to Malaysia and we like its MRT system. We really don't understand why Malaysia cannot implement the LRT system as Singapore did?
Sunset View at Harbourfront Take North East Line (Purple Line) MRT to Harbourfront station. Follow the signboard to Vivo City. Take the escalator to the highest level of the Vivo City which is an open air park. From there you can see the view of the harbour, cable cars and Sentosa Island.	Night View at Clarke Quay Riverside Take North East Line (Purple Line) MRT to Clarke Quay station. Follow the signboard to Boat Quay and River Quay. Clarke Quay is a very happening place. It's located at a beautiful river side. It has Reverse Bungy Jump game, restaurants on the boat, pubs and bars, ect. My colleague introduced me to a pub named "1 Nite Stand" where it has the best band in the city known as "Six in the City". I quite enjoyed their performance.
Chinatown Indian Temple	Chinatown Market
Take North East Line (Purple Line) MRT to Chinatown station. Chinatown (Niu Che Shui) has many shopping centres and food courts. You can enjoy eating in Chinatown. As its name, Chinatown has a lot of China style buildings. If you walked around the Chinatown, you can see there is an Indian Temple and a small mosque named Masjid Jamae. Next to the Indian Temple is Chinatown Market which is similar with Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street. There is a Singapore Tourism Centre in the middle of the market where we got some flyers about Singapore there.

Others Photos Taken
I was working on 5th Nov, Monday. So Boon was alone travelling in Singapore that day to take photos around. The day was hot. He got minor sick after whole day travelling in the city. Poor him! The next day, we took Konsortium bus from Golden Mile back to Kuala Lumpur.
