I know that this post should’ve been published last year but because of time and work related issues I wasn’t able to make a decent post of my travels. I will do my best to keep my travel posts updated as possible. I will probably write about last year’s adventure from time to time, so that my list of pending write ups won’t be longer.
Let’s start with last year’s Singapore adventure.
On the night of our arrival in Singapore, we went to our former colleagues’ house. Those who are based there brought some food and their xbox for us to play with. It was a nice of them to host the get together and we really had fun.
By 9pm, we need to go to Changi Airport to fetch our aunt who flew to SG via Singapore Airlines. So we left our colleagues by that time.
We stayed at Fragrance Hotel Pearl at Geylang. It was just a small room just made for sleeping. Although they have a comfortable bed, the room is a bit dirty with small ants near the tv and cupboard. Also, since we’re in a budget, we sneaked in 1 person in a 2-bedroom room. Hehehe! The receptionists are not that strict so it wasn’t a problem for us.
The main problem was the distance of the hotel from the MRT. You have to walk for about 10minutes just to reach the nearest train station. It was fine at the beginning but when you had a day’s full of activities, it’s tiring to walk that long to reach your hotel. So be careful before booking a hotel, check the location first before paying.
We settled down and had our night’s rest for the next day’s activities.
