My Trip to Singapore. PART 3.


Took some more photos from the temple that we stopped at.


Seriously, I love the surroundings of Singapore. I wouldn't mind walking from point A to point B if the surroundings of the Philippines is like this!

I mean, LOOK AT THE GUY!!! Dressed for the office and holding a cellphone. Do that here in the Phils and there's a chance you could get mugged. Back here, it's caution zone everywhere.


Leaving China Town.


Another temple, Indian this time..I think?





The air in Singapore is nice as well. No doubt that having lots of these trees help their surroundings look AND feel better. We try to plant stuff, but they die. No one probably takes care of them or maybe the pollution is just so CRAZY. :(


Next destination. WEALTH: Jewelry Industries.
NO. NOT THE SUPERCARS. :))


This one is apparently hand-made. Look closer and it's filled with jades. This artwork is WAAAYYY TALLER THAN ME BTW.


ME IN LITTLE INDIA! :))


My brother walkin down Little India.


This one was shot by the waist/on the waist/ or something like that. =))


The Yvan Rodic in me is showing. =))

Cute buildings!


One of their busses.


They seriously have cool architecture too! This one is a hospital. It's kinda weird though that they have a hospital just for women or something like that. But, cool. Macau have CRAAAZYY ARCHITECTURE but Singapore has cool ones. :>


This guy is cool.
I want his bike btw.
I have a thing with motorbikes.
I like them.
But I'm scared to ride one.
But I would love to learn how to ride one of those and eventually own one. :D DREAM IN LIFE!


I think he's cool okay! Although I think he's on the job at that moment. *Zooms in on his nametag*


This one is cool! The tour bus was moving and I just clicked away and when I looked, I got this! I WAS DEFINITELY SURPRISED. :))


Spot the longboarder!! OOHHH MAN, I'M SO JEALLOUUSS. When I saw them, I instantly wanted to have a longboard. My yearning was crushed three years ago. Money problems crushed it apparently. :(


They have cool art "sculptures" all over the city as well. It's nice to see cool art as you walk by. It refreshes the eyes I guess.


Look what I found. Sadly, I was on the bus then. :| BUTTTT!!! THIS WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY FROM OUR HOTEL.
I was with old people so I wasn't able to get into the store. :|


AND WE'RE BACK FROM OUR HOTEL. POOPED. This is the ceiling of the lobby. That night though, my brother and I grabbed our maps and went out for a journey. My mom stayed with our other companions while we went out for a fun journey.

We weren't satisfied with just the tour. We wanted to see the city itself so we walked. Problem was, time ran fast and so we had to walk fast. We only got to one mall that night and we bought all of our "pasalubongs" there. It was awesome. I think the mall was called Far East Mall or something like that. I really forgot. One thing I do know is that when we got back to the hotel, our feet were aching. DEADZ. XD

PS. I HAVE NEW STOCKS FOR MY THRIFT STORE AND I WILL BE POSTING THEM SOON!

My Trip to Singapore. PART 2.



Anyone who knows me knows that I have an awesome ninang(godmother)! :D She's a fierce ninang who wears boots! :)) She got sick because she stressed out a lot on things, her brain got "damaged" in some way because of that and now, all she does is travel. It surprises me how fast she walks when we were in Singapore. Maybe it's because she's been there like 4 TIMES ALREADY (!!!) or maybe it's the fact that she drinks her meds in the morning.


A bus stop. :)) When we arrived at like, 12 in the morning, we got to the reception area and I saw an Indian named Kamel (pronounced as KAMAL) and I was shocked. But then I realized that Indians are everywhere in Singapore, it weirded me out at first because I wasn't expecting such a huge percentage of Indians in the S'pore community. I just thought of Singapore as a huge melting pot of different cultures just like New York which is like 10 points for that swagger! :))))



Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this one is their Australian version of the Sydney Opera House thingymajiggy. :))



ALIENS ARE ATTACKING US!!!!

NAHHH, JUST KIDDING. That UFO thingy behind this neoclassical designed building is (I THINK) their Supreme Court which is like, MAJOR BADASS-NESS! :))



Under the Bridge.



ME... NEXT TO THE BATHROOM SIGN. :/ =))


Yvan Rodic style, no? =))


MINI MERLION!



My momma, she's touching the water because they said that if you touch the water, it will bring you some good luck. I refused to touch it because I might slip at the pool of water at the foot of the Merlion. :)) MINUS 5 REBEL POINTS FOR THAT!



Momma on a phonecall from the Philippines AND the GIANT MERLION!






This is a column from one of China Town's temples (I think), took a photo of it because it looks so cool.



One of their gods, methinks? Scary looking though.




This is also a god.


I LOVE SINGAPORE FOR THEIR NATURE TOO! They just combined the right amount of nature to the city. That's why their environment is soo cool I wouldn't mind walking the streets of Spore! Philippines tried/s but fails. NOT ENOUGH PLANTS TO HELP OUR SURROUNDINGS. I suggest we add more plants so that it would be easier for us to walk the streets of Manila.

END OF PART 2. PART 3 IS NEXT, I THINK LITTLE INDIA IS NEXT? :D
