Singapore Pre-Christmas 2009 (Part 1)

After 3-4 years and finally I am here in Singapore again. And this time, I really enjoyed my short trip with someone that I truly in love.

Though it was not the first time been to Singapore, but now I just realised that there are still many places I have not discovered. Billion thanks to my hubby to bring me to such a nice place for drinks and supper.

On last Friday early morning around 7am, we woke up and our journey began after heading to Cyberjaya to get the Nikon D5000 from my cousin sister. Thanks to Wen Jin for lending her D5000 and my man was using his Canon. That's where our Nikon & Canon competition started too. :P

Due to the long distance journey, we agreed to take turn to drive to Singapore. I drove after the Melaka "Rest & Relax" station until Johor Bahru. It was my first time drove down to JB and it took us only 3 hours drive. ;P

The traffice was pretty smooth until crossing the bridge to Singapore from Johor. But we still managed to check in early and had our lunch at Bugis Junction, where we both miss our Ajisen Ramen. (^_^)
Our first stop at Bugis Junction. If I am not mistaken, the last time I came here it has no rooftop yet. Now it is so much nicer and more shops.
We had our lunch at Ajisen Ramen, their signature Vocano ramen is highly recommended for spice food lover. And I noticed Singaporean like to eat Crayfish.
The Christmas tree at Bugis Junction looks like a giant Marshmallow or candy floss.
There's a new shopping mall at Bugis too - The Iluma. I like the crystal exterior design and also the garden on the rooftop area. But there are nothing much to shop in the mall and nothing much interest my attention except an eye-catchy design Japanese Restaurant. After hanging around at Bugis Junction, we went to Suntec City. Then went to the park to see the world largest fountain - "Fountain Of Wealth". The fountain lights up with different colours and also has a mini show every half an hour. It is an ideal place for a relaxing afternoon and also a romantic place for young couples when the night turns dark. You can even allow to dedicate a message to your love one to be displayed. At night, he brought me to Clarke Quay, one of the most happening places with pubs and cafe by the riverside. The Zirca (previously known as Ministry of Sound) is also located at Clarke Quay. And do trust me, Singapore girls are pretty hot too!

If you looking for a fantastic experience, you may try on the two extreme games at Clarke Quay. One of the bungy game which will bounces up and down like a bouncing ball, while another game is the extreme Swing that will swings you backward and forward to another end at up to a height of 50 meters, where you can experience a free fall and rapid flying. When they reached the highest point, the controller will releases them to 'fly" 100 meters across the riverside and top of the trees until it slowly return to the launched position. They also provide video recording to show your facial expression when you were on the ride. :PThe night view at riverside is so nice and charming. Their map directry is so cute and unique. (^_^)
After a long busy day, it is still a good place for us to relax, have some drinks and spend a sweet moment with your love one at one of the pub or cafe by the riverside.
