Attending my colleague's Wedding in Singapore


It's been my first time attending to an Indian wedding frankly and I was pretty excited about it since it's also a good opportunity to re-visit Singapore again as I do missed the place quite much..I remembered my last time was really captivating especially the beach ...and the air..hehe..we stayed in the cheapest Hotel along Baleister Road and could you believe it that it only takes us about 5 minutes by cab or bus or MRT to reach my fren's wedding which was at Khalsa Association in Singapore....The hotel location was really strategic and convenient since it's more or less accessible within the town vicinity..and furthermore I was deeply impressed with the Public transportation ..unlike Malaysia..I wish we could have a better infrastructure in terms of this where we don't have to rely on scarcely seen or available cabs or buses to take us to even the nearest spot which is commonly swamp with people from anywhere.. Imagine I was so happen taking a bus from one of the various bus stops in Singapore and was amazed to notice that they even had a board stating the duration of the next bus availability at that particular bus stop! Wow..I was speechless at that point of time in fact.



You don't have to worry about having more damaged skin under the hot scorching sun as everything was built underground especially if you are relying on their MRT which basically readily covered every single neccesity route in and out of town area. Our LRT versus MRT are basically the same as both uses Computer to control but the biggest shortcomings for Mys is that it fails to accomodate some remote places such as Subang, Shah Alam, Puchong and even in some areas in KL! Anyway, I had such a wonderful time strolling along the Singapore Clarke Quay where you are about to witness magical scene of floating boats and restaurants along the river and all the colourful lights litted up beautifully whilst making the whole place come out alive in darkness. I went here on my last night before I departed back to KL and thank god that I did not miss this at all. Sentosa Island was just as sweet and refreshing as an eye opener. We took the cable car which took us hanging up in the middle of the Island above where I could mesmerize and capture every single scene for some time to last I believe... Everything was so good except for one weakness in Singapore for when it comes to a place known for heaven in food. There is less variety and taste wise was below average.. I went for a shopping spree on my first day upon arrival covering almost all the main city area such as raffles city, Orchard Road, Bugis Centre ...It was damn tiring and due to over walking, I suffered feet sores and during my way back, I could hardly walk straight anymore...hahaha..:D Please do have a good view on some of the pictures I;ve taken along the way..trying my best to get the best snap out of a normal camera of mine sadly..:(
