Singapore-Malaysia Tour

Surprised.Enjoyment.Happiness.Excitement.

"Lahat na ata ng positive feelings naramdaman ko nung pumunta akong Malaysia and Singapore". That's what murmuring on my mind after the tour. This was one of my unforgettable moments in life (cause it's my first time to ride in an airplane and to visit other countries). Although we paid a lot for this 5-day tour, I do not regret it. Let me share to you some of my memories and experiences in the said countries.

Of course, I was very excited so 3 days before the tour actually I prepared the things that I need :) (So overacting!) And I was like crazy counting the days before the tour comes. Before the day comes, I checked again my things and actually because of excitement, I just slept for 3-4 hours only. I woke up at 3:30am and went to school at 4:30am. We departed at school at exactly 7:30am and arrived at the NAIA Terminal 1 at 9:30am (not sure for the arrival time hehe). 

The airlines used was Jetstar Asia Airways. We departed at NAIA Terminal 1 at exactly 10:35 am. At that time, I felt the excitement inside the airplane as I saw the top view of other countries.
Nice top view


We arrived at Singapore Airport at exactly 2:10pm. We met our kind and very helpful tourist guide. 
Our first destination was to ate Late Lunch at some restaurant (I forgot the name of the restaurant). 

 My Friends :)
Wow Crab ! :D
I and my classmates were surprised that there was La Salle School in Singapore (La Salle College of the Arts).


Unfortunately, we did not able to go inside that school. After late lunch, we went to Merlion Landmark. Of course me and my friends did not miss the opportunity to take pictures. I felt relax and enjoyed as I have seen Merlion statue and the nice view.

Our next stop was Marina Bay Sands Sky Park where we could see the amazing view of Singapore.
Wow !  we really could see almost the whole singapore as we went to that place.

After that, we went to Marina Light Show. There will be an amazing show created by Singapore. This show was very amazing, creative and unique. "Madalas tao mismo yung nsa show para magentertain but here it's different ! They use water to showcase everything. I have a video but I encouraged you to go there someday to witness the show.:)


That's the end of our Day 1 in Singapore. After that, we went to Value Hotel in Singapore. Nice facilities and nice staff. Meron nga doong Pilipino eh sa may front desk . :)

Day 2: We had our breakfast at 7:00am and prepared for the exciting tour for today ! UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and SENTOSA ISLAND TOUR. Oops ! I did not charge my SLR battery but I managed to have a lot of pictures in Universal Studios.

We went to Sentosa Island to watch again a show entitles the Songs of the Sea. It was a very great and intense show since they use fire, water, a lot of props and manpower. Na-LSS pa nga ako sa kinanta nung mga nagpeperform. Hindi lang ako, lahat kami. :) "♫Singapura, Oh Singapura ♫!"

Actually the real purpose why we went there to Singapore was because of Lectures and Seminars conducted by Marketing Institute of Singapore and National Institute of Management. 
We had attended seminar at Marketing Institute of Singapore and so proud to meet a speaker graduated from De La Salle as well. 



After the seminar, we went to Johor Bahru, Malaysia which is the southernmost city of the Eurasian mainland. We traveled from Singapore to Malaysia I think 3-4 hours using only a bus. In my own observation, Malaysia is like Manila in the Philippines. According to the tourist guide, if you feel safe in Singapore because of low percentage of crime, in Malaysia, it's dangerous like in our country. 

We went to Chocolate Galley, Jusco Mall and Firefly River Cruise. The best experience there were riding the cruise to witness the existence of fireflies. Some of my friends were not targeting the fireflies but it's the crocodiles. According to our Malaysian tourist guide there is crocodile in the river so it's better not to move a lot while inside the cruise. Thank God we were safe :) And came back to Singapore at  9:00pm.

Day 4 at Singapore
This day was a very busy day since we attended 2 seminars at The America Club (Prepared by Direct Marketing Association of Singapore) and lectures at National Institute of Management.But this is the best day that I ever had since it was my birthday at that time and I received a M&M chocolate from our tourist guide. I found it sweet and memorable :) All my classmates and friends greeted me.

After the seminar, we went to Chinatown (I was really excited to buy souvenirs and pasalubong!) and we went to Mustafa (the little India of Singapore) where you can buy affordable imported chocolates (yummy!) plus Bugis Street, a Divisoria type in Singapore, where you can buy a lot of affordable apparels and footwear.

Day 5: Check-out at Value Hotel of Singapore. Eat our lunch at a restaurant and wow surprised cake for September birthdays ! :D Thanks ! :D


A great gift for my birthday ! :D Overall it was indeed great to go to Singapore and I really want to go back there someday and study their culture more. Singapore was known as the fine city and I admire Singapore because of that since everybody were very disciplined. Singapore is a best example and I hope our country would be successful someday like them.
