Day One: torTOURe walk... My first ride (of many rides) in the MRT and the bus! Super astig!! One card for all your transportation needs. Saya! Rode the Flyer, super na afraid ako sa taas!! waah!! The best part: bonding with friends! super enjoy even if we were really tired of walking the whole day!
Day Two: Shopping day. Went to Bugis, Sim Lim, and Funan to buy some electronics and pasalubong. That night, we ate at Gluttons Bay (near Marina Square), super gluttony talaga (treat nila!).. Super dami ng food! Went to see the Merlion, too band, they turn off the water pala at 11pm. Saktong 11 pm kami nakarating sa Merlion park, so no more water! haha.. After pictures, went to Starbucks, mahal dun ah! D na ako umorder because I didn't want to stay up late. The best part: food trip and catching up with friends in Singapore!
Day Three: Sentosa Day! Rode the 3D and 4D rides, and of course, ang Luge! super fun!! Had fun at the beach without going swimming. Waited for the "songs of the sea" at the beach instead. Ate my first ever Ben and Jerry's ice cream. yumyum!! The best part: before we rode the train to Sentosa, we shopped at Vivo City and bought a lot of shirts from (where else??) Giordano! haha..
Day Four: Zoo Day. Jurong Bird Park in the afternoon, Singapore Zoo in the late afternoon and Night Safari at night. Jurong Bird Park was fun, I saw a lot (as in a lot!) of birds, I was really amazed at the colors of the birds! I was not able to tour the entire Singapore Zoo because it was about to close but what I saw was enough. We met Hazel and Joanne for dinner (treat nila! grabe!) at Night Safari. Rode the tram so the tour inside the Night Safari would not take long. Super afraid ako sa bats so when we went inside the "bat cave" I walked so fast as if I was running away from the bats. haha!! The best part: learning that Hazel and Joanne were so brave to go to Singapore and find employment there. I just hope that I have the same courage as them. Catching up with them made me feel a little old but proud because these two (although not former students of mine, but I was already a teacher in MIT when they entered college, Joanne was a former student laboratory assistant in MIT) made something of themselves in another country.
Day Five: Quoting Michael Buble's song HOME: "Another airplane, another sunny place, I’m lucky, I know, But I wanna go home, I’ve got to go home". I really can't stay long away from home. So, I woke up very early because I was really excited to come home. We arrived at the terminal 2 hours prior to our flight and met Normandy by chance (he was coming home because it was a long weekend in SG). Landing at the NAIA Termina 3 was a little bit delayed because the Philippine President left for China as she will be attending the next day's opening ceremonies of the Olympics. The best part: we were fortunate to ride with Cebu Pacific's President Lance Gokongwei, which gave me relief because the pilot may be the airline's best (shempre sumakay ba naman ang may ari kung di nila gagalingan ewan ko na lang!). Normandy was a blast, he made me forget about my headache that I always get when I fly!
