Singapore & Bintan Indonesia Trip


After 2 vacations in the past 6 months, I didn't think I'll be allowed by my boss (I'm working too you know, lol! XD) to take another long trip again so I made this one a really short one, only 3 days and I'm back to work. ^^

I went on a plane to Singapore and joined my friend on a trip to Bintan, Indonesia for their company outing the next day. It's just a ferry ride away from Singapore and we spent just one night there. We arrived in the afternoon, walked around the resort, and got changed for the party that night.

The next day, we booked a relaxing massage in our room in the morning and before we know it, it's time to go back to Singapore. With some last minute shopping and picture taking, we're off. ^^ Back in Singapore, I just have to try their popular chili crabs! I tried their chili crabs, black pepper crabs and sting ray, all so yummy! =D

The my final day in Singapore is Universal Studios day! =) I just have to visit it no matter what! LOL! =P I'm a total theme park freak that I just have to go at least once and try the rides. It brings out the child in me that usually got lost in my daily working life.

We took pictures with all the characters walking around the theme park any chance we got. It's fun and nice to be in pictures with characters we only get to see in TV or movies. ^^ Next are the rides!!!

First we tried is the roller coaster. It has two lanes, one is human, which is a high speed seated roller coaster and other is cyclone, a little bit slower than the other one but you ride it hanging under the rail instead of above it. I actually really wanted to try the hanging one but got in the wrong entrance and took the seated one. We thought we'd just go to the other side after our first ride. But I guess it's just not possible, LOL! XD After that super high speed ride, there's no chance I'll be able to ride the other without me losing my head, LOL! So I'll just try that one when I go back again next time. =)

We also tried the Mummy, 4D Shrek theater, Canopy Flyer, watched the Special Effects Show, Monsters Musical, Water World. I have to go back for the Madagascar which was still closed when I went there, the Rapids Adventure and the Cyclone Battle Star Galactica, both of which I didn't have enough time to try since I'm catching a flight back home that night. ^^

Another wonderful blessing from the Lord and I'm always thankful to all His gifts. I accept all these with a thankful heart and hope that I'll be able to give back even just a little to His people what He has given me. To God be all the glory! ^_^

Korea - White Christmas~

Image
Yes, I went to South Korea again! I went to Korea in early 2009 and again last December 24-29, 2009. Twice in a year, now you know how I love the place. ^^ For the first time in my life, I had a white Christmas! =) I joined a tour again, this time going with my younger brother and my two girl friends. Day 1 - it's Christmas eve, we arrived in Incheon international airport around 6PM, went straight for dinner. We had a yummy dinner, it's pork bulgogi! ^^ After dinner, we checked in our hotel in Incheon and had a good rest for a busy day the following day. Day 2 - Theme park day, we went to Everland. I'm not really that excited anymore since I've been to Everland before. Just like before, I really enjoyed the Snow Buster! It's where you sled down a man made snow slope, super fun! ^^ Too bad it rained that day after we had lunch so we had to wear rain coats and walk around wet grounds. =S We had dinner in a local restaurant having mushroom hot pot wit...

Annyeong Haseyo Seoul! ^^

And now for the second part of my trip, "on our own". No more tour guide, no more planned day, it's all on our own the next 9 days. We don't speak Korean, we understand very very little Korean, the rest of our trip was pretty interesting! ^^ From Itaewon, the last stop of our tour, we took a cab to the guesthouse we will be staying. That night is our first Big Bang - Big Show concert. My first time in Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium and it's not as big as I thought. But the stage is impressive, it has a lot of room for effects and props. It was my very first Korean concert and I have to say, the Korean fans are really admirable. They sing, they chant, they dance with the artist. No artist in that stage will feel tired with all the support they are getting from the audience. I talked about my Big Show experience in my other blog >> Big Bang - Big Show . Next day (sat), we went out for lunch, my first Korean food that's really tasty, Dak Galbi...

South Korea Tour 2009

Image
It's a dream come true! To experience winter at least once in my life (because I live in a tropical county and we only have two seasons here in the Philippines, rainy and sunny) and this year, I did! I included a ski trip to South Korea in my 2009 wish list and I'm so happy that at least one of them came true! God is really really good!!! So good that the first thing I thought of in my mind upon coming out of the airport in Korea is "Thank You Lord!". I spent two whole weeks in South Korea. The first five days is part of a tour group and the next nine days were on our own. I'll be writing about my tour on this post and our adventures and "misadventures" on my next post. There were good and not-so-good experiences but since there are very few not-so-good ones, I can easily forget about them and keep all the very very nice memories I had in this trip. ^_^ 1st day, we arrived at Incheon airport past 5AM. Thank God we got to the meeting place...
