SINGAPORE !!!


In July 2010 me and my family went to Singapore. I stayed in an apartment. It is located in Tanjung Rhu road. I went to Singapore for 8 days, it is long enough for us. I went to Singapore on 5 July until 13 July. This is the second time I slept in apartment. The room is located on the sixth floor. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room and dining room. It is big enough for 8 person because I went there with my father, mother, sister, grandma, 2 of my cousins, and my uncle. My grandma brought a lot of oranges. But on the last day that was 13 of July, all of the oranges that my grandma brought were eaten all of it.

From airport to the apartment takes about 20 minutes. It is not too far from the airport to get to the apartment. We arrived at Changi Airport at six thirty pm. But we have to wait for the luggage first and it takes almost 20 minutes. So we arrive at the apartment at seven twenty pm. The first thing that we did were turn on all of the air conditioner(AC). Then, we put all the things that we brought. Like fruits, meatballs, and the other things. After all is done, one by one we took a turn to take a shower. The water was so cold, but there was a water heater so it is fine. After that, we went to eat. We ate in a restaurant that is famous for its hai nan chicken rice. But when we were waiting at the restaurant i saw a group of boys walking in front of the restaurant. Then I realized that my brother(cousin) was there. He was amaze and then he give a hug to my grandma. He said that it was unbelievable to met us because we have just arrived at Singapore and in the first day we directly met him. After that my brother with my father and uncle went to the nearest market to buy some bottle of water. The restaurant that we ate called "Boon Tong Kee". It took about 15 minutes to this restaurant. After we ate, we went home and sleep.

The second day we went to Universal Studios,but we did not get the ticket to enter the Universal Studios because that day all of the ticket were sold out so we decided to went to Sentosa Island because Sentosa Island is beside Universal Studios. This is the second time I went to Sentosa. Nothing is change, only the Merlion Statue will be put on there. We did not play a lot in Sentosa because there were only a few games. We only play one game and it was so fun. After we played that game, we went to the sea world at Sentosa. Only me, my sister, and two of my cousins that enter the sea world. My father and my uncle were waiting outside the sea world. It took two hours for us to finish walking and taking photo inside the sea world. This sea world is smaller than the sea world at Siam Paragon,Bangkok. After that, we ate a bowl of mangoes and kiwi fruit with ice. It was so tasty, the temperature in Sentosa was so hot so we ate that kind of food. At 5 pm, we were finish playing at Sentosa. But, my uncle and his daughter decided to take a walk alone/ separate from us. Because they wanted to see "Songs of the sea" in Sentosa. The show held at seven forty pm and I did not want to see that show because I had seen that show before. Same place same time. So me, my sister and my father decided to go to Vivo. Vivo is a shopping mall. It is so big, it got 3 levels. But this shopping mall is twice bigger than Pakuwon Trade Center( shopping mall in Surabaya ). We went to Vivo because we were going to meet my grandma and my mother. After we arrive at Vivo, my father left us home because he had a little headache. So, he went home with MRT.

The next day we went to Orchard road where there were a lot of good brands sold there like Zara, Gucci, Diesel, Giorgio Armani and so on. Orchard road was different with five years ago.. So 2005 is the last year I went to Singapore. There were a lot of new shopping malls and the other. The first thing that i remember was Takasimaya. In Takasimaya there were a lot of toys that sold there, but I did not play these toys again because i was a teenager now so i did not play children toys. In Singapore we usually travel to other place by foot or MRT. I like to go to Singapore because I can eat BURGER KING. I always eat the double whooper because it is the biggest burger in Burger King. Then in Orchard road there was an ice cream that was sold there, the seller was an old man. But the ice cream so tasty. Everyday, people will eat this ice cream and the ice cream will be sold out.

The next thing that i want to tell is about Universal Studios. In Universal Studios we arrive there at 9 o'clock. Only me, my sister, my father, my uncle and two of my cousins went to Universal Studios. After that, at 10 o'clock Universal Studios open. The place was so big until at the end of the visit to Universal Studios i was so exhausted. There was one game that is close. It's called Battle Star Galactica. It is a kind of roller coaster and it will spur your adrenaline. It was close because there were some technical error with the track. But, the other games were fun too. Like the mummy returns. It is a kind of a roller coaster. But if we want to play this game we must turn around a labyrinth to get into the roller coaster. This roller coaster was so fun. Then the Shrek 4d movie. It was so funny and cool too. If in the movie Shrek was riding a horse so the chair that we are sitting will be shaking up and down. The same as we were riding a horse in the real world. The next thing is dragon roller coaster. This is the fastest roller coaster I have ever rode.

Ok that's all about my journey to Singapore. I hope you can enjoy reading my article.
