First time.
Last July, after I took the NLE , Patten’s brother told him that he booked a flight for us in Singapore. I was like ‘really? Wow’. Who wouldn’t be excited, right?
First out of the country trip. Wow. Days before the trip, I was struggling on how will I be able to file a leave at work? Haha. Gaah, I struggled but I got through with it. Yipee!
We left Lipa on October7, Friday night. Flight to SG is 5:45am so they decided that we stay at Patten’s unit and wait. The weather was really bad, there was a tropical storm. To cut the story short, we reached NAIA Terminal 3 and checked in.
Landed @ SG by past 9am.
OCTOBER 8. The day was about knowing how to walk it all off. Since, everything has been accessible; walking is a need as well. You really have to keep your feet well to do all the walking. We walked from here and there and enjoyed the every picturesque angle of the city. The city is very charming, clean and modern. I am the type of person/traveller who enjoys seeing the sights. I enjoy and appreciate cultures, people, arts, buildings and most of all foods. I can not even remember the number of times I told Patten this ``Tingnan mo, Baby. Ang ganda nung building no? Ganda ng pagkakagawa’’. Patten knows a lot about art. He is a buff of all those foreign shows that tackles art, history, building, and etcetera. He is an Architecture student that’s why he appreciates so many things as well. I’m glad I had that trip with Patten.
Moving on, we went to Marina Bay Sands and experience the Chilli Crab at this little Makasuntra Gluttons Bay. Chilli Crab is one of SG’s best. Its delicious and chilli. Haha. Im not a fan of spices but this one is really good. If you go to SG, you have to try their Chilli Crab.
We arrived at the unit where we were staying late night, and we’re all tired. We cant even talk to each other because we were all exhausted (but we enjoyed..alot)
First day photos:
Finally, I got to ride a plane. LOL.
Twas a smooth ride. I slept the whole time. Thanks to Patten who has always been such a supportive boyfriend with my sleeping talent. Bow :P
ION baby.
My sister-in-crime Jaica and Kuya Patrick (Patten's brother)
Bus ride.
SG bus drivers are fast and fearless. Whoah.
My favorite. Ive been really excited to see this right before my very eyes.
I love the Marina Bay Sands!
October 9. 2nd Day! The Universal Studios,SG experience.
One day isn’t enough to explore the entire Universal Studios but Im glad I got to experience their best attractions.
My Top 3 favorite!
3rd: Lights Camera Action by Steven Spielberg
Wow! I was wide amazed on how we were shown on how special effects work in a film, and I was like WHOAAAA!
2nd: The Mummy experience REVENGE OF THE MUMMY
Indoor Roller Coaster! Wow! I didnt expect the twist there. Haha. First time I held Patten's arm because for the first time, I got scared. Im not such a huge fan of horror. i love horror films, but only when im with someone. Haha.
1st: To top it all: It has to be the Battlestar: GALACTICA CYCLON!
It’s the Blue Track. And it’s a suspended Roller Coaster that goes up, around and upside down with an intense corkscrew and cobra roll! Oh well. I was blown away! What a roller coaster ride!
It was such a beautiful experience! I got to ride the two rollercoaster rides with Ate Mhye and Patten. The three of us were all excited, a little scared but more fearless. Y'know, you always gotta live with your fears, face your fears and enjoy your fears somehow. Haha. And we all did!
I am not exaggerating here, but the Universal Studios experience was such a cute experience. I love extreme rides and Universal Studios didn’t fail to impress me.
Have a fleeting look on few of our Universal Studios photos:
After Universal Studios, we had to experience taking shots on the Candylicious store. Also in Sentosa. I got cute shots. Pat was such an amazing photog.
Candylicious.
October 10. Sad to say, but it was our last day. We're leaving the next day.
We had to make sure that we get to buy something/souvenirs from our Trip.
We went to Bugis and Little India. The walking was really insane. Yes, insane. It was really hot. Good thing is, you're breathing fresh air.
Photos from Bugis & Little India:
Literally, Little India was really like India. (Ive never been to India but Ive seen the place many times in the pictures, tv, web)
WALK. POSE. SMILE. WALK. POSE. SMILE. :p
We posed for this stair with the brand, Forever 21. They asked me to just take a quick pose since i was turning 21 the next day. Hehe!
Later that day, we had to do a little separation. Just a quick separation. Hehe.
The four of us had to experience the Cable Car.
Thanks to the very supportive and excited Tita Beth and Tito Sammy for making it happen. Hehe.
The cable car experience was really expensive, and the Vergara Brothers' parents treated us. Wow, thanks po! ☺ They're really more than excited and happy for us. Really sweet of them.
Yipee Yay!
Too much of a Picturesque!
After wards, we went back to Sentosa to experience what Sentosa and Luge offer more.
First was the Sentosa 4D Magix.
Second was the Luge Sky Ride where we also met up with Ate Gold and Ate Mhye.
The view riding the Luge Sky ride was breath taking. I got to see a beautiful coastline.
Third, Sentosa Luge. Another favorite. As they page says ''Thrill-seekers will discover a different challenge while manoeuvring down each track with unique lightings. ''
Photos, Yeah!
Lovely ride.
Last thing to experience in Sentosa was the famous Songs of the Sea.
We sat in front of the beach. I really dont have any idea of what to be seeing in there, well its nice in the first place that you dont have any idea of what might the show bring. I thought it was just a plain play but it wasn't.
There's a beautiful presentation on the sea. Water presentation. I have to admit, i got mesmerized. Its with a dramatic effect and pyrotechnics. Its something everyone will enjoy. You'll be in awe with all the flame bursts, lasers, and the good music being played. Its captivating. Kids will surely love it.
Songs of the Sea
While watching the show, I thought of my nephews. If theyre with me watching, they'll surely be in awe just like me. Then I noticed Patten looking sad. I asked him why. He said he remembers his younger brother Oyoboy who stays in London with their parents. Oyoboy has really dreamt of watching Songs of the Sea with their entire family. Such a sweet kid.
After the Sentosa experience, we had to go to Marina Bay Sands to have our last look.
Fortunately, we just got in time for the Wonder Full show.
Actually, this is my most favorite part of the trip. It made me in tears. Yeah, you know..just realizing that life is really wonderful. I've been really blessed this year and this show really made my heart melt. It was just.. captivating. Simple and beautiful.
♪♫What a wonderful world ♫♪

Last few shots from Marina Bay Sands
It was such a beautiful experience. We wanted to stay longer and explore more. We still have to see a lot. Hoping to come back next time though.
As we headed to Woodlands (where we stay), my good friend Jeboi gave me a phone call. We will all be meeting up with him and we all welcomed my 21st Birthday.
They're very sweet. I know they were all tired, their feet ached really bad but they managed to stay with us and celebrate my 21st.
My cake was from Bread Talk. It was a lip-smacking chocolate cake. Thanks to Patten for the cake and for Jeboi for treating us on Mcdonalds which was the only fast food left open in that time.
My 21st in SG
Thanks for your time people. I really appreciate it. I love each and everyone of you.
We all made sure Ate Mhye gets home safe, it was fair enough to endure the pain from the walking. We all experience the same pain and joy anyway. We all had a beautiful SG experience!
And so the little kid enjoyed the trip ☺
10 Things I love about my trip to SG:
1. Its very clean.
2. People wouldn’t mind what you do, what you wear. Mind your own business.
3. The Chilli Crab.
4. MRT is very accessible.
5. They have policies everywhere and you have no choice but to obey all the rules or else you’ll end up being fined or in jail. LOL
6. First Country I visit
7. Marina Bay Sands particularly Wonder Full just..just.. blew me away.
8. The water presentation at Marina Bay Sands made me cry. It made me realize that life…is beyond beautiful.
9. Celebrating your birthday abroad is nice and I got to escape from the demands of the real world.
10. I got to experience it with my good friends, well more importantly with Patten. I hope next time, I’ll be visiting SG with my family and my nephews that will be a lot happier!
Okay, just to end this: Here's a picture of me saying:
oTrip to SG will never be complete with this I love SG tee from Giordano! Its a must-have!
