Singapore Trip #1 - Arrival, Marina Bay Sands shopping centre

I was in Singapore from the 14th-20th of December, 2011. But technically speaking, I was there for only half an hour on the 14th. LOL anyway! I was so excited because I was taking a plane to Singapore!

Coz normally we travel by cheaper modes of transport (bus, train) which comes with less comfortability too. But at that period of time, Air Asia was offering really cheap flights - zero fare actually, so we only paid for the tax. Which is equivalent to what we will pay if we take the bus!

Our flight was scheduled to fly at 10.30pm. Woooots I love late flights :p My aunt came with us and we arrived at the LCCT airport at around 7pm I think. Checked in, had our dinner at the food court (surprisingly the chicken rice tasted okay!), chilled out in McDonald's with my Oreo McFlurry :D and basically waited for the time to pass.

Finally, it was time to board the plane. While I was walking on the super long walkway, I was reliving the day when I walked that exact walkway with my new friends to go for the BRATs workshop in Kota Bharu, Kelantan :D

It has been 9 months since I sat on an Air Asia plane :p With my super pretty sis and I look weird here...

The flight took about 1 hour. I was reading in the plane and wasn't aware of how fast the hour went by! I looked out the window, and I saw so many beautiful lights shining back at me.

Attempted bokeh with my compact. Not bad :D

A clearer picture of the tens of thousands of lights of Singapore. Magical, ain't it? Me loves :D

Changi Airport! The airport is so nice, so comfy, so elegant, so huuuge (unlike LCCT - hehe ignore KLIA for a while). My eyelids were sort of wanting to droop then. One thing that Malaysia will never ever have - good-looking men at the immigration counter.

My uncle picked us up at the designated area for picking up passengers (Singapore is so organised). My uncle's family recently moved from Woodlands to Pasir Ris, which luckily isn't that far from the airport XD

I think I slept very very very late (or early) that night (or morning). Coz I was suddenly so awake when I reached the apartment - I don't know why but maybe coz I was too excited :p

The next morning, we slept in - like duh. Then in the afternoon, my uncle drove us to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) coz I wanted to see the Titanic exhibition :DDD

The MBS hotel is just opposite this building. Hmm, this may be the shopping mall... See, one whole row of expensive cars weih.

This is MBS shopping mall! First time in here :D The design and structure of the building exudes such modern feel. It's better than Pavilion - (can say) the most prestigious shopping complex in KL!

Photobucket

Me is jealous.

Photobucket

They even have a casino inside.

Photobucket

See what I mean when I say it's better than Pavilion? Like so bright and open and airy with glass roofs and everything glass XD

Photobucket

I LOVE THIS PLACE OMG. There's a skating rink inside there somewhere but I didn't see it. So wasted :(
