Accommodation: A Beary Good Hostel, Pagoda St, Chinatown (exit Chinatown MRT turn to your right and you will see the blue signboard after 3-5mins walk) at USD23/night/bed (weekend rate). The shower place is too small and narrow IMO but overall the services are good, the bed is clean, there is free breakfast (which I didn’t try), wifi (weak in the room but good in the lounge area)…basically I am ok and don’t mind staying there again as the location is real strategic - right smack in the middle of Chinatown! If you are into walking, you can walk all the way to Clarke Quay which is an MRT station away.
+ One of the way to go to Sentosa Island is by taking the Sentosa Express monorail (SGD3 for return ticket) at Vivo City Shopping Mall, Level 3.Talking about Vivo, reminds me that I need to try The Soup Spoon the next time I go again *^* Anyway we were going to Sentosa Island for the Zuno showcase at the Resorts World Convention Centre. The MC was really witty and entertaining. I managed to take 2 fancams - one each for the Kim twins :3 (1) Junsu’s Greatest Love of All, (2) Zuno’s Just Once Before going to the showcase, I saw dolphin stuffed animal plushie at Chinatown, which I was so tempted to buy and to throw at Junsu while he is putting his heart into singing a ballad song LMAO!
+ After Sentosa, we went to Clarke Quay to meet up with friends who were having drinking session there. It was a good catch up and meeting with more new friends! The whole night was spent keeping various gadgets safe from the plopping of the soju into the beers ;p We took a cab back to our hostel but the cab driver “cheated” us by dropping us at no-where and we had to walk all the way back to Chinatown >:x
+ The next morning I had a look around Chinatown and stopped by at one interesting Chinese temple. Wish I took more pics but I forgot to bring along my camera and my handphone batt died after I snapped one pic of the temple >.<; In the temple, they have different deities taking care of each animal zodiac and I didn’t hesitate to pray in front of the Rooster’s deity ㅎㅎㅎ Anyway I found this clip on YT so if you are interested you can watch the temple pics lol! I am not sure what’s the name of this temple but it’s located near the food market. Last time I was in Chinatown, I also saw this interesting Hindu temple, Sri Mariamman.
+ In the afternoon I met up with Amanda for lunch at The Central, Clarke Quay. We had Korean food at Seoul Yummy, Level 3. The ddeokbokki was not spicy at all 8Db The pajeon was extremely small in size! Then it was a rush to Orchard Road to see what I can afford to buy x’D In the end, I spent my last SGD50 on a Sennheiser purple earphone - a happy customer when given discount! And I still have enough SGD to eat a galore at Chinatown Food Street for dinner before taking the night train back to KL….
더이상 무섭지 않다...
