Singapore with the Sons of Twelve Day 1


The last time we were down there, Orange went missing and I had to cut short my trip. So for this trip, I had to make sure Orange and Shadow are properly secured and placed in safe hands before I could leave in peace and enjoy my trip. I really don’t know what I will do if it happens again. Don’t even dare to think about it.

Anyhow, again we have to thank Aaron and Jean for planning us a great trip and driving us around with a nice ride. Our schedule was super tight, like how the guys put it, tighter than Aaron’s asshole. Not much of a breather, but just enough to carry us on the next day.

Nic, Sam and I took the bus down from Penang, whilst Josh flew down from KL. Last year, Sam and I took 8 hours to reach Singapore, but this time, freaking 12 hours.

We were glad when we finally step foot into the inn Aaron booked for us; Rucksack Inn. 5 of us in a room including 1 stranger.  3 double decker bed all squeeze into one small room. You can hardly move on the floor area but it was nice and cozy. It’s a recommended place if you’re on a tight budget.

Right after we dropped our bags and freshen up ourselves, our tour begins. We had lunch at a hawker centre in Maxwell. Right after lunch we headed to Sentosa.  We started with the Luge & skyline, which is quite similar to a go kart race except there is no engine in a luge. Speed comes from the gravity as we start at a higher point, with the skyline ride. The ride was fun; it’s a mixture between a kid’s fun and an adult’s fun, partly because you can’t accelerate at will. It would be more fun if the track was longer. Josh commented that he’s gonna beat all of us due to the bigger inertial he has after quoting some physics formula. Haha. But he ended up last in all 3 races.

Skyride to the starting line
After our yummylicious dinner at Geylang, we headed to a more relax activity; Gardens by the bay, to watch the light show. It’s the only thing you don’t have to queue in Singapore.  Amen to that!

We went back to Sentota to finish another round of Luge. Then it was time for supper. I missed the mussels at Robertsonquay last year because Orange went missing. So it was my first time being there. Cui Lin met up with us over there as we fellowship with mussels and drink. We toast for Sam as he is nearing the end of being a bachelor. Sweet! Headed to our inn with bloated stomach and happy hearts. After a round of poker, we were all ready to hit the sack after a long day.
