Singapore with the Sons of Twelve Day 2

Started our day with Dim Sum, the funny thing about this place is, there are no open till around 9am. Even when there is no one in the restaurant, we had to wait to be seated. We were already getting use to queuing. The food is nice; you can taste quality in them. We had a heavy discussion over breakfast facilitated by Joshua. Besides feeding our body, our soul was fed that morning.

We visited to aquarium after breakfast.

Headed to Orchard road after lunch to attend church. It was held in a hotel meeting room. The atmosphere was pretty warm, with friendly ushers and smiley faces. Worship was good, sang a few songs that I can’t get off my head now. The preacher shared a message entitled ‘Love is Simple’.

Quickly rush back to our inn to change, get a quick bite and headed straight to the Zoo for the night safari. I was really really looking forward for this. For me, this is the last piece of prawn you keep till the very end of your meal. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out to be the way I expected it to be. It was too dark and the animals aren’t that active. Going to the Zoo made me think about Orange and Shadow. Didn’t know they could make me miss them this much. Damn it! I think the most fun part was making Josh walk till his feet feels like breaking; massaging his sole of his foot when we stopped for short breaks was just hilarious.

 As we finish the tram ride, we contacted Aaron to come pick us up. Is always in the car, we talk about life and things we did in the past. It was really nice, reminiscing on all those memories and things we did in the past. We arrived at Serangon for supper. I think we overate that night and we were just stuffing food into our mouth non-stop. Felt like we eat a lot over there. By the time we got home it was almost 2am.

And that was the end of our trip. 5guys on 4wheels, 3days and 2nights in Singapore with 1 big happy ending. It’s an honor and privilege to have great friends and company like Joshua, Nicholes, Sam and Aaron in that trip. I don’t remember laughing this much ever since I was 5. 

One for the memory

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.
