Our Second Honeymoon in Singapore


Arrived at airport nearly 7pm and it was already getting dark
Caught a cab and headed back home to freshen up before heading to dinner
Everything unexpectedly done in a quick manner and proceeded to Tampines Mall
Watched "Sadako" and not to mention it was just a little scary
And I tried to stay calm
Without having his hands to be in blue black condition
He got ready before any surprises
And we survived the night walking back home at midnight
Although it was late at night
We were still accompanied by so many people around us 
They were walking and some cycling having the same purpose - going home ^.^


The next morning he went to work and I woke up a little late
Cleaned his room a little and packed his stuffs that took me about half hour
Within a glimpse of your eyes I transformed myself ready to go out
I packed my bag and took his S3 phone down town hunting the new mall - Suntec
Beforehand took brunch at Tampines Mall Kopitiam - Wan Than Mee, Ice Lemon Tea


Well in the train I headed first to City Hall SMRT station
And I walked the underpath and it linked me to several other places
I went around Suntec City and explored the Fountain of Wealth
Next walked underpath again heading to the Raffles City Shopping Mall
Not so far from Suntec and I walked along checking my fb at the same time
I walked around and to my surprise I bumped into my brother, David
And had my teatime chatting with him in which I never intend to look out for his stall


Dear finished his work and called his phone looking for wife
I thought of running back Tampines but he finished work early
So we met at Raffles City Shopping Mall for dinner before going back
He looked awesome in his formal but pitied that he was already exhausted


His face always reminds me of chubby bii when he was asleep
Well since it's Friday night we decided to head for a big feast
And we walked around and arrived at The Swensen at Marina Square
Forgotten what is the exact name of the food cause I am forgetful
All that I could remember is Softcrab Spagetti and Chicken Cutlet
My dear can you recall them? hahax


The next day we ate lunch at T-junction RamenPlay
We ordered Kotteri Ramen and Cha Shu Double Soup Ramen
Both tasted great and truly asian food :)


Then we strolled around the big city hands holding tight
And mine sweating hot but he didn't mind ^.^ hehe
We then headed to Cathay cinema bought 4 tickets head to head
The Madagascar 3 and The Dictator and laughed our lungs out
We spent quite a lot on snacks and movie at CineLeisure Orchard
But it was okay and we walked around Orchard area
Saw an ice-cream bun stall and my god he bought Durian Ice-cream Bun
Biting like it was the most delicious mouth-watering food ever
So I took a few bites and indeed he was correct it tasted good


We ended our journey from there and went home happily
The road from Tampines Mall back to home might be long and windy
But with him beside me the journey seemed short and brief


The next morning we woke up quite early but I always get to stare at his face
And kissed him as he opened his eyes looking ever so blur and innocent
Had our majestic breakfast ranging from chinese to western cuisine
And we took free shutter bus from Tampines to IKEA and Courts


Went fooling around and scrolled through all the furnitures at IKEA
Then moved on to Courts to do survey on cameras and beds
About noon took bus back Tampines and headed on to East Coast
Took bus at Tampines again waited almost half an hour
While dear checking online how to get there conveniently
Puffed and we reached in less than half an hour by bus


Summer gave us warmth and the sun wasn't scotching hot
It was windy with comfortable sea breeze swiping our faces
And the beach filled with kids chasing each other and bbq activities
We were too hungry so we consumed some fatty stuffs; McD
Menu available here is so different from Malaysia's menu
Was amused with the extra large size carbonated drinks and corns
We rented a 2-people bicycle for 2 hours although I was a little scared
I knew with my height like that it would be difficult for me to ride
But challengue accepted and we successfully making it down the road
His face was sun-burned reddish as if he looked shy like a flower


The next 1.5hours we managed to get ourselves to Holand Village
We chose shortcut and in the end we waited quite long for his friends
And they did arrive when the sky turned to dark dark blue that faithful night
We walked to Rooftop 211 Restaurant and ordered western dishes
Overall satisfactory guaranteed and everyone was happy


After dinner we waved goodbye and carry on to our next destination
Mustafar Centre located quite a distance from Holland Village
We reached there just in time and walked around the 7 storeys building
It looked like supermarket from outside but the truth amazed me
It has almost all the daily needs we hunted for and all available at 1 spot
Soon we rushed to the nearest bus stop and waited for midnight bus
As he planned perfectly we managed to catch the train back to Tampines

Our last walk back home from Tampines SMRT and we moved real slow
Enjoying the last moment and the last night we spent in Singapore


The next morning we woke up again real early and got ready to Changi airport
Breakfast at Terminal 2 was as usual with heavy hearts
Most of the time we remained silent and stared at each other's eyes
We took a bus from Terminal 2 to Budget Terminal in order to board
Tiger Airways was doing bad with long queues at every counter
But at least it spared us some time to be together at the very last moment
As the time came we hugged and he left to work while I waited for my flight
Arrived safely at LCCT Kuala Lumpur and well will be there again soon :*

Detour le Kuching

On departing to Kuching alone at 7.50am
I felt very nervous on catching the plane
Reached around 10.55am at LCCT which is okay
Took bus from uni main entrance gate and from there
Reached train station UKM to Nilai train station
From there took 2 buses separately location to reach LCCT
That's why I took bout 3 hours to reach there


Checked in my luggage 8kg I decided to have mcD for lunch
Sat there for an hour looking at people hurrying here and there
Was amazed seeing some big families departing together for vacation
Which will never happen to my family as my grandma doesn't wanna take flight
My parents prefer to stay at home while my dog needs people to take care
Board the plane and my heart filled with mixture of emotions
As I wished everything will go smoothly in Kuching
Just as I hoped miracles just happened sometimes
And all along 4.5 days in Kuching things were unpredictably perfect


We went to many shopping malls and night market
We watched Abraham Lincoln and Prometheus at The Spring Mall
Prometheus that movie was the most comfortable for me
I dunno if he felt the same after all I the one putting weight on him
He hugged me from back while supporting me made me feel comfortable
Till I can sleep in his arms while watching movie
Meanwhile Madagascar was put on hold after this 2 movies..
Madagascar, Sadako and Dictator watched in Singapore the week after
Sadako 3D movie was okay but the audience here in Singapore laughed a lot
And we felt the suspense feeling in air with them which is cool
The ghost lady hand jerking out from the screen into my 3D glasses
Never put me in fear at all but I was enjoying horror movie for the first time


Madagascar was overall pleasant with lots of funny jokes and conversation
Making everyone in the cinema alive and gave much mirth to the audience
On the other hand, The Dictator was not shown in Malaysia
Therefore I'm glad to watch it overseas and it was rated 18 there
Luckily I'm matured enough to gain entry into THX theather that very lucky day


His family members are too kind and too friendly for me
I felt so grateful meeting them for the very first time
I had been brought to various places to eat various food
Kolo Mee was the best, followed by Kueh Chap and Laksa
Although I didn't really taste their laksa cause it tasted a little weird to me
But anyhow, it was uniquely Sarawak Laksa and only available there

It was purely white colour springy mee served with vinegar and chillis
Different stalls serve different types of Kolo Mee and all of them I love to eat too
This is the Kueh Chap served at night market and taste like bak kut teh ^^
This is the most famous 3 layered tea in Kuching
Made from tea first layer followed by fresh milk and gula melaka
Formed the 3 layered tea mixed well and be served chilled
Their famous Paku Chai which was served in white wine that day
Usually locals will fried it with belacan and served with cili padi
Anyway it tasted nice and crunchy with sweet aroma
This is the 六味汤 means 6 tastes soup
I couldnt identify the 6th ingredient in it
Cause in west Malaysia we only have 5 taste soup
Anyway I like to chew on the ice and jelly :)
The first ever unique grill stove made of glass over the heater
At U garden in Kuching at very reasonable price
However the place was in dim light so we couldnt see the "meat" properly
The next day unfortunately I had diarrhoea caused from the clams
Nice experience though I need to attend the toilet more often than usual
This thin unique piece of egg needed a lot Kung Fu to create it
But somehow I couldnt taste the egg I could taste the vegetables in it more
The big fresh prawn grilled with wine
Taste like lobster and full of meaty smell


My last night in Kuching I felt heavy hearted
I missed Kuching a lot and his family too
Although Kuching full of pot holes on its road
Although traffic jam was as terrible as it is in Penang
Kuching is still a wonderful city and peace at night
He brought me around the city after 12am although he was exhausted
Knowing that this is the last night we could spend together in Kuching
Showing me every places he could and all the cat statues
Thanks you my love and I appreciate it a lot
Thank you for the hospitality you had given to me
All the sacrifices you had for me truly worth while


As we waved goodbye to his mummy and sister
We boarded the plane to our next destination
I could feel that he misses his family a lot
But life must carry on and we headed to Singapore
I must admit I'm excited that day to fly in the air for the first time
With someone I loved most
