cutest ride evaaa

evac. rode this THREE times!

p/s i never watched any of the transformer movies

okay i just don't have a good pic in front of the globe. sobs.

went to Universal Studios Singapore on a friday.

probably best decision ever.

waiting for rides is a breeze, which makes impatient me happy.

paid RM195 for the ticket and a return bus ride from tune hotel JB-USS.

ticket also includes a SGD 5 meal voucher and SGD 5 retail voucher.

this was sort of a budget trip for me.

i budgeted RM800, 

that covers the tickets, accommodation for one night in JB,

transportation, food, and shopping.

only i didn't get to shop much :P

but i don't mind.

purpose was not to shop but to have fun,

and i did :D

some tips:

1) bring a poncho (or buy one there for SGD 4) in case it rains. the jurassic park ride is guaranteed to get you wet.

2) there's a few halal restaurants inside at a fairly reasonable price, for singapore. just don't convert to RM haha

3) surau for prayers is available near the 'mummy' ride.

travel bug

added a list of 'have-beens' and 'will-be' on the sidebar.

some of the places in my wishlist seems a bit typical and cliché, i agree.

(paris? london? duh.)

but these are the places i've been dreaming of visiting since i was in high school,

and even grown up they hold a certain attraction.

maybe once i've been there i'll get over it,

but seeing as i've never been so i want to go.

truth be told, on the inside i'm a city girl.

but i do enjoy escapades to the country.

i've only been to a few places,

but i'm grateful to say that i can add more to the list.

i've always thought that i would be too poor to travel:

i don't have trust funds and my dad isn't a Dato'.

flight tickets cost a bomb and i don't even like flying.

but i was in australia when i fully realized the magnitude of the words:

looking at a picture and reading about a place isn't the same as experiencing it,

not at all.

because how would i describe the taste of butter in australia?

or the smell of perfumes i caught in sydney?

or the colour of red cherries split open by my teeth?

or a refuge of cold wind and grey sky in byron bay 

after the searing heat of gold coast?

my wishlist might seem so naive, then

but once i'm over with a place i'll be craving another,

and before i knew it

i've travelled half the world.

:)

i guess i won't share my travel pictures on fb because i don't want to seem showy.

they'll be here, where they'll be found by the people who are looking for them.

you can always give excuses,

that's why people always say they want to travel the world

but only some really do it.

i have money issues, too.

but i guess i just have to save and save

and spend them when i start my journey.

wish me luck.

:)

aussie - extras

being the one holding the camera,

i don't get featured in too many pictures.

i've always preferred candid pictures,

they look more natural -

no 'peace' signs 

(i still do it just so i have something to do with my hands)

and no forced smiles

these are from another camera - a Sony point-and-shoot:

some 'extras'
