It takes approximately 3 hours to get from Philippines to Singapore, ETD (estimated time of departure) is 6:30am but we started our day at 3am of July 24, 2009. Ji and I didn’t have much time for sleep coz we got home just around midnight and we had to pack our stuff. Not really the best way to start the trip =_=.

Deprived of sleep, Ji almost left Yotsuba at home…
she seems more excited compared to us. :D


Turns out Singapore have 3 airports, since we used Cebu Pacific airlines we landed on Terminal 1 also known as the Budget Terminal. We took this bus to Terminal 2 to fetch my cousins Rachel and Sabrina coz they are flying in via Philippine Airlines.

McDonald’s Seaweed Shaker Fries and
Double Wasabi Fillet-o-Fish with
Jasmine Green Tea beckoned us…
we were too weak to resist :9. It was gluttony but we’re on vacation ^_^.


To the hotel
We got a mega taxi for S$50, seating up to 9 persons which was exactly our number. You can get one at the helpdesk in the airport...or you can also get one of these taxis in Singapore, it’s a Chrysler for crying out loud! Of course, they charge more compared to a regular taxi. Occasionally we also see some that are in white Mercedes Benz(s).



Arrival at Novotel, Clarke Quay


The hotel room...


Off to have lunch again... we ended up in McDonald's coz we're broke right now, lolz.

A very happy Ji upon finding one of her most missed sin in Hong Kong - a Milo McFlurry.

Now that everyone's recharged we can get moving. It's about 2pm and we're right on schedule, the itinerary says it's time to go to my top priority in this trip, Chinatown!
... or so I thought. >_<
