Hello!
Haaa, last time I told you that I will have my short trip to Singapore to see my favorite female indie singer; Ingrid Michaelson live in concert at Esplanade Concert Hall! So, I'm now back in Jakarta (facing a really dark reality, though) and ready to serve you a thorough report about my trip there.
DAY-1
So, on September 8th, 2012, I headed to Singapore and arrived in the evening. Actually, my friend; Riska (she's my junior during my senior high) told me to take the taxi to her place. But, well, since I was tight on budget and I have enough time to wander around I dared to take the MRT all the way to her place. Actually, I already prepared for this, so I check the route and took the MRT to Somerset St. Then, I asked some old ladies on how to get to my friend's place by walking. And they told me to take the taxi. I regret it so much since on the way there it's really near! (grr, damn old lady).
So, Riska's place is really nice, it's located near Orchard Rd. and Somerset Rd. After taking enough rest and shower, she took me to dinner near her place. I forgot the name, but it's Indian cuisine (it's similar to warung pinggir jalan in Indonesia since the tables were placed on the pedestrian walk instead of inside the shop). I tried a drink called Teh Cino. And it is really recommended! It's addictive anyway!
After that, she took me to Clarke Quay to enjoy the night view there. Since it was Saturday night so the place was full of crowd. After that we headed home and took a full rest.
DAY-2
Today was my solo adventure. Well, Riska had something to do and my fellow couchsurfer was not available till evening. So, I just went around by myself. I just wandered around the Orchard-Somerset though. Surprisingly, it's Merlion's birthday this month and I took some pictures of the celebration of it in the Orchard.
