last day in singapore

I don't know why, but I couldn't really sleep well in Singapore (but have I ever really slept well in Jakarta either? o_O *lol*). My sleeplog graphic clearly shows my severely erratic sleeptime! In truth, I could sleep better in daytime, and mostly was awake in nighttime (or slept very little, then I was awoken and couldn't go back to sleep no matter how long I stayed in bed trying to!). That was why I didn't really explore Singapore in the last 2 trips this year -_-

Buuuut...
It's probably been a while that I never really think of Singapore as a holiday destination :P There's really not much to explore *lol* I usually just go to Singapore for culinary and shopping purposes (don't we all? xD). And also to relax & escape from the boring yet stressful routine in Jakarta.

Ah, I forgot to mention in my last entry: I brought my own bolster! xD xD
That's because my suitcase is only one third full, and still so much empty space, so I decided I wanted to sleep well with my own bolster! But I guess it didn't really make any difference for I couldn't sleep anyway *sighs*

Last night, the initial plan was to have dinner at Santouka before karaoke at Cashbox, but then the karaoke was cancelled in last minute. So my bro, my cousins (Irene & Edwin), and I headed straight to Santouka Ramen at Central, Clarke Quay. The only chicken ramen that my cousins can eat (which doesn't have pork ingredients coz they're Muslims) was sold out! So they basically just watched me & my bro eat >_ < ごめんね~~ I felt bad, obviously. After that, it was my & my bro's turn to watch them eat at Pasta de Waraku :P And to complete the Japanese culinary session, we had dessert at Azabu Sabo. Very satisfying indeed! xD

It might have been a stupid coincidence, but I left my camera's SD card in my mom's laptop last night, so I couldn't take pictures using my Leica! That was the stupid part -_-;; The coincidence is: my cousin Irene also left her Sony digicam's memory card in her apartment as well *lol* Thankfully my bro brought our Canon 30D, so we got nice photos alright ^^ All photo-related posts will be done when I'm back in Jakarta, coz it's easier to do everything in my PC instead of this tiny Kohjinsha!

Today's the last day for shopping (which I haven't done yet!), so I'm gonna head to Bugis Junction later on. The flight back to Jakarta is at 8p, so I still have plenty of time to visit Muji, Americaya shoes at BHG, and Topshop before checking out, having late lunch with my cousin Edwin (and perhaps roaming around a bit afterwards), and heading to the airport.

And now.... I'll try to have 2 hours of sleep! ~_~

Have a good trip!

Hello Mami!

Why don't you sign up at livejournal.com so we can friend each other here? ^^
Livejournal has a nice community as well. It's gonna be fun! xD
Um, in fact, I was sleeping most of the time in Singapore, so not really having fun there :P

Singapore is a small country (only 1 city. So it's a country and a city combined hehehe). Yes, you can enjoy the whole country in a short stay. It's also very close to Indonesia, so I go there quite often.

I will post more photos of my Singapore trip later on.
Take care!
