Singapore with BPI

Ini tiketnya udah dibeli dari taon lalu....rencananya sih pengen dibuang aja tiketnya karena ga ada yang nemenin pergi...lagian Singapore sekali cukup lah, isinya dikit doang :p Iseng aja sih bikin thread di BPI cari temen buat jalan2 bareng. Dalam hati sih, terserah deh, ada yang ikut gw brangkat, ga ada ya dibuang ajah :p Diluar dugaan banyak yang respon, ada 15an kali ye, sampe lupa dan harus buat buku khusus buat nyatetin mereka smua *errrrrrrr dan pada akhirnya yang berangkat 8 orang sajah =)))) lumayan sih daripada thread bikinan si Rasya yang pesertanya cuman Freddy *saingan mode on*

Orang pertama yang ketemu gw adalah si Adith.

Ni orang kocak abis, narsis banget, poto2 mulu ampe diliatin orang2, gw jadi ikut malu-maluin deh disana =.="" *tercemar nama baek gwnya =)))*

Abis gitu kita ketemuan deh ama si Wa-One, gila lagi ini orang dari jauh udah tereak-tereak "siva ya?" *pura2ga kenal-pura2ga kenal* Dia ini orang Purbalingga yang kerja di Makasar, tapi berangkatnya dari Surabaya.....
Wawan ma Adith

Dan rencananya lagi kita nunggu si Dian. Wa_one udah bawa boardmarker segala buat nulis, kita nyampe jam 11, Dian rencana nyampe jam 12. Ditungguin ampe jam 1, kitanya udah laper bok ga makan dari pagi, cuman ngemil goodtime doang di pesawat...tenaga tinggal 5watt, udah deh kita jalan pelan2 sambil tengok kanan-kiri siapa tau ada Dian...kita menuju ke Train to the City....woooohooooooooo =))

Saking serunya kita ngobrol sambil poto2 di MRT, ga pada sadar nih kalo ternyata di Tanah Merah itu semua penumpang udah turun, tinggal kita bertiga aja, dan dengan damainya si MRT balik lagi ke Changi. WHATTTTTTTTT?????? laperr... mana kita kan belum booking hostel, gila banget emang anak2 udah gw tanyain dari kapan hari mau di hostel mana? budget berapaan? ga pada mau jawab, tadinya mau di bearygood, ratenya 27SGD, tapi pada keberatan, ya udah cozy corner aja 18-20SGD. Abis gitu pada nanya kenapa ga di ABC hostel aja? bisa 16SGD. Woooyyy tapi gw ogah kalo 10 orang per dorm itu kebanyakan, berasa jadi wajib militer aja gw. 6 orang masih OK lah, acceptable :)

Gw udah persiapan sih bakalan susah nih nyari hostel, biasa kan alamat suka ga ada nomernya, tulisannya kecil-kecil, jadi kita ke bugis MRT, dan cari singtel dulu. Beli 15SGD, trus makan deket bugis 3,5SGD. Dan untungnya tempat kita makan ternyata persis di bawahnya hostel kita nginep... Naek ke atas tanpa booking, tapi tetep dapet kamar sih, meskipun kita bertiga ga sekamar dan si adith yg sendirian. Untung bukan gw yang sendirian, mana temen sekamarnya serem2 ada yang gondrong segala O_o  #errrrrrrrr

Gw sempet2in mandi sih, soalnya dari pagi emang ga mandi, daripada temen2 pingsan kan, ehhhhh malah 2 makhluk yg bersama gw ini pada ga mau mandi!!! *jauhjauhjauhjauhhh Let's start the day1

DAY 1
Ke Clarke Quay. Ini tempatnya resto, pub, and club. Disini kita ketemu ama Dian, trus acaranya PPAG *potopotoampegila* di CQ ajah, trus maem malem di Chinatown. Sapa itu di BPI sifufu nanya di hawker center mana makan masih 2,5 SGD? Ternyata hampir semua hawker center harganya masih sama kok, antara 2-4 SGD lah. Kalo di mall mah bedaaa yaaaaaaaa.......(:
Abis maem malem kita ke Mustofa (dkt MRT Farrer Park) borong2 coklat...ama beli counterpain titipan temen, si adith ikutan beli counterpain buat kakinya yg gempor *ketauan ga pernah olahraga*


DAY 2
Pada semangat, jam 6.18 si Adith udah bbm: ayoo sarapann! Gw masih mau mandi kali yeee...*meskipun kamar mandi ada shower yg ga bisa nyala, ampe gw mikir, apa cuman gw disini yang mandinya jongkok gini yak? *garuk2* Jadwalnya sih jam 7 kita ketemuan di MRT Raffles Place. Dian sih pake beda hostel, parno dia kalo belum book takutnya mahal ato ga dapet bed kalo kita langsung on the spot... Molorrrr si diannya ampe jam 9 lebih.....hooooaaa maunya pagi2 tuh karena kalo agak siangan rame Merlion-nya. Ampir diusir satpam gara2 nunggu kelamaan di MRT =))) Abis itu kita ke Sentosa (MRT Harbourfront) narsis2 ria, tapi encok nek encokkkk *_* Poto2 di sentosa, ampe nyari tulisan SILOSO-beach-nya =DDD. Trus kita nekat cebur2an meski ga bawa ganti. Kalo liat aer ga bisa diem, bawaannya pengen nyeburr aja. Trus malemnya sempetin mampir MRT Bayfront buat liat show-nya Gardens by the Bay ama Marina Bay. Sebenernya ga inget juga jadwal shownya jam berapa...cuman pas kebetulan aja ini mah ada dewi fortuna lewat.

DAY 3
Pengen banget ke Chinese garden ama Japanese gardennya SG, biar keliatannya udah ke Jepun ama China, hahahhaaaa... trus kita lanjut ke Science Center, ketemuan ama temen SMA gw yg udah merit trus tinggal disini, kita diajarin naik bis deh, soalnya ke Science Center paling deket emang naek bis..mirip2 ma Trans studio sih. Bagusan Trans studio malah :p

Malemnya kita ke Orchard. Salah satu yang wajib di Singapore...poto di bawah yg ada tulisan "ORCHARD ROAD"-nya.. Abis gitu iya rencananya Rasya ketemuan ma kita sore jam 4an, tapi ga ketemu di bugis MRT, ya udah deh malemnya kita samperin ke kamarnya, untungnya dia cowo berdua kan, ga kuatir gwnya.

DAY 4
Udah mulai bingung nih mau maen kemana lagi X_X hari ini juga perpisahan ama si Adith...trus formasi kali ini berubah: gw, wa_one, rasya, ma freddy. Ratu minyak gw, ngiahaha. Untungnya sih si Freddy pengertian, jadi kita ke tempat yg belum pernah aja, daripada gw harus bolak-balik ke tempat yg kemaren2 lagi. Ya udah deh, kita ke Singapore Botanic Garden.



Akhirnya Rasya ma Freddy ini naek kereta, padahal kan enak naek bis, ada barengannya ama Cinde juga tuh naik bis 170  ke Johor,
haltenya deket dari bugis,
trus rencana mereka sih tour 7 negara dalam sebulan gila kan?

Last day: Singapore National Museum
Tadinya pengen buat catetan komplit pengeluaran berapa duit, tapi malem2nya aja udah males banget, paling si wa_one doang yg nyatet :p Dia bilang sih total 5 hari dia keluar 1,8 juta doang, excl. tiket PP. Murah banget yo?
Namanya juga backpacker :p

6 Things About HONGDAE

Hongdae, or Hongik University station is one of the most favourite tourist attraction in Seoul. I myself like soooo muchhhhhh Hongdae area. What I love about Hongdae? 
Here we go:

1. Youthful Atmosphere Nightlife
I know I know I'm not young anymore, but living in such a dynamic and lively area make me feel alive again! Hongdae hosts lots of guesthouse, so you will meet many western and English-speaking tourists in Hongdae club. 

Not just club or pub, being an arts university a famous place to check out on the weekends in Hongdae is the gathering of musicians in the small park in Hongdae, it makes a great atmosphere in the evening and the crowd that gathers there can be pretty big. A Korean band ‘10cm’ were frequent players in Hongdae and gained a lot of fame in the area. Live Music in Hongdae Park enables you to meet future K-Pop stars! ^_^
some pub and club in Hongdae


2. Street Snacks
What I love about Seoul is you can never be hungry. Every 5 steps you can find "pojangmachas" (street snacks seller) What kind of snacks? Seems I've been talked much about them. They range from savory to sweet, spicy or not. You can choose freely and they are all yummy. When I'm in Seoul, I often skip lunch and dinner because I always eat street snacks!! LOL =))) I try to remember the names of them so will make me easier to order, but fail!! -___- Finally I just choose one by one or by pointing and ask "Igeo eolmayeyo?" -How much does it cost? And.....remembering some Korean words for numbers are very useful!! 
ilcheon won =1000won
icheon won =2000won
samcheon won =3000won
Let the picture talk how yummy Korean street snacks areeeeee :p
Yummy guarantee!!


3. Saturday Art Market
Wanna get your face drawing or get cartoon picture of yourself? You come to the correct place. Every weekend in Hongdae from the afternoon to early evening you can find a small art market in the park with many stands selling hand made products. It is a great place to pick up a gift or something unique while in Korea.

Hongdae Saturday Art Market


4. Themed Cafe
Korean loves coffee, or maybe just like to hangout in cafe? Hongdae hosts twenty or more themed cafe. They are so uniquely themed and adorable. If you looking for something special to blast your day, hongdae cafe can give you a smile in a rough day.

Bear Cafe
Hello kitty cafe
I went Hello Kitty cafe and spent 4000 won for Chocolate Banana Waffle and Jasmine’s latte costs 4200won. Kinda expensive and still hungry. Haha, well we bought the atmosphere not a drink :p

Nature Cafe
This one is my favorite: Sheep cafe with real sheep!! There are REAL cutie lambs in the coffee shop. You can seat near them.. pat them.. and feed them :)


* Address: 서울시 마포구 서교동 486 B1F (서교푸르지오상가 지하 121) 
      121, B1F Prugio, 486, Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, Korea



5. Nanta show
Not interested in Nanta Show? What if 9 of 10 of your friends tell you Nanta show is very funny and a "must watch show"? ^_^ Unfortunately I didn't have time to watch them even their building is kinda near to my guesthouse... But next time if have a chance will surely have a go.

The story is about three chef that prepared meals for a wedding party, then suddenly the Manager put one of his nephew that incapable of cooking in the team. That's when funny thing started :p

Nanta show


6. Trick Eye Museum
This place is a "MUST VISIT" place. Take a funny pictures of yourself and your friend. You will have alot of fun there. Really guys, they are better than Maddame Tussaud!!  You can find another trick eye museum in Busan and Jeju.
Trick eye museum

ps: Why they called Hongdae for Hongik University?
In Korea, university = daehagyo. So Hongik Daehagyo ....we called HONGDAE.... and Ehwa University we called EEDAE :D

Don't miss Hongdae for your trip! One day is not enoughhhhhhhhhhh............hahahaaa
