Trip down to SG

This is going to be a travelogue from yours truly.

I flew in via Tiger Airways on their 1st flight out from LCCT. The plane...i think it's a bit smaller than Air Asia but the seats are much better than Air Asia. Air Asia seats are like trying to make you sit in a proper sitting position. Remember how our mothers told us always to sit up straight. That is how Air Asia seats are. But Tiger was in a slightly relax position. The stewardess uniform was the simplest uniform I've ever seen in my whole entire life flying here and there. They only wore a yellow t-shirt, a pair of black jeans, a tiger stripe scarf and their name tag. I guess if they are not on duty, they can just go out wearing that and no one would guess they are Tiger's stewardess. Very very simple.

So I left KL in an early morning rain. I was so scared that my flight will be delayed but apparently they flew on time. Sharp 8:45am. There was a bit of turbulence because of the bad weather in KL but later on, it was ok. And on the plane, I was wearing my mask because dear Celine asked me to wear the mask inside the flight. While the plane were having some turbulence, and my mask was on I felt suffocated the entire journey. All for the sake of Celine.

After about 50 mins flight, I landed at Changi T3 and the evening that I arrived, Singapore started raining heavily. It kinda spoil the whole plan to walk around. But me and Aida managed to spend time just sitting at the riverbank while waiting for the rain to stop. It was so nice and relaxing just to sit there and do nothing. The view...priceless.

One day I would stay at the Fullerton's Hotel. The most expensive hotel in SG. But for now, I can only see it from far ...

Another priceless view

The building across the river is exquisite. It's very colonial. I can just stay there and look at it for a very long time without getting bored.

Oh...I must write about the hotel I stayed on Sunday. It's call The Royal Peacock Hotel. The whole environment around that place makes me feel as if I'm staying in Melaka. Because of the old architecture and building. It's so authentic and historic. My room was just nice for 1 person only. Just like what they advertised. The bed was like a sleigh so I felt as if I was going for a sleigh ride in my dreams. Early Christmas...One more...the painting inside the room. It's a peacock painting. Hotel's name is already The Royal Peacock and the painting inside the room is a peacock painting. No wonder it's called The Royal Peacock. But no..I didn't come out looking or acting like a peacock.

A sleigh ride in my dream on a sleigh looking bed

The view of the entire room. Can only fit 1 person.

The door, the bathroom door and the wardrobe. The bathroom door looks like a food cupboard's door ...and it has no lock. You just have to open like any other cupboard and close it like any other cupboard.

Here is the signature painting. A peacock.

The next day, I moved to the official hotel for my stay. Ibis Singapore on Bencoolen. The 1st thing that came into my mind when I came across the word Bencoolen was Phileo's Hotel 81. This hotel....kinda made no justice to what they advertise. At all. Before I flew in, I was browsing through the website and the pictures are like ...so tempting and luxury and nice. But the moment I stepped in, I was speechless. It was really a basic standard room. I mean, my peacock hotel is not as basic as this. This hotel has a doorless wardrobe, no dressing table, the minibar is like ...doesn't look like a minibar at all. Oh...one more thing. The mattress is really hard. It's like sleeping on pieces of wood. If I had to pay for all this...I would rather stay at peacock. At least the bed looks nice. The mattress was slightly soft. Although the building looks ancient but hell...I like antiques.

So this is the front view. A table and a so-called sofa

View of the entire room. Never trust pictures the hotel posted on their website. They're deceiving

The bathroom

The TV. Amazingly, the hotel has branded the TV with the name of the hotel.

The two single bed. So close to each other that you can simply touch the other bed.

The wardrobe without a door

Oh well...looking at all this, I miss my bed and my mattress already. And I can't wait to go home and sleep on my bed and my mattress. Can't wait to go back home tomorrow....
