It is done. My holidays. Singapore trip was amazing. Can't post up photos yet as iMac's still in the hospital. I somehow prefer to sync with iPhoto. :)

It has definitely been eventful. A whole 8 days!

Day 1 - A day of misses. Missed First Coach Bangsar at 2.30pm. Given another chance to catch it at Sg. Besi toll but got lost. Bought an even more expensive ticket from Causeway link at 4.00pm. Delayed at Johore Bahru custom where to bus left us with our luggage. After much panic and phone calls to main office, found the bus at Woodlands. Boarded another First Coach from Singapore custom to Novena. Reached Simei at 11pm.

Day 2 - Went Bugis and Orchard. Silvia and Carrie shopped til they dropped. Headed towards Night Safari at 6 something. Creatures of the Night show was simply amazing! The Mangrove Walk where the Fruit Bats were was the most exciting part for us. :) We ended our night with Ben & Jerry ice-cream. In the end we missed the MRT and took the cab back. :(

Day 3 - Whole day was spent at Universal Studios. Started off with bad news as Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is not opened yet, Battlestar Galactica has been closed for quite some time and Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure was closed down the day before. In the end I did manage to get my S$66's worth. And did I mention the HUGE pizza we had for lunch? Definitely need to post that photo some time soon. Our host, Pastor Chai and his wife from Moriah Bible-Presbyterian Church, was so kind to fetch us to our hostel. Was lost around Commonwealth/Queenstown area for a good 30 minutes before we found Queensbay Student Hostel. Ended the night with 14 frogs for supper with Carrie and her sister! :)

Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6 - Lots of queue-ing. Awesome speakers from around the world. Steve Munsey was my favorite. :)

Day 7 - Pixar Exhibition with Silvia, Wen Sen and Pek Ling. Had a fun time. A pity we missed out on Reinhard Bonnke's evangelistic meeting. :(

Day 8 - Last day in Singapore. A day of goodbyes. All good things must come to an end. Glad that we decided to go. Had a good, fruitful break.

Day 9 - Reached Kuala Lumpur in the morning. Plopped into bed when we reached home. Couldn't get myself to go to school at 10. Slept through the best part of the day. Went for Prince of Persia at night. Giving it a 4 out of 5. Loved the fairy-tale ending. =)

Almost 2am now. Time to recharge. Classes in the morning. 3 private students in the afternoon. Church Wide Prayer Meeting at night. Getting myself pumped-up both physically and spiritually! :)
