ok note to everyone that goes spore, SWITCH OF UR PHONE!!! i went into spore thinking "ok i have RM25.. that shud be enough" 1 sms back to malaysia is RM2, smsing my friend in Spore is RM2, ppl calling me from anywhere, ill be charged roaming fees.. upon reaching spore.. my credit has droped to RM16.. and dont ask me how or why but it continue to decrease!!! i didnt even sms anyone.. n only pick up calls when necessary.. erghh anyway came back from spore with RM0.47.. depressing :(
anyway, the trip was not a relaxing one. i brought sleeping bag coz i was staying with my friend who only has 1 bed so i slept on the floor. save on lodging.. heh.. oh in singapore,while still on the bus i saw a shop called "Greatly Lighting ___" (the ___ being Sdn Bhd only in spore terms) hmmmmm.... anyway, bus dropped me at Novena sq. Met my friend there n since i didnt have lunch OR breakfast, bought a moss burger. (but i bought a bun prior to that tho..on the bus.. and ate free waffle given by bus service.. tasted disgusting but hunger prevails)
i shall not bore u with details.
Day 1 (carrying baggage throughout whole journey)
-went to Sim Lin, low yatt of Spore n met my friends friend to scout for Webcam to purchase for Ngee Ann Polytech. (darn funny)
-Search for guitar. Bus n walk
-Met bro's friend who passed me money in Sing Dollar to pay for guitar. Suppose to meet guitarist friend but he wasnt free. Met the drummer of the band instead- not much help.
-Ate food court, went home. went "mamak" eat Chinese food.
Day 2
- woke up late- guitar shoping the whole day.. walk until leg pain.
- COULDNT FIND THE GUITAR BRAND THAT I WANTED. and also couldnt test out guitars that i wanted coz OUT OF STOCK.. sighh.. where are the taylors..sighhhhh..
-bought in the end at bout 8+pm.. the salesperson sensed my urgency to own a guitar henced chopped my ....... err.. i mean didnt give me discount or freebie. damn old man.
-my heart ached. ive never spent so much money in my entire life.
-i was depressed for awhile
-witness accident.. stopped to watch.
-watched harry potter- new cathay cinema- really big. bigger n nicer than One Utama's GSC. $7 <-- ripoff.. went home at 1. Day 3 -went to Ngee Ann Polytechic. They have 4 canteens and a crazy crazy library. its 1928312098309 times better than sunway university college's library. Its SOOOOO nice.. n very cool. i mean.. it even has CSI, Smallville, simpsons, ranma 1/2,cartoons, lots n lots of board games, comics-xmen,marvel stuff, Tintin, Farside gallery,dilbert, garfield, EVERYTHING.. n lots n lots n lots n lots of books... all the latest magazines.. sighh.. makes our national library look like crap.
-went home
Misc:
-spore ppl walk faster than u. yes they do.
-pedestrians ARE the king of the roads. u can just stand there n people wont honk u.(given its a zebra crossing) -Bus services are crazily efficient.
-Their traffic lights are crazy.. 2 directions can turn green at 1 time so the one turning must wait for the cars going straight even tho their side is green. -Relatively
-tap water made my stomach ache,man recycle shit water sure tasted different.. maybe its psychological.
Malaysia VS Spore- debatable. i think id rather stay in spore if i was born there but since i grew up here kinda attached to Malaysia. I mean, recycled shit water?! common... messed up...
ps- if i had a camera of sum sort id show u my guitar but i dont :\ its a takamine- coldplay uses taka.. i think :D
