Where to go in Malaysia? Genting Highlands!! It surely is a must-visit if you wish to escape their humid climate.

We bought our Genting Highlands tickets thinking the place is just like our Tagaytay or Baguio but surprisingly, we were into something more. Never thought I'd laugh that hard in Malaysia and I never even thought I'd share that much laughter with a stranger.

Here's Resort's World Genting Bus from Pudu Sentral

Round trip bus rides and round trip cable car rides cost 22 MYR. Go Genting, a booth in Pudu Sentral, also sells package deals. Now that I think of it, we should have bought the package. Anyway, they use to have a website but it was down weeks before our trip so the only way to know the packages and their prices is to go directly at a Go Genting booth. They have more branches in different places but I only know about the ones in Pudu Sentral, KL Sentral and Genting Highlands.

I lost track of time while we were in Genting but our bus left Pudu Sentral at 12:30 PM and our bus back to Pudu was scheduled at 6 PM.

Zigzag road to Genting Highlands.
I was asleep almost the whole travel time. I just took this picture and went back to sleep again.

Genting Highlands is located within Titiwangsa Mountain Range. It's not the highest point of Malaysia but it's roughly around 6,000 ft high.

It's time for the cable car/gondola lift! I was excited because in my hands were my tickets to "a dream come true" but guess what? It was better than what I was hoping for.

Needless to say, I was also in shock when I realized how high the gondola will take us. I thought that the cable car was an attraction in Resort's World Genting but then, we found out that it is a mode of transportation to Resort's World Genting. Oh wells. :))))

The highlands is also accessible by car but the best and fastest way to get there is by riding Genting Skyway. It was said that it used to be the fastest Gondola lift in Southeast Asia. I wonder where the fastest is located. I'd love to ride that too!

I've ridden a cable car in Residence Inn at Tagaytay before but this was a lot different. Rather than a straight path, the cable car there takes the riders from the lower station in Gohtong Jaya to Resorts World Genting. Ang taas ha!

Picturesque view while riding the lift.

I am not afraid of heights.
I'm actually into these things but my friends aren't.
I laughed because I was having fun and because I was laughing at them. I was apologetic for bringing them in a place where they're scared but I wasn't able to control my laughter. At least they were able to face their fears, di ba? hahaha.

Seated beside me was an Indonesian national who've been there 2 times. And because he couldn't understand the reason of my laughter while my friends were close to tears (tearing na nga yata), he broke the ice:

Him: Are you Filipinas?

Me: Yes. Do we look like Filipinas?

Him: I just heard you talk and I know a little of your language.

Me: Oh is that so. A lot have mistaken us to be Malaysian nationals...

**continued talking**

Him: Why are you laughing...?

Me: This whole thing, I find it funny. They're acting like that 'cause they're blaming me for bringing them here...

Him: Oh really? *laughs too and said something to his companions who were seated opposite us*

Me: Is this your first time here?

Him: No. Second. I just brought my friends. We're all from Indonesia.

Me: You're also tourists then. How long will this ride last?

Him: Around thirty minutes to an hour. Why are your friends worrying? It's just the highest point of Malaysia *laughs* (What he said was a joke meant to scare my friends more. It's not the highest point of Malaysia and the ride was definitely not that long.)

Turns out jokes (and sarcasm) cross boundaries and nationalities too. Maybe laughter is that thing that bridges cultural differences and language gaps. hahahahahahaha.

We reached the Highlands Safely after all our teary eyes.

NOTE: If your companions (and you perhaps) are scared of heights and now that you know how high this is, don't continue. hahahaha. Buti hindi ako na-FO kasi kasama rin naman pala sa bucketlist nila 'yung ganito. Nabigla lang. WAHAHAHAHA.

---
Every place in the Highlands is accessible by covered walkways and escalators so it was easy to go around. There are hotels, casinos, fast foods, restaurants and theme parks in the area.

The outdoor theme park of Genting Highlands was closed down since 2013 and is undergoing construction for the rise of the Twentieth Century Fox World in 2016. This is the reason why, if not sooner, I should be able to return in Malaysia come 2016 or 2017. Feasible? It is! :D

We did not avail any ticket there so it's just us and our cameras everywhere we went. Hahaha. At least nanduuuuuuuuuun.

Inside Genting Indoor Theme Park are replicas of the World's Famous Tourist Spots such as the Eiffel Tower at my back. The other times I had my picture taken with a replica for my background... I was able to go to those places years later. :))

Some examples are Petronas Twin Towers link: here and here and Calle Crisologo at Ilocos link: here.

Someday, Eiffel Tower. <3 Kahit sight-seeing lang ulit!

There was a free magic show when we were there.

Someday, Statue of Liberty. <3

This one's really interesting but obviously, we didn't go inside. You may be wondering how were we able to enjoy this trip 'cause it's rare that we went inside an attraction but... the mere fact that we were sight-seeing in foreign country is already so enjoyable and priceless.

Not closing my doors. Ripley's Believe it or Not Musuem, see you again in 2017! hehehe.

We saw a chocolate store and I found this inside. I bought a box which did not have the chance to reach the Philippine Islands.

We were almost there. :)))) We were almost there to buy a ticket for the Snoworld but when we saw that cameras and cellphones aren't allowed inside. Kbye.

There are a lot of things to do inside the indoor park but since we didn't avail any ticket, we just decided to go outside and feel the cold air in Genting for about an hour or more.

There's this feeling of excitement whenever fog floats nearby and reduces the visibility of everything. Feel na feel mong nasa mataas ka na place.

Should you fear riding the skyway and have no private vehicle to bring you to the Highlands, you can hire a taxi from KL Sentral. But that is more fearsome for me though. Imagine driving uphill on a road with close to zero visibility. K thanks bye! Dami kong tawa pa naman sa Skyway. hahaha.

It was time to go back! Hence, cable car once again.

It was more foggy on our returning ride but my friends were more relaxed that time. We were also able to take our pictures inside the gondola and they, thankfully, laughed with me already.

It's not a goodbye Genting Highlands. I shall see you again soon!

My ghad bet! Huhuhu. I want to ride a cable car on a winter day. Where? Money, where? :))

An instagram video of the Genting Skyway link: here.

Inside the lower station is this store which has food tasting. Here enters our taking advantage part. Since we didn't eat at the Highlands, we tried the samples here while waiting for the bus. We tasted everything that was available and bought only around 4 MYR of candies. hahahahahahaha.

When we got out of the building, we saw a shuttle to a Strawberry Field in a place called Cameron Highlands. When I searched that online, I found out that Malaysia also has a tea plantation there. If I'll be able to go back in Malaysia I surely won't miss going to Cameron Highlands. Sobrang bet!! Want me back, Malaysia? Of course you do. hahaha.

Here's a logo of Go Genting booth.

Genting is pronounced with a G in "girl" not G in "genie". It's Ghen-ting and not Jhen-ting.

Look how dark it was when we left the highlands... full of clouds and fogs kasi.

And yet, it was only almost sunset when we reached Kuala Lumpur an hour later. This was taken around 7PM.

From Pudu Sentral, we walked to Central Market to buy souvenirs and to eat our dinner. You may ride a taxi of course. We're just so "maangas". Swagger ganyan. haha.

Mirror selfie at the 5MYR restroom and my uncased cellphone.

When we went outside the airconditioned area of Central Market to find a fast food, we walked across a booth selling cellphone cases. I asked the guy if he has a casing for an Xperia ZR. I've been looking for a phone casing in the Philippines and the only thing I found was a leather case worth P 2,500 so I was hoping to find a cheaper one in Malaysia or in Singapore.

He has one (The last piece! So meant to be. The leather case and my phone) and was priced for 48 MYR. Upon asking him to price it lower, he gave it to me for 25 MYR. That was 50% off! Hehehe. P 350.00 for a leather case? Okay na okay na! I reached for my wallet and found out that I only have around 20 MYR left. When I asked the guy if there was a nearby money changer (Napa-face palm na siya niyan hahahaha. Yan kami. Lakas maka check in at lakas makahingi ng discount pero walang pambayad), he told me to try entering again and see if it's still open. It was and I changed P 500.00. Another thing, my phone has a wrist strap which he told me to remove. I removed the old wrist strap and tried putting the new one back. hahaha! Shems. Face palm ulit siya eh. Pinatanggal na nga kasi, Tin. Bakit mo ba binabalik. I akwardly laughed realizing what I was doing and handed him my phone again. Dapat ata hindi Magulang To The Bones Malaysia ang Day 4 kundi Face-Palm Malaysia eh. hahaha.

My phone has several scratches at the back cover for being naked for 6 months but it finally has "clothes" on. Imported pa ah! Ang shalaaa.

My last dinner at Malaysia!

KFC's two piece chicken, bread, mashed potato (It is called whipped potato there) and coleslaw salad.

Here's the map of our "walkathon".

We passed by Chinatown night market again on our way home. We looked for a pad lock and found one but forgot to buy Malaysia souvenir shirts. OH EM.

Back in Grid9 where we spent our last night in Malaysia. So fast. Those 4 days.

On our fourth day!

Backpacking Day 4 is also known as "~~Tipid~~, ~~Swerte,~~ Magulang To The Bones Malaysia".

At first we just wanted to be thrifty by scrimping on anything unnecessary. Then, it turned out that we were able to save more mostly because of our luck. We even scored a free night accommodation at that! And then the later part of the night, it suddenly felt like we took advantage of pretty much everything. Hahaha.

OUR TIPID/THRIFTY PART:

We left Golden Mile Complex at 10 PM. The travel time from SG to Pudu Sentral took us 5 hours (immigration of both countries included), so we arrived at 3 AM.

We tried to walk to Grid9 Hotel from Pudu but we got lost and when we asked a local from a 7-11 store, she instructed us to just hire a cab because it is far. From Pudu to Grid 9, our fare was 20 MYR. There's an additional charge if you're travelling from 12 MN to 6 AM.

Anyway, when we arrived at Grid9... OMG! Que Horror! We reserved a room online (May 28), thinking that we can check in anytime. We admit that we were in the wrong for not clarifying these things beforehand but what do we do? The sleep deprived and very lucky travelers have arrived at Grid9 "begging" but more of like "forcing" the caretaker to produce a place where they can stay. Kulang na lang sabihan siyang, "Gumawa ka ng bagong building!" haha!

He kind of scolded us saying that if we knew we were arriving at 3 AM, we should have booked two nights (that being May 27 and 28) because check-in time is at 2 PM. He also told us that if we were so sleepy, we can sleep at their common area which we, of course, said no to. It's not being picky (though it is. diba haha!) but it would really be hard for us because we NEEDED beds and not bean bags. The super low batt me just sat at the corner as my friend continued negotiating with him. A little later, they rode the elevator and then when they went down, we had a room to stay in!

Just our luck and stubbornness! My friend told me that he (caretaker) accidentally mentioned that there was an unoccupied room with a broken shower knob. The shower's working when you turn it on from the shower heater but since the knob doesn't work, they opted not to have it booked by anyone. Upon my friend's persistence, the caretaker agreed to show her the room and when she saw that the broken shower knob is something that can be overlooked, she told him that we'll take the room. The caretaker agreed and here's the SWERTE/LUCKY PART.

1. It was our mistake for not clarifying the check in time but we still got a "flawed" room that seemed so perfect in our swollen eyes and tired bodies. hahaha.

2. We had no 50 MYR to give as our deposit but the caretaker told us to just sleep and deposit it upon waking up. We knew at that point that he was starting to get annoyed. There we were forcing our way in and when it was time to pay, we couldn't hand him anything. But instead of getting mad, he managed to keep his cool. Another thanks to you, Sir!

3. Our stay was supposed to be two nights (that's PHP 5,400.00) but it turned out that we slept on our "first night" for free. We couldn't care less about the broken shower. The room - its beds and beddings, its aircon, its tv- were beyond what we were hoping for when we thought we'd be spending that morning in the common area.

If you're planning on staying at Grid9 Hotel in Maharajalela, do so and please convey our gratitude. :)

P.S. I didn't post this here to advice you to do the same but to tell you to double check your check-in time and coordinate with your hostel/hostel prior your trip unless you want to sleep in a common area.

From Grid9 Hotel, Chinatown is just walking distance.

Malaysia's Chinatown is a lot different from Singapore's Chinatown mainly because of the things being sold. Unlike in SG where it's mostly souvenir items and stalls have their own debit and credit card (Visa, Mastercard etc.) terminals, Malaysia's Chinatown was less on souvenirs and more of clothes, bags, cellphone accessories etc.
If there are similarities though, they have those high plastic roof, colorful establishments, and red lanterns. Oh, even our local Chinatown has those lanterns ahhh. Can't wait to go back to Binondo and see it through a different set of eyes. Hahahaha. Duhhh.

I changed P 1,500.00 as my budget for Day 4 and 5.

Here's my brunch for that day. Locally known as Nasi Ayam (sweet and sour chicken strips) from Marrybrown in Pudu Sentral.

Visiting Genting Highlands was one of the things on our mind but it was already around 10AM when our day started so we kind of crossed that out. But that walk from Chinatown to Grid9 made us decide to push through just to escape the heat. Also mainly because we didn't know what else to do that afternoon should we stay in KL again.

From Grid9, we hailed a cab to Pudu Sentral again (for 10 MYR) to try our luck if there are still available bus seats to Genting Highlands.

Marina Bay MRT

Universal Studios Singapore

and finally, for the last part of my Day 3: Sightseeing at Marina Bay area.

From Harbour Front (NE 1) ride to Chinatown (NE4) transfer to its Downtown Line (DT19) and alight at Bayfront Station (DT16).

From the DT16 station, there's a passage to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Our trip wasn't luxurious enough for us to stay/check-in at the very famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel so we have to be satisfied with taking pictures inside The Shoppes and with the hotel for our background. Loljk. We don't have the means YET to stay there even for a night.

Upon exiting the MRT station, you'll be greeted by this man-made canal (Yes, inside the mall!) that has operating wooden boats called Sampan which you can ride for a fee. I don't have the budget to experience this nor do I want to; I was just looking forward to see the mall's rain oculus. I've seen a picture of that giant bowl where water passes through so I was hoping to have a picture taken with it but...

Do you see any water from it? :((

Imagine my disappointment when I saw that it wasn't operating when we went there. But let's look at the silver lining, this is another reason to come back to Singapore!

A picture of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands' facade.
The fact that I kind of set foot in the world's most expensive building was an accomplishment in itself. Soon, infinity pool, soon. May kasamang pagbabanta 'yan saka papa-sexy muna ko. hahaha!

Across Marina Bay Sands is Merlion Park. Across! Across! Myghad, I am loving this walking tour so much.

That lotus flower-like/white structure is the ArtScience Museum.

A lot of people are in the area. Some just waiting for time to pass while spending time with friends and family, some were alone and some were exercising. This is actually one thing I liked about Singapore. Coming from a country where your business is mostly everyone's business too, sometimes you just want to feel that other people aren't minding whatever it is you're doing.

And our last SG walking tour started there. Wooo, kanya-kanyang paraan, kanya-kanya kaming technique sa paglalakad so we could reach the Merlion Park alive and not die of exhaustion halfway. :))) Kalurks. It took us around 20 minutes of brisk-walking to get to the other side.

There were a lot of joggers in the area so it was an okay place to brisk-walk. Hindi kami others. hahaha! We thought that it's too close to hire a cab yet a little bit far to walk but whatevs, we still walked.

We skipped going to Gardens By The Bay even if that was closer to The Shoppes thinking we could just go back there after Merlion Park. But while walking along this part, we saw that Marina Bay Station (NS27) was closer. So naturally, Gardens By The Bay? Next visit na. Two days spent in Singapore and our PHP 3,000.00 budget weren't enough to go to and explore all tourist spots. Wala kang papatulan muna na kahit ano. Hanggang tingin na lang most of the times. But, I shall return!! Kanina pa ko paulit-ulit na babalik ako. Gets, life, gets? I shall return! Wiser. Braver. Stronger. Bolder. Fiercer. Sexier. Richer! Hahaha! :))

And we were already halfway!!!!!

Marina Bay Sands Hotel (the one with boat-like structure on top), ArtScience Museum, The Shoppes and Singapore Flyer.

We were rushing things that time since our bus back to Malaysia was scheduled at 10 PM; hence, the brisk-walking. But now that I think of it, we should have walked counter clockwise and passed through the Helix bridge and Singapore flyer. That way, we would've seen more of SG. Pero, aarte pa ba kung pwede naman kami bumalik? HAHA.

We arrived!

A lot of Fullerton something in the area. Not that it's a bad thing though.

Singapore Flyer, Helix Bridge and ArtScience Musem Panoramic Shot

Helix bridge, for pedestrians, is really beautiful at night. I guess this first visit just showed me the places that I'm going to look forward to next time... saka pag may maganda na kong camera. :)))

That structure that looks like Durian is The Esplanade or the Theater by the Bay.

A part of Singapore Central Business District skyline taken from below nga lang. hahaha.

They say that a trip to Singapore isn't complete if you don't have a picture with the Merlion. Dami kong kuha rito eh, wala nga lang matino. :))

Merlion is a mythical creature with a head of a lion and a body of a fish. According to Wikipedia, it is a combination of MER "sea" and LION representing Singapore's origin as a fishing village and Singapore's original name Singapura which means lion's city.

The MRT Station closest to Merlion Park is Raffles Place (EW14) and (NS26).

Marina Bay Sands Hotel, The Merlion, the Boat of the River Tour and of couse, moi. :)

Should you have s$22.00, you might want to try Singapore River Ferry Cruise. A forty-minute cruise that would take you to Marina South, Marina Bay, Boat Quay, Clark Quay and Robertson Quay. FYI (Hindi ko kasi alam kung ano 'yun kaya ako na ang naghanap ng sagot), quays are structures built on the land next to a river.

Patikim lang lahat lahat!! It's expensive in Singapore so if you're also in a tight budget, hanggang tingin na lang tayo talaga. hahaha! Pero ano naman, diba? Wala naman yan sa dami ng attraction na nabayaran, basta nasa SG ka at nakapasyal ka. hehe

Time to go back to Ang Mo Kio since our bus that would take us back to Malaysia is leaving at 10 PM and we have to be at Golden Mile Complex by 9:30. Uhm, past 7:30 PM na ata to. Intense two hours.

We hailed a cab from Ang Mo Kio to Golden Mile to lessen the travel time. I really hope that there comes a time when Filipino taxi drivers copy Singaporean drivers when it comes to giving of change. We had a change of s$.05 and instead of just pocketing that small amount (which is normally the situation in the Philippines kahit paminsan P 20.00 pa nga), our driver took his container of coins and gave us our change - he got no more and no less of what's indicated in his meter. Also, even if Golden Mile was a little bit far from Ang Mo Kio, he didn't ask for additional payment nor did he take advantage of us being a tourist. Ang sarap pala ng feeling na mag-taxi na alam mong babayaran mo lang 'yung presyong nandun sa metro. Tipong hindi ka na maiinis sa nagpapadagdag na driver kesyo traffic, kesyo masyadong malapit, kesyo masyadong malayo. At mas masarap pala ang feeling na mag-taxi na hindi ka papababain o hindi ka papasakayin pag hindi gusto maghatid ng driver sa lugar na pupuntahan mo. Also, thanks to our driver for being our tour guide (somehow) on the way to Golden Mile.

Haaay, time to say Goodbye, Singapore. It was sooooo fun while it lasted even if we got lost for a lot of times because of your complexity. :)))

Do you remember Diego, that cute boy in a TV commercial who asked his family on how does he get a girlfriend? I'm sure you do. He's PLDT Home DSL's latest star celebrity.

In all fairness, PLDT Home DSL commercials are one of the country's best and unforgettable ones. Commercials of PLDT DSL aren't only award-winning but have also managed to build celebrities from the talents they featured in their ads and a perfect example of that is Diego. Aside from those adoring him in the TVC, those people "mobbing" him wherever he is, he now has around 250,000 likers in his Facebook page and that number is continuously increasing.

It's interesting to get a response from a seven year old boy that's why more and more people have been asking him questions daily. And if the sent-in question is tough, the Ledesma family (his dad, his Mom and his Ate) are always there to help him out. Talk about one of the family bondings of modern times.

ASK DIEGO. This kid can answer grown-up questions thanks to limitless sharing and strong connections at home

Apart from his catchy TVC, you've seen him when he guested in "The Ryzza Mae Show" where he took selfies with Ryzza, in "Eat Bulaga" where he met Bossing Vic Sotto, and he was also invited in TV5's taping of "Confessions of a Torpe" where he met more of his fans. Diego even handed out flowers to mommies who were present in the PBA Finals held on Mother's Day last month and alongside hung out with the Pingris Family. He also attended the movie premiere of "X-men:Days of Future Past" where he had a fun time taking pictures with the guests. Diego is definitely seen a lot these days in public, isn't he?

But really. With his good looks and wit, who wouldn't get smitten by Diego's charm? Even Regine Velasquez said so.

Diego also makes surprise appearances in PLDT Home DSL's events such as mall events and barangay tours. He and his family surely have become a household name now. No wonder that they are constantly asked to pose for photos and sign autographs wherever they go.

Do you want to know more about Diego? Do you want to ask him something too? Then like his page and ask him here.

P.S. While I was scanning Diego's facebook page, I saw a question that I also wanted to ask and his answer was "the one who is smiling at you is the person who is inlove with you." 'Yung totoo, Diego. Umaasa na ako. Nginitian talaga ko ni Lee Min Ho eh. Hahaha! :))

"Where is Sentosa Island?"
"How to go to Resort's World Sentosa/ Universal Studios Singapore?"
"How many hours would it take to completely tour Universal Studios and Sentosa Island?"
"Why do I feel so lost?"

Yan, yan, yan. Naturingang nagb-blog, hindi marunong mag-blog hop ng maayos. Nag-research naman ako beforehand but everything was not enough. hahahahaha! I also realized that I can't always rely on my instinct especially in an unfamiliar place. But challenge me, life. Isa pang ganito, hindi na ko magiging lost kid! :))) The next time I go out of the country or just anywhere, I'll do a thorough research before going na. If you've asked the questions above before going there, you're on the right track. Congrats!!

After being lost, being disappointed of the so close yet so far Marina Bay Sands link: here. We travelled to Vivo City Shopping Mall to get to Universal Studios Singapore/ Sentosa, the Asia's Favorite Playground.

Marina Bay (NS27), ride to Dhoby Ghaut Station (NS24), transfer to DG's other line (NE6), alight at Harbour Front (NE1) where Vivo City is located.

From the Level 3 of Vivo City, you can find Sentosa Express or that monorail that would take you to Universal Studios/Sentosa Island

I forgot how much I paid for this pass but it's less than s$5.00.

I didn't know that Universal Studios is only a part of Resort's World Sentosa kaya pala when my friend was talking to her friend and nalaman nung friend na medyo half day lang kami dito, sinabihan siyang "Good luck." hahahaha. The cost of ignorance. :)))) Spending 5 hours here won't be enough, kailangan whole day talaga. Even two to three days if you plan on going to other attractions of Sentosa Island such as S.E.A Aquaruim, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Dolphin Island (interactive 'to, I think you'll swim with the dolphins or something). Meron pa nga silang sky diving simulation, butterfly garden at kung anuano pang hindi namin nakita. Pero ano naman diba, this is just the first part of my Singapore journey. I'm coming back for your other attractions, SG.

View from the train ride.
Those are cable cars, another way to get to USS, for s$29.00. I think it travels farther and not just from Vivo City to Sentosa.

Emote, emote din while hoping/wishing that it won't rain again.

Somewhere in Imbia Station. We didn't have the luxury of time to roam around this stop. Hanggang tingin lang, but someday.

These beaches are man-made.

Palawan Beach

After roaming around for a while here, we went back to the train and rode to Waterfront station. USS na!!

Someday ka sa'kin, Sentosa Play Pass.

More information about Sentosa Play Pass link: here.

Entrance to Resort's World

Obligatory turista shot at Universal Studios' Globe.
Someday. Obligatory pictures at other Universal Studios. Someday.

The feels when I saw the roller coaster ride. Ermerghed!!

But when I asked, "What time will this open?" thinking that it only closed because of the rain.
"It was closed down since last year." Shems, such a bummer this roller coaster!

So as not to miss any attraction inside USS, make sure to grab your own copy of USS map near the entrance.

USS is divided into 7 themes which are The Lost World, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi City, New York, Hollywood, Madagascar, and Far Far Away.

"New York Public Library"

Also, although there are less people going there on a weekday, I think it'd be best to visit Universal Studios on a Saturday or Sunday because there are more street shows/attractions on a weekend. Mas feel mong nasa Universal Studios ka. Wednesday kami nagpunta kaya parang medyo malungkot.

Entering Transformer's The Ultimate 3D Battle

The best for me.

Pakitalian nga 'yang nawawalang bata na 'yan.

Far Far Away's Castle

Manyak Dinosaur from The Lost World, I Think.

To our dismay, Waterworld was also closed that day. Should I really go back USS? Lahat na lang close! hahaha.

Someone from the Ancient Egypt.

Napapagod din ang mga turista! We also need to rest, you know. Feel na feel ko lang na tourist ako, noh. hahaha.

We went back to the entrance to get our food and retail coupon.

Passed by a minion.

And this?? Wala na ko masyadong alam na cartoon character.

MOWDEL?!

We just entered the nearest diner which was Hollywood's Mel's Drive-In.

This is priced at s$12 but because of our s$10 food coupon, our s$2 meal. Yan.
Double cheeseburger with fries.

Interior of Mel's Drive-In

Palit outfit for Marina Bay Sands and Merlion.

Last stop.
Hershey's Store where I bought s$10.00 worth of chocolate. Tanggal din 'yan sa whole day budget ko dapat kasi pasalubong na naman.

So this was our 5-hour USS adventure, I really wish that we had more time and stayed longer but more than that regret, I'm thankful that I was able to go there.

We rode the Sentosa Express again and traveled back to Marina Bay Sands/ Marina Bay Shoppes.
