at the evening we went to orchard, and you know, because we went there as backpakers.. we didn't take any transportation from Bugis to Orchard. it took 45 minutes to get there on foot. we walked along orchard, mall to mall. we bought some fashion stuffs like clothes or bags, but we didn't spend a lot thou. we were backpacker rite. i seen so many malls, too many. and i got bored. i mean, it just like Jakarta. you can find exclusive shops at GI or Senci, but you can't afford it all. so what for?
i start to buy something from local brands, which will be cheaper if i calculate it my currency. but then, i've nothing more to buy. so, at late evening we sat at cafe in front of our dorm. and it was amazing. that was my second best conversation after melaka. we sat there, and ordered shisha from Turkish Shop. the shisa were really good.
During this internship, i bought shisha two times. first at the Indian Bar in KL which costs RM 35 (free charge for extra tobbacco) and the last at The Turkish Shop in Singapore which costs SGD 14 (free charge for extra tobacco, and free extra pipe). they were more expensive compare to Indonesian Shisha. but it kind of experience, to try different shisha from different makers.
Indian. Arabs. and Turkish as well.
Sooo... here we go to the story, we sat there, and we were start talking about our dialy life. how's our family, what's the different between one country to one country, and just talking and jokes a lot. that was fun. i'll must be missing them when i comeback to Indonesia.
in the 2nd day, i went to chinatown, little india, and marina bay. we did it on foot, yes, on foot. again. i bought lot of souvenirs, but i couldn't find anything for my dad and my boyf. what did you expect from little india and chinatown for gentlemen like them?
well, am not a big fan of chinatown like my sister elva, i hate that actually. i didn't want to spend my money for something made in china, even it was cheap. i want something handmade and unique, so totally i didn't buy anything for myself. i thought i'll find something for me at orchard, but then it never happens.
after afternoon shopping session, at evening i met steff and micha and we went together to Marina Sands Skypark, the building was amazing. for the 1st time i can see, with my own eyes (dengan mata kepalaku sendiri, overwhelmed i knew), what's the meaning of glamorous life.
we went there on foot, so we lost a bit, we entered the building from the mall nearby, stright to casino and hotel's lobby. and everyone seems so pretty. they have "celebrities restaurant" i have no idea who's gonna be there. i've seen so many laborgini, ferari, jaggy, limo, and some handmade cars! damn. "how come, they were so rich?"
i mean, effing rich!!
so i went up to the top of building, it was 65th floor. and.... tralala... it was worth the feet's pained, and it was worth for my SGD 20 :) i never see so many lights and building and firewheels from that high. and..... i missed my boyfriend and family.
actually, it happened everytime i want somewhere beautiful, then i start to miss them, i want to share the beauty of this life with them. so, i texted them :)
...to be continued.
