Singapore : The End!

Assalamualaikum. Finally it has come to an end as this is the last entry cum 16th post of my Singapore trip entry. But no worries as I have another four more to-be-posted entries to post and I bet it's going to take forever if I didn't post the entries consistently. What a shame of me...


Let's get back to the final post as I'm showing the three cards above that I was using throughout my trip. As Singapore is accessible with MRT mostly and it's the cheaper way of transportation in that country, so I decided to rent the 'Singapore Tourist Pass' for 3 days which cost me $20 and I got refund for $10. So literally I only spend $10 for train. But sadly I have to spend my dollars a bit before I can have the STP cause the first station I landed didn't have the STP counter, so I need the top card above for me to access to the next station. Fyr, I used it twice, which upon my arrival to the next station and after I have refunded my STP. As far as I know, if you didn't use the train much, you could just have the Standard Ticket, but if you're staying longer and, bus and train are your major public transport, it's advisable to have EZ Link card which mostly Singaporean use. Fyr, the fare is cheaper than the standard ticket BUT you have to pay for the card itself when you purchase it for the first time which cost $5.

The bottom and the last card is the access card of the hostel I was staying which it's accessible to the main door and the room door. I found the card is simple yet cool! Speaking of this card, I remembered on my second night and it was 10 p.m. which when I was about to enter the main door, an Indonesian girl was struggling in front of the door cause her card wasn't accessible. It was night, dark, quiet and she was alone. Thanks to "SUPERMAN" for saving her life (which was me) who helped her entered the door. So, based on this case, I'd like to have attention, for women mostly. Do not going back home or hotel or whatever late at night, and don't be anywhere but home or somewhere safe when night comes. It's pretty dangerous out there even the place you live in is claimed SAFE. I tell ya what, we never know when dangerous will come, so do buy insurance. Motive? It's not what I mean, what I meant was how insured you are, you couldn't turn back the time. You might get refund or the bad guy would be punished but the trauma? Would it lost from your memory forever? So, the moral of the story, stay safe, be safe.

Introduction

Assalamualaikum and good evening to the readers who read this first travel blog of mine. This is the third blog in the same account which I wish to post it separately with the other two blogs. This blog will be only traveled experience that I'd like to share with rather than the other blogs which is inactive and the other one is more to personal sharing writing.

I had the idea creating this blog was not long ago after I fall in love with this one travel blog which he posted marvelous photos and the enthusiastically writing of him made me want to travel and blog so badly. He even won couples of time of the best travel blog which made him officially a good travel blogger.

As for the name chosen of "skinnypantsbackpacker" I think because of my skinny shape who look better with skinny pants which is, it matched to my small legs rather than straight-cutting pants that wouldn't suit to my leg-line.

I started writing now as I'm going to start travel within a week from now and to feel the excitement of becoming a travel blogger.

p/s: Please wish me luck as this is my first time going to other country by myself.
