Little India

 Assalamualaikum! Good Morning! And Happy Ramadhan!

Morning in Ramadhan is always sleepy when you have a short sleep time. I wish to have a very good sleep during the day and it'll be great enough to energize my body. But that's just an excuse of a lazy man. Sleep sleep and sleep. A bad habit that would be hard to cure when you don't have motivation.

Indian Town in Singapore is called Little India with bunch of Indians meet and gather together, but I'm not sure whether they're local or not but for sure, most of them are Indian. To be honest, I don't really recommend to visit this place as its just a small town that sell everyday groceries and stalls. They aren't much attraction could be found there and they weren't many tourist visited on that place either.

 

I am attracted to this building as it has rainbow touch with various of colors painted on it. It's a very beautiful building with arts could be found under the roof and its windows. It's similar to the Malaysian traditional home, but the difference only on the colors. If a Malay have this kind of painting colors at home, I'm pretty sure the villagers will make fun of him in a tortured manner. LOL!

Kampong Glam

Assalamualaikum. Finally I got spend quite some of my time writing this new entry as I'm free from any exam paper!!! Yes! I'm declared myself free from those memorizing stuff that made my head filled up with atoms and it was just waiting for an explosion anytime. But thank God, that's just it and believe me it won't explode, it just blew away. It was pretty sickening with study and work at the same time but Alhamdulillah I believe I've managed it well. 

Alright, get back what I've left before. After Bugis, I went to Arab Street and Kampong Glam and those two streets just beside to each other. It took about 5 to 10 minutes walking distance from Bugis MRT Station. The Islamic culture could be found in Kampong Glam as many of the local Malay and Muslim doing the worshiping activities in the Sultan Mosque.  Plus, it's very convenience to find Halal restaurants around there.

This place is very convenience among the tourists, mostly to the Muslims as they can perform prayer at the national mosque, shop at gifts shops, even staying place at hotels or hostels that are available around the area. This street was not busy at all during my visit compared to the other places but that didn't mean it have small numbers of visitors. The visitors were keep coming but they didn't stay for too long as the place is not big.

This was still early in the morning and the store didn't ready for an opening yet.

The interior of Sultan Mosque.

 

Non-Muslims are allowable to enter the mosque for those who wish to enter it as they provide clothes to cover the body and head (for women), as men they can enter it with proper clothes and wearing pants with knee covered, but I've no idea whether it's chargeable or not as I'm a Muslim and I'm free to enter the mosque as I wish. I didn't bother myself checking that out somehow. It's advisable to wear proper clothes before entering the mosque and please behave your attitude while you're in the mosque due to respect as it is the holy place for Muslim.

Bicycle rental for tourists in front of the guest house

I've no idea what's the name of this exercise but actually I found it inconvenience to perform this kind of exercise in the middle of the street and in front of public. But who cares, they just exercising.

Look at the street, it was very small and I was thinking if it were crowded, it'll be a big problem. But thank God, it wasn't!

Bugis Corner

Assalamualaikum. I've posted two posts in the same day respectively! WoW! What an improvement. I rarely had my time to edit these photos since this month is full of stress! But today I have plenty of time wandering around because there's nothing much to do in Langkawi, I think I've explored much here two days ago. I'm wandering at this airport like four to five hours. I gotta say this is boring and exhausting. 

Back to the main topic, Bugis is the first place I've explored when I was in Singapore. It was the cheapest place among the other places. Also, it's advisable to shop the souvenirs around here. I dare to say  you won't expect cheap stuff in Singapore. I chose Bugis as the first place because I have to drop myself at Bugis MRT station in order for me to reach to my staying place. Let's enjoy the photos below!

 

 

Last day in Langkawi

Assalamualaikum. This is a live post from Langkawi since I bring my laptop to this trip. At this moment, I'm hanging around alone in the hotel lobby surfing the internet and is worrying about the problems that will come afterwards once I reach home. There are many things to do and to think in very serious manner since my final exam is about to start in short couple of weeks from now, and another trip with company will come along in the middle of two papers. It's lot to be done in a very short time. Plus, there are two unfinished assesments that has to be done in two days! This is stressed me out and made my trip become inconvenience. I should've stop worrying about these stuff while traveling. This made me learning how to plan and manage the time better in the future.

Woodlands Checkpoint

Assalamualaikum. Claiming Singapore as a foreign, oversea, other country and whatnot is very awkward. Yes, Malaysia isn't slightly different in term of economy but way too far behind compared to this small country and it will take more more more than couple of years to be competed. What I'm trying to explain here is, it take less than 5 minutes to arrive at Woodlands Checkpoint from Johor Bahru. On top of that, we can see the same cultures, races, religions and also same languages spoken. So none of them is rare to me.

Turning back to the main topic, this is the first place I was landed into this country. Why is that? I rode the KTMB train because it way cheaper than air plane and many other public transportation. I chose by riding a train because it has bed which is I've saved a lot in term of money and time. I can leisure at the day and have a good rest at night. It was three days and two nights trip in Singapore but if I plus the journey time it'd be three days and four nights. I took the night train btw, and also I had a very good sleep because I was exhausted of activities I did during the day.

You can find the journeys made by KTMB at this website and also you can book it online. But, if you buy the ticket from Singapore the price will be doubled because it based on currency. SGD is quite expensive compared to MYR. It wouldn't be different price if you buy return ticket from Malaysia. The amount is remain the same. I took upper bed which cost me RM80 for return trip from KL Sentral to Woodlands. 

I didn't manage to capture any photo of the train but I just feel like snapping after I had a good sleep which is after reaching the arrival station.

Singapore : The Beginning

Assalamualaikum. An exciting feeling is flowering in my heart while I start to write as this is a very first post of my travel experience. I do think it's best to write less, but it would be better with attachment of bunch of photos. Fyi, I'm such a bad writer and photographer as I'm still in learning process and a beginner in many areas. I'd turned 24 on my upcoming birthday this year but I just found out my interest which is too late for my age. Finding 'it' faster for the next me is a hope to create a good person (future kid I mean).

Below are the PLACES OF INTEREST! Go check it out!

 

 

Of course these aren't the only photos I've had taken since it's the teaser. There are plenty of them to be chosen. I just pressed the shutter button all day long since there's nothing much to do other than walking and sight-seeing. But that was a good thing actually as I learned about photography by myself a bit. For now, I'm looking forward to learn it in a professional way. I'll have more photos in the next-next post. Till then. Bye.
