Clarke Quay

Assalamualaikum and Good Morning! It's Clarke Quay time and I have uploaded bunch of photos in this one entry. Great! Pat on my own my back lol! I was very excited while uploading the photos because I was impressed with the colors of the buildings and beautiful neon lights that can be seen at night. It was such a beauty!









This is a highlight activity if you were in Clarke Quay, you would like to ride this boat and it'll bring you sightseeing along the river but I didn't know know how far and how long it'll take since I didn't ride one. I have rode at Terengganu and Malacca, and I'm quite sure the feel is same but the only different lies on the view. It was quite pricey compared to the two places I mentioned before. So I didn't bother myself to ride one.
 









There is a shopping mall opposite of the Clarke Quay called The Central and MRT station was in the building at the lowest ground. If you think afternoon is too hot to handle, you may cool down your body by wandering around at the mall and grab as much drinks at your own risk!

 


ARE YOU LOST???
You may find your way at this CQ directory.

 

Pedestrian walkway could be found easily throughout Singapore since walking is preferable than driving. I was attracted to this tunnel because it has mural touch on its walls. It's beautiful and believe me you won't be scared while walking inside this tunnel even it was quite.






NIGHT LIFE AT CLARKE QUAY

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!
