Universal Studios Singapore

Assalamualaikum. Most of the people who visit Singapore will come by to this place, at least once I reckon. The place was very entertaining yet exciting, and I really hope to come back again with the friends of mine next time, so I'd gain more enjoyment with them! Literally, I'm looking forward on Universal Studios in Hollywood and Japan. But if in Japan, I was wondering what kind of language do they use in Donkey Show? When I was in USS, this show do a lot of talking, so it'd be my biggest concern before entering the Japan Studios. Fyi, I'd recommend to come on weekdays instead of weekend cause the crowded are twice or thrice more than regular days. You won't wasting up your time by lining up the queue all day long and leave the place without trying all of the games that you have paid, right?


The globe people would never leave before taking any photo in their machine lens.




I have no idea if you can bring your own wheelchair or stroller before entering the place. But using the electric stroller is better. 



You'll meet the Hollywood City first after entering the entrance. See, how's difference the crowd compared to weekend. It was very few, but I'm sorry I didn't have the weekend photo for actual differentiation.



The souvenir and gifts store. The price? You tell me! But I managed getting two things before leaving the place, and it worth for couple of dollars.



My first ride! If I were a kid, I'd say that was the coolest ride ever!


You'll never know what inside the entrance cause it didn't show the cool parts from outside.But, once you started to enjoy the show, you'll be awed from the start till the end of the show.


If you're running out of time cause you didn't have much time to play the games, do not bother yourself queuing up for photo with the characters.


Transformers! I give 10 stars! My favorite ride ever! When I come again next time, this one will be the first! Very syiokk!!!



Let's wish the bumblebee is transforming for real! I'll own it right away, no matter how much it cost me. *kidding*







I wish something but I treasured nothing!






A dream castle? Only for exterior.


Donkey Knight Club! I enjoyed so much. The host was fabulous and the donkey was being... a donkey. A funny donkey.














Live action movie! It was really great, and I never imagine watching something like that right in front of my eyes! Shooting and fire for real? Totally AWESOME!




I bet it must be hot in those costumes. I didn't know how did they managed to dance in those costumes and under freaking hot sun. I salute you guys!

Shophouse The Social Hostel

Assalamualaikum. I woke up a bit earlier than usual today like I was preparing for fasting, but actually I'm not. What exciting me the most of early morning is, it's super duper quiet since it's a bedtime for most of the people, while I prefer to have daydream, hibernation and reflection on myself. I think it's a pretty cool thing I've done so far and I'm proud of it. See! the coolest thing for me is the lamest thing people would think, I guess.

So, this was my staying place while I was in Singapore, the Shophouse Hostel! It was my first experience staying in this kind of hostel and I rate it 8 out of 10 stars! Frankly speaking I used to live in hostel, dorm or whatever you call it, but that was when I was in school. But of course it have lots of differences between the school hostel and this type of hostel. I mean the school-hostel is self-service, while service-hostel is more like hotel but of course it lacks in term of facilities. I had a really good experiences while I was leaving at Shophouse and for sure I'll stay at this place again when I'm going to Singapore in the future.


The cafe is at the lower ground and the cafe cashier counter cum receptionist is at the same place. So I was a bit confused while I was about to check-in because I thought the counter might be in different places. But how do you expect the small space to have many counters, right?


Shophouse The Social Hostel is located at Arab Street, it's very near from Kampong Glam. If you plan of going here by MRT, do drop yourself at Bugis Station, next to Raffles Hospital.




This is the counter that I was talking about. The staffs are local, friendly and young! I bet they're in early 20's.


I was about to check-out! Keep it clean and no-mess, ya!


The washrooms were very clean and I like it.


This one was very small and I didn't bother myself to enter the room.


The breakfast menu but you can have these for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper as you please.


See! The Sultan Mosque is like one to two steps from this place. Freaking near!


The Raffles Hospital which is next to MRT Bugis Station.



Rooftop Balcony






The mingling place for travelers.


Leave your marks here, pals!


This is how to educate people and I like it. Rules are made for education and it's good... to be good.
