Countdown New Year @ Port Dickson

Normally where do all heading for countdown every year..? Hhmm... for me, i very less go out for countdown because I hate sardine packed in the public. Usually most of the year I stay at home to surf net while waiting for fireworks.

For year 2010, I was invited by friends to Port Dickson to countdown eve. It might be weird to ask because usual countdown will be best place in big cities. I'm not sure whether it's happening countdown in small town area like my own hometown in Teluk Intan, Perak. This is my opportunity to travel other stated to see the local peoples around.

In order to avoid traffic jam, we headed down to Port Dickson early in the morning with a slow drive. Roads are very clear as most of the peoples going back early for the couples of days.Here's coming night, my friend invited to Fun Fairs in the town. With fun that we're having, we nearly forget to see fireworks.. @@ Too bad oh...

Nex Year, I been to Port Dickson beach again for photos, taking some fresh air and also relaxing my mind. This time the sea it's high tight. Sea with rough water , i like to wet my legs with water. I enjoyed the outing new year very much...

Singapore Day 1

As I promised.. Here my blog on Singapore trip last month Dec 2009. Never aspect that myself we be traveling to oversea, company organized annual dinner trip to Singapore for 4D 3N. All Malaysian staffs are invited including myself, yippie...!! We're boarding in express coach bus to Singapore that takes about 5 hours journey, it was fast as we're using Second Link from Johor Baharu to Singapore.

As we're crossing bridge from Malaysia to Singapore, I can see beautiful ocean that i can't describe with words as Singapore it's advanced country that i been hearing always. After that we checked in for documents traveling in Singapore immigration department. Everything it's new here as the process takes about 1hr 30 min because lots of people traveling during school holidays.

After checked in here we are in Singapore! Welcome to Singapore, woot~! Tempting while the bus been moving I been looking at ion city on the window mirror of the bus. Too bad i can't take photos... but i'm sure i have chance to take it after we checked in to the Santa Grand Hotel Bugis, Bugis town area.

Late evening it's free and easy for everyone, so we walk around in Singapore with colleagues, hunting food after long hours journey in bus. I continue my trip for DAY 2 later on... and let the photos do the talking...

Singapore Day 2 part I

Wake up early in the morning, i pulled the curtain and view on the window, it was cloudy day.. I get myself ready for next program. After my shower, I had my breakfast provided by hotel with colleagues. Thinking what is the breakfast in my mind, then i saw it's normal asian food that i used to had in Malaysia. Fried kuey teow, western food (toasted bread, eggs, sausages), chinese porridge. Drinks like coffee, tea, orange juice, milk provided for breakfast. Hungry that i can even eat more than usual, maybe bcoz it's buffet style and it's free..

After breakfast i checked my schedule morning & afternoon it's free and easy, so most of my colleagues have their own plans to walk around in Singapore City. While myself I met up with my friend Steven Mk Wong, he is free to bring me around city. Our first destination is to visit famous Esplanade Theatres that including world classics, broadway hits, local creations to experimental plays in Singapore.

After good exercise walk, we reached Merlion Park another popular tourist attraction took its place among the famous landmarks of great cities of the world. Merlion attracts more than one million visitors a year who make the trip to the Merlion Park to photograph this world famous icon.This is the very origin of Singapore's prosperity, with the Merlion (the city's tourism icon) steadfastly standing guard at the mouth of the river. Quaint bridges span the river, ranging from the elegant Anderson Bridge to the simple Ord Bridge. Heading upriver, you will see the historic Anderson and Cavenagh Bridges. Steven also bring me the banks of the Singapore River include Boat Quay, Clarke Quay & Robertson Quay, and not forgetting landmarks Parliament House and government offices. Mostly this place it's good for photographs ...
