Frankly speaking, I don't have good impression for 'Singapore' (continue reading if you're feeling piss off right now!!!) as a lot of my friends complaint about it... But most of them are still working there... I know the main reason for this is because of the conversion rate from 'Singapore Dollar' to 'Ringgit Malaysia'... So no matter how bad the country is, you will still need to tolerate... 

Is been a long time since I last step into 'Singapore' as a tourist... I went there a couple of times last year but it was purely business and the only place that I went was my customer place situated in 'Woodlands' and 'Marina Bay Sands' which was also one of our customer... That's it... Nothing more and nothing less...

We were really excited when we had the opportunity to travel to 'Singapore' and pretend to be a tourist for a day a fortnight ago... Actually we were attending a friend's 'ROM' and in the meantime, we took the opportunity presented at us and decided to go sight seeing the very next day...

After spending a day in 'Singapore', it changed my perception totally!!! It is a beautiful country and the living expenses is way lower compare to 'Kuala Lumpur'!!! (please don't convert the currency... what I'm talking about is earning the same amount of money in both country and try buying something similar... for example, an 'Apple iMac' cost around RM3600++ in 'Malaysia' whereas in 'Singapore', you can get one for around $1600++!!! RM3000 a month can't get you an 'iMac' in 'Malaysia' but $3000 a month can get you at least one and a half 'iMac' in 'Singapore'... see the difference???)...

Don't really have enough time to shop around as we got a flight to catch... Don't want to miss my flight again!!! (will blog about this in my coming blog!!! our first time missing a flight)... Brother-in-law took us to the famous 'Orchard Road' and some other shopping complexes around that area as we need to meet up with some other friends that are currently residing in 'Singapore'... 


The famous durian roof of 'Esplanade'!!!




Inside 'Esplanade'...




Going around 'Singapore' is really easy... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out as their 'MRT' is really user friendly something like our very own 'LRT'... 


'Orchard Road'!!! Finally have the chance to get up-close and personal with it!!! In my opinion, there's nothing special about this road... But for the ladies, this is a very different story... 


This is so very cool!!! Walking advertisement... I know we have this in 'Malaysia' as well... But the ladies are not as hot as these!!! Very beautiful looking girls (not sure about the guys though)... The way they place the ad is ingenious but I wonder what will happen if there's a strong gust of wind blowing either from the front or back??? Will these ladies be blown away??? I doubt so looking at how skinny there are!!! 


Below are some random pics of the shopping complexes that we have visited... Unfortunately, I can't remember their name... Not even a single one!!!








'H&M' is very cheap in 'Singapore'... All the clothes and pants selling in double digit... Only coats retailing over a hundred dollar... Hopefully 'H&M Malaysia' will price their clothes as low as in 'Singapore'!!! But I really doubt so...

After spending almost a full day in 'Singapore', I'm starting to fall in love with it!!! I guess my friends in 'Singapore' will agree with me on this... Exchange rate is only one of the reason and there are a lot of  other good reasons for them to be staying there (cheap food/electronics/clothing and etc)!!! But good times tend to pass really fast and is time for us to come back to reality and start working my ass off again!!! 

Leaving Korea for good and on my way back to my homeland!!! I'm really sad because I really loved the weather in Korea!!! All good thing...

Leaving Korea for good and on my way back to my homeland!!! I'm really sad because I really loved the weather in Korea!!! All good things need to end somehow and back to reality I must face!!!

This was my last meal and obviously I'm having it on-board the airplane... Frankly speaking, the food was really lousy if you compared it with 'MAS'... Since I'm hungry at the moment, I don't really care about it... Just wallop everything!!!




Very nice dessert though...



Finally I'm going to conclude my Korea trip... My God, it took me almost a year for me to blog about this... Korea is a really nice place and it is highly recommended for those who wish to go travelling!!! Ermmmm but not the food... I don't recommend them at all!!!


The End!!!

Whenever I go travelling, I make it a point to try local McDonald's... Most of the time, I will ordered those item that I can't find in Malaysia such as these burgers... But I'm really sorry to tell you that I've forgotten the name of the burgers!!!

So hows the taste of the burgers compared to those found in Malaysia??? Tough question because these burgers were not found in Malaysia... What I can tell you was I had one of the most satisfying lunch during my stay in Korea!!!



Something like 'Big Mac'... But the taste was definitely different!!! This burger came with bacon besides the beef patties...


Chicken burger for my darling... Looks almost the same as mine...

Time really flies... In a blink of an eye, it is time for us to pack up and head home... During the trip, I really enjoy myself... This is really a memorable trip for me as I've experience a lot of things during these few days... Besides food, there is nothing to complain about our trip to Korea!!! I will definitely miss the nice cold weather and astonishing scenery in Korea!!!

I'm very sure that most of you know that Korea is very famous for their ginseng... So a trip to try out their equally famous ginseng chi...

I'm very sure that most of you know that Korea is very famous for their ginseng... So a trip to try out their equally famous ginseng chicken noodle was definitely not to be miss...




They served the ginseng chicken broth without noodle and we were required to put in the noodle ourselves...



This was what happened when we put in the noodle...


The ginseng chicken noodle was really good... Much better than our previous meal... But I still preferred BBQ over this...


We were really happy that day because it was snowing and not forgetting that it was the 25th of December!!!

'Myungdong' is one of Seoul's main shopping districts featuring mid to high priced retail stores and international brand outlets...


'Myungdong' is one of Seoul's main shopping districts featuring mid to high priced retail stores and international brand outlets... Several large shopping centers and departmental stores are in the district as well...


The place was actually quite similar to our very own 'Bukit Bintang' but with a lot more shops and peoples... A shopping haven for shopping enthusiasts...



When we were there, we tried to walk straight without simply turning left or right in fear of getting lost!!! A couple from our group did get lost in fact...





If my darling was not at my side, I might get myself a FREE hug!!! :p






One of their most famous street food... But I don't know what's the name of it...







Really nice drink which again I don't know what it was...


By the time we were leaving, the whole street was literally jam packed with people... Not surprising because it was the 25th of December!!! Lots of people came out to celebrate and we were celebrating as well because this was our first 'WHITE CHRISTMAS'!!!
