Kota Kinabalu -> Singapore

6:30 a.m. - I really don’t know why but I woke up at 5:30 a.m.
where Femke was about to leave. So I said again goodbye and gave her a last huge. Later I got ready for our flight.

7 a.m. - We arrived at the airport and did all the flight stuff. Afterwards I bought a coffee at Starbucks. I had to wait ages and it was quite expensive. Unfortunately I had no chance to finish it because it was to hot and I had to pass another security check + there was already the last call for boarding. I rather should order a Cappuccino or a Latte instead of a Americano.

8:40 a.m. - Departure to Singapur. I wrote the hole flight my penguins.

11 a.m. - We arrived in Singapur. The city looked already crazy from top with all the skyscrapers etc. After we picked up our bags and I changed the rest of my malaysian currency we went to the jewel building. It is a insane shopping mall with a lot of activities. They got some maze some climbing garden etc. Furthermore they have this huge waterfall in the middle of the building surrounded by plants. Not gonna lie it looks really insane. We got hungry and bought some snacks in a supermarket there. Afterwards we tried to find our way out of the airport to the center with the MRT. The airport itself is a maze because he is huge. Anyways we found the MRT and Eli wanted to eat in the metro. A friendly guy explained to us that this is forbidden and you get a fine of 500$ + we forgot that you have to wear a mask in public transport.

1:30 p.m. - We arrived in the area of my hostel where we found a food court for proper lunch.

2:30 p.m. - I arrived in the hostel didn’t liked the vibe and employees there from beginning on. Eli dropped his bag there because he couldn’t check in in his hostel.

3 p.m. - We went outside and walked to the Arab Street, Haji Lane and surroundings. It is a trendy hipster neighborhood with a lot of colorful bar’s, restaurants and shops. Furthermore some street art and the contrast from the old buildings with the skyscraper skyline looks amazing.

5 p.m. - Afterwards I went back to hostel and showered in a disgusting shower. The hole bathroom wasn’t clean and didn’t got cleaned once during my stay.

6:30 p.m. - Later I went out again to meet up with Eli. I took a two floor public bus to his hostel. It was the first time that I didn’t bought a sim card so it was harder to find the way and in general information. First I went into the false hostel but I was glad that he didn’t stayed there because it looked very nasty and smelled like shit. After I found the right one we met up with Victoria, a local girl and friend of Eli. We just walked around and Victoria showed us around. First we went to Boat Quay where we walked trough the bar street and had a look at the skyline. Afterwards we walked along the river until we had a good view on Marina Bay. Coincidentally we saw the Marina Bay Sands Lightshow from far away. We got hungry and walked to Lau Pa Sat a huge food court. There Victoria showed us the satay meat sticks. The are very famous, quite expensive but good. I tried the lamb and beef one’s. You eat it with rice cake and a delicious peanut sauce. Afterwards we just chilled there and had some interesting conversations until I took the last MRT to my hostel.

P.S.: The have a nice system for the public transport where you just have to tap your credit card before you enter and before you leave. The automated in general a lot of things.Read more
