First Layover - Xi' An Day 1

Budget airline does not have as much layover as commercial airline.
So when you get layover, its like having a jackpot. 

Was lucky enough to be able to layover in Xi'An on the 4th month of flying. 
Plus, am flying with my batchmate, Joe!!!!
Its always nice to have a set of nice crew to fly with. 
Long flight feels like short flight.

Reached Xi' An and checked in to the hotel past midnight.
Did not go elsewhere. 

Head to the hotel breakfast in the morning.
All of the crew went to Xi'An before except for me. 
So they are not planning to go to Terracotta

 Captain Davis says this is a must take picture for all the new crew.
He says this would be the nearest Terracotta. 

 Saw this signboard outside the lift. 
What's with the "No Slapping"???

 From the left
Joe Lee & Nicki Ang

 Forget what place is this. 
But it was near the Bell Tower. 
Nicki was looking for a shop nearby to get her Pejoy snack. 

 One of their street food, 桂花糕.

2nd nearest Terracotta. Hahaha

 This is Bell Tower (钟楼)
Didnt got the chance to go in.
Joe & Nicki have been here.
Gonna come here next time with Mike and we're gonna explore Xi'An together!!!!


After about 1++ hour walk, finally found the place Nicki is looking for. 
If I'm not mistaken is called Vanguard.
Its a small mart that sell all China snacks. 
Nicki bought a whole box of her Pejoy to bring back Malaysia. 

Went back hotel after that to put our stuff as it is too many to carry around.
After chilling a while, we went out again to another mall to continue shopping. 

For me, its quite a waste.
People went Xi'An to explore.
But I came here to shop for food and snack. 

Wanda Dept Store.
A slightly bigger store. 
Cont to shop till we drop.

Later after that, we had dinner at Hai Di Lao (海底捞)
Its a steamboat.
Its was so expensive in Singapore that is cost 2 people $200!
While in Xi'An, it only cost all of us $16 each.
And we ordered almost everything.
Whatever we can find in the menu.
Which is very worth.

This set of crew is not so aggresive.
We went back hotel after dinner.
Yeah, for those beer lover.
Beer in Xi'An is also very cheap and nice.
You can try their local beer.
Its called 青岛.

We bought some beer and had some poker game in the room.
Before everyone get some rest in their own room.
Break my own record.
Drank 2 cans of Asahi
2 cocktail
3 glass of white wine
And I'm still alive!!!
Hahahaha

*Stay tune to Day 2*

Father's Day in Singaland

Been in this new company for half a year now
Treated me not bad so far
Got off days on Mother's day, gave me the chance to fly back to KL to surprise my mum
Got off days on Father's Day too, gave me the chance to bring my family around Singapore

They were here in Singapore for some church business
Might as well celebrate Father's Day here too

Nah Daddy, not tat I dun wanna surprise u k, its just coincidentally come Singapore...so decided to kill 2 birds with 1 stone...still love u tho...<3 i="">

They drove here
After checking in, I bring them to Bugis Street
To be honest, I don't know where to bring them in Singapore
Me myself never explore the country that I had stayed for half a year
How you expect me to bring you around
SORRY!!!!

First family photo of the day

They are all so camera sensitive
Whenever there is a sign of camera, they are sure to show up in the small little rectangular screen


My ma ma & aunt.
I usually call her "Gu Gu"
Which means “姑姑” in mandarin
I'm much more closer to both of my aunties.
Was grown up together with them
When they know my parents are coming over to Singapore to meet me, they wanted to join too!

My another aunt
Usually call her “姑姐”
I'm closer to her compare to Gu Gu
Ever since Popo passed away, she is staying alone
She is also one tough iron lady..haha

Told you they are super sensitive to camera!



We were waiting for the traffic light to turn green before we were able to cross the road
No idea what we were talking about that time
But it was one funny one
I miss those laughter sometimes
If they can just remain humorous all the time than the usual kinda annoying suspection

We hang out around Bugis until Daddy & Mummy went to their church business
Then we meet up again for dinner
Its the Father's Day dinner

Was busy eating and I actually forget to capture the dinner memories
But its ok, it be saved in the brain local disc W then.

Decided to have a tour at the Merlion after that. 


Pictures were blur
But memories were fresh
Love all those laughter though...

He was in his church outfit
With Mama's backpack
Look like he is in the movie 逃学威龙 by Stephen Chow
Go watch it and you will understand

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!!

Unfortunately, Singapore is preparing for their National Day.
The Merlion Park were closed for the fireworks installation.
So we en route to the Gardens by the Bay instead







They say we have to take picture wherever we go
To keep as memories


 Daddy & Mummy
Still sweet and lovely
Wonder if mine would be like them too

 People says we look alike
Which also means we look alot like Popo
Like alot

 Gardens by the Bay
Also known as Avatar in real life
With Marina Bay Sands behind

 Sister for life
She will be going back to US soon
Gonna miss her there


My annoying bro
Looks more and more alike to my dad now
The style
The talking
Even the body size
Like father like son

I spent the night with them in the hotel
Its actually not a hotel
Its a hostel
They wanna stay altogether in one room
But budget-ly
Which is impossible
So I got them a hostel instead
Like a capsule one
One good experience though

~~~~End of Day 1 ~~~~

Still not giving up on Merlion Park
Tried our luck there again
And SUCCEED!!!!!!



The 3 siblings!!

Went for lunch after that
Still long before they need to head back to KL
Dad suggest that we go to the Botanical Garden




Waste all the time walking
But didn't get to see any attractions at all
But its okay
Wouldn't want to go back there

We walk till its time to bid goodbye
Till we meet again!!

Universal Studio Singapore

Been here in Singapore for almost half a year
And its finally the boyfie's turn to visit me
Its always been me who went back KL to see him
Finally he decided to come
And he has never been to Singapore's Universal Studio yet

He was here in Singapore for 4d3n
Did not go anywhere on the first day
I was on standby from 3pm to 9pm
So lucky that I didnt get called up
If not I dont even know how is he going to survive without me at home

On the second day, we went to USS
We had breakfast at home before heading out
Budget trip ma...have to save abit lo...hahaha

 Taken outside my condo's bus stop while waiting for the bus

 Decided to go with the couple shirt
Told him that it was kinda weird
As there is no Superman's ride in the theme park

But still wore it
Cause he really like it when it comes to couple tee

Reached there about 10.30am
As it was a Saturday, and in conjunction with the new Puss in Boots ride, it was abit crowded compared to 2 years ago when I first visited USS

 He says this is a "must-take" when it comes to USS
Love his smile
An unexpected candid shot

 No one to take wefie for us
So its a selfie then

See the crowd behind us
Surprisingly...most of the visitor today are all Indians
Which is somehow annoying

Yeap...picture with his idol...its a must tho
He says Fast & Furious 7 makes him drop tears
So...yeah...

 First ride of the day
The famous Transformer
Took us 60 minutes for our turn
But...who cares...its holiday man~~


Never get tired of his "so-many-pattern-post" when taking pictures
Silly guy

 This round Water Show was not as funny as I watched 2 years ago
Guess they were rushing out the scene due to the bad weather
Its getting gloomy and some of the rides had to force stop
I literally pushed his head into the screen to get this shot

Were sitting at the medium wet zone
But had already got wet by the sweat of lining up more than 30 minutes for every rides

We bought the ticket online and it comes with a free combo meal in Far Far Away Land
Its in conjunction with the new rides
Line up for more than 1 hour for that ride
And its only a less than 1 minutes ride



Finally, we were able to get someone to help us a picture

Able to finish up almost all the rides
And also the parade show and fireworks
Next target...Hong Kong Disneyland!!!
