Singapore National Library

Erm...Don't know whether is there anyone go somewhere travel till visit library??? Frankly speaking, I purposely go to library because of a mission - borrowing the travel guide book to avoid lost in Australia =p ... I feel not buying the book as it quite costly for me to use only 2 weeks >.< ($60++ per book)

The national library of Singapore is located near to Bugis Junction. It's really huge and nice compare to my country library =p It's about 10 storeys ++ ... The escalator is sensor which mean it only works after you step your foots at the escalator. What I like is:

1. there are many types of books in Chinese, English, Malay ( my hometown library only have malay & english... no chinese books >.<)
2. short pants, sleeveless shirt are allowed ... if you not feel cold hehe (It's not like m'sia that only allow long pants , sleeve shirt )
3. bag can be taken in at the central lending department (as i know, bag is not allow to taken in at my hometown library)
4. all services such as payment & borrowing can be done by own self at the machines
5. you can give back the borrowing books at any drop center at any branch of library at anytime ... it's so convenient (I think if we borrow book at Selangor branch, can't be giving back at KL branch right??)

even the washroom is also nicer =p

there is a TV outside the department

it's introduction about the history of library through the phone

1st - Ichiban Sushi [ a Janapenese restaurant which is located at Jurong Point shopping mall. It always fully seated and had to queue up for waiting the seats]

2nd - "Xiao Xuan Feng" restaurant [ a Shanghai restaurant at Thiong Bharu Plaza. The price is quite reasonable. It only costs $20 for 2 ramen, 2 drinks & "xiao long bao". I had gone there twice since the foods are very very nice. I like it especially its hand-made ramen !! ]

Nic3 foods in Singapore

There are 3 objectives for me at Singapore:-
1st - attending job interview
2nd - playing around & visit NUS friend
3rd - waiting to fly from sg to aus

that's me =)

I been brought to 2 places to try nice foods. First is dim sum while second is claypot rice. Both these foods are famous among Singaporeans.

Prima Tower, a revolving restaurant, is famous with its dim sum. It's near to Vivo City. To go to there, you need to take MRT to Harbourfront.The unique of the restaurant is it will revolving and customers can enjoy different view of scenery while eating their foods. It take about 45 minutes to finish a circle. You will not only seeing different part of scenery outside the restaurant, but also different part of the internal restaurant. The restaurant always full of customers. Thus, it's advisable to book the seats, especially on weekend and public holidays. According to Cynthia, a cute sg gal, it's the place for rich people or businessman to hang around, either "yamcha" or doing business stuff. So, why normal people (can say not rich fellow) like us at here?? Because... she worked there before and can get a little discount =) Thanks to the discount and her intro, we can try the delicious dim sum XD

Another nice food to try in Singapore--->claypot rice which is available at a stall called "New Lucky Claypot Rice". This food stall is located near to Clementi MRT station. When come to the high popularity food, you must book the seat too before you come. If you don't book, you will take 45mins - 1 hour to wait for the food served. Claypot rice will be nicer to eat with soup & vegetables.

After back from Redang, SiewYeng stayed for a night at my house. Thus, I brought her visited KT around before going back to Melaka.

We had gone to Taman Tamadun Islam. It's a place where different countries' mosques models located such as mosques from Nigeria, China, Iran, etc... The black crystal mosque is unique as it is built by using crystal. There's a small park whereby most of the Islam countries' mosque located at. Some mosques are big size while another are small size. The ticket to enter the park costs RM 10 for adult and RM 5 for kids. Besides that, there is a "bilik tayangan" (TV show room). Tourists can enter the air-con room for free and get to know more about Islam history through the slides shows.

Many friends asked me whether is there any nice place to go at Kuala Terengganu. KT is a relax place and there is no entertainment such as cinema, shopping complex... But it has nice beach and nice foods such as Nasi Dagang, pulut panggang, and small bun. And now, it has a place to tour - Taman Tamadun Islam. It's not only suitable for Malay to go, but also other races for them to get know more about Islam and other countries' mosques design.

Currently, I'm at Singapore and will be flying to Australia on 2nd July. Will be updating about my life in sg =)

Redang Trip

I'm now in Multimedia University Melaka's FET lab updating blog...

Although I'm Terengganu people, but this is my first time being to Redang (please don't laugh me ya =p) When I reached Redang, I'm been attracted by its blue sea ... It's really really nice.

The sea is crystal clear. We were going for snorkelling, seeing corals and variety types of fish. I had seen baby shark, baby turtle, and nemo. Nemo is really cutie =)

Thanks to MJ for his pro PR skill and we knew Din and Amin who worked at there. Amin bring us go to snorkelling to see big shark & turtle. But, we had no luck thus couldn't see the big shark. But we still taking pictures with baby turtle which pet by Din. At night, Din brought us walking around the beach and became our personal photographer. Really thanks for them since they personally brought us go around without charge =)

The foods served by Redang Reef were nice and delicious. After dinner, we play poker while drinking vodka which brought by ah pok. For me, Vodka is a bit bitter. I still prefer Anchor compare to Vodka XD ...

3 days 2 night Redang trip was ended... I'm never regret been there because it's really relax, serene ...
