Day 1: Changi, Intercon, Bugis, Clark Quay

We arrived at Changi Airport via Singapore Airlines around 5 pm. It was a good flight, with very minimal disturbances. The food was ok (baked fish with lemon dill sauce, baked potatoes, and cold beef pasta salad), though I found the fish salty. The movie selection was good too, and I got to watch "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." The small screen was not at its best but manageable.

Going through the whole airport thing was a breeze, and we were very excited to take our MRT ride going to our hotel, Intercon. I kinda studied the MRT system already prior to our trip (yep, I had too, as my knowledge on this is rusty already) so it was not really much difficult. What was funny though was my sister left her card in the tube, so we had to stifle our laughs for fear of irritating her. Good thing when we arrived at Bugis Station, the lady who we asked for help just sent her through after seeing our baggage.

Our location was very nice and convenient indeed, and we loved the fact that Intercon is connected to the Bugis station via the Bugis Junction. Grocery was there, food court had a nice selection, and shops galore. Hehehe. Intercon looked good also, and our room was very nice and big. Its design was a bit "traditional" unlike where I stayed the last time when the furnishings and beddings were ultra modern and sleek.

We rested for a while before having dinner at the Junction food court. gash, when you convert the price to peso you'd be shocked with the high price but it's ok, it's always like that, right? Hahaha. Then we just took the cab going to Clarke Quay. That was my request because I wanted to drink and taste the nightlife (I loved it when I first went there). The place was, as expected, full of people, loud music, lights and all. I didn't drink though. Awww. I wasn't feeling it, and maybe because I was tired too.

We walked for a bit and took some pictures (of course) and discussed what to do the next day. We decided to go with my plan of heading to Orchard first thing in the morning, then Night Safari at night.

What we noticed was though there were a lot of people and teens just drinking their own booze either at the side streets or at the bridge, the place (and Singapore itself) was very clean and kept well. But I'll just blog about that later on.

Anyways, we spent some considerable time there, appreciating the view, the place itself that was full of life, and of course, people watching. Tehehehe. We came back around 12 midnight via taxi still (wanted the MRT but we felt we're already tired), and took our well-deserved rest.

Day 2 coming up soon!
