Singapore, Singapore
July 19,2011
I'm excited to land Singapore, though we arrived at the Changi Airport very late, my energy was still high and excited to get my first picture and my first posting about what I have seen, been and done here at SG.

We took a taxi going to my friends house and we are surprised that we rode a taxi with a Lady Driver. Wow! I forgot to carry my bag and the driver said something in Malaysian which I don't understand. Hehehe, I was kinda Silent! and she said " are you surprise of having a Lady Driver?" I smiled and said YES! and told her that I haven't seen in Phil. a Lady Taxi Driver. The Driver smiled on us and start chatting with her job as a Lady Taxi Driver and give us a heads up of which taxi to pick up. WHITE and BLACK Taxi are more expensive compared to the colored taxi. She added that as a tourist, we need to take note also the time and the special or additional charges. She is referring actually the peak hour and the mid night add-on from the actual rate.

If happen that you don't know really the exact location of the house, the driver has a GPS built in on their taxi to easily locate the address, Bonga! then no need for you to worry what to answer to the driver if she/he will ask you the specific location. Unlike sa atoa, taxi Driver should be given a landmark first before they finally send us to right spot.
Moving forward, my first day was kinda stressful, My friend just give us the instructions how to get to the City 'coz she cannot come with us. We took our chance by getting to the SUNTEC City asking the driver with my famous line "Uncle, please drop us to the nearest bus top at (place), we reach the place and start strolling. My first impression was, WHY? ^_^ (looking at the street) I mean, where are the people? I'm expecting a busy street, busy mall and many people, yon naman pala, the people are at the underground part of the mall or crossing via underpass and not at the pedestrian. "Hadlok guro ligsan" hehehe!

Singapore is very good on their building constructions, a very organized city, very clean and very safe. Transportation are very convenient, less traffic, so many hawkers and so many shopping center to choose from.

Wanted to shop on the top Brand in the world? you can find that here, Gucci, LV, Armani, Hermes, Prada and etc. You can really have a huge selection here if you want to shop and dine. Take note, you can even have large selection of luxury cars.
And lastly, my TOP 1 for today: A cold 1.5 Liter Coke is worth $2 SGD and the 1.5 Liter Coke place outside the fridge is $1.70 SGD. Hehehe! Hmmm! pariho lang nman sila Coke but with different price ^_^. Meaning we are paying on the difference... ^_^ Anyway so much for that.
