KATTRAVELS: #KALOKASQUAD GOES TO SINGAPORE!
Urgh, I cannot believe that I’ve already been to my 4th country this
year. 2017 has been a year of travels for me. I’ve been to Hong Kong, Macau,
Malaysia… and now Singapore! I really won’t self-proclaim and call my self a traveler. I
mean, yeah, I’ve traveled a lot this year both in local and international places
but those are just spontaneous trips or I didn’t really shoulder all
the expenses of those travels. I really am just blessed to be given all this
opportunity to discover new and old places this 2017.
So my last country to visit this year is SINGAPORE! And what
made this so fun? I was with my #KALOKASQUAD! Okay so here’s how we ended up in
SG: We got a ticket to Asia’s Got Talent Season 2 Finale at Marina Bay Sands.
Being the adventurous squad that we are, we immediately booked our ticket
through Traveloka (We paid around Php 18,000 for the REGULAR round trip ticket
via Singapore Airlines with a 30kg baggage allowance YAY!). We got a flight on
December 13 and booked our return ticket to December 18. We don’t have any idea
of what we will do once we arrive at the country. We got a list of places where
we could go to but we don’t have a definite timeline on when or how we will go
there.
So on December 13, 2017, we went to the airport unaware of
what is ahead of us and checked-in for our flight. Fortunately, our Traveloka booking already includes our Php 1,620.00 travel tax so we didn’t need to line
up to pay for it! HOORAY TO TRAVELOKA! SUPER TIME SAVER AND HASSLE-FREE!!!

Okay, so enough with the excitement lol. Singapore Airlines is probably one of
the best airlines I’ve tried out there. Way way better than PAL (na delayed nung Malaysia trip ko lol). Our flight
wasn't delayed, the staff were super courteous, we didn’t have any trouble with
the flights and everything was just a breeze. I ALSO LOVED THEIR FOOD (but of
course I’ll never ever get the hang of airplane foods sorry).
Our first lunch at SG! (Yes, that's Donny Pangilinan okay)
Upon arriving at Singapore, after having lunch in Park Royal, we stayed at one of our friend’s
friend’s condo (GETS NIYO BA? LELZ) in Burlington Square which is by the way situated in the center of everything touristy in Singapore!
Since we arrive
at around noon time of December 13 in Singapore, we got the whole day as our
free time. Then during the night time, we went to Capitol Theater to watch STAR
WARS: THE LAST JEDI!!! Okay, don’t judge me or anything DIE-HARD STAR WARS
FANS, but this is the first time ever that I’ve watched a Star Wars film in my
entire life. Not even in TV. Like I know right, why on Earth did I just
watch this now… (Just like how I have not watched Lord of the Rings Trilogy until
this holiday season--- special thanks to my BF who made me watch it during our
lunch breaks and random date nights in Makati lol).

During our almost 1 week stay in Singapore, I can say that
we have truly immersed our self in this beautiful country. Honestly, Singapore
is not a perfect country just like how most people made us think. Yes, it is a
‘FINE’ city but it is far from perfect. But you know what made it such a
beautiful place to visit? Singapore has its own charm that we, in the
Philippines cannot achieve. Of course, we have our own charm and all (there's no place like home ayt!)… But
Singapore radiates this aura of a livable CITY. I am just so amazed the first time I
stepped my foot on their land. Everything you’ll see is just amazing. The experiences you'll get to try are definitely one for the books. The city is both modern and traditional. Singapore is a fusion of city life and rural
living. It has a magic that will captivate you once you’ve experienced their
city first hand.
