My sis and I already plan nk pergi USS last April, but due to some reasons tak jadi pergi. Mungkin bukan rezeki, takpe la redha je.Tapi niat dihati nak dapat satu lagi cop dekat buku merah, before buku merah tu expired.. ^o^ and yes yang terdekat ialah Singapore and mmg aim nk ke sane because I miss Singapore already.. hihi
Last month, someone from the office PM me and asked if I want to join a new technology training, of course I said Yes!! Tanpa berfikir panjang pulak tu, and apparently the training is held at Singapore. So its like dapat rezeki berganda. I mean yea I always want to learn new technology and out of blue someone offer me, bukankah itu rezki namanye? and kt Singapore pulak tu that's why I called it as rezeki berganda!! Alhamdullilah.. Yeayy
So we left from KLIA2 ( my first time there! It is HUGE!!!) at wee hour and reach Changi Airport at 7AM. Grab some breakfast at the airport and took taxi to the training centre. Bla.. bla .. bla until 5, finally took a taxi and check in Hotel. What a long day!! The hotel located at Telok Blangah and it is quite near to the MRT station. Its like 10 to 15 minutes walk. For the first night since we already had a very long day, we decided to have a dinner to the nearest Halal food which is located near to the Harbour Front station. Nothing special, I ate Mee goreng Mamak from Mamak stall which cost me SGD4.
The hotel do not provide breakfast, so the next morning we wake up early and planned to have a breakfast at the training centre instead. My oh my, we have no idea how to take a taxi from the hotel. Dekat Malaysia, dimana-mana sahaja anda boleh tahan teksi yea, correct me if I'm wrong. Hotel staff cakap boleh ambil teksi depan hotel je, so kami pun berusaha bersungguh-sungguh berdiri di tepi jalan sambil menahan teksi, but non of the taxi yang stop! non hado!

In the attempt to stop the taxi

My friends suggest to cross the street and try tahan dekat situ pulak. Hmm lagi teruk, it was a bus stop! Plus ade line kuning, which means jalan dkt situ specifically untuk bus sahaja! So jalan and jalan lagi ke depan sambil berdoa ade taxi yg sanggup cut the rules and ambil kami. And finally, ada jugak.. ^-^. The driver taxi told us that usually expatriate did not know the rules, ^o^ same here. So I asked about booked fees and he told us that if you called a day earlier to book taxi the booked fares are SGD8, but if you call on the spot booked fares around SGD2.80 but you have to wait 5 to 10 minutes for the taxi to arrive, hey its totally ok! 5 to 10 minutes is not that long =)
