Singapore Trip 29-31 Aug 2007

It was a very last minute decision by the management, only got to know i'll be sent for training on Friday, 24 Aug 2007 and i have to rush to renew my passport (it's less than 06 months) on monday, 27 Aug 2007. Luckily i can get my passport within a day...

29 Aug 2007 - As usual, went to work for half a day. At 12 noon, my colleague, Hazel and i went to KLIA by ERL ourself.. We were departing from KUL-SIN by MH at 1540HRS. BUT the flight was delayed for one hour and we were seating inside the aircraft waiting, waiting and waiting. And the aircond inside the aircraft wasn't cold enough. My colleagues and i had a slight headache actually. The reason given by crew was one person gone missing, but MAS only announced it after 30 minutes flight delayed. And they took another 30 minutes to off load the missing person's baggage and took off! Can you imagine how MAS system works, and i will say MAS = MANA ADA SYSTEM!!! Upon arrival, the MAS's pilot landing skill was suck, so bumpy...

After immigration clearance and baggage claiming, we wait for our free shuttle bus to Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel. After Check-in to hotel, we went for dinner at Katong Street. Its famous for Laksa. In fact, there are two or more Katong Laksa along the street. The most famous one is 328 Katong Laksa.

30 Aug 2007 - Training full day at NWA office. Met colleagues from different countries. And our training instructor was from Minneapolis HQ office. Training finished quite early actually, it's good so that i can meet my best friends earlier. We waited each other at Harbour Front and had dinner at Thai Retaurant in Vivo City.

After dinner, we walked along the bayfront at Vivo City and head to St.James Power Station. At St.James Power Station, entertainment comes in the form of a giant 70,000 square foot complex, which is aptly located within the premises of Singapore's first coal-fired power station built in 1927. It consists of 09 outlets. Peppermint Park is one of the outlet that we chilled out. The interior and external design of this outlet is super duper... i lovin it..

Regina and I were staying at Robertson Quay Hotel on 30th night... the room rate isn't cheap though, kinda disappointed with the room and breakfast served. It's only 04 dishes, scrambled eggs, bean, hotdog and bread with butter. The bean wasn't cook, it's bit hard to bite because they just poured it from the can.

31 Aug 2007 - Regina and me had decided to go to Sentosa Island for one day tour.. We walked to Clarke Quay to take MRT to Harbour front to take the cable car to Sentosa Island. We went to Underwater World, Pink Dolphin Lagoon and Butterfly Farm. Went around the island by using their shuttle bus which devided to 03 lines.. Blue, Yellow and Red line. and also their beach tram.

We enjoyed ourself there until 4pm... then we head back to Harbour Front and connect to MRT to Changi Airport to catch my flight at 8pm. I was really tired after the Sentosa Trip... Hope to go back again with friends... Fly back to KUL by SQ.. SQ's pilot landing skill is much better than MAS but the crews onboard are... i think they really need to change the crew onboard... Flight arrived punctually... clear immigration and went back home by limousine...
