Welcome to Universal Studios Singapore! The closes to Universal Studios theme park I can go to from Malaysia is of course located in SG. And what a fun and eventful holiday trip I ever had!
Day 1
It was a Chinese new years' holiday and my family had planned to travel overseas so we began discussing what places we hadn't visited. At the same time, my mom had managed to get her hands on a discount coupon because of the genting world card.
The more I use the genting world card, the more reward points I can gather, and there's a handful of places that this card can be swiped for points. But this is a long process and because it's being used to trade for staying in resort world singapore, it takes a significant amount deducted. The card however is from my aunt, and her family spends alot, and travel alot, so the points she had gather is quite huge. But since they didn't use it, my mom just asked her if we can use her card to spend on the resort world sentosa. Of course, initially we wanted to book a room in hardrock hotel but it was already packed, so we had no choice but to stay in the one just a few walks away. Although it is smaller, it isn't terribly bad. 5 of us have to find our way in that one room, and there is one lacking bed so my bro decided to sleep on it.
So after we did the booking and stuff, we of course searched for a flight and we used air asia. It is the cheapest flight there compared to some. And the day before, the usual me began to pack the gadgetry because this place cannot go by without those. This time round however, I decided to take the video camera which is a camcorder, while i leave the photography part to my brother. I assumed we were going to walk around quite abit and the camera is a little too heavy for me and it's becoming a burden. The camcorder is quite tiny in size and i wanted to get myself into videography so i took that. I slipped in a few memory cards in there, and this time i had a 32gb sd card so it should be enough for the entire trip.
In the morning itself, we then took a taxi which is a friend of my dad, and headed off to the airport. The earlier the flight the cheaper it is, but man it sure is tiring. As usual when we are at the airport the first thing is to eat and we always chose mcd because it is somewhat the easiest and more convenient. I'm not a fan of long flight because there's not a whole lot of things to do on the airplane. Except this time round, I brought my ipad and loaded it with kdrama. Now i wasn't a fan of kdrama at all, but because of the curiosity of why kdrama is the preferred tv shows to watch rather than other languages, i took it up one day and the 2nd one was secret garden. What about the first one? It was a long time ago and it was a very sad tragic love story and it goes by the name of autumn in my heart. Since then my impression of kdrama was always negative being that they like to turn the characters into sad and separated. But it all took a turn when years later the 2nd one i picked up made a difference. Only then did i realized that is how it is shown. Every race has it's own set of culture and personality and i began to adapt towards the K culture.
