Skint!

Sunday, August 5, 2007

We had lunch at my Gramma's house today and it was expected that since the 4 of us travellers would be together (again!), we would all be talking about Malaysia and Singapore (again!) My sister was about fed up listening to our stories. But she'll be going to Bangkok next month anyway, so she'll have her turn at "boring" us with her exploits. Hehe.

After lunch, we were all still a bit "hyper" so we decided to drop by SM North since it was the nearest mall plus I needed to check out the 3-day sale.

BAD IDEA.

My sister and I almost spent Php 10k today. Naku lagot kay Daddy!

To my fellow junkies, some stuff to try  (not necessary the stuff I bought today):

Kanebo Freshel  White C Whitening Pressed Powder Foundation — feels like you have baby powder on your skin. Non-oily and no heavy/thick feeling even in our hot and humid weather.

the Kuala Lumpur experience

Friday, August 3, 2007

Just when I was settling in, we had to get ready for our trip to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. We woke up really early and checked out of Ft. Canning (sniff) and hailed a cab. As we were driving towards the hotel, I felt so sad. It was like I had stayed in Singapore for a long time–I was beginning to miss it already!

The cab driver dropped us off at the terminal where another cab will take us to Immigration. When we got to the border, Immigration checked our passports and disembarkation cards. After everything was deemed "okay", the Officer stamped our passports confirming our exit from Singapore. I took a peek at my passport just to make sure.

I LOVE SINGAPORE!

My itinerary:

DAY 1

July 27 - Departure from Manila

Drove to Clark at 12nn to catch our 5:30 pm flight to Singapore. I didn't realize that Immigration was so strict, they even requested us to take off our shoes for a securtity check. Good this I was wearing my silver ballet flats (check out my previous blog), at least putting them on was a breeze. The funny thing is, by chance, Mama, my Tita and I were all wearing pink. Haha! Pink is the color of the day.

While waiting in the ratty airport, we spotted Bianca Gonzales and Patricia Evangelista also waiting for their flight to Malaysia. I just had to comment: Bianca is so morena. Ewww. But she does have pretty features, I'll give her that.
