Trip to SINGAPORE

January 28, 2013

Hello, Assalamualaikum

yeyeahh, plans for this holiday to go to singapore was accomplished, alhamdulillah.

it was a youngsters budget trip , simply said. Going with two of my brothers, samir and walid ; and a cousin of mine Aliyah. Though it wasn't planned smoothly, we managed. singapore is an easy place to not get lost, u just easily find ur way.

so the first day, we arrived already late evening, we walked around bugis st. and arab st. , then we took an MRT ( basically like an LRT in malaysia) to Marina Bay Sand, and it was so prettyy !! what a view, so picturesque. Then we went to raffles, just to see the place. we did not buy anything that day except the tourist pass to ride on MRT. Tight Budget, remember ? HAHA

the next day was a day of fun, cause we went to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE. that palce is full of rollercoasters , and i happen to be not so fond of those things. but heyy, it's not cheap to get in, so i must ride everything. but man, that was a once in a lifetime experience lah, carzy roller coaster, i felt like i stopped breathing on the ride, though the ride was 90 seconds, i felt like it lasted forever, gosh, at least i know i tried, a second round is quite impossible for me.

we conquered this

MUMMY !

3D time !

FAR FAR AWAY LAND

BUMBLEBEE

THE roller coaster

Fairy God Mother

that evening we went to the beach, man-made beach okay, but still, it's pretty. and at night we went to a show called song of the sea, which was just lovely, so i won't tell u guys the details, cause u just got to see these things urself, lovely really.

so the trip was for 3 days and 2 nights. wondering where we slept ? well actually, we have a bunch of relatives there, so we just crashed in one of the houses lahh, hahahaha. budget trip okay, hotels are so not affordable.

so that's just about it, a very simple trip.

but u know, it's always nice to see other countries just to be thankful of what we have, and see things that we can improve. for example, Singaporeans are disciplined people, really take time as gold. but Muslims are really lacking there, i mean, i rarely see those wearing hijabs, so i'm thankful to be in a Malaysia for we have majority of Muslims here.

and one more thing i learned is that, u really can NEVER, EVER judge a book by its cover. proof :

1 ) at USS, there was this girl wearing shorts, but then she went to surau and prayed. i really did not expect that

2 ) in MRT, a woman sitting, wearing short skirt, colored hair, i would not have any idea that she was a Muslim until i realized she was reading quranic verses with translation and explanation from a book. i felt like i was slapped in the face. i mean, i really did not see that coming.

so , we really cannot judge people's deeds or doings. Only Allah knows, though we might think we're good enough, we may never know that maybe the girl in USS, or the woman in the MRT is much2 better than us. though they don't wear what we wear does not mean that they're not good people. It is only for Allah to judge. agreed ?
