I'm quite free after the last project has finally delivered successfully. No much task on hand for 2 weeks. Finally got a chance to attend a new product training at Singapore. Wow. It's great thing for me. I've been longing for business trip for so long. Although it's just 40min flight distance from Malaysia, but still I'm satisfy with such a good opportunity to getaway for a while and take the chance to pick up new skill. But this assignment is a rush decision, boss informed me in the morning and gotta proceed with flight & hotel booking at the afternoon. And, I'm flying after few days.
Once I got the news, first thing is i talked to loosin and TY. TY agreed to meet me up at Singapore during the weekend and we'll go for some photo outing. Loosin also agreed to meet up and bring me around. Finally, got a big help from Shaywen who agreed to host me for the weekend. I've got frens, I've got place to stay and I've got frens to bring me around.. how lucky I am? *Wink* Well, since this trip is quite rush 1 and the main purpose is to attend for training, so I've not really plan out where I want to visit during the weekend.
Wednesday early morning at 4am, I gotta wake up and go to LCCT. I've prepared myself 2 surgical mask to use in airport. However, when I reached airport, no 1 even bother about the potential spreading of H1N1, of coz non of them wore mask. Well, since it will make me look awkward among the crowd after all, so I too not even bother to put on the mask. Just make sure I do not touch my eye and nose through out the journey and I've got myself a small bottle of hand sanitizer. Met an ex-stewardess in the cabin and we chit chat throughout the journey. Have a nice chat with her anyway. Landed at about 8.40a.m. and training suppose to start at 9a.m. Me and my colleague Durai was in hurry to rush to the training center at Suntec. Reached the training center at 9.40a.m. Trainer and fellows participant from Singapore already waiting for us there. Started the class right away and guess wat? I've got gastric then!! How suffer... >.<" luckily I've brought my medicine along. After the training, we took a cab back to Hotel and check in. Hotel is pretty nice and cozy, the main problem is it is not really near to any MRT station.
First night, we took the hotel shuttle bus to Orchard Road. Thanks to Durai for bringing me to dinner and walk around there since he's quite familiar with Singapore and my last visit was way back 12 years ago... OMG~! Nothing special on 2nd day but went to Little India with Durai after training by taking Hotel's shuttle bus. Walk around and he brought me to a famous Nasi Briyani here in Little India. It really taste good but the portion is simply too big for me!!
And comes to last day of training. Great to know a few new colleague sfrom Singapore and other attendees from other company. And of coz the trainer from Germany. Had great session with them and I certainly learn a lot of new stuff. After the training session ended, Durai headed to airport right away while I extended my stay here in Singapore. Met up with Shaywen at Suntec, and here I go to "check-in" at her place.. haha.. First night with Shaywen, she brought me to walk around at Clark-Quey and thanks to her fren Samuel fetched me to the famous Marina Barrage. The night view there is awesome!! Too bad I don't have a tripod with me. :( Anyway, still got some photo without using a tripod here.
The Singapore Flyers..photo taken from Marina Barrage, great view from here ~!

Saturday, met up with TY at Raffles Place, and we walked around the city the whole afternoon under the hot sun. Got sun burn after all.. >.<" But I'm satisfy with the outing and got some great shot. Here you go:
Esplanade Theater
The Merlion
The oldest hotel in town..
Met up with loosin after that at Bugis, then we headed to Chinatown to get my souvenir for my fellow colleagues and went for a very nice Spicy Steamboat, and Shaywen & her housemate joined in too. Really tasty and I enjoyed a lot. Not forget to thanks for the treat from loosin too. :D Then we walked to Clark Quay & Boat Quay again then finally stopped at Eski Bar. Tried my first Kilkenny here and I really enjoy the chit-chatting and the chilling feel here...
Last day @ Singapore, we went to Vivo city and walked around. Then took the train from there to Sentosa Island @ SGD3. Its a very sunny HOT day until my eye hardly open. >.<" Not much photo taken but still enjoy the outing with TY & Shaywen there.

4pm, backed to Shaywen's place to packup things. Got up to a Cab at Ang Mo Kio to airport and ready to back home. Finally end my 5 days in Singapore.. Although it's just a short trip, but I really enjoyed it. Looking forward for next trip...
