Day -1 and Day 1 (May 14th , and May 15th)
Surabaya - Jogjakarta, picked by Rosalia Indah travel service at 10 pm, then alight at RI office at Bungurasih, pay cash fee, then on 11 pm, we started our way to Jogja. I have my big top class, comfortable enough, but I can't sleep well. Because, I think much more comfortable by train still. Dinner at Padang restaurant at Caruban about 1.30 am, and I alighted from travel car at Adi Sujtipto airport at 4.45 am.
I had my Shubuh time at 5 am, then I just walk around the airport area. Well, just realized that Adi Sutjipto airport is a small airport. Perhaps because I'm in common to see Juanda International Airport, which is the 2nd biggest airport after Soekarno Hatta CKG jakarta.
6am I checked in at Air Asia counter, wait about 30 minutes at passenger waiting room, and 7.10 am we're boarded. 7.35 am taken off, and we had our time of flying with AA QZ7138 about 2 hours.
10:15 am we're landed at Singapore Changi Airport.
All my documents were checked at immigration & health hall. 10.45, passed from immigration checked. Then, after took some brochures and guide map about Singapore, I just try to find where is the direction to go to Changi MRT Station. When suddenly through my confusion, the immigration officer who checked my documents call me. She said that I've got to come with her. Some trouble on my passport. OMG, I've just can't keep my self from wondering. What happened??? But I just try to look easy and stay cool. Well, after all, the problem is that the machine couldn't indicates my passport number. Why? Well, because my passport number is just the same with somebody else's number. But it is diplomatic passport from another country. Well, I was detained at immigration check about 30 minutes. Then they just let me go. I told them that I got no problem for entering Japan last year. And then they just said that it was perhaps their system lack. Well, at least the Japan Visa helps me hahahh....To think logically, Japan's immigration check is much more strict than Singapore. So, why should retained me hehehehh.....
I had lunch at Burger King, while waiting for 12pm to buy Tourist Pass at MRT station. 12:15 pm, I got into the train. At first, I've decided to alight at Farrer Park station. Because I think that it's just the same time to walk from Farrer Park - The Hive with Boon Keng - The Hive. But what's happened then???I got the wrong direction of walking. In fact, my direction is to Little India Station. And so, then I decided to take the train from Little India to Boon Keng. Finally, on 1:45 pm, I arrived at The Hive Backpackers' Hostel. Check in and finish my shower time at 2:30 pm, and start my journey on 3 pm. I visited Orchard Road from Dhoby Ghaut station, then to Fort Canning Park, walk to City hall Station, and coincidentally pass through Singapore Parliament building, and go to Raffles station. I just use my instinc, and of course by asking everyone that I've met, no matter who he/ she is. Alighted at Raffless station, get out from the building, I just sat down right beside the Singapore River. I just realized, that the building next to me is 6th Battery Road, which means it is CLAIR's office address. Wow....
It's about 30 minutes I get walking surround the Singapore River. Enjoying the sky scrappers building, asian civilization museum, and also Cavenagh bridge, I took my way to Merlion Park. And it's raining. I take a shelter under the bridge right beside the Merlion Park, waiting for Yajima at 6 pm.
It was 5.45 pm, he came with his umbrella because it's still raining. Ehhmmm....isn't it romantic.
We're hold and hug....it so nice to be with him. Had a conversation at Starbuck's Coffee of the Park, and on 6.30, we start our time from Merlion Park, Clarke Quay, Esplanade Bay, Riverside, and get our direction to Chinatown. We're talking m,any things while our time together. I know him much better than before.
9 pm, we had our dinner at Chuan Garden Restaurant at Chinatown area. Finish our dinner at about 10.15 pm, we took our train from Chinatown station to Boon Keng station. He took me over my hostel, and just hugs to say mata ashita and oyasumi nasai...
Take a rest time for a while, I continued my time to Mustafa Center. A 24 hours market. I bought some souvenirs for me and my friends. Pretty cheap shopping center. 12.30 am I went back to my room and get bath. On my bed time before I fall asleep, there are 4 womens (about 35-40 y.o.) coming. They're all from Philippines, but they just gonna stay for 1 night because they have to go to Malaysia on Saturday. 1 am, I just fall asleep.
Day 2, May 16th
Today, Yajima San gotta work overtime because of the dateline. And he's gonna free after his rugby time at 6pm. So, from this morning on till afternoon, I just have my own sightseeing time. We made our appointment at Harbour Front Station at 7 pm.
Well, so I woke up at 6 am (5 am Surabaya time), prepare my self and get dressed on 8 am. After breakfast time, I started my trip for today. The first destination is Haw Par Villa at Pasir Panjang Rd. It's about 1.5 hours long to explore Haw Par Villa and also Hua Song museum inside. 11 am, I continued my trip to Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden area. Ehhmm....nice place to relax. There are lakes separated the Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden. Very nice place. 1 pm, I took my train to Orchard Rd again. Wow wow wow.... what a shopping center it is. Full of plaza and stores. Well, it's a coincident actually, while my walking time in front of Lucky Plaza and Takashimaya Dept.Sore, I heard some noisy sounds. Some peoples with their action on the road. Dancing and wearing unique clothing. I follow them, of course many others people also following them. It was one of the Singapore Arts Festival events, it was "Art on The Move" performed by The Glittering Bestiary, la Compaigne Malabar of France. Isn't it a nice trip that I had??
4 pm, I had my appointment to meet my friend's daughter (Mbak Sandra). Her name is Chiquita, nice girl. I should give her some goods from her Mom. Well, she just came late at 4.30 pm. So, soon after I gave her the articles, I just said that I gotta go. Because I already made my appointment with Yajima San at Harbour Front station at 7 pm. We're going to go to Sentosa Island and see Songs of the Sea show.
I take my time back to the hotel first, get shower and dressed. 7.10 pm I met Yajima at Harbour Front station. We're gonna see the 2nd performance of SOS show at 8.40 pm. Before the show, we had our dinner at the Beach Cafe, Siloso Beach of Sentosa. A candle light dinner hehehehhh....
He's just so handsome, oh gosh..... I can't stop my self from adoring him. 8.40 pm, Songs of the Sea show time. A very nice show, very amazing show with the high technology being used. Combining water and laser technology. Very cool...
10 pm, we take our train from Harbour Front station. It's 10.30 pm when we arrived at my hotel. It's time to say oyasumi nasai again to him. And just hugs and hold him fro a while. Oh gosh, how nice to hold this guy.... I'm gonna miss u so Yajima San....
1.30 am on May 17th, I was getting into my bed after preparing all of my luggage. I will never forget this journey to Singapore. With him, Yajima San. I just wish that I had the longer time with him.
Day 3, May 17th 2009
Sunday, 7 am, I checked out of The Hive and took my steps to Boon Keng station to reach Changi. When I was at Tanah Merah interchange station, I just saw a guy with his smiling face. He looked at me, and just try to smile at me. He's a Chinese guy. But we didn't talk at all, or even just say hi. He saw me,and I saw him too. But, so bad, he alighted at Expo station. When he steps out from the train, he's just looked back at me for several times and smiling. Hey, who's that guy????? He looks nice, as his smiling face. Ehhmmm.....
08:15 am I arrived at Changi, took the skytrain to Terminal 1, checked in, then got a sightseeing till 10.30 till there's the announcement from Air Asia that it is the boarding time. 10.45 am we taken off, and landed at Adi Sutjipto airport at 11.30 am. Then I took the bus to Malioboro with Trans Jogja to get into Tugu station. But, what happened then just shocked me. The train tickets both Argo Wilis and Sancaka are sold out. What's next? Well, I took Argo Wilis, but as the "silent" passenger. But it's not just me, there are also several persons just like me. We sat at restoration train, have meals, drinks, and some are smoking. 7 pm at Kertosono station, and lucky me, somebody look for a seat for me. I paid him 25.000. Well, not bad. I spent 57.000 rupiahs for this train hehehh.....
But, lesson for us, don't ever be a "silent" one, just suffers ourself.
Finally, 8 pm, I arrived at Gubeng station. Pretty tired, but I gotta work for tomorrow.
Singapore, Yajima San, the mysterious guy (who is he...???)....
What a journey that I had....
