My Wildheart

Started the day early, woke up at 6:00am and took the train to Vivo City around 8:00am.
I’ve been looking forward for this day , it's been a long time since my last visit to Sentosa and Universal Studio Singapore, I’ve heard that there are lots of changes.

Near our hotel is the Bugis mall, below is where the station is located.
From Bugis station (Green line )  we need to change trains at Outram park (Violet line) and finally off to Harbour Front. 



Harbour Front station  (exit E )is in the Vivo City, go to the top floor and take a train to Sentosa.

Vivo City is a big shopping mall in Singapore, you can find lots of American, European, and Asian brands there. There was floor there where you can find lots of popular Korean skincare products .

You can also see the Marina Bay Sands, designed by the most renowned architect Moshe Safdie.
It is a luxury hotel which has casino, one the impressive pool I have seen and sky park.
From there you could have the best view of  Singapore.

Tekka Wet Market in Little India, Singapore
Business time is around 10am until 5-6pm

I noticed that the place is quite small compared to Mustafa
What I like about this place is 1^st the clothes is really cheap. You can buy some Indian clothes
 at S$ 15 and the designs are superb !
There are different types of Indian clothes :
1. Sari-  this garment has 4-9 meters in lengths and widely used in India.
2. Salwar Kameez mostly worn in Northern part of India, it is called Punjabi in Southern part of India
If you are familiar with bollywood movies, this is used a lot by actresses.
A Salwar Kameez is mostly partnered with dupatta (scarf to cover the head or shoulder).
3.Lehenga Choli -one of the most exensive clothing i have seen in my life.
Lots of beautiful designs to choose from, it is  mostly worn during festivals and marriage ceremonies.
4.Kurti- Casual wear, it is partnered with churidar (narrow pants),legging or jeans.

They have different sizes that are available in Tekka.



I was looking for some tikka (it's like a bracelet and the ring is attached)  and mom bought some clothes here. Since I can’t find it, I just roamed around here.
The bangles and clothes here are really affordable and what nice about this place is that you can bargain.

You can take pictures outside and inside as long as you respect the worshipers inside and be quiet.
But I suggest not to take pictures inside since it will bother the people there, instead appreciate the designs inside. It is really spectacular !
Also take off you shoes outside and observe dress code.

Next:  Mustafa (Little India )
Mustafa is a big mall located at Serangoon.
You can find most Indian fashion and Souvenirs here.




+
The clothes are quite expensive compare to other shops but the designs are superb.
Lots of varieties to choose from.  They have small sizes but kinda rare.
It is quite unique since you can't find similar clothes there with same design or color.

What I like about in Mustafa is the Chocolates section, the prices are really CHEAP and there are lots of expensive brands there. So yeah if you have a chocolate addiction  like me then this is our place <3

Next is if you want to buy some Indian foods/or something from groceries then you can purchase it here.  They have a big supermarket under, I bought some papad, spices, Indian style snacks and some microwavable foods to bring  back at home just in case I will be craving for it.

For a foreigner, a souvenir is a must.
They have a wide range of souvenir items there like; photo cards, key chains, merlions, shirts, etc.

Hungry ? In front of Mustafa there is a Indian Restaurant that is serves delicious foods.
Every time I visit Mustafa I always dine here. Plus the place is clean and has AC.

Chicken Biryani is superb ^^

The prices are  affordable compare to other restaurants. If you like to try Indian delicacies then I really recommend this place :)

-end

Pros:
1. Very NEAR to any sightseeing place

2. Next to the hotel is 7/11, and just next street another 7/11 beside it was a  money changer

3.There are lots of restaurants and shopping mall nearby.
4. Have you heard of Bugis Junction ? It is a big shopping mall there.

Below in it is the Bugis station that is connected from the Airport and to other sightseeing. Very Convenient Indeed

5. In front of the hotel  is the bus & taxi stop

6. Wifi is fast and no minimum of how many gadgets you want to connect

7. Friendly staffs

Cons:
No breakfast
the toiletries are so-so

The bathroom is slippery

The room is small, so if possible don’t bring lots of big luggage 

It is really small compare to other hotels but the location is perfect. 

My purpose for the trip is sightseeing therefore location is important for me.
On my next trip here in Singapore, I will be staying here again. :)

Overall: 8/10 I am really satisfied here 

Inside:

Review : 

Vip hotel at Orchard is quite expensive and the location is not convenient.
Though if you are there just to relax or want a quiet place then this is for you.
This more like a condominium rather than a hotel, the room is really big.
Quite a luxury.

Pros:
The room is really BIG.
Has swimming pool

The staffs are nice.
( we had a problem with the booking there, the staffs and even the manager
help us solve it, I'm really impressed. )

Available breakfast

Cons:
they have wifi, but only for 1 gadget, for the 2^nd gadget you will be charged

The location is not good, this place is VERY FAR from everything (sightseeing, restaurants,stations,etc)

Front desk machines  not good ( got a bad experience)

My first trip to abroad this year, a place I really want to go back for a long time. But this was also the first trip that was really unplanned since I’ve been busy

Singapore is one of the best countries for me to travel ever since I got hooked up with travelling.

Actually this is my 4^th trip to Singapore already and it never fails to amaze me. Why?  Very diverse.  You will meet a lot of foreigners there and some have already decided to live in Singapore. Most of them are Indians, Malaysians, Chinese, Americans and met few Filipinos there, Why? Singapore is one of the safest countries I’ve been to; the people there are really disciplined and they obey the strict rules. For real!. Transportation? Well I will admitted that I always travel with a travel group or take a taxi but for this tour I decided to take the trains, and YES it is really EASY and CHEAP.

The foods? Some travelers would think that the food would cost expensive, yes if you will dine in a expensive restaurants but if you prefer to taste different varieties of cuisine there I suggest roam around. Trust me there are lots of dishes there to try like Chinese food, Indian foods, Japanese foods, Malaysian foods, Thai foods and of course Singaporean foods.  Based from my experience budget would be around S$ 5-10 for a meal and S$1-3 for some snacks. But I would admitted that I splurge a lot when it comes to foods since why not, I am in a Singapore and I love the foods there.
