Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 5 - Singapore

Do you know what awesome friends are? 

Awesome friends are the ones that visit you halfway around the earth and when you say hey, you wanna go to Singapore? They say YES let's do it! So this is the story of our trip to Singapore for 2 days, 1 night.

You wouldn't believe it, we missed our flight!!! That's right. Silly me had too many itineraries in my email and I looked at the wrong flight. We ended up having to buy more tickets but luckily it was not Canadian airline price! After all that was settled we camped at Starbucks waiting for our new flight.




We flew with Air Asia and you always need to take the bus to get to the plane here in T3 Soekarno Hatta airport.




An hour and a half later, we arrived at Changi Airport Singapore, dubbed one of the best airports in the world.

 
In the monorail
 We had planned to take the hotel shuttle bus from the airport but we were told it was delayed, so we decided to take the MRT instead. The Capri Hotel we were staying at was only 1 stop away from the airport. As soon as you arrive in Singapore you can feel the difference in the atmosphere.


Inside the MRT
 MM saw this golden tree at the mall by the hotel and she wanted a picture :)


After we checked in, we walked over about 5 minutes away for Song Fa Bakuteh. Only MM and I ate there while the boys had sandwiches at a cafe next door.


Not wanting to lose any more time, as soon as we finished lunch we headed out to Gardens by The Bay. A must see if you are in Singapore and haven't been there.











After this picture here they named me Oko Yono...










Then we took the path to the Marina Bay Sands Mall...







After we walked around we proceeded to Clarke Quay for dinner...


And that was the end of our first day in Singapore... On the following day we did not have much time before we had to fly back to Jakarta and the only pictures I have are from the Butterfly Garden at the airport...




From here, we boarded the plane and went back to Jakarta...
Stay tuned for Part 6!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
