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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
