My very first time to go out of country!
Upon learning the promo fair from Cebu Pacific, without 2nd thought, I booked a trip to Singapore for me, mom and my sister. We really don't have to worry on the accommodation because our first cousin is a permanent resident in Singapore. Further tasks to be done...get a passport, save pocket money, shop for clothes and local delicacies for pasalubong abroad.
Departure Day
Because my sister and I were so excited (mom's flight to SG was 2 days ahead of us), we went to the airport (NAIA Terminal 3) 4 hours ahead of our flight time..hihihi! Though it's our first time for an international trip, we managed every airport process smoothly because I researched everything from the net (from paying the travel tax, checking in for the boarding pass, filling up the departure card needed to pass the immigration line and boarding our plane).
When our plane announced its arrival in Singapore, we really don't know what to do next. So we just follow the other passengers until we reached the lobby of Singapore Budget Terminal...people lined up to the Money Exchange Counter, so we lined up too. hahaha!
I collected tourist maps and information catalogues I found at the counter of the lobby while we were waiting for our cousin to fetch us up. And then we drop by Changi Airport to have some pics.

Singapore Tour
I researched a bit of Singapore and here's what I found. It is a Southeast-Asian city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. If you attempt to see the map, Singapore is a very small nation with a population reaching 5 million, but a highly urbanized one. My cousin told us that more land are currently being developed through land reclamation. They have a parliamentary system of government and discipline in every citizen is obviously evident based on my impression as a first time visitor.
Places we visited:
Marina Bay, Clarke Quay, Sentosa Island, Vivo City, Novena Church, Orchard Road and Little India
Imbiah Walk
The Giant Merlion..the weather is cloudy and so the light is a bit gloomy
At Siloso Beach..
Vivo City at night, we shopped for a few souvenirs
We made last minute shopping at Takashimaya along Orchard Road
Dropped by Little India and bought some stuff at Mustafa Center
While we were in Marina Bay, we saw this huge construction site across the river that is being established for the upcoming Universal Studios in Singapore.
So I told myself, three years from now, I will definitely go back to see what that place has to offer!
Happy Trip!
