MY TRAVEL STORY: Revisiting Singapore

[BUCKY]

RAFFLES HOTEL- this is Singapore's oldest hotel named after the country's founder, Sir Stamford Raffles. Presidents, queens, kings and Hollywood celebrities have stayed in this colonial style hotel since 1887. It is also the most expensive hotel in Singapore. A must-do at the Raffles is a visit to the legendary Long Bar where the famous cocktail Singapore Sling was first concocted more than 100 years ago.

- Micheal Jackson stayed there during his last performance in Singapore.
- One of the last remaining tigers was killed under the pool table in the Hotel's pub.

the famous Mustapha Department Store which sells cheap goods, and a money exchange dealer (in front of AB restaurant, at the corner of Lembu Rd. and Serangoon Rd.) which according to my Singaporean friend, gives very good exchange rates.

- Mustafah opens 24 hour.
- Famous among Thais.

I would had suggested that u take a coach and stop for a nite in Malacca to visit some historical places and continue ur journey to KL the next day. After all those low cost carrier are cheap only if u booked in advance and since they r cheap their services can be expected. Lastly, one advise to all ladies , it is best not to carry handbags while walking on the street cuz of snatch thieves. Enjoy ur stay .

After Malacca then to KL. There is a budget hotel opposite Puduraya, 7Eleven and KFC. Only walking distance to China Town. A few shopping centre around Puduraya. If you are heading Hatyai then buy the ticket at Konsortium Bus counter inside Puduraya. Ticket not more than 50 ringgit. Normally there are night buses to Hatyai between 9pm to 11.30pm. The last bus from S'pore transit at Puduraya around 11.30 to 12.00 midnight. Don't take Air Asia flight because the airport is nearly 90km from the city.

Lucky for me to had an Asian face. I don't had any problem either in Thailand or Singapore.

That's until you open your mouth and speak, by hearing your accent they know your not one of them.

At least my bodyguard is around.
