My friends and I always make it a point that every year, during the summer, we go out of the city and explore a place somewhere in the Philippines. If our budget allows it, we’ll go outside the country. I think we can consider it a tradition since this is the third time to be a part of this. For the previous year, we went to Leyte and Bohol.
So.. Singapore. Where do I even begin with you? You were my final destination in my series of random overseas getaways last year. I had to make ends meet, get in touch with some people, just to make this trip push through. I almost backed out, too, if you knew the whole story. But I’m glad I didn’t.
Coming to Singapore on a solo 5-day trip wasn’t my original plan. I had it planned with a friend, but it didn’t push through. I had already backed out of a trip, I wasn’t about to waste more money. Besides, I’m always game for outside of the country trips. Somehow I trust other countries more than my own when it comes to safety.
Even though I had a couple of lucky instances to go back and forth Hong Kong last year, I still feel that I did not do everything that I wanted to do. The last time I visited was the longest that I have stayed there. Still, I didn’t manage my time properly and ended up doing a lot of things last minute and still missed out on a lot of fun activities. Really stupid of me to waste that opportunity.
Anyway, just so I won’t forget, and I definitely won’t this time because this post will serve as the obvious in-your-face reminder whenever I see it. Thought I’d make a list here instead of in a journal that I’ll probably stash somewhere and forget about in the next coming months.
In a nutshell, we wanna do more touristy activities (excluding shopping) and minimize spending money unless it’s for food and fees to said touristy places. I made a short list below…
