Singapore. Singapura.
It was a little claustrophobic at first. (Like Joshua said, they build up because they have no space.) Then it got better when I realized there were no creepy Malay guys staring at me. Wahoo!
For the entire duration of the trip I had an overwhelming feeling of safety. If you're a guy you wouldn't understand. Malaysia is a very scary place for girls. Not attracting any attention has become a skillful art in my possession.
I had quite a few “I told you so” moments in which my dad got really pissed and basically ruined our moods for hours. Anyway, it’s normal; happens every single time the Kong family ventures out of their home, when they are prone to losing wallets, phones, and messing up. (Daniel lost his phone + I think this trip has been the most disastrous ever in terms of misplaced items/almost misplaced items.)
Well, at least I can honestly sing along to the YMCA song, now that I’ve stayed in one of their numerous establishments stationed across the globe. Though I never want to stay in the one I went to again because firstly, the cleaning ladies there put your stuff back in places they don’t belong and make you think you lost your things (not once, not twice, but numerous freaking times!), and secondly, they walk in on you when you’re changing with the excuse of “Oh, sorry! I thought you already checked out. I’m just looking for something I lost.” It’s like, stop explaining yourself already! I’m half naked, GET OUT!
I did the most walking I’ve ever done in my life down in SG. Josh and I visited almost all the malls. I’m talking close to thirty malls (no exaggeration) and we never even took a taxi once. We took the MRT a few times but the rest was just plain feet-blistering, calve-aching, old-fashioned walking. I have around six blisters right now. One’s infected and I might die but who cares, the shopping was fun! I bought lots of things for myself. Nothing for you, sorry.
Last but most definitely not least, watch GLEE. Fox’s new comedy musical TV series just dropped its pilot episode and it is nothing short of awesome. Way better than any HSM crap that was made and ever will be made. 'Nuff said.

Awesome Glee!
Sigh. I love my country. hehe. Singapore's transportation system rocks not like Malaysia where you have to wait almost an hour for some stupid bus.
