Backpack Trip 1 @Singapore, Merlion city (March 2011)


 River cruise near Fullerton hotel at the back and Cavenagh bridge. Nice place to enjoy the windy afternoon with feeding  some pigeons.

 Kids love swimming statue...well, me too. How about you? ;)
 The park is clean and nice to stay and take rest after a long walk. Those sign boards are information boards about tourist spots around the city.
 Esplanade, theater building @esplanade drive. The architecture is like a durian fruit style.
 High court building...old and historical one.
The Old Parliement building. I wonder, why is an elephant used as the icon of this building? (To be continued to the next post...just wait)  ;)

Malaysia - Genting Highland Hotels & Park March2011)


 I and my friends just arrived at Genting, now we want to ahead towards the mountain Genting peak crossing the jungle by the skyway transportation. Lets buy the tickets before crossing!
 So typical Asian tropical forest. Nice crossing..so peaceful up there.
 Finally we could find the way out! After having breakfast at McD and going thru the hotels around the hill, we could breath the fresh cold air.
 The famous Genting is for its casinos. Visitors can just have a browsing inside it by paying 10 RM (if its not mistaken). Monte Carlo is one of them.
 Indoor and outdoor parks in Genting. It looks like the play ground in BSM mall in Bandung, but it's the bigger one. Anyway, compared to Dufan, Jakarta, it's less attractive for me...hehehhe... Dufan is still my choice for playground and amusement.
 I believe your kids or nephews and nieces would love this place anyway. Don't worry!
 Colorful "First World Hotel". I like its colors and sometimes it'scovered with the cloud.



It was getting cold the day. It's like a castle in a fantasy world.

Wana buy the ticket? Stand in line, ladies. Well, coz we just wanted to ride the monorail train, we got to get in instead.
 You can eat at Marry Brown fastfood resto. Hmm...I think I need Padang food resto...hehehhe.
 There are 'jam gadang' or big bang clock ala England. You also can see the Liberty statue of US. It looks like a mini town...so full of having-fun people.


Let's ride the train!!! YYaayyyhhhhooo.... :)

 Look down there, there was a melody competition. Tebak lagu! Hayyoo..wana join & win?
Back to hotel, c'mon!!! Get ready to get back to Parijs van Java. Well it's the end of my weekn jump holiday. So, when are you joining me for the next trip? Just be ready! So long :)
