In the middle of my usual afternoon nap, I receive a call from an unknown number, when i pick it up, it is the contact person from contact@Singapore speaking to me. It is my first tele-interview. After a few intro question and inquiries, the phone call has ended. On the following friday, i recieve a email said that i have short listed for this program. Wow it will be an awesome trip.What more awesome is it is free! I dun not need to pay for the accommodation and food there! After doing some internet search bout the location of accommodation and company visit detail, i have accepted the offer and book my coach ticket online. Here start the journey to Singapore.
I depart from Corus Hotel at 10am. A surprise is that i found out one of my coursemate are taking the same coach with me, which bring me a great company. After a 5 hour journey, i am finally at Singapore. My first thought when i touch singapore ground is that, OMG the weather is darnnn hot! I quickly find some shades and start looking for taxi and get to StudioM hotel.
After some rest, we then go to Vivo city for a late lunch. The carl's jr burger thr is much much different from what i have in KL! because thr got BACON!! the real bacon!! not the fake fake chicken bacon or beef bacon in KL! U really need to drop ur jaw to enjoy such big and tasty burger! YUM~~
Then we take a railway ride to Sentosa to the casino! Is fun walking ard in the casino seeing all the expression on the customer face, but some are just desperate. For me who cant affort for such high risk investment, i enjoy by learning at the side of game table. In overall the interior design is good and what's better is i cant smell of any cigarette smell.
My trip end with a long long queue at the taxi stand in Vivocity. ARghh so many ppl are out to shopping at sunday nite....
Day 1, Monday, 12/7/10
After having breakfast, we gather and visit headquater of Contact@Singapore. I am impress by the number of participants and the diversity of the group. There ppl from Taiwan, China, Korea, Philippine and Malaysia. But mostly is Mandrain speaking student so more or less we look like a trip from China. From the Raffle city office block which where contact@Singapore located, we have a great view around central area of Singapore.
A nice view with Singapore flyer ( the big ferris wheel) and the Marina Bay Sands
After the lunch, we have visit to Avago Technologies and a tour at Marina Barrage reservoir which is a flood control system for Singapore water facilities.
After the visit at the same nite, we walk around the hotel and get to enjoy some night scenery at clarke quay. Just a short walk away we are at the famous Merlion. I dare to say that place has the best night view in Singapore!
