We left Manila for
Singapore 5am Saturday.Since we took Cebu Pacific, the terminal is the new one in Andrews Avenue. I was so excited to see it.To my disappointment,the lobby is small and plain and dark. Maybe they are saving on electricity.......or is it part of the facade, to emphasize the beams? Whatever it is, it was way below my expectations. It's close to a deserted building and it lacks drama.....
But it was clear day. As we heed south, a storm is a approaching Northern Luzon. Calm before the storm they say.

We were in Changi Airport after 3.5 hours. We docked in the budget terminal. I was shocked. I forgot that we were on a budget airline. But the airport is still better compared to Manila. I took several photos but the authorities are quick tell me taking pictures in certain areas is prohibited so I had to erase them. I managed to get a few on our way back.Pasaway.
I noticed many Indians working the airport.Their english is strange but I guess they are doing a fine job. Everything is organized. We took the bus (free) to the new Terminal (3) where our friends car is parked. Kala nila naka Singapore Airlines kami.kkk. . The airport complex is huge.
We went through mazes and corridors.........
Then came the big one>>>>>>Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3.
....from left---TERESA, Cristy and Alma---our friend our very kind host in Singapore.
The airport is a microcosm of Singapore itself, modernity blended in nature.
Teresa, who has been to Hongkong last year said that Changi is better than Chek Lap Kok Airport......
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Singapore. It's the start of a 3-day adventure of Antonio, the 27 year old travel-outside-the-Philippines virgin. Welcome aboard!!!

ReplyDelete---
thanks for commenting :) well, hindi pa ako nakakakita ng multo, and i don't even dream of seeing one. even the possibility that such entities exist scares me... whether they're beutiful or not. so have you seen one?
Whew, welcome back to Manila XD
ReplyDeleteThanks fer the complimenst btw, actually if yer with us, lots and lots of gossips are at stake on a daily basis, this is somethign tht i'll surely by the end of this year.
My stay in Summit is due in 12-2007 :( sad. But I'm hoping tht wouldn't be my last spree at SB.
The airport sure look beautiful. A bit surprised some areas are off limit for camera. Security reason? Pity I didn't have the chance to use the airport. I visited Singapore by crossing the causeway from Johor Bahru.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I don't own a ship, just that I work in a shipping company :)
oh~ so how was the trip? hope to read it soon~ :P
ReplyDeleteCool!!
ReplyDeletehave an enjoyable trip! ;)

ReplyDeleteAlex---kasi, anu ginagawa ng mga money(s) mo. Pakinabanagan na yan!!!kkk
RON---funny we talked about flor. I said sarah balabagan pero Flor ngapala. I was wrong. Nawala na sa isip ko. If you go to Singapore, you will see how everything is in order. And you will understand why...
dazedblu--Ley, thanks. Nways, gossip is your life there. And gossip could be good. Wag lang yung basta basta tsismis ha, yung nakakasira na buhay iba.
ReplyDeletefalcon---Johor Bahru.? I think it sounds familiar. We excited Singapore the first day to eat in a seaside restaurant in Malaysia. Is the way through TUAS Checkpoint?
ReplyDeletefrog---I will, thanks.

ReplyDeleteIslander---correct. pyesta mata mo. espeacially fi you go on foot. i thought ganun lang. But there are alot of interesting places. Bitin talaga 3 days namin....
Chyng---at talagang balk. Kelan Chyng? balak din us HK Macau next year pag nakaluwag sa responsibilities....
vanny---easy pala for you to go there, visit lang. You don't have to force yourself to work there. But be careful, when you get there, you mi8ght be seduced by the city and have second thoughts of staying.
ReplyDeletespoolartist. ---Talaga kuya Loven. Talagang wala sila magawa sa pera nila no? With us, we don't have much to start with. The travel made me realize a lot of things
Josh---bitin talaga pag 1 day lang. Samin nga 3 days bitin pa...
