Teropong Singapore

Day 1

Hari ini adalah hari yang sudah dinantikan oleh kami, untuk bisa menikmati suasana menjelang natal di Singapura. Sebelum pergi kami sudah mereservasi hostel dan juga tiket Song of the Sea. Sayangnya, suamiku tercinta yang sudah meng-arrange acara jalan-jalan ini harus membatalkan rencana untuk berlibur karena ada presentasi dengan CEO se-Indonesia yang tidak mungkin ia tinggalkan. Sedih rasanya, karena acara ini sudah kami rencanakan sejak lama. Well, kata Femi....itulah nasib pekerja, tapi ambil aja sisi positif dari semua ini, semoga presentasi pres.Didi lancar, O:)˚°º΅ آمِيّنْ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِيْ ΅º°˚O:) ..........

( Semangaaattt !!! )

Jam 3 sore, kami sudah berangkat menuju ke bandara. Bus DAMRI yang aku naiki cukup penuh dengan penumpang (aki-aki n nini-nini khususnya), ditambah lagi jalanan sepanjang menuju bandara sangat padat.....Huuffh !! Di tengah-tengah perjalanan, tiba-tiba aku mendengar lagu sunda kesukaan papa yang populer di era 90-an...." Lain ti baheula atuh kang....urang rek patepang. Kieu hate abdi atuh kang...." Eeaaa ini perjalanan mau ke Singapura atau mau pulang kampung ke Sukabumi ya....(˘ . ˘٥) .


Sampai di bandara, sinyal XL sangat lemot sekali dan aku sempat panik karena semua BBM pending, untungnya tidak lama aku bertemu dengan Mia setelah mendapat bantuan SOS message dr Rusmin ( thank you my dearest hubby....u save me !! hufffh ).


Setelah semua personil lengkap, kami segera check-in...makan dan bersiap untuk terbang. Tepat jam 20.05 WIB pesawat kamipun berangkat.... بِسْــــــــــــــــــــــمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم..... Bye Jakarta.


Sesampainya di bandara, kami bermaksud mengabadikan gambar di depan body pesawat Tiger Airways, sayangnya hanya 1 take foto yang kami dapat..karena petugas disana sudah meminta kami untuk bergegas, karena dikhawatirkan akan banyak penumpang lain yang ikut-ikut berfoto ( in fact : hehehe kami berusaha mencari pembenaran, padahal sebetulnya foto di area tersebut dilarang dan kita sudah tau hal itu, tapi tetep iseng biar ada foto saat landing - wkwwk pelanggaran pertama yang kami buat, yg penting photonya dapet ya nyaah..... yuuukz ).


Saya cukup terkesima dengan bandara di Singapura, karena ada SALE WINE until 60% - 70%...( woaaaaa, that's the cheaper price that i ever seen ) hehehe serius !! Absolute vodka hanya S$ 15 , Jack D S$22, beylies S$19 n masih banyak lagi yang harganya dibawah ekspektasi aku dan satu yang membuat aku cukup terpana, bandara ini bersiiiiihnya MasyaAllah....!!!. Karena kami tidak ingin repot membawa banyak barang ke hostel nanti, jadi kami berencana akan membeli wine2 itu nanti saat akan pulang ke Jakarta, lumayan untuk celebrate new year eve nanti....-(ˆ▽ˆ)/ -(ˆ▽ˆ)- \(ˆ▽ˆ)-


Dari bandara, ternyata kami sudah tidak bisa naik MRT karena sudah lewat jam operasionalnya. Akhirnya kita naik shutle bus ke Terminal 2. Woaaaaa ini terminal apa Mall? Keren banged bangunan-nya, serasa di lokasi Running Man. Dari sana kita naik bus lagi ke Orchard hanya dng S$2/person. Aiiiih busnya lucu and colourfull pisan... di dalam bus-nya pun ada tangga-nya ( noraaak deh aku ). Gak pake ba bi bu lagi kami langsung duduk cantik dan foto-foto. Ga peduli orang belakang mau bilang kita norak, yg penting foto. 



Ditengah-tengah foto kami yg sudah narsis itu, tiba-tiba pak supirnya berkata "NO MORE LIGHTs Ya !!"......ziiinggg tiba-tiba kami terdiam sesaat, mencoba untuk meyaklnkan diri kami apakah pernyataan itu ditujukan untuk kami atau bukan, dan sesaat tatapan pak supir itupun terlihat di kaca spion, ooowww that's for us !!! qeqeqeqeqe, really awkward !!! Sialnya teguran itu diberikan saat kamera sudah saya pindah tangan-kan ke Rake, wkwkwkw udah 2x aja kena tegur gara-gara foto ( sabaar Ke, sabaaarr ). 


Lalu kitapun duduk karena malu. Entah kenapa, Dewi tiba-tiba pindah tempat duduk dan dari wajahnya tampak feeling guilty gitu, aku heran dan penasaran....ada apa ?!! Akupun bertanya pada Dewi :
 
"Kenapa lu Wi" kata kita heran.
"Gak, coba kalian liat deh tulisan di belakang kalian" kata Dewi.


Doennng.... Ternyata kursi ini hanya untuk MANULA, aduuuh duh duuh ini yang udah bolak-balik keliling dunia kenapa pada ga ngasih tau sih kalo ada hal-hal yang ga boleh dilarang begini siiihhhh. At least sekarang aku tau kenapa orang Indonesia bilang Singapura adalah Kota rempong - kota yang syarat akan peraturan dan menjunjung tinggi hukum, karena semua-muanya kayaknya udah ada aturannya. Dari area foto, makan, rokok, air, nyebrang, dan sebagainya. Yaah sudahlah, berhubung ini udah tengah malem juga-pasti jarang kan penumpang manula, anggep aja ada nenek Anjar, nenek Mia, dkk (wkwwkk berdalih dari malu). Turun dari bus, kamipun lanjut dengan taxi se-ukuran mini bus Avanza, dan kami dekenakan charge midnight S$ 1.6 dan S $2/ person. Tidak sampai 3menit kami-pun sudah sampai di depan hostel, WHOATTTT ???!!! Ternyata dekeet bangeeddd. OMG, how stupid are we !!

Sampai di Rucksack hostel, kami harus berjuang menaiki anak tangga dengan menenteng koper. Hanya Dewi yang backpacker sejati..." Boo, ini kan kita mau pada backpacker tp bawaan kalian koper " ** tepok jidat !!! Kita yang pada bawa koper cuma bisa senyum-senyum, hehehe maklum anak-anak Gambir selalu pengen foto, jadi bawaan kostum, kamera n koper tambahan buat oleh-oleh udah jadi peranti wajib yang kudu di bawa.


Rucksack, ternyata hostelnya sangat nyaman n bersih, tapi cukup kaget juga buat saya yang tidak pernah tau hostel....karena 1 kamar ada 15 ranjang tingkat, berarti ada 30 orang dengan 2 kamar mandi dan 2 wc. 



Ini dia sedikit gambaran mengenai Rucksacj Inn di Singapore :


Rucksack Inn Singapore ( Kaya Ruko dekil ya )


dalemnya super bersih abizz !! 4 THUMB's UP !!

living room and small library


wastafel and big mirror
the facilities

doom room
Sangat amat nyaman di sini, tapi karena hanya ada 4 kamar mandi, jadi besok harus bangun pagi biar ga antree. Woaaa jadi besok pagi kudu bangun cepet, biar ga antri pemirsah.

Yupppz....setelah 2 jam bobo n mandii jam 04:00 waktu Singapura, akhirnya kita berencana untuk bobo lagi...xixixi yg penting semua udah pada mandi, udah  dandan n sarapan, tinggal ntar jam 7-an ganti baju d. Lampu di kamar masih padam, orang-orang bule itu msh pada tidur lelap, ada satu negro main laptop tapi cuma pake celana dalem aja, bukan boxer...bener2 celdam ( MasyaAllah Pak ). Dewi yang ranjang tidur-nya depan-depannan sama tuh bule cuma cekakak-cekikik. *amppuuuuunnn !!!


Hmmm....

Masih ada wkt 1 jam, saya lanjut tidur dulu ya teman-teman. Sampai jumpa besok di cerita selanjutnya...
