It's about Singapore again... 17 - 21 June 2015

I have the opportunity travelling to Singapore again mid-June because of a conference and I was actually looking towards it.

And I'm back, few days ago. It took me some time to write this because I was sick and things were going on. I don't seemed to have enough rest, but I'm writing this. This was my first conference and I was actually surprised that wines were served at the end of each day. It was fun meeting people from different countries and listening to their experiences in counseling. I enjoyed the chatting sessions!


This post was kinda delayed and delayed because of my health issues. Now that I feel better and healthier, I want to complete this happy post as soon as possible. =) Owh, I have been neglecting this for so long~~~

Well, other than the conference, I actually have the opportunity to stay in Marina Bay Sands Singapore this time round, which is also a prestigious hotel. It was famous for it's infinity pool and also a sky park. When I went to Singapore with Jeng Mun in January, we were standing opposite this hotel admiring the magnificent building and discussed how we wished to stay there the next time we visit Singapore. Well this time round, it was a wish came true and I stayed in there and I actually asked my friend to join me since good things are meant to be shared and happiness are meant to be shared! My cousins will be there too!

The stated check-in time is 3 pm but I reached around 2 pm and they allowed me to check-in. So it was good, but they don't have a room which is on the same level as my cousin. I was reluctant to take the room at first, but anyway, because I'm too tired, I took the room. It was on tower 3, level 33. My cousin's room is on level 39. Hmm, level 33 is not a good level because I have to transfer to another escalator to go to level 57 for the infinity pool and sky park. But compared to those with a lower level, maybe level 33 is not too bad at all. The air conditioning in the room was great because it was too cold that I have to open the balcony door to lower the temperature of the room and it actually has a smart design that when you actually open the balcony door, the air condition will be stopped. 
My room was facing the Garden's by the Bay. It was a good view because it's not noisy during the night. Here are some of the pictures I took using a selfie stick for the FIRST time!



My skill was not that good. But I guess you can still see the garden? ;p


The infinity pool!!!
It was actually quite gloomy that afternoon and it was COLD up there!


My friend, Lai Ying. 
The morning before we check out. =)


The weather was much better and I can feel the heat merely by looking at this picture!


The very first night there!


My cousin and I.


We were resting in my cousin's room while waiting for her brother...


Lai Ying didn't want to get into the pool originally but ended up with me in the pool... lol


The night scenery was really great! We can even see the merlion up there!
But it was really COLD~~~





Then, on Saturday morning, my cousin brought me to a cafe named Common Man Coffee  Roasters.
However, this cafe was not as common as it's named.
The food there was really nice and my cousin said that they provide the best coffee around there.
This place is so famous that queuing is common there and there were people come and go.
It was really busy and I think the owner there doesn't have to worry about having no business/customers.



 My hot chocolate. =)



Our Turkish breakfast. 
The portion was really big and I was feeling so full after finishing everything. 
Someone told me that this is expensive and doesn't worth it but I think the prices are around the same as KL's cafe and if you don't convert, it wasn't really expensive, I think. 

Another highlight of my trip to Singapore is this, 

LLAO LLAO!


I'm sure you have heard me saying this because llao llao is only available in Singapore and the "raffaello" sauce is so nice!!!


My cousins are llao llao's big fan too~~~
I have had llao llao 3 times when I was there this time!


The journey comes to an end on that Sunday where CK was so nice to send me off to the airport...
We had a quick lunch before I came back to Malaysia at Terminal 3, but I don't remembered the name of the fried chicken that we had! Oh my, I have left this post for too long!
But the fried chicken was really nice and I really enjoyed it so much! But it can be very heaty because it's fresh from the oil! They are at the right size and I was able to finish all 3 of them.


Look who I met when I was in Terminal 3!!!
Hahaha, it was a surprise for me. 

This trip was so tiring for me that the moment I boarded the plane, I dozed off! Gosh, can you imagine that? I didn't even finish watching the air stewardess' safety measures and what to do if emergency happens. I tried so hard to remained my eyes open but I failed. My eyes weren't in my control at all! And the strangest thing is, I don't usually sleeps in plane because I don't feel comfortable and I just can't get any sleep when I'm in a plane in the past.
When I actually woke up, it was due to the announcement by the captain asking cabin crew to get ready for landing. What?
Hmm. I guess this trip was maybe just too tiring for me and I walked too much maybe?

粽子*榴槤*神秘禮物

因為在端午節期間去了一趟新加玻,所以我只吃到了一顆粽子而已!
粽子是我最愛吃的季節性食品啊~~~
心理很不平衡。。。
可是這樣的不平衡心態很快就被榴槤給化解了,
我在兩個星期里,差不多每天都在吃榴槤。
我因為怕熱氣和喉嚨痛,所以我非常的勤勞的在和鹽水和蜂蜜水。
但是惡夢終於都發生了, 我在上星期六就已經感覺到不舒服了,可是我心想,很可能就只是發熱氣而已啦,吃了panadol應該就會好了吧。
但是直到星期日為止,我只感覺到我的喉嚨約來約痛,連吞下食物都不行。這幾天的睡眠品質也很不好。
星期一一大早, 我第一件做的事就是去看醫生, 為什麼星期日不去看嗎?我去到的時候他們已經不收病人了,話說醫生也感時間。
Haih...
終於在星期一看到醫生時,他說either進醫院吊點滴或是吃他給的藥。

我不是已經說了嗎!我的喉嚨痛到也腫脹到很大,我也覺得很難受了。
他問我要去selayang還是parkcity的醫院時,我立刻說我要去parkcity,因為我真的等不到太久了, 我一回到家就叫醒我姐,大約等了半小時候,她就準備好了,當我从客廳走到車的半路不到, 我連站都站不穩,雙腳都還在抖。我還要我爸扶著我上車。
雖然parkcity說近不近說遠不遠,但是那段路好像真的很長!!!
幸好當時只有我一個人啊! 但是她們在took some time to register me and poked an IV line for me after measuring my bp,pulse, and temperature. 我竟然燒到40.7℃啊~
Pulse140++,因為我還沒有吃我hyperthyroidism的藥。。。
過後她們也給了我paracetamol來減低我的body temperature...
其實她們在外面討論我的bloodtestresult時,我都有聽到一點點,但是又不一定是真的。
過後,在A&E的MO就跟我說要在抽多一次血來驗多一次。
報告出來以後, 那個MO說我很可能性有leukaemia,因為我的bloodcount全部都很低,抱括了我的WBC&RBC...我的WBC低到只剩下0.4-0.6罷了。。。
我聽到了以後其實還蠻害怕的, 但是過后當他們發現到原來他們overlooked了我的hyperthyroidism和我爸爸是thalassemia carrier時, 他們就知道應該不會是leukaemia了。。。
我當下松了一口氣啊。。。
大約12中午, 在A&E待了大約3個小時后, 我進到了病房。 可是我真的很不習慣。。。
醫生說,他admit我是因為viral infection,因為我正在吃的hyperthyroidism的藥使我的immune system变差了。。。


Happy New Year 2024

 今年對我來說是一個新開始, 因為我真的要結束我“念書”的日子了。 想得到很久的master也在去年得到了。 但是我沒有想像中的激動,開心一定的。 我現在面臨的問題確實身份曖昧, 我必須重新定義我的專業身份。 同時我的生活也有很多的不確定性。 如果要說,感覺上3天3夜都說不完。 ...
