Backpacking in Singapore

Well, I'm not actually bacpacking. You can say that this is a semi-backpack traveling. Me and my friend Sarah stayed at a backpacker hostel but I don't use any backpack, I use a "koper tarik ala pramugari" instead and still do some shopping (heehee). But yeah, this is the 1st time I managed my own traveling schedule, searched the budget backpacker hostel myself, searched the cheapest plane tickets myself. All free time... All mine :-D

So I stayed at City Backpacker hostel in Kallang, only Sin$15/bed/night in a mixed male-female dorm. At 1st I was a little bit scared, since this is my 1st time staying at a backpacker hostel and I'm just traveling with my girl friend Sarah, just the two of us. No boys, just us the "two little city girl". But it actually not that bad. I really recommended this hostel, the owner is very nice and helpful and the place is very clean. We shared 8 bed a room, with surprisingly most girls in the room. They just run the bussines for a month, so the place is still brand new, and they got free internet and free coffee available. Simply check their website www.citybackpackers.com.sg (kok gw malah promosi?)

However, Sarah and I have experianced a scary moment. So when we got off the MRT Kallang station around 11 PM, there were two tattooed scary big guys staring at us and watching us. Sarah noticed this, and we fastened our steps back to our hostels. And guess what, they're following us! Highly aware of everything bad that might happen, we ran to the enterance door. We're save. For now... (Gee... Gosh...) Tomorrow we won't come home late for sure...

Anyway, tomorrow's plan is browsing the collonial distcrict of Singapore, Orchard Road, and Chinatown. It'll take a whole day. Gotta sleep now, and the day after is the big day, the day why we've been planning for the trip to Singapore. "THE" concert. Cheers!
