Things to do in Singapore on weekend

Some of you might be wondering what am I doing on weekend here.. Yes, it is a small city indeed but there actually things that you could do here where you couldn't do it in our lovely Jekarda.

East Coast Park

Local people here loves to do outdoor activities during weekend. There is a big park in front of the beach called the East Coast Park. You could do a lot of activities here like cycling, jogging, barbeque-ing or even just go for a walk and have dinner.. You could see all of the available activities here. 

I did a barbeque party with my colleagues from the office a while ago. So basically we just rent the barbeque pit (it cost you about 20 bucks for 4 hours of use) and there is an online delivery package for barbeque that caters to everything you need.. isn't that cool!! The package includes the food, drinks, plates, charcoal, alumunium foil, etc.

You have to take taxi or bus to reach here as it is not near to any MRT.


Sentosa Island

There are lots of things to do in Sentosa other than visiting the Universal Studio. Basically, there are four main areas in Sentosa, Imbiah Lookout, Siloso Point, Beaches and Resort World Sentosa (this is where Universal Studio is located).

The cheapest way to reach Sentosa is by taking the Sentosa Express. How to get there? Easy, just take the purple line MRT to Harbourfront and then go to the 3rd floor where Sentosa Express station is located. It will cost you 3 bucks per person to ride the Sentosa Express. There are 3 stations in the Sentosa Island where the Sentosa Express goes.

On some weekends, I like to go to the last station, it's near the beach, and ride the Skyline Luge. Skyline Luge is a combination of skyride and go-cart. The skyride will take you to a higher point where after you reach there you will go down with your go-cart in a downhill designed track. It's quite fun and refreshing. 

You could also ride segway, cycling, swimming, etc at Sentosa Island. For more information about Sentosa please see here  

Okay, I can't think of anything else. Will write again later then..

I'm Booked!!

Holla people!

I'm in a good mood for love baby! That's because i just got engaged with my long time boyfie.. Woohoo.. (time to be a bridezilla now :D)

The party was held on Saturday on the 4th of June. But I have to tell, the preparation for the engagement party in Indonesia is definitely not easy at all. 

I landed in Jakarta on Thursday nite hoping that everything is settled by then. But what happened when I reached home??? All the cakes to be given to my bf fam are not ready, my kebaya and kain are still not ready, forgot to book the sound system.. yupp, it's a total chaos after all.

But at the end I do love almost everything about my party. I love my kebaya, my make-up ad hair do, my tent decoration. I'm not really happy with the caterer though, it's just not as good as I expected.. well, but it's over now so no need to go on and on about it.

Here are some pictures from my engagement party. I'm so happy that most of my bestfriends came to the party.. Thank u for coming galss!!

Local Trip : Batu Karas, West Java

This was my very first journey to visit one of the beaches in Java island.

I went there quite a while ago with my friends and my boyfriend. We stayed at a lovely beach hotel called Javacove located right in front of the beach. It's a very nice, quiet and private area as it is located quite remote and not many hotels are available here. The owner of Javacove is an Australian expat couple who has been travelling around Indonesia.

It was an 8-9 hours drive from Jakarta to Batu Karas. 

It is located near Pangandaran Beach so the location is actually near to the border between West Java and Central Java. Lots of people came here to learn how to surf as the waves in Batu Karas beach is perfect for beginners. 

We found a hidden private beach not far from Javacove but the road to reach there is a bit hilly. We were so glad that we found that beach so we instantly ran into the water.

Girls!!!

We also went to the Green Canyon, you have to ride a motorcycle to go there. It will be too far if you go by foot.
