Universal Studios Singapore (USS)

Salam.

Hi uols.

how are you? sihat? :)

ok, as i promised before, i'll be writing on USS.

and coz im so rajin and baik, i will include some tips and stuff bout USS.

important ok. hope it will help those who wanna go there.

PRE 

1. Make sure you know how you would be going there. like seriously, plan your transportation, accommodation, places to visit, etc. (know where you would be heading to!)

2. Passport bebeh! minimum is 2years for RM150. bring along 2 passport size photos or else you have to take photos there (consume more time and you cannot choose your photo) + bring along your old/ expired passport if you have one. 

3. Money! convert your money siap-siap. if you just go to USS, no shopping, no fancy restaurant, travel cheap, i think SGD 250 would be enough. 

4. Pack ur bags! :)  - and for one day trip, i just brought a big handbag. backpack would be more comfortable actually. Buy poncho/ raincoat at Malaysia yang murah tu je cukop. Bring some breads (to alas perut) + drinking water.

*as for communication/ cellphone line, i use Maxis, and it is connected, the line is pretty good. my friend uses Celcom and didnt get the line there.

TRAVELLING

a) LCCT to Changi Airport

We went to Singapore by AirAsia. all in return tix cost me around RM 238. 

the journey took about an hour (LCCT to Changi Airport)

b). Changi Airport to USS

so here...

• From the airport, head to the Arrival Hall and go to the immigration.
• Head to Skytrain T2 (to get to the SMRT) . usually you dont have to wait that long to board the Skytrain and it is free. :)
• once you reach SMRT, buy yourself (through the machine or counter) a return ticket to Harbourfront. I didnt buy return ticket (God knows why) but it would be easier if you directly buy it. one way tix to Harbourfront cost SGD3.3

*and here's the thing, some people suggest that we buy EzLink card. we asked the SMRT lady and she said that it is not worth it to buy EzLink. The price is SGD12. The card itself cost us SGD5. So only SGD7 credited at the first time. and the card cannot be refunded.

*be careful while boarding MRT. when its door is closing (you'll hear the sound), you should not attempt to squeeze in. the door is really closing tight, even with people in between. I saw it happened! scary! huhu

•  So by now, you should be on the MRT heading to Tanah Merah Station.
•  Once you reach Tanah Merah station, hop off and board MRT heading to Joo Khon
• So dont wait until Joo Khon. lol. stop at Harbourfront station. you will be in the Vivo City Mall. No...dont shop! haha. go to level 3. get a monorail ticket to Sentosa Station (USS). it costs SGD 3 (you wont be paying/ needing a new tix to get here back from USS later. it is kinda like a return tix though not stated). and the queue might be long here. while on the ride, enjoy the scenery! :)
• yippie yaya! you've reached USS!!~ :)

*and you'd be going back to Changi airport, etc using the same route :

~USS/Sentosa station - Harbourfront  = Free (but usually if you go back at night, it would be a long queue from USS)

~Harbourfront- Changi (with a few station stops) = SGD 2.4

USS

TIPS: you could buy USS tix online or on the spot. it costs SGD74 (counter price). ive heard that sometimes, the queue is crazyyy.. but luckily, we went there on Thurs and the queue wasnt that bad. :)

a) things not to miss! :

so no matter how tight your schedule is, you CANNOT miss this ........

 

1. taking pics at the USS globe! like seriously, you never been here if you didnt get a photo or yourself there! a must-snap spot! lol

and this ............

2. the crazy roller coaster ride. two types: Battlestar Galactica Cyclone and Human. 

Both are crazy. My left leg was cramped (yet i still rode both) and hilang ok cramp kaki i lepas naik. lol

and let me tell you, the first roller coaster (yang dekat dengan Ancient Egypt) sangat nak terkeluar tekak jerit. menjunam ok. and the other one, your legs will be hanging. so if you think your shoes size 10, kaki size 8, cabut siap2 lah kasut k! 

*do skip this ride if you are preggy or have heart prob, etc ok! hehe

 

3. and at Sci-Fiction too, you should not miss Transformers the Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle. Seriously worth the wait and queue. you will feel like a hero afterwards. lol

 

4. and another one,  Revenge of The Mummy (Ancient Egypt). Awesome indoor ride! 

b) Entrance

-no bag checking. sooo...yeah. :)

-you could bring drinking water or just empty bottle. there are lots of water cooler. so you could just sip it from there or refill your bottle.

c) Toilet

-clean and lots. if you are looking for the one with water hose, look further at the end of the cubicles! lol.

d) Surau

- a few.

- i used the one that is located in between the Ancient Egypt and Sci-Fic. it was no that big but good enough.

wudhu place and telekung + sejadah are provided (though not so harum..lol) 

e) Locker

-It is relatively secured and password protected. 

-The space could allow two big handbags in. it is free for the first 30minutes. You need to pay if you use it for more than 30mins. So, take some of ur money and put in ur pocket, in case you exceed 30mins.

-most of the ride, would be easy without your bags. especially if your bags are big. but if im not mistaken, only the roller coaster rides at Sci-Fict do not allow bags or even phones. (they 'metal detecting' you ok.haha)

f) if it is raining (heavily), all the outdoors activities will be stopped until the weather is ok  (if it is drizzling, usually the outdoors are still on). so dont take too long to move you legs to the indoor activities. ask the workers. and move there fast. if not, you would be caught up in long queues and waiting for lockers to be emptied.

When we went there, it was sunny at first but near to evening, it was raining. so poncho comes handy and trendy. so people, dont forget to buy raincoat/poncho at Malaysia (it costs RM3.50 at Watson and RM3.00 at Guardian. if u buy it in USS, it costs u SGD3). 

Plus, you will be needing one (if you do not intend to get wet) while playing water boat at Jurassic Park. 

Water could be splashing inside the boat and kena your baju or kasut. so be prepared to get wet without poncho. and your shoes, if you didnt bring slippers/ extra shoes, just take em off, put em in a plastic bag and carry em on your lap! *alert with your camera/ phones, bungkus dalam plastik or put em in locker!*

However, if it is raining, your shoes WILL get wet! lopak air, with hujan jatuh on your shoes, basah ok! that's why kaki i cram. so nak senang, pakai kasut material crocs tuh. hehe. or bring extra slippers. but comfy shoes/ sandals are a must ok! ko taknak wat drama lenguh melecet tengah-tengah berseronok ok!
and yeah, you could also bring extra shirt/pants. not necessary but you could if you want to.

and the most important thing, be SAFE, ENJOY yourself, and SNAP lotsa picturesss! :)

 

 ok, the hats were smelly but bearable! :p

 

 flying kiss from Princess Sara. eh? hehe

 

we visited Shrek's house too :p

and oh yes, USS is prettier at night! hehe

 and againn... haha

JoM! :)

p/s: so... next trip?

 dare to put ur finger inside?

 boat-ride for RM3 (return ticket)

and of course, our photo shoot...  :p

My friends, they came all the way from KL and me, from Kg Gajah.
We met somewhere first coz obviously, i dont know the direction [though it was in Ipoh..(yeah, ikr!)]
but it was definitely an awesome met up and hang out, totally unplanned!

walaupun keletihan tetapi kami berasa gembira.
(ok, a cliche ending by my form 1 student! lol).


p/s: I pray that my friend wont have to be a warden. Love u lots, sis! :)

new year..

Salam. 

Hi.

Last 2 days, on new year lah kann, aku g lagi ke Lost World of Tambun.

tapi kali nih, memang orang pack gile. seolah olah, new year resolution diorang ialah pergi ke Lost World on New Year..ha..camtuh lah.
parking punyerlah susah nk carik. locker pon asek penuh jer..

nak naik gelungsur air pun beratur panjang... toilet apatah lagi..memang penuh dengan manusia.

aku rasa ada je kot yang give up menuggu, trus gune alternative lain.

tapi bile dah petang sket orang pun dah kurang. so time tuh kitorng main gelungsur air tuh.

tapi bukan tuh sebenarnyer nk cite.

kali nih, time pegi petting zoo, boleh katekan aku say hi kat sume binatang gitu. diorang pun macam happy nampak aku..semua burung terbang dengan lebih gigih, sumer ikan berenang laju-laju..hah, tak ke excited tuh?? haha.

raccoon yang hari tuh aku takut nk pegang sebab kuku dan gigi die, aku gosok2 macam kucing.

aww..kasarnyer bulu.huhu.

and then pegang sugar glider jugew. ada 3 ekor tapi 2 sedang busy bercinta, so yang solo tuh lah aku pegang. cumil okeh. rasa nk picit. naik atas bahu lah... aww, rasa nk masuk poket bawak balik.

jalan dan jalan lagi, sampailah tempat kambing-kambing tau.

adalah beberapa species kat situ. ada banyak kambing biasa and seekor African Dwarf Goat.

yang seekor kambing biasa kat situ macam bunting.. 

so adik aku tanya lah zoo keeper kat situ,

adik : bang, yang nih bunting eh?

zoo keeper : ha, yang tuh bunting

aku : ooo, engkau eh bapak dia...

pastu semua orang diam ok.
macam terkesima.
dengan aku-aku pun diam.haha

weh, aku tengah cakap ngan seekor kambing kat situ tau.

yang aku tanya "engkau eh bapak dia", aku tanya kat kambing kat situ.

memang time tuh, aku tengah gosok kambing tuh..huhu

pastu semua orang senyap, termasuklah zoo keeper tuh sebab die ingat aku cakap yang dia bapak kambing tuh...duhhh!

aku pun cakap, "eh, bukan saya kata awak, saya cakap kat kambing nih"..

ok, tetibe rasa pelik bile ngaku cakap ngan kambing. tapi dah kat umah aku terbiasa cakap ngan Spot.
and confession lah, aku mmg suka cakap ngan binatang. walaupun baru first time jumpa.
kalau aku jumpa binatang comel, aku cakap, "hi monkey, eeiii...comelnye engkau".
ha, camtuh lah.

i mean, cakap2 biasa lah, bukan mental okeh!

and then, dia pun cakap, "ahaha..tuh lah, saya pun pelik, awak cakap saya bapak kambing. eh tak, yang nih ha bapak die..."

wahh uols, tak agak2 kambing betina nih, kawen ngan kambing paling hensem kat situ, African Dwarf tuh.

dah lah weh, malas nk cite pasal kambing tuh. yang penting, semua orang dah tau sape bapak kambing tuh..

dan semestinyer bukan zookeper tuh k! T__T. 

and kali nih, bile balik, sepatutnyer happy, nih aku sedih ok.

ok, happy tuh happy lah tapi elok2 aku datang berslipper, balik2 bawak kaki ayam je ok.

patut lah time aku tengok ayam jantan yang besar kat zoo tuh, aku cam usha kaki die jer.

weh, besar ok kaki ayam tuh. like, besar yang kalau letak tapak tangan ko ngan kaki ayam tuh,  ala2 xleyh beza lah...haha.

ok lah, aku parking slipper aku atas locker, bukan dalam locker.

locker dah penuh sampai nk letak syiling 5 sen pun tak muat. wah,over okeh..
yela, aku budget, semua orang datang berslipper. so xde lah kot mane2 punk yang nk rembat slipper orang lain.

skali... time2 aku nk masuk toilet lah slipper ilang...T__T

So, aku terpaksa masuk bilik air untuk shower dan berjalan-jalan disekitar LWoT termasuklah tempat parking berkaki ayam. dah lah ujan..jengket2 okeh jalan.
pastu semua skuad LWoT cam jalan jauh2 je ngan aku..haha. korang memang tau!!

and sepanjang aku jalan, memang ala2 gadis pemalu ah aku jalan.

pandang bawah jer. bukan sebab malu, harus aku usha kaki-kaki orang lain okeh. kalau aku jumpe slipper aku, aku mintak balik tauuu.. slipper tuh dah lah sedap walopon agak unisex sket kann..huhu.

menyesal tak pakai slipper tat seng tuh jer T__T.

and semalam, time aku sapu losyen, aku telah menemui ketuat kat tapak kaki aku..
waaaa!!! T__T.. dekat kawasan aku jengkit2. kecik je tapi sedih lah bile tengok.
senang ilang tak? huhu

oh ye, semalam birthday abah. 

daddy (oh, tetibe panggil daddy uols), happy birthday. of course i love sooooooooooooooooooo much!!! muah!

p/s: blog baru nih, leceh lah pulak bila nak kena buat balik semua application blabla.. slow2 okeh!
