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?

later...

Salam.


Next Entry is on This ................

 kepochi-ness terserlah..lol

p/s: too lazy to update now. later. ada assignment lagi. huhu

Bismillah

Salam.

Seriously,
i feel kinda panic n stress right now.
feels like there are lotttttts of things to do in this so little time.
but having a panic attack would not help in any big way.
so yeah, let's pray that ALLAH would ease everything,
may everything go smoothly.

BISMILLAH.

p/s: breathe in, breathe out Sara. calm down.. you are stronger than this! 
you can do it! Insya ALLAH. 

Bubbles

Salam,

Kata pujangga,
hidup tanpa pegangan,
ibarat buih-buih laut yang akan pecah pada bila-bila masa.
Benar dan buatku terfikir.
Ditolak ke tepi, tepilah ia.
Ditolak ke depan, bergeraklah ia.
Tiada daya lain, di situ lah ia.
Datang ombak memukul,
pecah berderai, berganti lain.
Buih.
Mudah dipengaruhi, mudah ditolak ke sana sini, mudah pecah, mudah dicari ganti.
Tetapkanlah pendirian, ikutilah pegangan.
Jangan biar diri kau berlinangan.
Kau bukan buih.
Kau ombak yang punya daya.

p/s: it is mondayy. and it's DECEMBER.

action speaks louder than words

Salam.

from my heart google image

p/s: so say it, mean it and prove it.

cool

Salam.

u know, almost everywhere you go,
you would meet this cool and relax kinda person.
so yeah, i have this coolex friend, whom is my classmate.

well, i actually kinda admire this type of person.
im coolex too (nak jugak kan), but most of the time, i gotta say to myself, "ok, dont panic!".
so one good thing that i like bout coolex persons is that first, even in the most panic situation or stressful situation, they remain cool.
second, they have this relax face.
third, when they are not panicking or pressuring other people, you would also feel the relax aura.
it is just that....
I dislike if the laid-back attitude leads to ignorance.
oh man!
relax and cool is soooo hot.
but, if they are paired with total ignorance, it is a disaster.

(relax + cool) x kerja jalan = hot
(relax + cool) x ignorant = blur

lol
i was sometimes in the second equation.
but yeah, this is just an advice for myself.
not to panic or stress or blur so much.
and my brother, especially the 3rd one.
he's kinda a chillex or coolex person.
whenever i said, "aaa..too much work! *nagging* "
he would say, "rilex aa.. kerja sampai bila pun tak abes."
-_-

and yeah,
so tell me.
especially those who are not procrastinators.
how did you finish things earlier? or at least, not at the 11th hour?
you know, i tried to finish things earlier, but knowing the due date isnt tomorrow or being postponed,
i kinda postponing my work as well. huhu.
no bueno! i know..
but whom am i kidding right?
i cant tell lie to myself by trying to believe that the due date is tomorrow.
the same goes with clock.
some people alter the time.
like making it 10 minutes earlier than the actual time.
still, if i know that, even if i see 7.15am, i would refer it as 7.05am.
lol.
so yeah.
i think ive just need to take a baby step, in improving myself.
as long as im stepping forward, then, it is ok.
rather than standing still, waiting for a miracle to happen. 

 you know what baby? i think these sandals arent urs. 

u r a 4 sizer, that's 8! gimme back!

p/s: when something is too good to be true, it is usually true.

Purpose

Salam

Pain during labor is felt so women would push the baby out as hard and fast as possible.
While due date for assignments is there so procrastinators would 'push' as much as they could during submission.

********

Im so not in the mood yet.
Trying to do the assignments but got distracted.
Got 2 submissions this week.huhu.
and i would also spend a few days at SP to do buku pengurusan.
And why i got this feeling that they (the admins) would call me again to school for DEC eh. Huhu.
Just so u know.. Imma not coming back on Dec unless for the meeting.
No one would be there at the quarters.
and im not a big fan of driving there nymore. Well, since the borrack cident.

p/s: i guess i just need to get used to certain things.
