			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As i told previously, on <a href="http://aliefmaksum.com/menjadi-om-om.htm">my last birthday</a>, i went to a nice place that i never visited before. Yup, that place is Singapore ^^ I went there with the first plane which boarding on 06.30. So, i wake up really early and on 04.00 already sit on the taxi <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Even though there&#8217;s some small problem, we manage to boarding right in time and arrive at Changi Airport safely ^^ But there&#8217;s something strange, Singapore time is GMT+8 which is like Waktu Indonesia Tengah (WITA). So when we arrive there, we must set our watch one hour earlier.</p>
<p>After finishing processing our visa, we must use Skytrain to move to the other terminal. It&#8217;s pretty cool, you can check on the images below ^^</p>
<p><img title="IMG_0011" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0011-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><span id="more-253"></span></p>
<p><img title="IMG_0007" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0007-600x450.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>After getting on Terminal 1, as we&#8217;re not having a breakfast yet, we grab some burgers on the Burger King. After get refreshed, we buy the subway train ticket and went to Orchard road. But before entering the train, i think i understand why Singapore is called <em>Fine</em> City ^^</p>
<p><img title="IMG_0016" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0016-718x1024.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="855" /></p>
<p>After about twenty minutes, we arrive on the Orchard station. We get down from the train and looking for a way out from the station without knowing where we are ^^</p>
<p><img title="IMG_0020" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0020-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>After some times walking around, we realize that Orchard is a place for shopping. And unfortunately, we&#8217;re not come to Singapore for that purpose :p But we still taking some picture in front of the Ion Orchard mall.</p>
<p><img title="IMG_0039" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0039-600x450.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Well, as usual, walking around makes me hungry and we decide to grab some lunch. But it&#8217;s not that easy, looks like pork is pretty common in here. So after passing some restaurant, we settle up on a Beef Noodle restaurant. Yummy!</p>
<p><img title="IMG_0047" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0047-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>After putting our bag, we&#8217;re going to our primary spot which is also Singapore landmark. On the way there, we got some picture <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img title="IMG_0062" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0062-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />
<img title="IMG_0072" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0072-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Well, here we are, Merlion Park, the Singapore landmark. Surprisingly, it&#8217;s not as crowded as i thought. We&#8217;re trying take out best pose here <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><img title="IMG_0104" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0104-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-251" title="IMG_0096" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0096-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />
After several pose in front of Merlion, we went to our next destination, Singapore Flyer. It&#8217;s really huge and we can see Singapore from above <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  It cost us pretty much, but i think it&#8217;s worth it ^^ When we&#8217;re going to enter it, it&#8217;s like entering a plane. Some people check our stuff  just like in the airport.</p>
<p><img title="IMG_0175" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0175-768x1024.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" /><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-242" title="IMG_0118" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0118-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-243" title="IMG_0137" src="http://aliefmaksum.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMG_0137-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /><br />
Yeah, i know.. It&#8217;s really hard to take a good picture inside the Singapore Flyer. If we use blitz, our face is bright, but the background is dark and vice versa. Well, that trip to the Singapore Flyer is ended our first day on Singapore. The next day we spent it on Sentosa Island which will i covered on the next post <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Dengan ini aku sudah resmi batal ke Singapore T_T Hiks.. Aku sebenarnya sudah lama pengen jalan-jalan ke negeri tetangga yang satu ini. Apalagi aku juga sudah punya pasport (yang dibuatin perusahaan ^-^). Saat mas Eka, Chocky dan beberapa teman kantorku yang lain berencana ke Singapore, dengan senangnya aku langsung ikutan. Apalagi tiketnya ga mahal-mahal amat. Lebih murah dari tiket PP lebaran ke Surabaya malah, maklum, lagi ada promo <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span id="more-157"></span>Tiket promo itu kita beli sekitar 2-3 bulan yang lalu. Wajar lah, tiket promo kan harus jauh hari membelinya. Semakin hari aku semakin excited. Apalagi di kantor juga sedang sedikit kerjaan dan kemungkinan ke Korea hampir tidak ada. Namun yang namanya manusia hanya bisa merencanakan. Kalimat itu terdengar klise dan sering diucapkan, tapi memang benar adanya.</p>
<p>Sebulan menjelang jadwal kepergian, ternyata aku harus berangkat ke Korea untuk sebuah project baru. Yang berangkat 4 orang dan aku termasuk di dalamnya. Huah.. Dilema deh.. Di sisi lain aku puuuengen buuuuanget ke Singapore, tapi di sisi lain aku juga kudu menghargai kepercayaan dari bos-ku. Setelah sempat mengalami pergolakan batin selama berhari-hari (lebay -_-), aku memutuskan untuk mengikhlaskannya.. Mungkin memang belum waktunya aku ke sana..</p>
<p>Good Bye Singapore.. Maybe next time..</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>:<br />
Ah, kupikir aku sudah bisa merelakannya.. Tapi saat lihat status mereka yang mau berangkat di Facebook, sedih juga ya.. Yah, aku cuma bisa bilang, have a nice trip my friends <img src='http://www.aliefmaksum.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
