Yegenaga Travel & Tours Guide

Route the streets, cheap healthy and recently opened to the public in Singapore is the Southern ridges. This route consists of several public parks that are associated with tracks, with a total distance of 9 kilometers. The gardens are connected among other Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Kent Ridge Park, Science Park and West Coast Park.
My first exploration, one morning last month, starting with treading Marang Trail, which is located not far from Harbourfront MRT station. Fortunately the sky was clear enough, although the drizzle had arrived when I left. Journey through the 800 meters and also the path of forest cutting steps took me to Mount Faber Park.

At that time Mount Faber Park, one of the oldest parks in Singapore that the extent of 56 acres, packed with visitors who enjoy the morning air while jogging or a leisurely stroll. Total distance splitting Faber Mount Faber Walk Park is 1 kilometer.

The journey continues to the Henderson Waves, the bridge that connects Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill. The highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore is located 36 meters above Henderson Road. What is unique from this bridge is a structure that looks like a wave, formed from the ranks of the curved metal poles up and down. In some places also written that the bridge height above sea level.

Next is the Hilltop Walk, 1 mile track through Telok Blangah Hill Park area of 34 hectares. The most impressive part of this park is the Terrace Garden, filled with flowers bugenvile. Quite high ladder I was willing to climb for the view from the top.

Forest Walk linking Telok Blangah Hill and Alexandra Arch. Forest Walk itself is 1.3 kilometers, consisting of an iron bridge with trees in the surrounding landscape and also at the bottom of the bridge.

Next is the Alexandra Arch, across the bridge over Alexandra Road, as far as 800 meters.

My favorite part is the Floral Walk, a short track as far as 300 meters to connect Alexandra Arch and Hortpark. As the name implies, the place was crammed with flowers look very tempting to be photographed

Hortpark is the center of recreation, education, research and retail as well as for things related to gardening. There are many outdoor displays associated with home gardening, can be used as inspiration.

From Hortpark, I went to Kent Ridge Park through the Canopy Walk. Bridge in the middle of the forest is surrounded by a variety of plants and wild animals. Many plants are labeled with the name and description of a fairly informative.

Actually, I wish to continue trekking up to the Science Park, but what power, canceled plans arbitrarily by the black clouds that followed heavy rains flushed mercilessly. Well, next time,

I personally want to share the experience with friends at the Singapore Tourism about my experience shopping at Mustafa Center. Recently I visited the Mustafa Center after 2 years of living in Singapore. So long I often heard that Mustafa Center is one of the mall is really crowded and you almost can find everything there any items. To go to the Mustafa Center I take the MRT and alight at the nearest MRT Ferrer Park MRT, from there we just need a little road just to reach the Mustafa Center.

Often times my friends recommend to not go to the Mustafa Center on holiday because it is very crowded in there, it’s true. First I entered the back door of the mall does not seem noisy visitors, but after further inside, was in full swing!

The mall is big enough and solid. Do not think this mall like the malls in Orchard or other places. Mustafa Center is more like that given the air-conditioning market. The atmosphere is very crowded, people jostled with each other. The place was so full with things that give way for the visitors, the distance between the shelves of very tight (about 2x wide troley). So if anyone brought troley (push cart) is stop selecting goods, automatic road traffic. The event has become another common there.

Mustafa Center is completely sold out. Everyday needs ranging from rice to spices typical of India, clothes, shoes, electronics, tools and household utensils, cars, and much more. Also do not miss a great jewelry store in the basement of Mustafa Center for Indian people love to collect gold. Money changers, tour and travel agency, the restaurant that sells a variety of foods ranging from food india, western, malay food, do not miss the Chinese food too.

Really department mall is open 24 hours a day.  quite cheap compared to prices in other places. As I saw the ball jersey / jersey of genuine price slightly cheaper than you buy at the official store. As I see Chelsea jersey sold for $ 98 if I compare with the price at the official store of about $ 100 upwards.

Do not forget to taste the typical foods in the Indian side of the entrance to Mustafa Center. Tongue was swayed by benare artificial spices Indian food that tastes sharp and bold.

Of course, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) had reason to recommend Singapore’s Largest One-Stop Night Entertainment Complex as the place we fill the night in Singapore. True indeed, we journalists need to unwind after a little too late to cover the Great Singapore Shopping Challenge. In addition, as the STB Invitor we certainly want to indulge. In fact, in such entertainment venues, visitors can choose a pub with a variety of 9 different entertainment.

Interestingly again, the area’s nightlife center occupies a former coal power plant named St. James Power Station (SJPS) situated in the area known as the Gulf  Blangah. The place is one of the main objectives of night entertainment in the country Merlion statue. And certainly, so exotic.

When entering the area of certain leafs SJPS wide, we saw hundreds of cars parked. High box-shaped buildings, large and elongated like a row of buildings in the Old City area of Semarang.

In front of the building is the center of the chimney high enough, and the stairs up to the chimney still intact untreated, can even climb. The lights that decorate the building eliminating the impression gloom.

When to go, we gain the impression should be in an old mill complete with chimney. We tease each other even worried if we were going to face a black soot. But when he had been in it, we had no reason to worry. The room was comfortable and clean. From some rooms, the sound of faint music began to sound. Well, it’s also true, the place is really fun night workshop very well liked.

In a room not far from the entrance, there is some room to display all the documentation items and photographs relating to SJPS. Memorabilia that tells of a glorious era of power plants in the early establishment of Singapore. Former fire beneath the chimney is still visible even after painting. In addition there are writings about the functionality of steam so that visitors can find out what the utility boilers in the past.

That night, we asked around to see all the pubs there. A manager who Yap took us to every part of the pub, past the aisles that have been arranged in such a way that does not seem haunted and old. Enormity, the inside of the pub to use all the old buildings and power plants to maintain authenticity.

Typical building coal power plant in Singapore is the first, left as is. Even in the brochure given to visitors when he entered, there is illustrated the front (facade) is an old building, complete with a towering chimney height.

See also section on the ceiling of each room. There is still found old pipes attached large and penetrate into the other room. In order not impressed , the pipes were painted with silver color. According to Yap, the purpose of maintenance of the old interior of the building power plants is to remind the function of buildings in the past.

In the building there are a number of pubs with a different music scene that spread across a wide area and stratified. Visitors are free to choose which ones to pubs serving music venue that he interested. Want to select music jazz, house music, electro, Chinese pop, R & B, or Latin, into the living room serving pubs. Read the rest of this entry »

Make that used to live in big cities probably never see another animal that looks beautiful on this night. Little kids today probably do not know exactly what it was a firefly. Now to just reminisce with insects reply flickering glow was not hurt when you visit the park or the firefly Firefly Park in the town of Kuala Selangor, Malaysia.

Firefly Park is located in the town of Kuala Selangor, about 1 and a half hours away by car from Kuala Lumpur. Firefly Park opened at 19:30 and closed at 23:00, well his name is also a tour of fireflies, a good time to look at their action is at night. Remember, in Malaysia darkening time is at 19:30, different from the darkening Jakarta at 18:00.

Some people choose to travel to Singapore with direct flights to Singapore, but some were chosen through Batam. This is because of differences in fiscal that only Rp. Compared with just 500,000 in the Airport twice. Thus although the flight to Singapore fairly cheap, but the reply-count calculated by the fiscal nonetheless still expensive!

This is quite understandable, considering the plane ticket Jakarta – Batam is so cheap now almost all the national airlines serving this route. you just choose the hour of departure only, or check the travel agent.
