Headed back to my hostel to keep my bags & stuff after dinner. Just a 3 minutes walk from the Moroccan Restaurant. Very small i know, but it's comfortable and cheap. Toilets there are clean, wifi available, mamak stall nearby and 7 eleven is few shop lots away. The owner is super friendly and helpful, he happily recommended me a few makan shop when I called him up in the morning just to ask where to get good & cheap breakfast.

Visited Universal Studios Singapore the next day. Before that I was at Vivo city in the MORNING cause my sister was late and that is the nearest mall from HarbourFront MRT station. Kinda disappointed cause a few main attractions at U.studios was closed for maintenance. Place was much smaller than I expected, nevertheless I had a lot fun there with my Sis.

Goreng Pisang? $7.50

We left universal studios in the evening and walked around Sentosa, bought tickets for Songs of the Sea and waited for the show. It is a water show, a must watch if you happen to visit there. Tickets is $10 per person.

Day 3 - Window shopping day at Orchard Road! I cannot remember how many malls I walked that day, really too many to remember. So we walked and we walked. Oh yea, toilet at Paragon was awesome, very classy. I was sick of shopping malls, so we headed to little India. There's this shopping mall there, Mustafa Singapore I think. They have tons of stock of EVERYTHING. From Nike to Crocs, caps to shoes, chocolates, you name it they got it.

At night we took a taxi to Singapore Zoo for Night Safari. All the animals there are well taken care of unlike Taiping zoo where you can see featherless ostrich. Animal show was spectacular, it was so crowded even on weekdays!

Last day in Singapore - Sis showed me around her Uni, NUS. The campus was huge, they even have free shuttle bus to take you around. Canteen there was awesome, its like a food court in shopping malls. We went to China Town after breakfast at the canteen. Nothing much to talk about Chinatown. Other than I bought a multipurpose comb made out of Ox horn for my grandma. Why multipurpose? Cause you can use it to comb your hair, massage and to release heat from you body. LOL

Overall, I had a great time in Singapore with my Sister. Public transport there was superb, I move about very easily and fast. Oh yea forgot to mention, CCTV is everywhere. They come in all shapes and sizes, big small, round square, macam macam ada.
