a visit to FINE city
I was a fulltime Camp5 crew for about three months (it was between England and Intel). For those who wonders what exactly Camp5, here's a little bit info.Camp5 is an indoor climbing gym located in L5 One Utama. It was once the biggest indoor climbing gym in asia (the famous tagline for us crew to remember) before PutraClimb take over the title.
It was back in September that I visited Singapore for the annual climbing competition, ClimbON! located in Pasir Ris. Bought the Air Asia flight tiket a month earlier, with amazing price of RM85 for a return ticket and booked a room in one of the resort in Pasir Ris. Special discount as we get helped from Li Zhen, a Singaporeans.
Depart from LCCT and reached Cha/ngi airport after about an hour journey. Different by one time zone. Was greeted by my oldmates, and then when I split from my groups. Check-in the resort, and start to wonder around the city. Changi to Pasir Ris (the very last stop) took about 15 minutes. Free shuttle service from the MRT to the resort. The travel time from Pasir Ris to Bugis station was roughly about 45 minutes.
There was a Halloween celebration in Bugis Junction. Too many of the ghost lingering around the area. We continue walking around Esplanade cross the bridge to the Merlion. We did went to Sunrise, and few linked shopping malls. I was looking for Ben & Jerry's stall. Craving for the belgium waffle + baked alaska ice cream + chocolate syrup on top. Nowhere to be found, but still manage to had a lavish ice cream.
It was late night and decided to crash at Suhana's crib in Yew Tee (at the moment, I have no idea where that was). Besides, it has been long time ago since I last met her parents. It was an early Christmas celebration here. The deco is everywhere, and its only September. Safely reached her place, and her dad still remembers me. He used to called me the 'tokong girl'. I used to carpool with Suhana after band practice, and he will eventualy dropped me at the tokong which nearby my house.
Sunday come and its the day for the big event! I had breakfast in A&W treated by Suhana's mom. Lovely woman indeed. I came from Yew Tee and promise to meet the rest of the team around 11am at the event place. It was a long walk from the chalet towards the event place. Everyone is in orange, bouldering as much as possible. I was After awhile, I followed Zul to BorderX in Orchard Central for a reason. We had a bit of detour, walking around sightseeing... having crazy ice cream moment with ben & jerry chocolate fudge brownies. Updates on the game, Zam won 1st (as he always does it) and his team got 3rd place. Congrats to him & the team!!!
Next morning we had to que to use the toilet. (7 of us with 1 toilet!) Knowing that we need to check-out by 1030 hours, everyone try to be as fast as possible. Hakim was the last, and he returned the keys. Luckily no extra chargers for the late return. next flight home to LCCT is at 1615 and I was praying hard that the flight will not delayed since my next flight to PEN is at 1935! Thank God it didn't.
It was an awesome trip with the crew.
