Yes! Finally Im blogging about this, I havta admit that Im not that efficient because the other bloggers had already posted bout this like days ago? AHHHH.. Anyways, where should I start?

First & foremost, I would love to thank Nuffnang for the passes and the wonderful trip in S'pore! Its my 1st time to SG and I really enjoyed myself (:
Thank you Nuffnang, loves! ♥

We depart at Nuffnang office around 9am if Im not mistaken, reached S'pore Link Hotel prolly around 4pm. Took our room keys and there we go!
