Summer 2014: Marina Bay, Merlion and Johor Bahru

image


First stop: the Sentosa Merlion. To tell you the truth, I only learned the one in Sentosa wasn’t the main tourist attraction because of my tito’s comment, “Isn’t the real Merlion in Marina Bay since the one we’re visiting doesn’t sprout water?” Anyways, we enjoyed visiting the place because we got to experience the skyride. It was so scary up there I screamed so loud andI couldn’t turn back for the fear of losing my shoes. Still it was a great experience overall!

These two girls are among my all-time favorite models. Oh, did you know that they love The Voice’s Christina Grimmie so much they watched her Q&A video a dozen times?

An hour later, we met up with my mom then my dad around dinnertime at Marina Bay Sands. Snapshots below:

Finally, a long overdue family photo at the real Merlion! 


Our final stop before the summer vacation officially ended was in Johor Bahru where we dined in at the Grand Straits Seafood Restaurant. Their food was simply the best! I would love to return to that place in the future.

One word to describe this summer: REMARKABLE.
