Summer 2014: Marina Bay, Merlion and Johor Bahru

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! 

Monster in a trash can? I could live with that!  

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? 

Selfie on the way down the skyride!

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

I was my tita Janet and tito Rodel’s official photographer during their trip!

I love my parents so much! 

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.

Then there’s this precious carousel right around the corner to remind me of the good ol’ days: 

One word to describe this summer: REMARKABLE. 

Summer 2014: Universal Studios

Late post thanks to the sudden gush of schoolwork I’ve been dealing with since I returned to Manila on Tuesday last week :( Because I took many photos from trips to various destinations during the last few weeks of my summer vacation, I will take the travel blogging process one by one to avoid the risk of draggy, lengthy entries. First on the list: my trip to Universal Studios! 

I tagged along with my cousins at my first visit at the place since 2011. My fear for rollercoasters and heights was tested thanks to the Revenge of the Mummy, the Shrek Dragon, and Canopy Flyer. I almost backed out of Transformers 3D but thank goodness I didn’t because I had the best time ever! So far, Transformers and the Jurassic Park’s Rapid Adventure count as my favorite attractions there.
