Having Holiday in Singapore
Orientation
Last month, my friends and I went to Singapore to
spend our holiday. Events
We stayed there for three days. On Tuesday morning,
we were ready at the ‘Husein Airport’. The plane took off at 12.25 p.m. and landed at ‘Changi Airport at about 3 p.m.
Then, we went to the hotel by taxi. In the afternoon, we took
a walk to ‘Mustafa Centre’ it’s not far from the hotel. There’re many things sold here, we felt hungry so we found
some food for our dinner.
The next day , we visited The Merlion Park, it was
crowded. There are a lot of people came from different countries. After taking photographs in the park, we went
shopping to Orchard, we could find everything here. At noon, we continued our trip to Sentosa Island, we really
enjoyed the view of Singapore city and the harbor from the
cable car. At night, we w atched “Song of the Sea” wow...
it’s amazing. All audiences looked satisfied to watch the show. Unfortunately, we didn’t visit ‘Universal Studio’
because of the time.
On thursday morning , we prepared everything to go
back to our lovely country. I brought a doll for my younger sister, some t-shirt for my brothers and nice brooches for my
beloved mother.
Re-orientation It’s an exiting experience for me.
