This trip was planned 2 months prior to traveling date since the announcement of concert and we depend if we are going to score some tickets. My sister is the one pushed this trip I may be a fan of Lady Gaga but I was 100% sure of not going if I was alone.
I was a little in panic since I thought that this will be treated like The Eras Tour where there will be price increase on the flight and to everything. We tried getting tickets on the pre-sale but wasn’t lucky and my sister is more on panic mode compare to me since they announced that the pre-sale got sold out. I tried to tell her the concept of pre-sale because she thought that everything is sold out. The next day it was Klook package release and that’s when she got tickets and a hotel too.
As soon as she got that I looked for flights since we will also depend on the date that she will be getting. I searched for flight since I thought that plane tickets will increase since tickets are already released. I settled with Jetstar and I haven’t tried it before and it took me couple of times before succeeding since the price are already changing upon payment.
Our flight was 9PM and we will arrived in Singapore between 1AM-2AM. I was thinking of booking an accommodation upon arrival but I’m not sure if we can get to our accommodation when we arrive, I’m not sure on the time of the train or bus and I don’t have time to search since I need to book a place before it increases the price.
So I didn’t get an accommodation upon arrival and I just booked the 20th-21st and our check-in time is 2PM. Changi Airport is also one of the best airport in the world and watching that some backpackers sleep at the airport, I just decided that we will just do that upon arrival. We are doing last minute research about Singapore. I’ve been to Singapore in 2016 and it was my first ever out of the country trip and I can’t remember much since we are depending on Nikka since she was living there at that time.
If only this was very well planned I will suggest that we will go to Malaysia but I think that there’s nothing much in Malaysia as well because we might not climb Batu Caves as well.
So I booked a capsule near Haji Lane and check in is at 2PM. When we arrived since they say that there are different things you can do at Changi and we decided to transfer from Terminal 4 to Terminal 2 and surprisingly you can walk from there to JEWEL. There are already people who were sleeping at the airport and we found a spot near McDonald’s and since it wasn’t 24 hours open, we just slept there and then some time when I woke up it was already open.
We just took our time while eating breakfast and then we just walked to JEWEL after breakfast.
This was a very long day and so are my thoughts.
Thanks to TikTok that I realized that the Rain Vortex in JEWEL isn’t open 24/7. With a very tight schedule told my sister that we should check it already on the day we arrived since I’m not sure if we can still check it out before leaving.
Stores at JEWEL isn’t open except for some coffee shop. We roam around just to check what stores are there then before 10AM we settled to witness the opening of the Rain Vortex and it was pretty.
We still spent some time in there while we plot our next move to Bugis on which line we take and whatsoever when we arrived in Bugis we roam in there for a bit.
I asked if we can do early check in but since it’s fully booked we can’t but we can leave our things in there if we get there early. We already looked for our accommodation by 12noon and there was a common area that we can stay in. The host told us to still roam around the area since Haji Lane is just a few steps away but I’m so sleepy and tired already so I slept there and just wait for 2PM.

Finally after checking in, we rested a little then took a bath and we are out again. That nap while waiting for 2PM helped to make me recharge for the afternoon. Went out before 4PM first stop was Haji Lane then to Marina Bay Sands and see the Merlion since we got nothing to do but my sister isn’t prepared for all the walking. Lol
We somehow talked if she wants to do Cloud Forest or Flower Dome and said no so we didn’t do that. Went back to Bugis after walking around Marina Bay Sands. Told her to buy souvenirs as well since if we transferred to our hotel we may not comeback to Bugis. After buying some we just decided to buy food and eat at our accommodation.
Goodnight for now, Singapore.
