It was a tough match for both, but in the end Sony won the game and took the championship. As an Indonesian I am proud of him winning the game.…

    The immigration officer laughed at me for a while, then she got busy again serving another passengers. Yes, I was there in the Singapore immigration, at the automated clearance gate to be exact. My friend just told me recently that as a Singapore permanent resident, I have the priviledge to pass the immigration gate through…

Locally they are simply called travel. I took one…

    I’ve just received an email from NUS recently, saying that as a student I am entitled to enter 5 NHB museums for free. Asian Civilizations Museum is one of them. Finding a friend to go along was not very easy, since the entry fee of $5 could be too expensive for such a not-so-cool venue.…

    Due to its huge size, it may be difficult to find out how to go there. At least that what happened to me and delayed me from visiting this beautiful park.
