SETAN JAWA

The dark and cloudy sunrise unseen with a view at the three towers of the Marina Bay Sands | Singapore 2017

Untuk baca entri lama di patung ikan duyung dan singa (baca, mermaid and lion becomes merlion) disini, sila berakit-rakit: 2010 | 2011 | 2013 | 2015a | 2015b.

Merlion. Its name combines "mer", meaning the sea, and "lion". The fish body represents Singapore's origin as a fishing village when it was called Temasek, which means "sea town" in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore's original name—Singapura—meaning "lion city" or "kota singa". - wikipedia 

Pagi Ahad tadi penulis sudah berenang-renang ke tepian tambak. Olehkerana tiada data dalam telefon bimbit, penulis sudah rakamkan perjalanan menggunakan Google Maps. Hendak menggunakan data perayauan antarabangsa (baca, roaming data) agak mahal dan tidak berbaloi. Jadi, penulis ikut lebuhraya BKE, ke lebuhraya PIE, keluar Sim Avenue ke lebuhraya Nicoll Highway dan tiba di parkir durian Esplanade dengan mudah, tepat dan selamat. Sebelum ini, bila hendak ke pusat bandar, penulis guna gps Papago atau Garmin yang melalui jalan lama menyusuri Orchard Road yang banyak lampu trafik dan agak mencabar. Balik dari bangunan durian Esplanade pun ikut jalan lebuhraya yang sama.



Cuaca pagi tadi agak mendung dan berawan tebal. Tujuan menangkap gambiran matahari terbit tidak menjadi. Rujukan: Marina Bay Sands sunrise 2013.

Sebelum keluar ke Jay Bee, penulis sempat singgah di Woodlands Oldtown untuk membeli suratkhabar dan sebongkah berlian.

Kerusakan hari ini: tol JB (RM9), tol Woodlands (SGD6.40), parkir di Esplanade (SGD4.40), The Straits Times (SGD1.10). Minyak petrol cikputih tidak ternilai.

Tukar matawang terkini: SGD1.00 = RM3.22 (belian).
