(dramatic) Trip

Have you ever planned to go on vacation and you ready for it but, the day before the departure, you must cancelled your vacation?

It was happened to me and my friends. Long short story, we planned a trip to Singapore with low cost airflight from Yogyakarta, while my other friends departed from Lombok and Bali. We planned to meet at Changi airport and we already booked a hostel with some consideration. We are ready to go.

The night before our departing, me and my friend heard a very loud boom in the middle of the night. we don't know yet what was that until the sun rise when we open our window.. All around our boarding house already covered by dust. It was remembered us when Merapi volcano exploded some year before. That day, we should be departed. We watched breaking news and knew that airport was closed until the better condition. We bought the airflight ticket in travel agent, so we asked them about all the things related. They couldn't answer surely because the impossible condition to be predicted. Dust everywhere. 

And after some effort we tried, we gave up. We let our friends from Lombok to go without us because flight ticket, hostel and ticket for USS already bought. 

Fortunately, on early March we finally departed to Singapore. We meet our friend who departed from Bali there. We went without any hostel or hotel booking, so yes, it was a sudden trip. We met our friend and came out the airport almost in the middle of night. MRT wasn't operating at night and we don't have any choices unless took the taxi to find the inn. We found a low cost hotel after spent a couple hours seeking. Really tired and need a sleep. 

In the morning, we went to MRT station in Bugis front of Bugis street heading to USS. Yahooooo! We are taking so many walks there but it was really okay with that. Almost spent a whole day in USS, almost took all the game. FUN. It's worth it with the cost. After that, we went to the garden by the bay and the night was so beautiful. 

Second day, we visited the epic statue of the Singapore. Yes it is, Merlion and we did't miss to take photos with him. After photo session with Merlion, we headed back to hotel because one my friend from Bali had to catched the flight that would bring back her. We went together to the MRT station in Bugis street and said goodbye. After she took the train, me and my friend decided went to Bugis market, near the MRT station. We did windows shopping and shopped couple things because we are backpacker, we didn't bring much money for bought this or that. Suddenly, my friend who should be on the flight to Bali called. She couldn't make it, she miss the flight and have to go tomorrow. We're not sad, we're happy! Sorry, my dear friend. 

Day three in Singapore we spent to shop in Bugis market and Mustafa street. It's still fun for me, although the sun was trying to burn us. In the noon, we already in airport to catch our flight. We couldn't  miss the flight because we don't have any money to buy another ticket.And finally, we landed in Yogyakarta safely. So did my friend from Bali.

It was a hard trip, yet a very fun trip. Thank you all.
