Why we love Fridays (Part 2)

Another Fun FREE Friday!

Lucky for us, Madel (who loves museums) was able to find an article that says admission every Friday night (starting at 6pm) is FREE at SAM (Singapore Art Museum)! It really pays reading blogs and searching the internet for freebies :) We enjoyed our museum tour especially the magical bookcase and seeing the works of our very own Jose P. Rizal on the second floor #proudtobepinoy

Why we love Fridays (Part1)

Who says living in Singapore can be expensive? Well, whoever said that speaks the truth :)

Since Singapore is one of the first world countries, everything is a bit pricey and most of the time can be way too expensive. From room rentals, transportation, food, health services, everything! But who says we can’t have fun on a budget? After living in Singapore for 2 months with limited means, we learned how to make the most of our stay without spending too much and what we did was take advantage of the things that we can enjoy for FREE! Yes, we enjoyed most of Singapore’s tourist  spots for free :)

One of the best Fridays we had was spent in Sentosa. All the activities we did was FREE so BIG THANKS to Ray (hubby of Madel’s dear friend Angie). He is working as a sales agent in ducktours and they are allowed to use a “special card” during their rest day to take advantage of the rides/activities in Sentosa. We were able to enjoy almost all of the activities in Sentosa like the Jewel Cable Car, Luge and Skyride, Mega Zipline, Underwater World, 4D Magix, River Cruise and Singapore Flyer.

Last stop - Singapore Flyer!

All batteries were drained when we get here so we were not able to take pictures :(

But nevertheless, we enjoyed our Fun Free Friday @ Sentosa :)

Why we chose to wear white..

After our exhilarating experience with the elephants, we went back to our hotel to freshen up. We had to do our last minute shopping and explore Patong Beach on our last day.  

We didn’t really planned on wearing the same color clothes. Actually I wore a blue top but when I saw all of them wearing white I was really surprised that I had to look for a white top as well!

We look so fresh wearing white, right? :)

Why Thai vacation is not complete without an elephant ride..

We spent our last morning in Phuket riding elephants! Madel made reservations for us and due to limited budget we chose the 20 minute ride for 600 baht which is the cheapest :) 

It was really scary at first but we had so much fun. RJ and I were so lucky to have a guide who loves to take lots of pictures! Compared to Ais, Madel and Hilda’s guide, ours was funnier and made sure we had beautiful shots :)

Kok Chang Elephant Trekking Safari is located on a beautiful Ocean Viewpoint in this dense tropical jungle setting just 15 minutes from Patong Beach, 10 Minutes from Karon, 5 minutes from Kata and 10 minutes from Nai Harn, Rawai.

I was so scared and was shouting all the time

but I still had to smile and hide my fear :)

You can donate some of your baht in exchange of fruits!

We had fun feeding these gentle giants :)
