Europe Trip 2.0: The New Me in Transit #2

England

Considering the time I started to my journey from KLIA, I have been staying up pretty much more than 48 hours before boarding my next 7-hour flight to London (and I didn't get to shower). Upon arriving at London Heathrow Airport, sense of nostalgia began to hit me. Getting through the immigration check and reclaimed my baggage from the carousel, I found my way to the exit. The familiar British weather during winter,  it reminded me and my friends got excited when we can see our breath due to the cold temperature. Wearing only two layers, I quickly looked for tube (in London they called it so) station and getting to my hostel. 

My hostel, Palmers Lodge Swiss Cottage was strategically located and within walking distance from Swiss Cottage/Finchley Road Tube Station. Another plus point is National Express does have pick up point along Finchley Road in the event you need to commute to other locations, you just need to make sure you get onto the right bus. It was still too early for me to check into my room which was expected as most hostels usually only allow check in afternoon. Took my shower and I went on to my plan for the day. I walked to the nearest overground train station, West Hampstead and boarded the train towards Watford Junction. Earlier back in the airport, I bought daily pass, which includes the use of some national rails. Do be wary the pass that you need while commuting around London as it is divided into a number of zones and the fare varies.

Waiting for the tube

Watford Junction may seem familiar to the potterheads. This is where one can opt for the shuttle bus getting you to Harry Potter Studio Tour at Leavesden Studio. Yup, that's my first stop for my 3-day transit in England. I have visited the studio back in April 2012. I even managed to win free pass to attend the grand opening event whereby I get to see some of the film cast, including Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood). I booked my ticket online for 41 pounds, previously it was 27 pounds. I guess this is to accommodate new additions: the Forbidden Forest, 9 3/4 Platform with the train used for the movie (you can actually enter the carriages) and this time they allow you to enter the No. 4 Privet Drive and Hogwarts Bridge (the one got blown up in the last film). I shall let the photos do the talking.

They include "Fantastic Beasts" costume in their latest exhibition!

Reminiscing the magical moment for the past four hours, I headed back to hostel to check in. Initially intended to visit London for the night, I found myself falling asleep in the midst of sorting my bagpack. It was 6pm local time. I guess it was mixed of jet lag and lack of ample rest after travelling for two full days. Subsequently, I naturally woke up in the wee hours. Couldn't put myself back to sleep, I prepared for my next excursion. 

Got myself an Oyster Card for me to travel, it is a pay-as-you-go option with a cap, depending on the zones. More info at https://tfl.gov.uk/. Booked my bus ticket online (The price is usually cheaper when bought online. In fact, it is actually encouraged), the 3-hour journey began at London Victoria Coach Station. The bus departed on time and there were two ladies trying to get in. They were only like, five minutes beyond the scheduled time as the station was just literally next to me.  They even pleaded to the bus driver but was still denied boarding. The ladies exclaimed "oh my God" and walked away. Though I would think the driver would let them in. Moving on, as we cruised along the highway, so much of road trips memories came back to me with my friends during the internship days.

The greeneries of English countryside

Bath is quite a small township with beautiful medieval architecture. It is known for the remnants of Roman-built baths and temples, which was then known as "Aquae Sulis" in Latin. Today, it is listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. Roman Bath is the highlight of this part of the town. Half day was actually adequate to cover the must-sees. Boarded 7pm bus back to London.

Since it was winter, the day started to get dark as soon as the clock strikes at 4pm. That translates to much shorter daytime. I got up as early as 8am on my very last day and commenced the walk down the memory lane. I traced back my steps during first time in this very capital of England. Started off by tubing to the majestic Tower Bridge. A visit to London is incomplete without this landmark.

Tower Bridge. I was mistakenly thinking it was London Bridge when I first came.

Hopped onto another tube and Westminster Station I headed. This is where the famous Big Ben Clock Tower is, together with British parliament building, Palace of Westminster by its side. Within walking distance there's Westminster Abbey where most of the royal weddings took place and the coronation of new king/queen. During my visit, Big Ben was still under major restoration in which I could only see the clock. Shame. However, I took this opportunity to pay a visit into the abbey as I missed this out last time. With a fee of 22 pounds and no photos allowed, I was in awe of the detailed artworks inside the church. At the same time, I learned a little bit of English story. Walking through Hyde Park for twenty minutes, I found myself reaching Buckingham Palace.

Completing my stroll in the city at the busy Oxford Street. The whole stretch of road was packed of people. Christmas is approaching and decorations were up almost at every corner. Done most of my window shopping here and only spend my pounds when my stomach called for food. Calling it a day at Tower Bridge and repacking for my pitstop.

My favourite decoration was this angel light at Regent Street

Good night, London!

Now I'm taking this flight to further north.

Europe Trip 2.0: Adrenaline in Transit #1

United Arab Emirates (UAE)

When my friend mentioned that Emirates Airlines has promotion in December, I was intrigued as I have been tempted to board one. There is no direct flight from Malaysia to Iceland and we decided to transit in London. Knowing that Emirates Airline will transit in Dubai, I took this opportunity to explore the city as I never drop by any Middle East country before.

I opted for midnight flight flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to allow for more transit time (23 hours to be exact) upon my arrival in Dubai. It's been a while I have not been flying out from Malaysia via KLIA as most of my overseas trip were via low cost airline which usually was boarded at the other terminal. Wider seat, bigger screen with diverse entertainment choices, provided with blanket and small pillow; my Emirates experience has been a pleasant one. Definitely it's going to be one of my options for long haul flights now.

Exiting the departure hall

Landed at Dubai International Airport around 4am local time, I found my way out from the departure hall and thought of having a quick brekkie at the airport before my first agenda of the day. By the way, in case you don't know, for transit of 24 hours or less, check-in bag will be carried all the way to final destination, though there is option to check it out if required. The airport was rather empty as it was still early. Passed by Costa and I went in look at the menu, was really taken aback by the price and just decided to buy snacks at the convenience store to curb my hunger until lunch.

As my Apple Watch showed six o'clock, I headed towards the metro station, which is conveniently connected to Terminal 3. Bought my Nol Card/Red Ticket day pass for 22 AED and can be used on metro, bus and tram. Single trip can easily cost around 5 AED and above. Subsequently, the pass can be a good option if you intend to take more than four trips. Metro System in Dubai is not that extensive and hence, bus and tram could be required at some places which were true for my itinerary. Boarded on Metro Red Line and I switched to bus 81 upon my arrival at  Sharaf DG Station. It was chilly when I exited the station and only then I put my hoodies on.

Sharaf DG Metro Station

Language is not really a barrier as most of them can speak English. It shouldn't be a culture shock that you don't come across a lot of locals there. The populations are majorly expatriates (could be as high as 85%). Most of the signages come with English translations. I knew where my stop was and I got off the bus and started to walk towards my destination. This landmark was the first thing I know about Dubai and hence I marked it first in my list. Slowly, it appeared in front from my eyes. It's none other than Burj Al-Arab.

View of Burj Al-Arab from Public Jumeirah Beach

The design is said to be inspired by the sail of a ship. There were people in the water and I could only watch them, shivering. Burj Al-Arab is a luxury hotel and I remember the documentary mentioned it is a 7-star hotel if I don't remember it wrongly. There's a helipad on top of it and I saw a video of guests playing tennis there. Imagined the ball goes off the court and you try to catch it. It was not my intention to step into the hotel considering the time constraint for my next activity. I researched on the breakfast or high tea menu and the price is just as exorbitant as 5-star hotel rate in Malaysia. I dare not to know for the room rate there. Basically, everything in Dubai is priced above average. Easily  it can be among the most expensive place that I ever been to.

Was rather amused by this photo when I asked a visitor to take a photo me with the "sail"

Spending around half an hour enjoying the chilling morning of Dubai by beach, I hopped onto another bus and headed towards Dubai Marina. These are places are not within city centre. It took one hour from the airport to reach Jumeirah Beach. Dubai Marina is another 20 minutes bus ride. Dubai Marina is a city built next to canal with a lot of modern buildings can be seen around the area. One can have a good jog with complimentary contemporary view.

Panoramic View of Dubai Marina

There is clue in this photo for my next activity

The whole stretch of walk can be as long as 2-kilometre in which I only covered less than half of it. It was 9am and I made my way to my next station. This very agenda I would rate it as my top two things to do in Dubai. In fact, Dubai Marina wasn't even in my list at first but it happened to be nearby the location. Arrived at the place, I noticed there were few others were waiting as well.

Any idea what am I going to do next?

You guessed it right if you answered "skydive". I saw my friend posted about it on Facebook. Skydiving is in my bucket list and I was very tempted. The view of Palm Jumeirah was too awesome to resist and hence I went for it. There was some complication when I wanted to do booking online in which my booking didn't seem to go through despite that my cards have been charged, five times as I attempted to book as much. Fret not, the transactions were reverted within one week. I emailed the centre and they helped to book my slot without any deposit. Moving on, I went and checked in for my flight. Had a quick safety briefing by my instructor, Benji and there was a brief interview session by a videographer who is going to jump together with us for the session. My anxiousness only started to grow at that point as I waited for my turn. It was too late to turn back.

Boarded the plane and it took off to as high as 13,000 feet above sea level. I could see that we were above Dubai Marina. I could see Atlantis at the edge of Palm Jumeirah. As they opened the door, I looked at the world below me, I was trembling. Up to this day, the view is still vivid in my mind and  sometimes gives me chills. I was properly harnessed to my instructor and the videographer made the first jump. As we approached the door, unsure if Benji did the counting, and there we went, free fall for one minute. All I can remember was I screamed all the way until our parachute came off. Admiring the view from above especially the Palm Jumeirah, basically I have covered the whole Dubai. I didn't recall if I had a quick look at The World which is also nearby as I was focusing on the palm and to react to the videographer.

Do ignore my weird hand gestures. I couldn't hear Benji during the free fall.

I got a little dizzy as Benji brought me around as we were slowly descending for another five to six minutes, enjoying the skyline of Dubai. That was the very first time I have an aerial view, outside of the plane. My life was literally hung on a line. Upon touching down, I waited for another forty minutes for my video and photos to be ready for collection, which are stored in 8GB pendrive. It's mine to keep and it's inclusive in the package. Visit http://www.skydivedubai.ae/ for more details.

It was already past noon and my stomach called for food. I got on a tram nearby and interchanging  back to Metro Red Line getting to Dubai Mall. Arriving at Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa Station, Dubai Mall is not directly connected as I needed to walk for around ten to twenty minutes before finally entering the main building One of the largest mall in the world, that contains an aquarium and mini zoo, the scale of this mall is just humongous. I was thinking, how big a mall can get? Some of the designs kind of reminding me of Shoppes at Marina Bay, Singapore.

Finally get to see the current tallest building in the world! Dubai Mall on the right.

Kylo Ren and Stormtroopers were spotted on that day 

My friend mentioned about Cheesecake Factory at the mall and I decided to pick it as my lunch stop. The restaurant is located nearby the Souk, in between Dubai Dino and the aquarium. Screened through the menu and I went for Luau Salad as main course and Original Cheesecake as dessert. Bun was served for free as appetiser, in which I regretted taking because the portion was rather huge and I couldn't finish my salad. The cheesecake was thick and filling. These two meals cost above 100 AED.

Booked my slot for At The Top at 5pm. Bought my ticket online for 215 AED, I went to queue with other visitors before getting into the elevator that brought us straight to level 125. As we were ascending, there was projection showing the existing skyscrapers around the world and at the same time indicating how we were higher than these buildings at each level. The sun was yet to set and the colours of the concrete buildings were still visible. Though I have to say the view point area was rather narrow compared to other skyscrapers that I have visited. I went to level 124 via stairs to have a lookout on the famous fountain show. The first show was at 6pm. Speakers were installed at the level that played the music which was in sync with the fountain show. Sun set around 630pm and the city was started to illuminate with lights.

I headed back to the mall as soon as first fountain show finished. I had my dinner at McDonald and was surprised by the extra large size they have there. Had final stroll at the mall for one last time and I went out from the mall to watch the fountain show for one last time before calling it a day.

Was rather worn out and found myself sleeping at the lounge chair provided near to the boarding gate after getting through the immigration and security check. The airport was rather crowded now as compared to the time I arrived in the morning. It was 3.20am of the new day and now I'm pumped up for my second pitstop.

Europe Trip 2.0: Journey to the North

It's been 6.5 years ever since I left England when my internship ended in April 2012. I have been longing to return to my second home country and that wish was finally fulfilled during my recent trip  in December 2018. It all started when my friend asked me whether I'm interested to go Iceland. The country was initially not in my immediate-to-visit list but considering the possibility of celebrating winter holiday in Europe for another time, booked my flight tickets in the end of May.

Yours truly with fellow internmates in front of Tower Bridge in October 2011

Travelled to four countries, my trip spanned for 17 days, inclusive of travelling days. All the countries are visa-free for the entire duration of my visit. Kicked off my trip in the modern city of Dubai for 23 hours transit before proceeding to the capital of England/United Kingdom. Flying further north to Iceland for 5-day excursion before concluding in Croatia, the first runner up of 2018 World Cup. As it was December, the weather was rather chilly, can as low as zero degree and hence winter wear is necessary. Don't forget those gloves, in which I only bought them when I was there. I underestimated the freezing climate.

Burj Al-Arab and me. The first landmark I get to know when it comes to Dubai

To make this trip possible, I purchased flight tickets from four different airlines to bring me to each destination, which sum up to a total of ten flights. This excluded intercity bus, metros, trams and car hire. More details shall unfold as we go along the journey for each country. In addition to that, four different currencies are required for transactions: Dirhams is used in United Arab Emirates, with exchange rate of 115 MYR for every 100 AED; Pounds in England with the exchange rate of 1 pound equivalent to 5.42 MYR; Icelandic Krona in Iceland with exchange rate of 1 MYR is approximately 30 Krona; and 100 Kuna for 60 MYR in Croatia (or around 7.4 Kuna for 1 Euro). These exchanges rates are as per my visit. I still remember that back in 2011, 1 pound was only around 5 MYR. Do bear in mind that Icelandic Krona and Croatian Kuna are  not available in Malaysia. The options are to withdraw their notes from local ATM (after activating your card for international usage) or convert to pounds/euro and have them changed after arriving at the destination. I did the latter.

My first selfie in London!

My biological clock was rather distorted as I experienced three different time zones during this trip; GMT+4 in Dubai, GMT+1 in Croatia and GMT for both Iceland and England. Living through different cultures throughout this excapade, it reminded me the reasons for being a traveller. The world is such a big place for me to explore and I'm yet to see the end of it.

The hidden gem in Iceland

Let's start exploring, shall we?

Singapore Trip: My Heart Will Go On

"Thank you for supporting my music for nearly....
(she walked towards the piano)
nearly...
three decades.
(she pretended to stumble).
Most of you may not even be born when I started."
- Celion Dion, 3 July 2018, Singapore

But I only knew about her for two decades. It's been twenty-one years since the day my aunt introduced My Heart Will Go On and I fell in love the first time I heard it. I was seven. I remembered the days that I always waited in front of the TV for MTV to play her music videos or the radio to play her songs. At the time, there was neither YouTube nor Spotify for me to stream whenever I wanted to listen to her. There was no internet. Regardless, it didn't stop me from discovering more of her music. It became an item in my bucket list to watch her live performance after seeing videos on YouTube. I missed the opportunity to watch her in KL back in 2008 and thought I would never have the chance anymore until my friend told me that she is going to perform in Singapore this year, in conjunction with Celine Dion Live 2018. Since then, I have been checking on the site on the update of ticket sales. It was on the 17th May, 2018 at 1003 hours that I managed to get the ticket, 3 minutes after the tickets went on sale to public. The concert dated 3 July 2018, one and a half month to go.

Since the concert was held on a Tuesday, I took the chance to explore more of the little island. My visit spanned for 3 days and 3 nights as I ought to take days off from office anyway. I would consider the trip more like a  gastronomical hunt as I have been to the country before. I stayed at The Bohemian which was located in the vicinity of Chinatown, served by Downtown (blue) and North East (purple) Line. Chinatown is equidistant from Orchard Road and Marina Bay which made it quite a strategic location. If you are a budget traveller, the blue line connects you to Changi Airport which is a plus point too. 27 dollars for 3 nights, the hostel was a decent stay that came with simple breakfast, in which I skipped as I decided to have my tummy filled elsewhere first thing in the morning. The lobby setup was quite cozy though there was nothing much to shout about the room. After checking in, I had a pot of frog porridge at Tiong Shian which was walkable from my hostel. The frogs were meaty and the portion was satisfying enough to suppress my hunger till supper.

As the night started to fall, I met up with my friend to have a stroll around Gardens By The Bay. My previous visits have excluded this place and I finally made it this time around. All these while I thought the garden is limited to Supertree. Was rather amazed by the scale of this park and the trees only constituted small part of it.

Counting down to her concert

Few days before the trip, I was told by my friend there is going to be a special night event at Singapore Zoo, Rainforest Lumina. As it coincided with the day I arrived at Singapore, I decided to go for it. The entrance fee was 22 dollars and can be covered in an hour. The lighting shows were rather incredible though there weren't much animals to be seen at night. Singapore Zoo was reachable by public bus. I just found out that you can check the status of public transport via mobile app.

For my second day in Singapore, I spent most of my day at Orchard Road doing some shopping. Apparently it was Great Singapore Sales (GSS) season so I spend more that I initially budgeted. I needed to add new items to my wardrobe anyway. My actual plan for breakfast/brunch was to try the coffee place my friend recommended at Chinatown Complex. However, it was closed on Monday. There were a lot of stalls around and it caught my attention when there was a group of people queueing. As I went on, it turned out to be the famous Uncle Chan Chicken Rice, rated 1-star Michelin restaurant. My friend has strongly discouraged me to try this. At that point of time, there were no other stalls that were enticing enough and I decided to betray my friend and gave it a go, since it was only 2 dollars. It was decent or it was just not my preference.

A decent brunch

Headed over to Hong Lim complex for lunch which was just next to Chinatown Point. I found myself keep on queueing on this day and I waited for 45 minutes for Outram (pronounced as ou-tram)  Park Fried Kueh Teow. The serving was rather sweet compared to kueh teow I usually had. Could have saved a little space for Tai Wah Pork Noodle as I found myself stuffed.

Tai Wah Pork Noodle and Outram Park Fried Kueh Teow

Thankfully for dinner, we were at the eatery early enough as we were seated almost immediately when we arrived. I ordered the signature ramen at the shop. The ramen was good but the broth was too salty for my liking. It was compensated by a fine green tea right after at Hvala Tea House and ended the night at Merlion Park, enjoying the night view of Singapore city.

I think this is the first time I visited Merlion at night

Finally I have the chance to try the coffee next day at 1950's.  I kicked off with a simple brunch with toasts and eggs. The coffee was really good and can compete with Nam Heong White Coffee that in Ipoh. I tried the Ming Fa Fishball Noodles which was just next stall on the last day before leaving Singapore.

Brunch at 1950's: milked coffee, toast and soft boiled eggs. Simple meal, simple life.

Ming Fa Fishball Noodles

On the 3rd of July itself, I headed to the concert place early to check out the place after my brunch. When I arrived at Marina Bay Sands, the signages of Celine Dion Live 2018 in Singapore were up. I noticed there was "Meet and Greet" under Celine Dion Concert on the event list projected on the LCD screen. I checked with a lady at the concierge at the expo and she mentioned to me there was one at 3pm and meant for public. Subsequently, I headed back to my hostel and change as I decided to stay till the night after the session, or so I thought. As the time came, the ticketing booth was already up and I went over if there was a need to reprint my ticket and concurrently to ask about the meet and greet event. Surprisingly, the persons behind the counter told me there was none scheduled. Confused, I went ahead and double checked with the event concierge at another level (the first lady I approached was not around at the time) and the guy told me it may be only open for VVIP tickets holders. Started to get disappointed (as I was excited at first) as the information I received from the last three persons were conflicting one another. My last resort was to reconfirm with the information counter and it seconded "there was none scheduled". 5 hours ahead of the concert time, I spent the rest of my evening at The Shoppes.

The ticketing booth of Celine Dion concert

As my watch showed 6.30pm, I found my way to enter the concert hall. As I was super early, there was no line at all to go through the security check. Found my seat and patiently waited for the show to start. Though, before I go on, I would think the seats arrangement could be better, for the price I paid for that is. The chairs were arranged on the same level for the same zone which caused the the views from second row onwards were rather obstructed. My seat was at the forth row and thankfully the persons in front of me didn't grow any taller.

Early bird and patiently waited for the show to start

When I thought the show would start promptly at eight, there were still no action on stage. It was about fifteen minutes later the hall went dark and someone started singing. The audience were started to get excited and just to find out it was just an opening gimmick by Veronic DiCaire. It was entertaining regardless as she impersonated a number of singers which include Mariah Carey, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Adele, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Shakira and so on. The opening act lasted for about thirty minutes before another short break.

Once again, the lights were off and a familiar voice started to fill the hall, singing "The Power of Love". We could see a silhouette of a lady in the middle of stage before revealing herself with a spotlight on her when it came to the line "cause I'm Your Lady". There she was, standing with her gold outfit while people started cheering as Celine Dion, the real her, is now on the stage singing. I may not be able to get see up close but the thought to hear her live instead from any audio device was mesmerising. She went on and sang "That's The Way It Is", which I would consider my second favourite song from her during my childhood.

There she went to express her gratitude towards her fans and how she was amazed about coming to Singapore for very first time. She continued with "I'm Alive" and she ended with "We're Alive". "Because You Loved Me" was sung to end the first set.

The piano opening for the second set indicated the next song in the set list is "It's All Coming Back To Me Now". She went on duet with one of her backup singers to sing the theme song of "Beauty and The Beast" before the soundtrack of Deadpool, "Ashes". I wasn't that familiar with her earlier songs when she started to sing "Think Twice" and "Falling Into You". The songs that follow were "The Reason", "Pour que Tu N'Aimes Encore", "Recovering" and "All By Myself".

She started her third set with a beautiful black dress and sang acoustic version of medley of "Seventeen", "A New Day Has Come" and "Unison". As the other band members left the stage and the violin player stayed behind playing the familiar intro, it gave chills to my spine as I knew what's coming, "To Love You More". Songs of the final set include "Love Can Move Mountain" and covered song such as "Kiss" and "Purple Rain" which originally sang by Prince and "River Deep Mountain High" by Tina Turner.

She bade good night and the stage lights went off. A mother with her daughter to my left started to leave the hall. While the rest was chanting "We want more", I knew what's coming. It was all coming to this final, final song. There is no way she would leave the hall without her signature song. After a moment of silence, the instrumental soundtrack of Titanic started to play and one of the fans shouted "Celineeeee, we love you so much", coincidentally, intro of "My Heart Will Go On" played and I cannot contain my excitement which can be heard evidently in the video. She reappeared on the stage with a pink gown to end the marvellous night. 

As I left the ballroom, I can't help to get myself her concert merchandise T-shirt as my memorabilia of this glorious night. Headed back to my hostel listening back to these recordings and it still seemed so surreal that I have actually attended Celine Dion's concert. Till these days, I have been watching these videos, including those uploaded by her fans around the region. I still cannot move on.

Last photo of the day signified the end of my date with this wonderful songstress

This trip may have come an end but memories with Celine Dion shall continue to live on in my mind  for as long as I'm still breathing. If there is another opportunity to see her perform again, I won't mind grab it once more. Miss you, Celine!

And now I shall go on.
