2nd Trip - First Step Out There

Hm.
well actually it's a totally late post, but let's make the best of it.
one of the reason why i write about this trip is that so i don't have to worry if the pics somehow got deleted. haha.

so, Alhamdulillah i was given the chance to take a step 'out there'.
i used to have a dream to go overseas. one thing that doesn't change is i'd like to go Hajj. but there was also my dream to visit England (mostly because of Westlife), then change into Austria (because i have an e-pal there), and nowadays it change to Japan (totally because my endless love to One Ok Rock and Tony Tony Chopper).

but at that moment it was a mere dream. i don't know when, i don't know how, and i can't even imagine myself to be there. it's just that i want to go there, but i don't have enough confidence in me that i actually will go there.

so, when this opportunity comes up, i grab it. fast. it comes with a price of course,, but i gain a lot.

it was in late November, 2014. my first step out there was.. Singapore.
that was also my first time buying foreign currency, and it was actually nothing, but my heart was thumping like crazy. i didn't spend a lot there, but i chose not to trade back the money i have left. well, just in case if i happen to go there again. haha

it was a long time ago, so i forgot all the details, and since the trip was taken care by other people in my group, so i was just going along with the flow.
i didn't do any research before hand, where to go, or what to buy. so practically, i was there just for sightseeing. and having fun. and taking picture. pictures. :D

we start from Batam, and we cross over the border using ferry. :D
In Singapore we stopped at some places; the Merlion Park, Singapore Botanic Garden, the front of Universal Studios, and Bugis Street.
so here are some of the photos.

that's me. screaming "Yattaaaa!!!" as loud as i can. in my heart. (>o<)

so.
that's all.
and now, i'm trying to build my dream anew. now, with a self confidence in it. Bismillah.
Aaamiiiin..
