The first time I went to Singapore was at end of May 2010 to visit my boyfriend who worked there. Flight from Surabaya to Singapore takes 2 hours. I remember I got a promo airfare for IDR 1.3 million (about USD 145) 2 ways. I went there alone. During my visit in Singapore, I stayed in my boyfriend's apartment in Potong Pasir.
Singapore is a really well organized and clean country. People are not allowed to drink or eat in MRT and buses. At first, it was a little hard to understand Singapore's English accent and they use Singlish so often, but in 1 or 2 days I could adapt to it. Chinese people in Singapore usually use Chinese as their daily conversation language. I'm a Chinese but my Chinese is not that good. I had to say, "Sorry, can you speak English please?" quite so many times, because they talked to me in Chinese instantly when they saw me.
