Tysern & I were chosen as top 10 teams winners of the Jetstar Light Challenge, and we were to be flown to Singapore from Penang, given RM70 allowance each and a great 3.5 star hotel room to stay in for the night, then fly back to Penang the next day. The RM70 was to be fully utilized from the savings of the air fare. RM70 = around SGD30

We were welcomed with an usher from the Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel.
Shuttle service was provided from the airport to the hotel!
After our drinks, we took off from the hotel to start our journey! How?
We took a bus from the bus stop right in front of the hotel. Real efficient bus service in Singapore!
Our first main stop was Orchard Road of course! Went in The Cathay shopping mall and had lunch at the CHIP SHOP.
Then of course we had something that could not be found in Malaysia!
Super Bacon Burger! SGD4.50
(SGD25.80 - SGD4.50 = SGD21.30)And then we continued our journey through Orchard Road.

Next stop was Takashimaya @ Ngee An City
While we were there, the Takashimaya Food Fest was happening, we managed to taste various Singaporean delights for FREE!
After a whole afternoon of shopping and walking Orchard Road, we headed to Newton Food Court by MRT = SGD0.80
(SGD21.30 - SGD0.80 = SGD20.50)
After dinner, we're off to Little India for some sightseeing and shopping.
MRT = SGD0.50
(SGD16.50 - SGD0.50 = SGD16)
To our delight, it was our own Malaysian superstars, the Bass Agents spinning!
And thanks to them, we managed to enter under their guestlist, meaning we went clubbing in Singapore for FREE!
ENJOY LIFE IN SINGAPORE! That was the end of our one day trip to Singapore.
Taxi back from Clarke Quay to hotel = SGD9
Cost shared (SGD16 - SGD4.50 = SGD11.50)
Our final expense needed to cover was transport from the hotel to Changi Airport to catch our flight back. Bus ride was only SGD1.50
(SGD11.50 - SGD1.50 = SGD10)
So that ends my great one day trip thanks to JETSTAR ASIA, GRAND MERCURE ROXY HOTEL and all those who made our trip such cool and wonderful. Till the next time, see ya!
