Louis Vuitton Island Maison




I went to visit Singapore again last week and as usual amazed by the constant flowing of new establishments/attractions around the city. Before last week, I was there last February of this year too and prior to that a year gap before it and was surprised to find Universal Studios , Singapore already in full swing and the Marina Bay Sands with its stunning Marina Sky Park in full glory. I mean. .well, they weren't there yet on my last visit. The newest attraction then was the Singapore Flyer.
Exactly, why (however small Singapore is) I don't get tired of frequenting this city_ it always has something new to offer.








This time around_ I found the Louis Vuitton Island Maison floating at the waterfront of Marina Bay Sands promenade. It had its grand opening less than a month ago prior to my visit and therefore one of the newest establishments to date.It's not the first LV store in the city thu', it is actually the fifth. Needless to say_ it wasn't there yet 8 months ago during my visit before this.




looks more stunning at night.




I only made up to here, intentionally, haha. I heard how it's prettier inside..but hey I didn't want to torture myself by tearing my eyes looking on those LVs. I was 100% sure not buying and will not in the next 4 years, so why enter when not purchasing? bitter! haha.

Fairy Ferry


I was so happy about the " leg room" of this vessel. See how it accommodated well my long leggednesss , huh??:))). It was way far better than the " no-leg-room-at-all " seats of   Jetstar Airways ( well, look who's complaining _ cheapskate me who availed the promo rate on line, and refused to spend a penny for a priority seat on that budget airline which possibly had a leg room! haha ).





 But this was not even an aircraft!





It's a ferry! So comfy and so nice. Can you spot it right behind me? Sorry, this is the only photo I have showing her body. It doesn't even justify her colors and beauty. I was supposed to board already and bro just snapped this photo.





It was a ferry of Bintan Resort Ferries. The ferry we boarded going to Bintan Island, Indonesia from Singapore which is only 45 minutes away from/to each other. Economy fare for adults two way is more or less than S$70 and for emerald class, it's around S$100 or a little more.





Look how spacious it is inside.





in the tail part of the boat.





in the head part. Pardon my boat vocabulary, it's zero,haha.





Another thing that I like in this ferry is the huge wide window. The opposite of it (the tiny windows of an aircraft) I dreaded the most about boarding  the claustrophobic aircraft. (hey, may I return to my beloved country on board this pretty ferry instead ?, haha).





The snack bar is neither bad at all.





Later I'll share with you the other ferry I boarded going to another island. Until then, you would surely understand why I was so much happier with this one.
Gotta alight now.
