Awesome Changi Airport

I left Jurong East to Jurong East Interchange by bus and from there, i took MRT straight to Tanah Merah Station and had a transit for another MRT to Changi Airport. The last train took me to Terminal 3. Since, i need to get to Terminal 1, i had to get another transit via Skytrain from T3 to T1. A very quick ride.

A minutes later, i reached the public area of T1. i was so pleased to see the facilities in Terminal 1. Many shops available. A lot of seated for visitors and passengers. Halal restaurant is also available. And the most important thing nowadays is the internet access. Free wifi in almost every where in the airport. If i'm not mistaken, the Airport provided 550 wifi spots for passengers and visitors convenient. Awesome right. But, this is just a beginning. Wait until you enter the departure hall (after the immigration), you'll be crazy. It fulls with branded and well known outlets. And of course, no GST imposed for all the traveler. You just need to show your passport and boarding pass for verification. Everything is tax free from the amazing SKII product until the 70 cent postcard. All are free from tax.

I had about 3 hours left before my departure back to KL. So, my time was fully occupied by visiting all the gardens and shops (not all shops, it's too many, Changi Airport is like a mini Pavilion) in the Airport. Luckily, my aunt has prepared me some food, the best roti john in Singapore. I was starving when i reached airport. So, i just had a quick lunch and started my solo experience at the airport.

Can u believe it?!! there are so many things to do at the airport. It's so so so awesome and it much much better than our KLIA and Skypark, Subang. Subang airport has future because it still clean and less crowded. But, LCCT??? improve please. Changi Airport is so international so classy and cosy.

Kinetic Sculpture

At first, i thought it was a big structure. After searching for a while and nothing big was found, i realised that i need to change my view and perspective. Then, i took breath, and looking back at the map and looking back on the decoration (which i thought it was) above me. It is actually, a thousand man made raindrops hang above you. Look like a christmas decoration to me.The sculpture is made of 1,216 bronze rain doplets that transform elegantly into multi shapes. Feel free to watch the video from their official website below.

Cactus Garden

One of many gardens built in Changi Airport. 2 gardens were in Terminal 1 where Air Asia landed.























Thematic Outdoor Garden

This garden consists of Lili pads and Sculptural Tress at their deck. Oasis style. Smoking are allowed here. Since the weather is quite warm, i left the garden after taking some photos. And if you feel like having a 'drink' in a garden, there are a bar on the left deck.
