07 January 2018 actually is a day before i leave Singapore. That time i actually didn’t have a plan to take another Mission Badge series, because i am afraid i cant finish them. i want to have more relax time on the last day of my vacation. After visit Haw Par Villa, i decided to go to Chinese Garden. This was my second time to go there. The first time was when i hadn’t play Ingress. Around 05:00 PM, i already at Chinese Garden MRT Station. At that time it was raining heavily. So i had to wait to go to Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden.

I started to enter Chinese Garden around 06:20 PM. The rain already stop. At first, i didn’t check the missions on my scanner, because i decided only to capture the portal to get Unique Portal Capture & Visit. But after i walked around, i just realize that it’s only 3 rows of Mission Badge to finish. I think it would be an easy mission to take before i go home to my country. So i started the mission at 07:05 PM, i had to go back to Chinese MRT Station, where the first portal need to be hacked. After about 1 hours 30 minutes walking around i already finished 14 mission badge from 18 total mission badge. It’s already dark that time. When i take the 15th mission, i just realize that the portal for this mission need me to go inside Japanese Garden. The gate connecting Chinese Garden to Japanese Garden was already closed, and it’s said that Japanese Garden only open on 05:30 AM – 17:00 PM (actually this is the time when i start this mission. OMG). I kinda frustated that time, because i have to check out from hotel and go to Airport on the next day.

So i need to go back to this garden tommorow morning. After check Singapore MRT and Bus timetable i decided to go back to this place.

The next day on 08 January 2018, i wake up very early. It’s still 05:00 AM. I decide to go out from the hotel at 05:10 AM and i directly walked to Kallang MRT Station (the nearest station from my Hotel by walking). I already arrived at Kallang station on 05:20. The MRT Station was still closed and i had to wait about 15 minutes before it’s open. This was my first experience to take the first MRT train in Singapore. I ever took the last MRT train during my visit to Singapore 3 years ago. It’s actually really a memorable experience. I finally took the MRT on 05:45 AM at Kallang and it need about 45 minutes to go from Kallang station to Chinese Garden Station. I arrived at Chinese Garden Station at 06:30 AM. It’s still dark and it’s raining again. Damn !!! Hahaha… I decided to wait a little bit, and after 15 minutes, the rain had slightly subsided. I decided to walk to the garden even the rain was still drizzling. The Japanese Garden was opened like what’s it said on the gate. I just finished the 15th mission badge, before it’s raining heavy again. OMG !!! Fortunately i could find the Toilet Building in Japanese Garden to take shelter. The rain was so heavy that time, so it’s impossible to continue the mission. Fortunately, i had raincoat inside my bag. After waiting about 15 minutes, i decided to continue the mission even it still rains heavily. I took off my shoes and left it on the toilet and i walked barefoot. 😃After about 20 minutes walking in heavy rain, i finally completed the missions. I think this is the hardest mission i took since i play Ingress. It’s not because the mission actually, but it’s because the timing and the weather.

Anyway, this adventure is really fun for me. Because it needs effort and i have memorable memory. I can meet a new friend and i can explore some places i never know before.

Thank You #Ingress #Niantic
