Hello again!!

As all of you should know from my previous post, I’m a Aggressive Inline Rollerblader. And if you’re a skateboarder, BMX rider or a roller like me, and if you travel to or is living in Singapore, and wanting to shred, THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE TO GO. EAST COAST SKATE PARK. I’m not trying to brag about it but honestly and seriously, it is a WORLD CLASS skate park, worthy of your time and money just to travel here to have a session! I kid you not!

It has EVERYTHING any extreme sport enthusiast would want. An awesome street course with so much flow, a big and deep vert bowl, a combination bowl, curbs and ledges of all heights and length and even handrails! It is street and park fused into ONE location. What more can we ask for? And the ultimate part is…it’s absolutely FREE!

Unfortunately, there is a flaw to it. It is the weather. Singapore is a tropical island. When there’s tropical, there is rain. And boy do we get lots of it. It’s very unpredictable as the skate park is located by the beach. Rain clouds tend to be blown over the area. It may be sunny one moment but before you know it, it starts to rain. But do not fret! It can rain buckets for hours on end, but once the last drop of rain hits the floor, give it 20-30 minutes and most of the park should have dried up!

The park is opened 24/7. Super hot in the day if it’s not raining yet cool and breezy at night. There are flood lights that turn on at  7pm, then switches to warm lights at 10pm and stays that way till 7am the next day. So if you’re a sunshine lover or a person of darkness, you can make your way down there to shred.

East Coast Skate Park is located at East Coast Park, Car Park F1

Bring your helmets and pads! Bring some wax! And you’re in for a great time. See you there and have great fun! ☮

WARNING : THIS IS AN EXTREME SKATE PARK. IT IS NOT A PLAYGROUND. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS THERE AND LET THEM PLAY AROUND. THEY MIGHT/WILL GET HIT BY A BMX BIKE, STRAY SKATEBOARD OR A ROLLERBLADER. AND IT WON’T BE OUR FAULT. THANK YOUR VERY MUCH!

In G4, we pride ourselves when it comes to our work and the experiences of our guests. Not to mention the most important two elements, safety and comfort. When any of our guests check in, my Team G4 will painstakingly yet professionally explain the Do’s and Dont’s in the premises.

We have 25 cameras on the walkways and 24-hours ground staff so you can really be assured of having a pleasant stay with us.

With that, I’d like to introduce to you our house rules in the hostel that either irks you or makes you feel safe

The House Rules

Checking in and out Timing

Our earliest check-in time is 1pm and the latest check out time is at 12pm. This is to ensure that your beds are always prim and proper (We need that time allowance)

Strictly No Smoking

Our G4 hostel is a no-smoking hostel. Smoking could be done in designated smoking areas.

We emphasis on being environmental friendly and ask of the guests to turn off the lights and air conditioning when they leave the room.

Room/ Dormitory Limitations

No food in the bedrooms, you don’t want any bed bugs or funny creepy crawlers to come do you? We have small little pantry areas for you to use.

You’re also not allowed to bring external guests up into the hostel. I think this is only fair and in case your friends will might cause any trouble.

Do Unto Others as You Would Have Them Do Unto You

No noise zone after 10pm, so others can sleep. Sanitizing of hands for our internet kiosk stations is a must so you’ll have a clean keyboard and mouse to use. (Of course our staff will still clean them on a daily basis, but doesn’t it feel better? )

Luggage and Personal Belongings

Though this is a safe hostel, with all cameras and locker cabinets, you’re still advised to keep important things with you. Things such as passports and cash yada yada (:

Our Team G4 Rights

We reserve the rights to invite you to leave our premises should you violate or cause disturbances to your fellow backpacker’s. We’re powerful (err, kinda)

Download a copy of our G4 Station’s House Rules

Recently a guest was being banned in G4 for not adhering to our house rules. Currently there are 4 banned from staying with us. Luckily for everyone, every guests that has stayed with us are pleasant!

Now holla me if you have any feedbacks or inputs in which could make any backpacker’s stay a better experience with G4 (:

Now that you’re keen on coming to Singapore, FOOD must be one key attraction that you must never, ever lose your emphasis on as Singapore is a multi-cultural country with high standards of many culinary dishes.

I’m not a good reviewer when it comes to food but these are the sites which I highly recommend that you could visit before hitting the Singapore shore so you could plan your food itinerary.

Singapore Food Blogs

Latest Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak Reviewed by ieatishootipost

I Eat I Shoot I Post – The number one site introduced to me by Selina. This ardent site shoots unbelievable food photos and describes the food reviewed down to its bones. Chilling but true, this blog covers most of Singapore hawker food and you JUST HAVE to visit it.

Lady Iron Chef – Brad, a photographer who specialises in food shots has been writing this food blog since March 2007. Great reviews of food joints in Singapore, he also has his ways with his food photos that somewhat makes me drool easily. (Of course he should ain’t it? Since he’s a photographer.. duh)

Justin introduces RISE in his J23KBlogs

J23KBlogs - Reviews of the latest hip food joint to visit coupled with great photo shots by Justin. (I’m starting to wonder if there’s any trend to this hmm)

Singapore Food Sites

HungryGoWhere – Another undisputed leader in online Singapore food ratings. Apparently spreading wings to other countries like Malaysia, Hong Kong and Australia.

InSing.com – I was surprised, but InSing is doing well even for its food review sections. Check this review site where the community is getting bigger and opinions are getting stronger for Singapore food.

Have you got any new sites to suggest to this list? Feel free to share with me so it could benefit everybody!

大家好！！！！我是Nicole，G4 senior part-timer.^0^

G4周年庆—Nicole

咳，千呼万唤下终于上载 了第一篇blog。这是关于Nicole的自我介绍，在G4工作将近两年之后，重新认识自己。哈哈，听起来有点怪怪的。：）

好吧，不用怀疑 的是，G4 staff里华文最好的就是偶啦，娃哈哈…..想当年风华正茂，书生意气，挥斥方遒，指点江山，激昂文字, 文科班出身的偶….三年前到新加坡后转学理了。现就读淡马锡理工学院，媒体与通讯专业。一年前成为新加坡永久居民。爸妈都在中国青岛忙生意，只有我孤 军奋战在新加坡。听起来有点sad? 不用担心，我有很多朋友，同学，生活很充实很开心哒！：p

说到兴趣，女孩子嘛当然是购物逛街啦！新加坡很 小，只是一个城市却挤得下超过250间购物中心，几乎各种名牌都能找的到，比如Topshop,  Forever 21, Dorothy Perkins…..有的国家没有，却在本地找得到很多分店。就这一点来说，在以后的blog中，我会跟大家分享更多购物的好去处，好买物！！^^

私 下会去看电影多过唱K,最近看得《Unmistaken Child 》和《The Karate Kid》都是很不错的电影，值得推荐哦。顺便说一句，新加坡的电影票其实算便宜的，比起上海人幸福多了哈~~像很多同龄人一样，宅在家里的时候也喜欢泡在校内网和facebook上和朋友聊天。

用中文写的blog希望可以为 中国以及其他讲中文的朋友带来方便。有什么询问千万别犹豫问我们，也可以要求用中文回复，一切以您方便为准。

恩…..有句话 说，有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎。在G4工作的同时，认识了很多来自世界各国的朋友，他们热情，乐观，幽默，开阔和对生活拥有无限的激情。正是这种多元文化和 向上精神融合并深入，形成了今天G4这个大家庭的内涵。从开始做工时偶尔会犯糊涂 blur,blur的，到现在驾轻就熟，跟G4一起成长，对我来说是件意义非凡的事。

Well, 希望有更多热爱生活，热爱旅游的朋友，来到新加坡，来到G4，来一起感 受这里的快乐！！

Nicole上。

Immerse in an array of festivities by the waterfront~

Incepted in 2007, The Singapore River Festival is known by many locals to be one of the largest sundown parties in the city area spanning two bustling weekends.

This year, the festival will take place from 25 June to 3 July. Located by the Singapore River, which is one of the city’s most prominent heritage spots, the festival will leave you spoilt for choice with an assortment of events taking place. From Empress Place and Boat Quay to Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay, the whole river will come alive with free nightly events and activities.

Mostly free of charge, they are specially created for merry-making locals and visitors to revel in. Events include the romantic bumboat parade, spectacular aerial shows, various music festivals and themed parties, all set across magnificent river views.

With celebrations that go well into the night, the Singapore River Festival is definitely an event to look forward to, whether you’re looking for an awesomely fun time in the city with newly-made friends or a moment to remember for your family scrapbook.

Here are some of the highlights not to be missed at the Singapore River Festival 2010.

This colourful bumboat parade will bring back nostalgic childhood memories of growing up along the Singapore River. Enjoy enthralling performances by the local award-winning dance company, Fireflys, which fuse elements of dance, music and fire, during the bumboat parade,. The special Fireflys’ performance will
