Visit to the Land of Lion-Singapore (OCT 2018/2019)

February 16, 2021

Hey reader,

I'm back with another travel blog to the neighbouring country Singapore! Speaking of Singapore, despite it being to close to Malaysia, I have only been there thrice. First visit was when I was 12 years old and I don't think Universal Studio Singapore even existed. Second time in Oct 2018 and my last visit was in Oct 2019.

So this blog would be my trip in Oct 2018 and 2019, combining two trips this time since the places I went were quite similar (I went with different travel partner though). Some people asked me why would I travel to one place over and over again. Well to me, as long as you are able to find new things to enjoy during the trip, why not? Plus, you get to experience different things when you travel with different people (family, friends, solo, couple etc) they all will give you travel experience which definitely will not be the same even if you went to the same places. That is how I enjoy traveling so much.

The trip in 2018 was with my sister. That was her first flight experience wakaka and I want to say thank you to our dear yiyi in Singapore who offered us to stay in her house, showed us around and "belanja" us a lot of nice food which I probably would have a hard time to afford for both me and my sister.

I went again in 2019 with kareshi to celebrate kareshi's birthday hehe~ We got to stay in Royal Plaza on Scotts Hotel and it was pretty cool~

For this post, I guess I will not type much, let the pictures speak hehe~

Marina Bay Sands

Grateful for the good weather during the visit

I personally love the Helix Bridge very much. Maybe cuz it's science related which I really appreciate

Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay

THE Durian

Spectra @ Marina Bay Sands

Pretty cool light and music show

Gardens by the Bay

It was already so beautiful from far

The light show here was really cool but it was soooo crowded. Luckily we got ourselves a nice spot

Le sister being so focus on the light show

S.E.A Aquarium

I went to the Singapore aquarium when I was 12. Not sure if this is the same aquarium just with the name changed? The underwater tunnel seems the same though but my memory is not helping much haha.

Hammerhead shark model made from rubbish from the ocean (if I remember correctly)

This huge tank is as magnificent as the ones in Osaka and Okinawa. Just that those two had whale shark in them

Dolphins!

Chinatown

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum

This is the first time I have been to this temple. Do take note no shorts or skirts allowed inside (fortunately I wore a long skirt during my visit if not have to wear sarong).
