Uniquely Singapore!


If you like us, when we only have a short time somewhere, you probably wanted to visit as much places as you can. That’s what we did when we went to Singapore for a night trip.


One of my friend said that the park in front of Marina Bay Sands is something that we shouldn't miss if we are there on Saturday night. The cool breeze welcomed us once we reached the river side park.
When we were walking around the park while mesmerized with the Marina Bay Sands structure, my wife spotted the river side cruise counter. And off we went to the waterfront, to find the tickets.


We had a little time look around while we waited for the tour boat to return to dock. This was a really intriguing area with colouful laser show, live bands and plenty of branded shops.


After we departed, we sailed upriver to Fullerton Hotel. It is a five star luxury hotel and is s grand it’s impossible to miss. *sigh* This is the type of hotel I would like to stay in. Sure someday.


Next, we saw the Esplanade - Theatres on the bay. During in daylight, we can see the structure of the building clearly. It is actually a glass building with aluminum shades.  Not for us, when we saw it in the night, we say it looks like the fruit that Malaysians love and hated by foreigners -  Durian!


Then, we cruised to Merlion Park - the Singapore’s mascot and icon. A place that you must go when visits Singapore.


I was quite surprised because I couldn’t find even small rubbish in the river. The river was well preserved. The old ware houses were repurposed to be a business center with large restaurants and night clubs. I admired the way they transformed a smelly river side to and business and entertainment hub.



#Note to myself: Must. Come. Back!
