Have you already read the book by Mr. Kevin Kwan called Crazy Rich Asians? If you haven’t yet, I suggest that you do so. No, this ain’t a book review. But my trip to Singapore, on the year 2016, made me enjoy the books more, as the setting of the first book of that Trilogy was mostly in this exciting country! Book 2 is called China Rich Girlfriend and the last one is named Rich People Problems.
On my way to the airport…



It was a rainy night when I travelled to SG. Got there late, so we had to sleep that night off. We had so many plans on the next days ahead. So, recharging our energies was a must.
One Of The Best Transport Systems



Let me start by saying that SG has one of the best transport systems in Asia. So, going around will not be an issue. You just need a map on your phone, and in my case a companion who has already been around the country.
Singapore Zoo



First up, was the Singapore Zoo where the River Safari is at. Unfortunately, the boat-ride was not available at that time. And I already forgot why.



It’s a Wildlife Conservation Park, and so it does have a really huge aquarium where you can view from underground.



I loved taking photos with the panda statues because I look like them! I was chubby during that time and my black and white ensemble makes me look like their baby panda. And yes, they have real live pandas that you can watch and take photos of.
Marina Bay Sands Area



We ended our first night at the Marina Bay Sands area. They have a Water Show by the bay. I don’t have photos of it anymore. But it was amazing and fun to watch with everyone around.
Singapore Botanic Gardens



We’ve decided to spend the next day at Singapore Botanic Gardens. It’s a huge amusement-park like area. There are so many areas to go to. And yes, you have to walk a lot. Some areas are uphill and yes, you’ll get tired. But the pathways are so beautiful that you will enjoy walking nonetheless.



Yes, you have to take a break and take a seat whenever you see a bench around. Or when you find something that will serve the purpose.



They have a lot of enchanting towering trees! Which I love the most. Warning, it’s quite humid so you’ll get thirsty. And in this case, I chose to have a popsicle! Bottled water and ice cream are not cheap in SG. Nothing is cheap there, really.



No, this is not our entrance. This is our exit gate. SBG has 4 gates as its entrance/exit. It is that big! If I still remember correctly, we got in at Tyersall Gate.
Haji Lane



After lunch, we went straight to Haji Lane! To have a go at Selfie Coffee! So they took our photo and printed it on top of the foam of our coffee serving. Yes, that’s edible! It is such a colorful commercial strip where food trips and shopping happen.
Arab Street



More walking means passing through Arab Street! SG may be a small city or country, but it has diversified cultures around it.
From the soccer field view…



We had to go around the soccer field, looking for an ice-cream sandwich vendor but we, unfortunately, found none. So the photo ops instead.
Singapore Landmarks



And more photo ops at the famous landmarks of Singapore ended our night.
Orchard Road and Clarke Quay



On the third day, we strolled along the Orchard Road where expensive stuff of all brands abound, and Clarke Quay. In short, we went malling. Not necessarily shopping, okay?
Gardens By The Bay



And some more gardens! Singapore is a beautiful, clean and green city! They have a lot of gardens everywhere plus of course the famous Gardens By The Bay. These Supertrees have entertaining light shows at night, but we were already too tired to wait for it.
Universal Studios Singapore



Next and final on the list, but never the least, is Universal Studios Singapore! The kid in me went giddyap!



I’ve enjoyed all of the structures in USS.
And my favorite rides were:
1. Revenge Of The Mummy
2. Transformers The Ride 3D
3. Puss In Boots Giant Journey
4. Human Battle Star Galactica



I wonder why the Iced Milo in Singapore is super good compared to the ones that we have in the Philippines. They say, Malaysia has better tasting Milo than us. And Malaysia mostly exports to SG. So maybe, I’ve answered my own question.



I still want to go back for the Cyclon Battle Star Galactica because we already ran out of time then. The queues were very long! Just like my Decade-Old Trip to Hong Kong where I’ve missed most of the rides in Disneyland because we woke up late and did not have enough time to fall in line.
Holland Village



And our last stop for the night, was at Holland Village. It’s a commercial strip of food and booze places. We’ve decided to try Thai Express! Forgive me if I am short of food photos. I cannot cram everything in this post. But I guarantee you, my food trips were all worth-it in Singapore.
Madagascar in USS and Rasapura Masters in Marina Bay Sands



The only photos that I can add before I go.
Singapore Changi Airport



I should never ever forget to add that they have one of the best airports in the world! ‘Til next time SG!
How about you? How crazy did you get in Singapore?












A wonderful way to experience this city with joy and color. I love your story.
Thank you very much!
Oh man looks like you had so much fun. I miss traveling so much, hopefully I’ll be able to do it again soon. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
I would love to visit the aquarium and the zoo as I’m such an animal lover! This is a great post, so thank you
i like the title you used crazy not yet rich !! story of our lives !!!! looks like you had a memorable experience.
Haha! I don’t want to say not rich. I used not-yet, because the dream is to get there. 🖤
you will definitely get there 🙂
Looks like you had an awesome time! We loved Universal too, more so than even Disney. Our favorites were Transformers and Harry Potter.
I’m a Potterhead! There is no Harry Potter in SG. There is one in Japan. Which I haven’t been to.
I’ve never read that book or even have seen the movie. I Am wanted to see it for so long. Singapore is one of my dream places to go. And it seems like you had a great time back then. I hope you can repeat this memories and I hope I can make new ones over there.
I hope you can read the book. Start with the 1st one, and you’ll definitely look for the 2nd and 3rd! 🖤
What a fun zoo. I love that it has pandas as they are so cute
Singapore is one of those must-visit places in my mind. Your trip looked like a blast! Every single thing you did looks like something I would want to do there.
SG is worth a visit. A pleasant experience.
Those pictures are all so beautiful. I especially love the huge tree roots in the Botanical Garden. And the peacock at the end.
I have been wanting to go to Singapore forever. You definitely made me move it up my list as quickly as possible. Wonderful Photographs
Thanks a lot! 🖤 I even wanna go back!

My sister and brother in law live in SG. I’ve always wanted to go and your blog has reinforced that! I hope we’ll be able to travel next year because this is my first port of call!
I also love Singapore. The whole place looks like a rendered scene in Sketcup – that’s my first impression. The only thing I dont like about SG is it’s very humid like the PH. Init kaayo baktas… XD
Laughed with the title haha so witty yet so cute shots. Love it!
Thank you! Glad I made you laugh! 🖤
After reading your post, I am most tempted to go to Singapore. Looks like you had a lot of fun there. I would love to go to Singapore Zoo and the landmarks.
I did read the book Crazy Rich Asians and it did make me want to visit. It’s such an interesting city!
You should! It’s fun! The book also makes me want to go to Australia because it said that they have the best flat white!
