Singapore 2019: [Part 6 ] ArtScience Museum

Arts Science Museum! One of my must-go places for this trip because of the TeamLab exhibit. Gotta have that IG worthy photos. How technology combined with art really interests me too. Noted on the ticketing counters was that there were sections of TeamLab Future World that were under maintenance hence, an adjustment in ticket price. Transcending Boundaries First exhibit and I immediately recognized this from … Continue reading Singapore 2019: [Part 6 ] ArtScience Museum

Singapore 2019: [Part 5] Downtown – National Library, Bugis stop, Merlion, and Church

Headed toward the city downtown to the National Library to pick up my cousin from a spoken word poetry contest (she won!). The architecture at The Pod, the events area on the top floor, is kinda cool with the rounded glass walls/windows. Went to a mall in Bugis for a short break at Starbucks and a little window shopping. [Read Starbucks review here]. Too bad … Continue reading Singapore 2019: [Part 5] Downtown – National Library, Bugis stop, Merlion, and Church

Singapore 2019: [Part 4] Flower Dome and Cloud Forest

And we’re back at the Gardens the Bay Complex on Day 2 morning. The Flower Dome and Cloud Forest were must-go places for me. It wasn’t open yet when I visited Singapore for the first time a few years ago. That’s why I chose this over Universal Studios which I already visited then. Though still, I am a theme park kind of tourist and wouldn’t … Continue reading Singapore 2019: [Part 4] Flower Dome and Cloud Forest

Singapore 2019: [Part 3 ] Garden Rhapsody – Gardens By the Bay Light Show

Running to the Supertrees!!! …and we just ate at Satay by the Bay… *please don’t run after eating Insider tip: we watched not on the “ground level” but on a semi secret ledge where only a handful of people were watching. Instead of going down the stairs, we turned right, walked a bit, then left towards the plants, then voila! A ledge with a view … Continue reading Singapore 2019: [Part 3 ] Garden Rhapsody – Gardens By the Bay Light Show

Singapore 2019: Satay by the Bay – dinner and lunch

Satay by the Bay – Day 1 Dinner Tourist attractions are clustered together in the downtown area.

Aside from skewered meat, there are a lot of cuisines available – Indian, Malay, Singaporean, Chinese. Food options range from seafood, barbecue, snacks, … Continue reading Singapore 2019: Satay by the Bay – dinner and lunch

Singapore 2019: [Part 2] Around Marina Bay

Bayfront MRT Station is connected directly to an entrance of The Shoppes at Marina Bay. To my right was a Casino entrance with a faint wiff of smoke scented interiors. Up ahead was an indoor water canal inspired by Venice, lined with upscale fashion brands on both sides. Chinese style boats reminiscent of gondolas were available if you wanted to have a short ride. Oh, … Continue reading Singapore 2019: [Part 2] Around Marina Bay

Singapore 2019: R & B Tea

Lined up at R&B Tea while deciding on what to order. Ended up choosing one labeled as a best seller – Brown Sugar Boba Milk. This craze hit home a few months back with every new store putting up brown sugar milk tea on the headline of their menu, and almost every existing milk tea shop coming up with their own version. In between all … Continue reading Singapore 2019: R & B Tea

Singapore 2019: [Part 1] Solo flight SG bound

Pouring rain can’t stop my solo flight to Singapore! This trip was kinda planned but kinda not. I’ve been meaning to visit SG since last year but didn’t have a chance. When I found a seat sale at a travel fair a few months ago, booked a flight and planned for a weekend trip. With the opening of Jewel at Changi, I guess the timing … Continue reading Singapore 2019: [Part 1] Solo flight SG bound

Japan 2018: In-Flight Meal HND to MNL

Flying PAL on our way home, I was looking forward to my in-flight meal. I was quite hungry already, since we didn’t have a full meal at the airport. Fish or Pork? This time I got the Pinoy inspired dish for fish. Unfortunately I forgot what it was called. It was regular cream dory, with a light sauce. Flavors were still better than microwaved convenience … Continue reading Japan 2018: In-Flight Meal HND to MNL
