Travels | I ❤ Singapore

September 30, 2012

Last year my mom and I attended a 3-day conference in Singapore (IDMC 2011 – “Cultivating Your Inner Life” by Pastor Edmund Chan) Since it was our first time to travel to Singapore we decided to book our flight a few days ahead of the conference date (so we’ll have time to go around hehehe). We stayed at Royal@Queens Hotel – within walking distance from our hotel are the following: Singapore Management University (SMU), Esplanade Theatres by the Bay, Suntec City Convention Hall, Raffles Hotel, Raffles Shopping Centre, Bugis Village etc. etc. etc.

During the first few days my brother & his girlfriend tagged along with me and my mom. Since they’re both architects our itinerary was full of buildings and other architectural sites to visit.

On our first day we walked going to Raffles Hotel – Suntec City – Singapore Flyer – Esplanade – Marina Bay… Yes, we got so carried away we didn’t even notice that we’ve walked all the way to MARINA BAY. Seriously, WE WALKED! hahaha! Oh, thank God for Tiger Balm!

Since our feet hurt from all the walking we decided to take the SMRT back to our hotel – this was also our first ever SMRT ride hahaha! Thank God for maps! lol. I will never forget my SMRT experience… how I wish the LRT & MRT stations here in Manila are similar to that of Singapore’s.

The station closest to our hotel is Bras Basah station – my favorite station I just love how the SMRT person says “BRAS BASAH” heheheh… funny and unforgettable.

Anyhoo, check out the photos I took of our amazing Singapore vacation. 🙂 I’m looking forward to my next visit to Singapore. Hopefully next time I’ll get to explore Sentosa! 🙂
