Singapore – Little India

Took a stroll one evening down Little India. Passed by many times always in a vehicle and hardly ever walk there. Guess the thought of the crowd deter me. Decided the best time was to go after work on a weekday where may be possibly be less people. Took the train to Tekka and walked…

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point One of the great thing about Changi Bay Point is that not only is there great scenery – there are also many butterflies and birds. I think Nparks have done a great job of doing up the place although a big chunk of the wild between it and Changi Coastal…

Singapore – Changi Bay Point

Back in 2022, Nparks opened up a new scenic walk to the east of Singapore. That period was still in the tail end of Covid and overseas travel was still not allowed. As such when Changi Bay Point was opened – travel starved people went all the way to the East just to bake in…

Singapore – Garden by the Bay

Been some time since I visited the Garden by the Bay. Since recently many places in the world was getting the Aurora Borealis, co-incidental or not, the Garden by the Bay launched Borealis, a new immersive light and sound installation at the Supertree Grove. So like thousand other minions who are too poor to fly to other countries to view the Northern Lights, we dutifully make our way down to Garden by the Bay for what we hope would be a mini Northern Lights.

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Extension

When the Nparks announced the opening of the extension, I was fairly excited. So one afternoon I went there only to discover that it was the former Kranji Trail which I had visited before and which sadly is now “sanitised to become the new Sungei Buloh Extension. The former nice trail has been partially replaced…

The Quest for the Merlion

Everybody know the national emblem of Singapore is not the Lion but the mutant Merlion, a product of cross mating between a lion and a giant fish. Legend has it that the Merlion was caught in the sea somewhere off the Esplanade and so the wise gahmen decided to build a statue of it there…

MacRitchie Reservoir

I go to MacRitchie Reservoir pretty often. Most times to run. Very rarely for any other things. During a run, it is pretty difficult to spot anything except maybe the monkeys or occasional monitor lizards. Some people have spotted snakes but while I seen them, this was not during a run but a hike. Recently I…

River Safari & Amazon River Quest

Went back to the River Safari. Last visit was slightly over 6 months ago and the “boat ride” had not started then. To get to the boat ride, there is an extra $5.00 on top of the entrance fee. But frankly was a bit disappointed with the ride though. The ride was the sort of…

Our Great Nature

Another post on the great nature. This is a video I took on one of my walkabout. https://www.youtube.com/v/akfUESCYSRc?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata Walking along the bank and looking at the far bank, this looks like some exotic jungle in South America or the Borneo jungle. But of course it is not. It is just a place that is not…

Gardens by the Bay

Finally I managed to drop in both the Conservatories at Garden by the Bay. I have bee to the Flower Dome previously but not the Cloud Forest. These are the highlights of the Garden by the Bay in addition to the Supertrees. Since it was the last day of the Tulip flower shows, I decided…
