Skyline Luge Sentosa: New Luge Tracks and Skyline Ride

We stayed in Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa. It is walking distance to our favourite spot – the Skyline Luge, situated on the Imbiah Lookout cluster. We first rode on the Luge and Skyride at Sentosa Singapore back in 2010 when Ethan was 3 years old. Back […]

Singapore River Night Cruise
During our recent trip to Singapore, we took the opportunity to bring the boys for the Singapore River Night Cruise. Ethan has been on this cruise before but it was the Day Cruise. This is the boys’ first time on a night cruise. It wasn’t in our plan to go for the cruise actually but as we were taking a leisurely stroll, the boys saw the boat and requested to ride on it. Singapore River […]

S.E.A Aquarium, Sentosa Singapore
We’ve been to Singapore numerous times but have never been to their S.E.A Aquarium until last week. Our priority is always Universal Studio Singapore first and often by the time we are done with USS, we won’t have time for the aquarium anymore. We almost missed the aquarium again last weekend as we went to USS again as usual but this time we made sure to leave a couple of hours earlier so we can […]

Chinese New Year Decorations @ Changi Airport, Singapore
We went to the airport early the other day so we had a lot of time to kill before boarding. We were at T2 @ Changi Airport and there are many cute monkeys to welcome the Lunar New Year. These monkeys are so cute and cheerful. Ayden kept asking me how come these monkeys eat PAU and not bananas. Darling told him those are not pau but peach. Is it? I thought those are birthday […]

Driving Into Singapore
Hello! We just got back from a fun-filled 4D/3N holiday in Johor and Singapore. We stayed at Pulai Springs Resort the entire time and drove to Singapore on our third day and return to Johor on the same day. We were nervous initially as we have always flown into Singapore, never once took the bus or train what more driving in but we decided to conquer our fear and try it. The only reason of us […]

The MUST drink in Singapore
Singapore has a tropical climate so the island is warm and humid throughout the year. The average temperature is around 31oC so it’s important to drink enough water to keep you hydrated. What happens if you run out of drinking water? Fret not as you can always do this: Just a short update since most of us are still in holiday mood ^_^

Virgin Rollercoaster Ride @ Universal Studio Singapore
We went to Universal Studio Singapore again (read about our FIRST trip there two years ago here) and this time we enjoyed more as Ethan can ride most of the thrill rides compared to when he was 3 years old. Reunited with the cute Puss In Boots <3 This trip also marks the very first time Ethan rode on a rollercoaster! I was hesitant initially but he insisted that he is big enough for all […]

Feeding giraffes at Singapore Zoo
During our recent Singapore trip, we went to the Singapore Zoo on Day 2 for the much anticipated elephant ride. Never did it occurred to me that Ethan will end up feeding giraffes as well! We saw people feeding giraffes for a fee of $5. Ethan was curious and wanted to feed them too! >_< It scares the heck out of me seeing that super tall creature with their heads hovering above Ethan. But that […]

Christmas at Orchard Road, Singapore
Ever since I was young it has always been my dream to go to Singapore in December to soak in the Christmas celebration. People have always told me how beautiful Orchard Road is in December with the lights fully lit up beautifully. This year, my dream came true as Darling booked the hotel right smack in Orchard Road for our Singapore trip this time around. We stayed in Mandarin Orchard, that links to Mandarin Gallery […]

Elephant Ride, Singapore Zoo
The last time we were in Singapore 2 years ago, we went to the Night Safari. We got to see animals in the dark but we never get to experience the beauty of Singapore Zoo as it was too dark. This time around, we visited the Zoo during the day and I must say that I’m pretty impressed with Singapore Zoo. None of the animals (especially monkeys and orang utans) are in a cage! They all have their own nice […]

Mass Rapid Transit in Singapore
In Malaysia, I hardly or I can safely say that I never need to take any public transportation should I need to go anywhere. I’m blessed to have a full-time driver who drives me around :P In Singapore however, we had no choice but to take the public transport. On our first 2 days in Singapore, we were not bold enough to try the MRT. We went around by cab, but after being pestered by […]

Singapore River Cruise
When we visited Merlion Park, Ethan requested to ride on the River Cruise but we were in a rush to somewhere else that we had to decline his request. However in the evening, with slightly over 2 hours to go before boarding our flight, we made a quick dash for the Singapore River Cruise. Unfortunately for us, when we arrived Merlion Park we were told that there will be no boat available until at least […]

In the evening, we waited anxiously at the lobby of our hotel for the Fun Vee Hopper to take us to the Tourist Hub at the Singapore Flyer to validate our Night Safari ticket. After validating our tickets, they took us to the Night Safari… The Fun Vee Hopper that took us to the Night Safari and back […]
