Jurong Gardens

One look at the spiral stairs of the Chinese Garden in VisitSingapore (btw, a top tip in checking out countries you visit in Instagram) and I was sold. Located all the way to the west side of Singapore, I could understand why some would put it off in their agendas. But I was determined to see it for myself on my first day, with or without company. Luckily, through a random chat and a casual mention of the place, I found out that John (a friend of mine/ SG resident now for 2 years) hasn’t been and was willing to test out his new camera. ;) I was secretly happy to dress (and hat up) more than necessary. Hihihi. *wink*

Sometimes it’s one of those super random and unplanned activities that bring out the best moments no? John and I had a pleasant stroll for two-hours through the beautifully manicured gardens in that cloudy afternoon. Some of its details are just too pretty like one of the pathways in the 4th picture below. Oh and did I mention it was fun trying to imitate the “follow me to”concept? Haha. It was indeed the perfect day to spend the Labor day holiday. The Jurong Gardens, however far from the city, certainly lives up to its blurb – a perfect respite from the bustle of the city.

Mad Hatter in SG

Was back in Singapore last week for a stopover to the "ultimate beach trip of the year". *wink wink*  Blog post soon. It's official!!! I "theme" in my travels and for this particular trip, it's the hats. It's been pretty much established that aside from shoes, I hoard hats too. :P

Admittedly, albeit embarrassingly, I did a lot of gym trips in SG. (Hello, Indian ocean?!?! Lol!) But I made sure to check out some of their tourist spots that I haven't visited even in my umpteenth time like Haji Lane (which I was only able to check out at night time last January), Art and Science museum that has always piqued my curiosity with that interesting lotus flower architecture at Marina Bay Sands (and has a lot of amazing stuff too!!!) and Chinese Garden which is so faaaar away at Jurong East. Lol! I will have a separate post about it too.

Sadly, I was not able to cross off all the food item in my checklist as I missed the Ban Mian noodle, haha! But it was over-all fulfilling for a side trip in Maldives. :) Watch out for the new posts!!! :) :) :)
