Do you know how many islands there are in Singapore? How many have you travelled to?
Other than the main island of Singapore, I went “over (the) seas” and visited five different islands in the month of August. Among the three islands pictured, one has a nice marina with Sydney vibes (Sentosa), another has sand that’s as fine as what you can find in Bintan (Lazarus Island), and one has a boardwalk along turquoise waters that can only be reminiscent of what you see in Thailand (Pulau Ubin).

I have started planning little tours for my friends and family. I would choose an area of interest and get a map of the historical buildings/sites from roots.sg, supplement the information with additional research (e.g., the backgrounds of different architectural styles, like Art Deco and Gothic, to tie it to certain points in history) and organise little walks around these sites.
Most recently, I organised one around the city area, covering the former Hong Wen School, Chijmes and the Abdul Gafoor Mosque. Walking around Tiong Bahru was fun too – who knew there was a well-known bird corner! The common use of the bird motif around Tiong Bahru suddenly made sense. I discovering Hua Bee, where the movie Mee Pok Man was filmed, and where butter kopi is still served. My next stop for exploration: Balestier.
