As part of my global meet-up project, I went to Singapore
and met a handful of good friends.
Every day was exciting, as I see each of my friends who I haven’t seen
for at least a year! And I was so
happy to meet my travel friends in Singapore: Dene and Gene! As expected, the day I allotted to them
was the one most filled with activities.
When it comes to traveling, these guys never disappoint. :)
I have created a video about this trip. But I decided to still give a rundown
of activities in that one day I spent with my travel mates. Singapore is small in that you can
probably visit all the tourist spots in a few days. I wasn’t able to do this, but for a day with IFW, I was able
to:
- Go to Vivo City for breakfast.
- Go around Sentosa: take a Skyride, walk along Siloso beach and others, visit the lowest point in continental Asia
- Go to Orchard road to dine with a few more friends from college, walk along the road and shop
- Go to Chinatown to visit 2 temples: (a) Buddha Tooth Relic and Museum, and (b) Sri Mariamman Temple
- Go to Little India, shop for chocolates at Mustafa
- Go to Marina Bay Sands and pass the Helix Bridge
- Dine in at Chijmes (even watched 2 sets of the Men’s Wimbledon Finals at the restaurant)
This gives an idea of how much you can do in a day, as long as you’re willing to move.
Parting with Dene and Gene was a little sad, we’re not sure when we will meet again, more so, when our travel group will be complete for a trip! Until the next meet up my friends!

P.S. Shameless promotion!

‘project,’ check out my personal blog: The Journeying Engineer. Singapore travel video is embedded
there as well.
