To burn off the calories, we drove to nearby Southern Ridges and decided to embark on part of the trail – from Telok Blangah Hill to Alexandra Arch.

Orchard Hotel was the second hotel I stayed during my 3D2N staycation in Singapore. The experience was very different as compared to Goodwood Park Hotel which is also located within the same vicinity.

I’ll continue from where I left off, which was Day 2 when I spent an afternoon at Osaka Castle. For better continuity, you may want to check what we did earlier in the day: Day 2
I’m hardly a fan of museums and often get bored quickly, but was totally enthralled by the National Museum of Singapore when I revisited it in 2020. It is one of the best museums I’ve been to, and I said that not because I’m a Singaporean. This oldest museum in Singapore was well organised such that Singapore’s history was shared
I have no more excuses to delay my visit to Sembawang Hot Spring Park because I have run out of places to go! And I can’t travel out of Singapore right now, all thanks to Covid-19. Anyway, I don’t mean to make this relatively new attraction in Singapore sound like a place that isn’t worth your time. It’s just that
