Sea creatures at the beach

My post for my world tuesday is about our beaches. Although Singapore is a shopping and food paradise, we too have beautiful nature around our little island too. You can view these beautiful natures in sea creatures blog, butterflies in Singapore, flowers in Singapore, and many more beautiful blogs with beautiful places of Singapore.

These rocks can be slippery so we need to be careful when we step on top of them. There are many little sea creatures hidden in these rocks.

On closer look, we found many snails in them.

There is this huge sea shell that I picked and gave to my little niece for her sea shell collection but my nephew pointed that someone lives in the shell....lol

Just to keep you all in suspense, you need to return to find out who lived in there...lol

Having fun at the beach

I love taking a stroll along the beach. This beach is just next to the Safra Bungalow Resort.

I now proclaimed this part of the beach to belongs to Alice....hehehe

Helping my little niece collecting these little sea shells.

We came across several such holes on the beach. I wondered who lives there. For more photos of the sea creatures, please visit tomorrow.

Christmas Fair 2008 at Compass Point

It is the time of the year again where we get to see many colourful and shinning lights and christmas decorations. I simply love this time of the year.

I took these photos of the christmas fair from the top floor of Compass Point Shopping Mall.

More more on christmas fair, hurry to Karen of A Scrapbook of Inspiration for more christmas joy and fun.

Skywatch-Lightning

It is the end of the year where it is raining season again. I took these photos last week, it was scary to stand near the window when the lightning was strucking, I was afraid my camera would attract the lightning.

From a very dark black night to........

A stunning purple sky

Look on the left side where you could see the faint lightning which turn the dark black night to a purple sky......beautiful but scary when the thunder started to roar.

Safra Bungalow Resort - (Part 7 Walking, Jogging and Cycling Track)

This is a walking, jogging and cycling track just behind the bungalow resort.
The track is part of the connector. One part of the path is for people walking, jogging and running while the other part is for cycling and skating.

Just to show you how big the painted foot looked as compared with my seven year old niece.

By 2015, National Parks hopes to construct 200km of park connectors - to date, half of that has been built. More will be added beyond 2015. National Parks' eventual goal is to create a connector network linking up the whole of Singapore. We could cycle from changi to east coast, etc.

Map taken from National Park website.

Isn't this wonderful, to have friends cycling and skating side by side.

A short video showing how popular the connector is with both local and foreigners.

Chilli Crab

After reading Photocache's crab season, I decided to post Singapore famous signature dish, the chilli crab- yummy.

Singapore is a shopping and food paradise, you can find yummy delicious and affordable food in this little island.

I would really recommend you to try the chilli crab, it is not spicy despite the word "Chilli". Now I think many would hate me for posting this photo, it makes them drools....hehehe.

Eldest Son's 21st Birthday Party at Resort

One of the reason we decided to rent the bungalow was to celebrate my eldest son's 21st birthday party.


So sweet of my sisters, brother and brothers in law in helping me decorate the hall with banners and balloons. Did you noticed the extra 'P' missing from the word Happy....lol.

You could view the buffet food in my food blog.

Safra Bungalow Resort (Part 6-BBQ)

BBQ is a must when staying over at the resort. Good thing, it wasn't raining. We had BBQ over three days....lol. For more photos of the BBQ food, you can pop over to my food blog.

Safra Bungalow Resort (Part 5-Facilities)

When getting bored in the bungalow, we could choose to use the karaoke, games arcade or even bowling.

Of course we need to pay to use these facilities. And the teenagers had fun playing at the bowling alley.

Children could play in the playground.

There's even a basketball court behind this bicycle kiosk. These bicycles are for rental.

For country club members and guests could go golfing too. The golf course is just next to the bungalows.

Facilities are only for members and guests. But I think public can use the swimming pool and eat at The Deck (Coffee House) and Jumbo Seafood Restaurant.

Safra Bungalow Resort (Part 4-Skywatch-Aeroplanes)

Our stay at the bungalow was fun and enjoyable. The only complaint was that the resort was so near to our busy changi airport that every now and then we could see aeroplanes about to land and depart. The noises from the planes could be irritating too but sometimes we were enjoying ourselves so much that we took no notice of the planes and the noises....lol.
The kids were so fascinated by the huge commercial planes that they started to identify the different airlines. It is not everyday that they get to see the planes so up close and so many of them too.

A very short video of a plane coming to land at the airport runway. The ships could be seen in the sea too. So a little island called Singapore is so busy with all these planes and ships to make it a wealthy island. So we shouldn't complain at all if we want good economy for our country. :)

Safra Bungalow Resort (Part 3- Swimming Pool)

The resort comes with nice swimming pools for both adults and children.
The newly renovated swimming pool with jacuzzi facilities.
Took this photo of the swimming pool in the early morning when the pool was closed to swimmers.

This is my little niece (seven years old) swimming in the children pool.

Safra Bungalow Resort (Part 2-Inside the bungalow)

The resort had recently undergo a major renovation. They listen to feedback and make the bungalow resort more cozy for holiday makers.

They changed the entire furniture with brand new sofa and even the TV and DVD players are new.

The dining area .

The newly renovated open concept kitchen. They comes with fridge, freezer, microwave and now they allowed holiday makers to cook on the electric stove.

Even the BBQ pit is newly built to allow us to BBQ on one side while the other end of the pit allowed us to put our food. They are even thoughtful to add a tap/basin near the BBQ pit. I like this new arrangement.

Upstairs are two bedroom with two twin beds each.

I enjoyed and like the new bungalow concept, it made our stay in the resort very cozy and happy.

Beach near Safra Bungalow Resort at Changi Coast

Today is My World Tuesday, so I will show you the sea that is near the resort at Changi Coast. I will continue with posting photos of the resort tomorrow.


From the beach, we could view so many cargo ships in the middle of the sea. It may not be a pretty beach/sea but plenty of ships passing our little country meant a lot to our economy. We used to be the busiest port in the world but that title has since gone to Shanghai. For more info. click here.

A short video showing you the many ships anchoring at our sea.

Safra Bungalow Resort (Part 1)

I am back from the weekend holidaying in a corner of Singapore. We rented a two storey bungalow resort in Changi Coast quite near to the Changi Airport. Spend about four days there. And no we cant find quiet time in here because the entire family and friends will be there making lots of noises partying (my eldest son's 21st birthday party) and BBQ and the nearby changi airport with the frequent aeroplanes flying in and out of the airport can be very loud.....lol. (Will talked about those huge planes at later posts).

These are how the bungalows looked like.

This side gate allows us to walk to the nearby beach where I am standing now.

You have to return to visit my later posts to see how the bungalow looked like. :)

Mini Park

I am going away again over the weekend but I dont need a passport with me...lol. Will only be in a corner of Singapore , far from the city life , just to relax (hopefully) in a beautiful resort.


This is a mini park beside my brother's flat. It can be used for multiple purposes. The mini park itself had a amphitheatre, fitness corner, children playground, jogging path, BBQ facilities, etc.

The big green field can be used for playing soccer or holding any activities. In these photos, you could see the workers putting up scaffolding for a chinese festival. The bigger rectangle platform is for prayers and dining areas while the small squarish platform will be for chinese concert.

Below are two short video showing the activities in the park.

Take a closer look in the mini park, you could see people jogging and exercising.
