Singapore Botanic Garden

Been a long time since I last visited the Botanic Garden. But this time is different cause the Botanic Garden was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

Was here with my siblings and we had great time taking photos and strolling in the garden.

Great to see the white swans again but could not find the lone black swan that we saw the last time.

 Was surprised to see several huge catfish in the pond. Dont remember seeing such huge catfish during our last visit. Will post the video of the huge catfish.



 

The famous tembusu tree (it was featured in our S$5 note).

Beautiful garden, nice to have picnic here too. Look out for several beautiful sculptures around the garden. Can view my previous post for other sculptures too.

The sundial in the sundial garden is very meaningful to me and my siblings. When we were toddlers, my parents took photo of us at this very same spot. After 50 years, we positioned outselves exactly as when we took the photo 50 years ago. It was really beautiful and brought back fond memories. Did not post the photo here due to privacy.

The bandstand was favourite with wedding photos, I took my wedding photo here too.

Lots of squirrels in the garden, I managed to take a good photo of one of them.

Spotted two very huge monitor lizard at the Tembusu Tree and a smaller one at one of the tree. Will post the video of the two huge lizards.

There's a National Orchid Garden at the Botanic Garden, I am not going to post here cause there's simply too many beautiful flowers here but you can view my previous post on the flowers in Botanic Garden.

Safra Punggol and Punggol Waterway Singapore

Decided to visit Safra Punggol that was opened recently. Took the Light Rail Train from Punggol MRT Station. At the platform on the right from the escalator but look for the light to indicate "WEST" before boarding the train (cause there's a East and West line for the train) and alight at Sam Kee LRT Station.

Sam Kee LRT Station is only one station away from Punggol Station. Easily able to spot Safra from the train.

A short walk to Safra Building from Sam Kee LRT Station.

I fall in love with the place, near the building was the Punggol Waterway, nice cozy place to jog, stroll, cycle, etc

Bicycles are available for rental at Safra.

The splash pool was a favourite with the kids, need admission fee to enter. For the informaton on the admission fee, please visit thewebsite.

Lots of restaurants, fast food restaurants, available in the building and there is also a bowling centre on the top floor for lovers of bowling.

Christmas Decoration at Plaza Singapura

Saw this huge teddy bear Christmas Decorations at Plaza Singapura. Was a nice backdrop for group photo.

Christmas Decoration at The Centrepoint, Singapore

The Centrepoint's enchanting Christmas Clockwork Kitchen with Gingerbread men aplenty, cookies, candy canes and a giant fondue. I love the christmas decoration especially the cute gingerbread men.

No wonder The Centrepoint emerged as the favourite among voters for its larger-than-life kitchen manned by gingerbread men.
