"Welcome to Singapore", she said.

As we unbuckled our seat belts and patiently lined up to exit the plane, I held on to my dad's strong hands as I tried to hide the excitement building up inside me.
The travel from the airport to our hotel took more than thirty minutes but this ten-year-old girl didn't mind at all. I was carefully soaking in the beautiful scenery that I can see from outside. Everything was so clean and green... It was truly love at first sight.
Since then, I've always been in love with Singapore.
As the saying goes, "Big things come in small packages." This holds true for Singapore. Quite a small country in terms of land area but it sure has a LOT to offer when it comes to giving the best travel experience for its visitors.
It has been seventeen long years since my last visit to this lovely country that's a melting pot of different cultures and races. There has been a lot of changes and I'd love to go back, to experience them all and to fall in love with Singapore again and again...
...and this time, I'm bringing my beloved fiance with me. :)
Paul has never been to Singapore but has, in multiple occasions, expressed his desire to do so.
If given the chance to embark on a One-Day trip to Singapore, I will definitely make sure that I'll be ready with an action-packed itinerary wherein we'll be able to have a complete and one-of-a-kind experience of Singapore. This itinerary will allow us to learn more about it's rich culture and history, it will also lead us to see a number of beautiful scenery that will surely take our breath away, it will make me shop till I drop and lastly it will treat our taste buds to the dishes that has placed Singapore at the center of every foodie's heart.
This itinerary is a mix of my old favorite spots that I would like to share with Paul and a couple of new ones that I would like for us to experience together.


1030AM: We're off to Orchard Road for our next stop. It's time to shop, shop and shop!!! As a child, this has been my favorite road as we would all shop till we literally drop. The entire street is lined up with malls giving you the chance to buy almost everything that your heart desires.
1230PM: Paul and I will stop for lunch here. Another must-try when in Singapore is their Hainanese Chicken Rice. We'll hop over to the posh Meritus Mandarin Hotel and dine at a restaurant called Chatterbox to enjoy the best Chicken Rice in Singapore.



8PM: It's finally time for dinner! We'll travel to CHIJMES which is situated within the compound of an old girl's convent school. I love the exterior and I can't wait to see how it looks like inside. Dinner will probably consists of an international fare from one of the restaurants inside this complex.
Just when you thought, it's time to unwind and call it a day...

12MN: The day has finally come to an end as we head back to our hotel. It was surely a fun, romantic and enriching day as we allowed ourselves to enjoy Singapore's food, history and most of all, it's beautiful scenery that will leave us wanting for more.
Lastly, to quote one of my favorite food icons on his thoughts about Singapore....

While this itinerary remains a dream today, we hope that soon Paul and I will find ourselves on board a plane headed to Singapore to make all these a reality.
Indulge in the Uniquely Singapore experience!
