All these photos and video were way overdue but I decided to post it near National Day.
Sad to say, I didn't get to go anywhere out of Singapore during this 8-month break.
So I decided that I am going to spend the last few moments of my holiday to "tour" Singapore.
Why?
1. It's cheap.
2. It's safe.
3. You can go home as and when you like.
Okay sorry for coming up with these lame reasons HAHAHA basically I just do not have time and money to travel out of town... But hey Singapore is pretty awesome okay.
Susana and I did our part for Ministry of Manpower and since we ended work early, this time we decided to "tour" from Chinatown all the way to the Central Business District. Previously we already planned to tour CBD but due to time constraint we only ended up at the Float. Such failure.
This time, it was way better. We were all prepared (dressed up with our shades and cameras) and off we go under the bloody hot sun.
We decided to begin with Chinatown as it's one of the places with old shophouses and streets that we rarely get to see nowadays. We walked towards the row of shophouses and then made a turn into the alley. The sun was scorching hot but it did justice to the lighting for our photographs.
This is where we ended our "trip". So from the old shophouses to the traditional streets selling local delights and clothes and souvenirs, to the Mosques and Temples along the way and finally the Central Business District filled with towering buildings... It felt like I took a walk back into history and I saw the change in Singapore. You might think that I am being lame/exaggerating/retarded, but the whole walk was worth it. I saw a different side of Singapore; not the usual city filled with shopping malls and high rise buildings but areas that still preserved the heritage of Singapore.
We grew tired of taking photos and then Susana came up with the idea of doing a vlog. I decided to use my favorite National Day Theme Song as the background music. So here is my version:
