BEST OF SINGAPORE
Hey
all
I
am super excited to pen down by "Experience and Memories" of my visit
to Singapore "The Lion City" !!! I have been to Singapore twice, nearly for three weeks each time. After almost 5 hrs of journey and 'Flying over the Green Meadows and Water Bodies', I finally reached Singapore- Changi Airport and there I was welcomed by my 'Aunt
and Uncle'. Singapore
often known for Skyscrapers and Ultra-Modern amenities ; but there is
unseen side to it.
Singapore is an amazing country, truly speaking
even a month time will be seemed insufficient to explore this
beautiful place. It has so much to offer !!! and the best part it's safest place to travel
alone :)

Garden by the Bay

It's one of the most popular Tourist Attractions in Singapore. Located at Marina Bay.
Entry to Garden by the Bay can be made either by 'Marina Bay Sand' or from the 'Helix Bridge' towards the Art Science Museum.

The Free evening "Light

best way to enjoy is to just lay on your back, relax and enjoy this
mesmerizing show with "Melodramatic Sounds and Glittering Lights".

Flower
Dome- We
visited the "Flower Dome" first ie. in afternoon, as flowers best seen in daylight. Flower Dome is filled with beautiful flowers,
ample varieties of
plants, It’s simply beautiful!!!
Cloud
Forest- "Cloud Forest" was the next, as we entered the Cloud Forest cold breeze hit our faces;
beating the outside heat(even the month of Feb could be hot); it was so refreshing, and there stood
a "Massive Man made Waterfall" in front of us.
For few minutes I
simply gazed the waterfall, as it was breath taking, clicked lots n
lots of photos;) . The whole place is climate controlled it's really cool inside. Elevator took us to the top, it's "Five Storey Rain-Forest" and
we descend the Cloud Mountain via Circular Walkways.
Supertree
Grove(Skywalk)- Awesomeeee!!! Just my way to describe it, hehehe. “Supertree Grove” is a tree
like "GIANT STRUCTURES". Lift took us to the top of Supertree which was
connected to the other Supertree via Skywalk.
We were able to look
through the Entire Garden, the Singapore Flyer , the Gigantic Marina
Bay Sands. It was truly one
in a million experience, Stars Beneath the Stars......

round). It's situated at the heart of Singapore i.e.

Universal Studio
"Universal Studio" situated on Resorts Worlds Sentosa is 15 mins walk from Vivo City-Habour Front MRT. We reached around 10:00 am, so as to enjoy to the fullest. The craziness in me kicked-off even before entering the U.S, everything around was like dream come true; be it 'The Universal Globe', 'Candy Trees', 'Chocolate Special Characters' ................. photos are the must(yayyyy). Everything seemed so perfect that day.
Universal
Studio is divided into Seven Zones; each zone designed brilliantly -
Hollywood
The Entrance Street is called the "Hollywood Zone" ; it's all about Merchandise Shops, Cafes, Photo Booths. For me Hollywood Zone was all about my favorite movie character Minionssss and the most famed Minion-Mart; beautifully designed with all Minion Stuffs from Minion Popcorn Box to Minion Pen-Drive to Minion T-shirts to Minion Characters whoaaaaaaaaaaa……….
It was truly a heaven on earth for Minion fans like me, it was super duper crazyyyyy!!! can't ask for more.
I
like to move it move it…………hahaha! Song for the day…….
Name
says all! It’s all about the movie “Madagascar” franchise.
Alex, Gloria, Marty and Melman are the special characters of this
zone. I really enjoyed the Boat Ride(suitable for all age group) and the 15 mins Character's Performances at Madagascar zone. Alex,Gloria, Marty, Melman , Pengiuns all came together for special performances. The cutest part of this zone was the photo with a group statue(really huge one) of the Madagascar cast.
Far Far Away
Exquisite Far
Far Away Castle steals the show! It seemed exactly the way i used to see in Fantasy Movies and in Storybooks as a child. Based on movie “Shrek” Franchise. Shrek, Fiona,
Donkey, Puss in Boots ............ are the Special Characters of this zone. Shrek
4-D movie was a delight to watch; cute and engaging. But the recently opened Puss in
Boots ride -Roller Coaster, was just fantastic ; wanting for more and more(we did many a times).
The
Lost World

based on "Jurassic Park". After waiting in long queue , for almost 1 hr; I finally got on to Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure-Water Ride; it left me amazed! It was simply awesomeeee, do wait for the BIG
SURPRISES…… not to be told but to only experienced.
Canopy Flyer –Roller Coaster was quick and fun, Dino-Soarin –Spin Ride was truly a happy ride...............sit back and push the button! FLY HIGH................Don't forget to meet the Star of The Lost World, the Cute Infant Triceratops "DIANE".
"Waterworld" is
also a part of The Lost World, its Live Action Performance Show of
about 30 mins…..it’s simply not to be missed.
It’s
based on the movie "The Mummy". The main attraction of this zone was
the Roller Coaster-The Revenge of The Mummy, which I skipped! It seemed really scary…..........
opps. Treasure Hunters(suitable for all age group) was seriously bore and waste of time. The Egyptian Characters were koolllll to be clicked with.
Sci-Fi City
I simply love this zone, here
comes the best part, 4-D Transformer Ride! a ride I did number of
times and still wanting for more(be ready for longgggggg queue). Battlestar Galactica HUMAN v/s CYLON is a jaw dropping Roller Coaster; ultimate ride or all fearless people out, I not one of them(hehehe). Get clicked with my favorite
