3 countries, 3 weeks business trips, 3 Singapore trips; all within 1 month (Attempting to sound like Phil Keoghan of The Amazing Race here). Tired? Well YEAH!!Since I've been to Singapore soooo often (after all it's only 50mins flight), I thought I know it all (sounded cocky right? Singaporean probably hates me for this, SORRY guys!). Anyway, when Maimon say lets do a night cable car ride to Sentosa Island, I was..... there's a night ride??? Then she said, we can do LUGE too. WHAT??? There's more to come okay. Sucker for all these, I; without hesitation and obediently said YES! (I mean, who in their right mind wouldn't right!?!).
So, off we go to Mount Faber Jewel Cable Car ride.
The view was magnificent, and the fact that I was traveling with kids, I felt like one too - automatically (But seriously; I have always had the biggest young kid heart! Hahhaha). Love the road lights, reminded me of those postcard pics (on a perasan mode here).I felt that Christmas is the season where the WHOLE Singapore is being lighted up. Really....
View of Vivo City when we cable car over it. Here too is the docking for Star Cruise that set sail from Singapore-Malaysia-Phuket. Not only that, you can also take the ferry to Batam, Indonesia. AND (Yup! There's more), they have another cable car station HERE if you wish to ride, but the trip is a tad too short from Vivo City to Sentosa Island though, hence I don't think it as much fun.OK! We did the LUGE and all, I write this on the next entry for you guys yah... plus some other yummy stuff (on my 2nd Singapore trip).
Back on Christmas, the "Maimon cable car trip" was the first Singapore trip beginning of this month, then there's my last week trip (3rd trip) which I decided to take pics of the ever so famous Christmas light on Orchard Road. You won't believe how many LOCALS and TOURIST with their point-&-shot camerasssss and DSLRssssss with tripod and all on Orchard, goodness; it was a massive human traffic jam. Hahhaha.... but this created the Christmas-y mood, so; I guess no one minds.:)
I thought my mom favourite mall have the nicest decor, sooo sweet and yummy looking.
Near Centre Point mall. I guess the one thing missing here is SNOW!!!Care to share your Christmas lights story with me?
P/S : Bahiya, I got your Timberland shoe for you yah!

Hi, beautiful city pictures.. how much lights and colours.. i will keep comming..
Greetings
Hoe is jouw weekend? We hebben zoveel sneeuw en de lucht is heel wit! Yesterday i did some christmas-shopping and was quite succesful - only one thing is missing now! Lieve groet! xx
Very joyful place, this Singapore, mmm? It's possible to feel from every your word. Italians have the tradition to ornament the streets with the colored lamps. But I have never seen so beautiful and "lightly" place.
Dejemonos sorprender,

martina,
i hope you manage to get everything on time. merry xmas. :D
lidumila,

beautiful kan during christmas? we had our anni dulu kat sini :)
these pictures are astounding! i need to go to Singapore.
Great photos, Lily! I always feared taking that cable car, cuz it's sooo high above the surface. But then one day I went to Lantau island to see the big Buddha and I think that one is even higher and longer. So I guess next time I can go to Sentosa with this one :)=
Those lights! The whole city is lit up and it's absolutely beautiful!
