Touchdown SG! This is an unexpected trip so I wasn't able to prepare an itinerary. Good thing is Singapore is a highly organized country with connecting trains that enable tourists to move easily around the city. So of course, we began with the famous Resorts World Sentosa.
An obligatory Universal Studios picture!
I've read that the Merlion is a famous tourist icon of Singapore. It's a combination of "mer" meaning sea, and lion. The fish body is said to represent Singapore's origin as a fishing village.
Man-made beach. How cool is that.
Meet my camera-shy friend whom I haven't met for around 7 years, Clarissa. She was kind enough to accompany me in exploring SG.
Of course, our visit to Sentosa will not be complete without some picture taking with the cute mascots from the Chocolate House. Young at heart.
After loading our hungry tummies, we then headed to Marina Bay. 
This floating Louis Vuitton store is definitely a statement - makes me drool.
Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
"I wanna be a millionaire, so freaking bad" That's my theme song for this place, yes?
Interestingly, the lobby of Marina Bay Sands is open to the public. Thanks for that!
The Sky Garden at night. Picturesque.
There was a free light show for the tourists and locals alike. Too bad it can't be caught on camera!
The ever beautiful and luxurious Marina Bay Sands.
Art Science Museum - love that it resembles a flower. Haha!
Singapore skyscrapers

Another obligatory picture at the Merlion Park.
SG's version of 'dirty' ice cream. Ice cream on a perfectly rectangular shape is just cute for me. :)

We were able to go from Changi Airport (which is by the way my favorite), to Sentosa, to Marina Bay in a day. Oh and let me just reiterate how great Changi is, good job Singapore for having such a World Class Airport true to its name! There was a butterfly garden, nature trail, swimming pool, and 24-hour movie theater; mind you this is an airport. And of course, a wide selection of boutiques that are tax-free. I literally roamed there for 7 hours, in pure joy, and went home with a heavier luggage. :)
Sounds like so much fun! I can't wait to plan my own trip to Singapore. It makes it easier to know someone there so that the trip is worth it :) Tons of my friends say it's SUPER clean in Singapore and judging from your images they're totally right. Hope I get to go there some day! :D
