From the Regent Hotel in Cuscaden Road, we walked for 15 minute to this inspiring piece of heaven on earth, the Botanic Garden of Singapore. We knew that we wouldn't be able to cover the whole grounds in one day but we tried to enjoy what little time we had here. It took us 3 hours to reach the Orchid Garden before we turned back.
This paradise on earth boasts of a huge herbarium collection and
library, making it an important reference center for botanists around the world.

2. Supertrees at the Gardens by the Bay
These man man made structures light up the sky every night. There's a bridge that lets you go from tree to tree and gives you a beautiful sight of the bay area.

Enclosed in a self contained structure is a man made rain forest. The temperature is controlled and mist is everywhere, making you think of dinosaurs and cavemen.

Need I say more?
Cable Ride to Sentosa
You can stroll to Sentosa by using the boardwalk or you can travel by cable car. It will zip you above for a few minutes, offering a stunning view of the world renowned resort.
It is an amazing experience and at the same time relaxing.

10.Quaint Cafes
In Cluny Hill where my brother works, there's a cafe called House and it's interesting as you can see. In the Kampong Glam there are cafes that serve international liquor and cuisine like the Mexican Piedra Negra.
