Singapore has a lot of night adventures. You will not miss something interesting to occupy you during Singapore nights. It will depend on your own preferences. You can go out and watch nocturnal animals or get busy in various Singapore night clubs. There are also night shopping centers where you can dash and buy products which you may have forgotten to buy during the day.

Take a look at our list below and pick your adventures.

1. Gardens by the Bay

They consist of the largest reclaimed pieces of land in Singapore. There are many free zones where you can go and enjoy seeing different areas of the gardens free of charge. It is located adjacent to Marina Bay Sands. This makes the area among the best areas where you can go and enjoy nightlife in Singapore.

Seeing Asia in a glance at Lego Let's go Asia exhibit

Most probably most of us got hooked with Lego blocks when we were young or perhaps until now?  I admit that sometimes I do play Lego blocks with my kids.  I still enjoy assembling those pieces of blocks and find joy and satisfaction that I was able to build a complicated piece just by looking at the sample on the Lego box. 

When me and my hubby went out on a date last Sunday for his birthday treat for me, we happen to pass by a Lego display exhibit at The Block, SM City North EDSA.  I would have not have the interest to get close to the display because we have not brought the kids with us, but when I had a glimpse of what was being exhibited in the barricaded area, my enthusiasm ignited and more so my wanderlust striked me.

What we saw are replicas of iconic landmarks and structures from different countries in Asia.  I was impressed by those structures at how they were intricately formed from pieces of Lego blocks.  I just couldn’t imagine how much time and effort they spent in order to finish one replica.

Here are the eight iconic landmarks in Asia on display:

Himeji Castle of Japan, regarded as the finest surviving Japanese architecture 

Taj Mahal of India, regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world due to its unsurpassed architectural beauty

Rizal Monument of the Philippines

Wat Mahathat of Thailand.  Regarded as one of the ten royal temples of the highest class in Bangkok.

Merlion of Singapore.  A landmark which personifies Singapore.

Taipei 101, skyscraper of Taiwan which is one of the tallest building in the world.

I couldn’t help myself being amazed and at the same time entertained, just by looking at each structure.  I was happy to be brought back again to some of those places that I was able to see in real life, likewise, I also enjoy looking at and admiring the others, and somehow imagining that someday I will also be able to visit those iconic landmarks that I haven’t seen yet such as Taj Mahal, Taipei 101, Great Wall of China, Himeji Castle of Japan and Wat Mahathat of Thailand.

You can watch these Lego structures on exhibit free, tagged as “Let’s Go Asia” until June 7 at The Block, SM City North EDSA, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. mall hours.

From Oxford Hotel Singapore to where our feet brought us

     During our stay in Singapore we booked in Oxford Hotel  to sleep in for two nights, it is a budget hotel located in Queen Street, Bugis .  They have the basic necessities for their guests to sleep in for a night.  We were three in the room with my two siblings and there were only two single beds but we arranged an extra bed which they put in the middle which made the room crowded for the three of us. 

Viva! Vivo City

Sky Garden at Vivo City 

     Vivo City is the biggest mall in Singapore which is located in Harbourfront Walk, and this is where the train station going to Sentosa Island is located.  I also had the chance to have a last minute shopping when we came from Sentosa because the following morning was our scheduled flight back to Manila, so while the mall was still open we had the chance to window shop and also bought some for ourselves.

This is where the fun begins

     Right after sightseeing Singapore city via the Duck Tour we took a cab from Suntec City mall and headed to Vivo City where we have to catch the special train specifically going to Sentosa Island.  It is the biggest theme park in Singapore which offers a lot of activity to enjoy and in fact you can spend your whole day in Sentosa Island to be able to see and experience all.

Koi Garden in Suntec City Mall, Singapore

          We arrived Suntec City mall too early so most of the store inside were closed, but the entrance is already open for office workers having their offices in that building, that's why we were able to get inside.  Our purpose in going to Suntec City is not to shop for electronic gadgets which is Suntec City mall is known for having the latest and selling the cheapest electronic gadget in Singapore.  The reason we were in that mall was to catch the first voyage of the Duck tour at 10:00 a.m. 

Sightseeing Singapore in an hour via Duck Tour

Singapore Duck Tour ride

          One of the most memorable and exciting experience when I traveled Singapore in 2009 was the Duck Tour ride.  We only had one day to tour around Singapore so our limited time to travel around making it easier to have a glimpse on most of the tourist attractions that Singapore has to offer.
