Ni Hao, Apa Khabar and Vanakkam!! It was an absolute privilege for me to observe "Peace and Prosperity of SG" annual fun-filled event packed with exciting song performances, fireworks display, the setting of a Guinness World Record of the Largest Display of 720 Lion Dance, showcase of 54 Lamborghinis out of 300 in SG, outstanding Jazz performance by ladies band, Tessera, Rock concert and the lovely people, all around Durian Helmets!!

At 165 metres tall, Singapore Flyer is a masterpiece of urban architecture and engineering that showcases not only the mesmerizing cosmopolitan cityscape of the tropical Lion City, but even the surrounding islands of Indonesia and parts of Malaysia in all their glory. In addition to offering panoramic views of Singapore's cosmopolitan cityscape, guests can also indulge in a flute of champagne, or savour the iconic Singapore Sling whilst hosted in a special themed capsule. Diners seeking both privacy and luxury can opt for a multi-sensory treat unlike any other with our Premium Sky Dining Flight, complete with a four-course dinner and an in-flight host.

Went up to the Marina Bay Sands Skypark to admire the view and enjoy a cocktail,following the advise of a colleague Trip Advisor review I purchased the ticket to get access to the Skypark terrace and used the fee paid to pay in part for a cocktail, the view is magnificent and the architecture is amazing. The restriction was to go to the pool area reserved only for guests, Enjoying a cocktail and the view and the people watching was fabulous , the weather was perfect and had a leisurely drink and edamame, there are two bars I spent my time closest to the infinity pool, the oposite side had a restaurant and a bar, Excellent time
4. Lau Pa Sat Festival Pavilion

Reviewed By 404kaelp - Williamstown, Australia
Lau Pa Sat has a vast array of food stalls offering cuisines from around the world. The prices are very cheap, and the food was still very tasty. I would recommend seating in the middle of the market, as if you're on the outer ring you may be pestered by people trying to push their stall/dishes.
5. UOB
Overall Ratings

Not a customer of UOB but dropped by the visit the UOB Painting of the Year Exhibition. Stunning works on display of various mediums - including leather - stunning work of faces by Somchai Sidamon. Another entitled wastescape depicts space waste - intriguing and masterfully created by Chaichana Luetralun. Plenty of other art works that are equally attractive. Clearly a lot of talent on display. Opposite on the ground floor is Paris Baguette - I had a nice lunch there. As you exit the building onto UOB Square you will see a massive sculpture by Salvador Dali - an artists delight. Great visit.

Visiting this place both in the day and in the night gives you a sense of accomplishment. In the day you can walk along the waterfront and snap some nice souvenir pictures of the Singapore Icon, The White Merlion overflowing water splashing into the sea. Along the waterfront are food joints and drinks cafes. There are quite a nice selection of food and drinks including Seafood. In the night, you will see a variety of beautiful colourful Merlion depicting various Singapore Places Of interest in the form of light rays shining on the Beautiful Merlion. It is definitely cooler walking along the waterfront and enjoying the night scenes around it, including getting ready your camera for some nice shots of the surrounding sceneries from the Waterfront.

7. Sentosa Merlion
Overall Ratings

No visit to Sentosa is complete without meeting its most famous, 37-metre tall resident, the Sentosa Merlion. The legendary Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion's head and a fish's body - as a guardian of prosperity which personifies Singapore's history as an important seaport. The lion head depicts the folklore of Prince Sang Nila Utama's discovery of lion (singa) and City (pura) while the fish tail symbolises the fishing village of 'Temasek', also known as 'sea-town' in Javanese. Set foot in the Merlion's mouth to get up close and personal with the legend. But don't stop till you get to the crown! At 60 metres above sea level, you will actually be seeing Singapore through the perspective of the Guardian of Prosperity. Come soak up the 360⁰ commanding view and bask in the aura of this endearing national symbol. You'll see why legends, myths and stories all point to this regal creature for the swift recovery of Singapore's economy from the Asian financial crisis.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. The suite was beautiful and in keeping with the hotels era. The butler service was very good, the staff through out the hotel were attentive, friendly, polite and helpful. The bed comfortable, a pillow menu allowing for a change if desired. An elegant bathroom. Comfortable chairs and a table on the balcony to look at the garden, was very peaceful. Breakfast in the Tiffin Room was extensive and encompassing both eastern and western food, served promptly in lovely surroundings. Altogether a perfect stay for our 50th wedding anniversary. All the little extras to help us celebrate were much appreciated. The pool area was also a popular spot with us, reminiscent of a by gone era.
9. Marina Barrage

Be captivated by the bright lights of the Singapore Flyer and the Central Business District skyline against the sky at sunset, reflected in the still waters of the Marina Barrage. This Reservoir in the City was created with three key benefits, to provide water supply, flood control and a lifestyle attraction.
Reviewed By linwangtan - Hong Kong, China
Nonetheless, it is still quite an enjoyable experience. On really sunny days, consider bringing an umbrella, lots of sunblock, or even a portable fan. My only qualm is that it is really difficult to get to by public transport. There is a shuttle bus from the MRT, but the frequency is pretty low, so you might have to take a car or drive.
