Cathay Cineleisure is developed around the theme of movies. A mixture of energetic and trendy pleasure, shopping, health spa, social clubs, and 20 theatres. Everything is planned to keep you entertained; comfortable sofa, billiard rooms, small lounge and a outdoor disco in the street in front of the mall. On weekends, you can watch movie 24 hours. That can help solve your insomnia problems or a place to go after clubbing in town. A good place to see weird youths like the ladyboy I saw dancing.

Go shopping at 4 am, no problem. The popular Mustafa Centre is open 24 hours. You can find everything under one roof at more competitive prices compared to other stores in Singapore. You can be lost in this store if you are not careful. Perhaps, the centre is crowded on weekends, the service is chaotic and security is a bit nervous. Some people got problems with police because their baby had taken something and don’t notice it.
A visit to the Night Safari is not stunning, but entertaining. It`s hard to find an outdoor activity in the dark where you can discover the wild and nature safely and well organized. For about $ 20 you got access to fire-eater show, a one hour show featuring the predators of the night, a 45 minutes tram ride with commentary in the park and 3 different paths to discover by foot. It’s worth the visit if you have time.

Catching your own prawns, have a beer, grill you catch on the BBQ pit provided. It is always something magical to catch his own meal. This fun activity is becoming quite popular with locals during the weekend. Everything happens at the end of a rod with bait. If you’re lucky, maybe you will catch a giant prawn of over 20 centimetres. Do not think that’s easy to catch. In order to be a good fisher requires knowledge and agility. But beer bites every time.

We decided to visit the new shopping mall Nex to see what the buzz was all about. Once in front of the huge modern structure, we noticed immediately that the construction does not seem to be finished yet. We did not have access to the main entrance of the carpark. There are rumours that on opening night, about a month ago, there was a monster traffic jam outside the carpark. The architects seemed to have made some mistakes. Once parked with the help of security staff, we’re ready to visit the new Hall of spending money. A narrow corridor leads to the elevators with very limited capacity. Once in the main hall we feel a little compressed, the ceilings are low and corridors on floors are rather narrow. It’s like a maze. The lower floors are larger and higher and simulate a real city street. There’s even an actual size 7eleven. There are many shops that are already known like Courts, Sasa, McDonald’s and KFC. There is some curiosity as the specialised remote control store, the Pet Safari spread across two floors that offers cakes for animals. They are crazy, those Singaporeans. The Japanese foodcourt and restaurants selection offering a fine array of Asian and western discovery.
This tiny island of 5 kilometres square called Sentosa or peace and tranquillity in Malay also has a dark history. The Malays called it the « dead back » or the island of death for its malaria pandemic that has decimated its population at the end of the decade of 1840. Things have changed, because today this tiny land surrounded by water has become the island of a thousand and one treasures. It`s with trillion dollars that the private interests and the Singapore government have turned it into a paradise of pleasures. Beach, upscale restaurants, golf course, surf simulator, Universal Studio theme park , 3D cinema, luge ride, underwater aquarium and the list keeps growing every month.
You can start your visit from VivoCity Shopping Mall, boarding the monorail or cable car that gives a breathtaking view over the bay and its fantastic infrastructure.
There are so many things to see and do on the island that it is hard to describe one’s experience. One can also simply visit by car by crossing the bridge, giving you a nice point of view on the impressive statue of the Merlion and the Universal Studios theme park. It costs only $ 11 with admission to the island and parking all day. From there, you can choose from a wide range of activities. You may also like to take it easy, enjoying the sunshine and the beach. Nothing stops you from bringing your own picnic and your drinks or get it from stores along the beach. The scenery is so impressive that we forget that just in front on the sea hundreds of commercial ships waiting to be served at the port. We did not believe too than on the other side of the shore is the center of a metropolis.

But to relive one’s teenage years or make children smile, this is priceless just like what the visa advertisement said.

If you need a shopping fix , go along Orchard Road. The shopping capital of Singapore. The street is crowded with upscale chic shops like Gucci, dozens of huge shopping mall we can find everything from the $ 5,000 handbags to the latest electronic gadget through a festival kitsch souvenirs.

Video camera, laptop, mobile phone, mp3 player and more. all brands and models are available at Funan Digitalife Mall and Sim Lim Square. Prices are generally 10 to 20% percent cheaper than anywhere else on the planet. For my experience, there is no great bargain, but the choice is amazing

The big wheel is 165 meters wide and just like several attractions of the country it holds a world record; one of the world’s tallest. Despite all the photos and media buzz bringing by this infrastructure, people in Singapore do not ride aboard often. It’s a bit far from everything and $ 30 for 30 minutes is a lot of money to get laid in this way. Fortunately you’ll never have to queue. The best time to board is at sunset when the skyscrapers light their magnificent light

As in any good metropolitan city that respects itself, there is a large Chinatown to visit. Singapore’s population is made up to 80% of Chinese, Chinatown is one of the most authentic. There are
several temples and shop offering traditional art, restaurants offering fine dining and cuisine as it found in the streets of Beijing. A good place to find clothes of silk, satin, exotic products and products that can be found in our one dollar stores.

We can see all the boats park on the horizon as witnesses of Singapore one of the largest seaports in the world. A great place to watch the sunset and to see colour changing with the coming of darkness. There are many Singaporeans and expatriates who enjoy nature especially Malaysians, Filipinos and a few Indians who like to come with family and friends for a picnic or a BBQ. We can camp by renting a place with BBQ as many people do. The park really belongs to everybody, the corners of greenery and tranquillity is rare in SG so that park is very popular on weekends. There are also plenty of small restaurants, fast food, a 24 hours 7Eleven and public facility with shower and toilet. A little piece of heaven for taking it easy without going broke in the middle of this urban jungle.
A nice little park with majestic trees, games for children, protecting area for kayaking, sailing and cycling. A good family place not too busy.
Prepare to be transported through the streets of Bombay or Mumbai. Everything is there honking cars at every corner, groups of Indian sitting in the grass to drink their beer, families in traditional dress for go shopping the streets are very busy is the only observable chaos throughout the country. Everything is like being in India, nothing is formatted for tourists and that’s why people like it
The super-casino in Singapore, whose opening has been postponed until late April and we can understand why when you see this huge infrastructure. Ice Rink, a canal where you can take a ride in a gondola like in Venice, super luxury stores such as Ferrari, Gucci, Mont Blanc called a mark of prestige it has settled here. The Casino is one of the most profitable of the world breaking the revenue of Las Vegas one. Singaporeans have to pay $ 100 for access and free for foreigners. Beautiful place to lose your shirt.
