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.

mustafa 24 hour mall
Mustafa Centre

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.

nightsafari
Night safari

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.

prawn fishing
Pêche aux crevettes géantes

http://prawnfishinginsingapore.blogspot.com/
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.

Nex mall Serangoon

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.

Sentosa Island

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.

sentosa

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.

There are many wonderful things to see here’s a little list

Three beaches on 3 kilometres of sand along the coast. There, Siloso Beach, the most developed and commercial, offering many restaurants and trendy products, but also more expensive.

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
