Lot One

I had never been to Lot One before.

This shopping mall is located at the Choa Chu Kang MRT stop in Singapore. It has many favorite stores and my daughter did not even mind shopping around a bit. There were Converse, Royalty Sports, Bata (where she first found the shoes she ended up buying!), a skate shop, our favorite Hang Ten . There are many other stores as well. In addition to shopping there is a food court, a money changer, an arcade, a theater and a Public Library branch And for added motivation for the littlest shoppers to behave, there is a water playground located on the roof!

Admiralty Park

I've never been to Admiralty Park.



I discovered this fairly new park on our last day in Singapore. Earlier in our trip we cycled past some signs that state "Don't Feed the Monkeys".





I found this rather curious and had to go back to take some photos. When I went back to get the shots, I knew I had seen a path of some sort. So I went back around and found the entrance to the park. There is a small pond and a hiking trail leading into the jungle.





And there at the head of the path were several monkeys. People were even walking past them with no notice on either parties' side.





I am rather sad to say that I did not get to venture down the path like I really wanted to. But I've already got that on my list for the next trip.

The Buddha Tooth Temple

I've never been to the Buddha Tooth Temple .

My blogging buddy FF&F recently visited this temple/museum while on his recent trip to Singapore. He told about this temple on his blog and I told him I would write about it here.

This temple/museum is said to display a tooth relic. Each day visitors can view this relic and the accompanying ceremony by the monks. The temple is located at the edge of Chinatown. There is an exhibition hall, a tea house serving tea and vegetarian snacks, and on the roof orchid blooms named after the Buddha Tooth.

The Fullerton Hotel

I've never been to The Fullerton Hotel in Singapore.

It is a former British post office which has been converted into a lovely hotel. Here bathers can swim along side the hotel and enjoy the view of the prosperous island nation. This island nation has always prided itself on hard work, but is now trying to present itself as not only all work, but beginning to enjoy the play too.


According to an article in the most recent Smithsonian magazine, this tiny island nation is trying to shake its uptight image. It is beginning to focus on culture, the arts and fun. Because Singapore is at the crossroads of trade routes, it has an ideal location. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has undergone a transformation. For example, the Boat Quay used to be a dangerous place after dark, but now has become a hot spot for night life. Extended bar hours, the Fashion Festival, and not-to-be-missed Vivo City are all coming together to help Singapore shed its all work and no play image.

Haw Par Villa

I've never been to Haw Par Villa in Singapore.

Though I have been to Singapore and have many friends, including Singlish Stories , there, I've never been to this theme park. Haw Par Villa is a theme park of Chinese mythology. Here you can find exhibits of many legendary, historical and mythological characters. The park boasts over 1,000 statues set into 150 different scenes.
