Being known for its exemplary cleanliness and safest place to visit, Singapore is no doubt one of the top Asian destinations for Filipinos during vacation and holidays. The whole family will surely enjoy immersing in numerous tourist spots, exciting attractions, a myriad of activities, shopping malls, and amusements. The transportation system is so accessible and there is no language barrier since English is a common language.

Happy Us

We were so excited and so happy when at last, my brother who is working in Singapore granted his promise. He will treat us to a delightful summer vacation together with his family. Our mother whose feet are still itching to go places despite her age of sixty-six was the happiest of all. Hahaha! So thankful to God for the blessings of travel and life.

Singapore is on my bucket list to visit. At the onset, the reason why I want to set foot in this country is for me and my kids being their first time to travel abroad is to see why Singapore was tagged as one of the cleanest and safest to visit.

Not only that. Traveling the world will teach my children about the people, delightful cuisines, cultures, different geographies, and technology. It will teach them to appreciate experiences and gather a unique memory in the process.

Singapore Changi Airport

My brother booked us an early flight to assure us of a worthy family vacation. We started everything by strolling around in Singapore Changi Airport (also known as Changi Airport). With its unique facilities and so many exciting attractions, Changi Airport is by itself a wonderful universe to explore.

Changi Airport won many times as “Hall of Fame” in Skytrax Airport of the Year. Not only that, it was named by air travelers as the World’s Best Airport at the 2016 World Airport Awards held in Germany for the fourth consecutive year.

We were amazed and fascinated by walking inside. It was so beautiful! Our younger buddies frolicked in the children’s playground and Interactive Art, the reason they got exhausted.

I only took a few photos because of my excitement strolling around the airport. I was so elated because after this we will start our exciting escapade once we drop our bags in the condo unit my brother had rented for a couple of days.

We consumed half of the day strolling inside the beautiful and amazing airport.

Transportation System

My brother searched for a budget-friendly condominium unit on the internet and luckily, he found a family room in MaySprings Condominium in Bukit Panjang which is in the West Region of Singapore. From the airport we rode the Skytrain going to Terminal 2 then another MRT ride going to Bugis Station and lastly to Bukit Panjang. It was an easy ride and cost us less using the EZ-link card.

I was so elated when we arrived in MaySprings Condominium because at any moment, we will get out of the unit to start our adventure. Yahoo!!!

The family room was owned by a fellow Pinoy, a local of Pangasinan who had a success story in Singapore. As of our visit, the room was available because the owner and her family are in their hometown for a vacation. It had two rooms, a dining area, a large living room, a kitchen, and a laundry area.

Unfortunately, my buddies were all exhausted. Our early trip by 4:00 am and the cold room had cast a spell and so they dozed off. I was so persistent to get out of the unit to start exploring the city, but since they were all sleeping, well, I might as well join them. Waaaahh!

Safe Place to Roam at Night

Good thing by night, we went into a nearby shopping mall to buy grocery goodies for our breakfast and baon for the next day’s getaway. They say it was safe to go anywhere in Singapore, so I comfortably placed my cell phone in my back pocket while having fun roaming inside the grocery area.

When we were done, I chose to stay outside to relish the moment with a quiet walk along the streets. There were few cars passing by on the main road. The cool breeze was so wonderful. There’s no pesky smoke coming from vehicles and cigarettes. It was just right that my brother found this quiet town because we were away from the busy city.

I was the only one dominating the street. I did not bother walking fast going back to the condo. Why hurry when you are savoring wonderful night solitude alone in a safe country like Singapore?

From my previous unforgettable experiences abroad (in Taiwan and Malaysia), I have this hunch, our Singapore getaway may top them all.

Well, let us see.
