The training lasted for two days but we stayed there for 5 days. Enough time was spent roaming the streets and malls of Singapore. Before getting there, i already had a clear idea of what Singapore looks like, based on the stories i heard from friends and colleague that has been and is there, and they were true to their stories. Singapore is a very systematic country, very clean and very expensive. I admire the people behind their system.

Merlion
Just a minute walk from our hotel is the Merlion, a must see in SG.

Esplanade
Esplanade is also called the “Durian” as it looks like one.

They said visiting Singapore is never complete unless you’ve been to Sentosa Island, a themed Park, so to complete our visit, our fourth day was spent there! We enjoyed the sceneries, strolled in the beach of Siloso, trekked at the Fort and got amazed inside the images of singapore. We also enjoyed riding skyride, segway and the most exciting luge.

At the Sentosa
Siloso Beach. There are 3 beaches in Sentosa Island.

Seems real…

The skyride, i wasnt able to get a picture of me in Luge.. sayang..
The skyride, Luge is more exciting but no pic taking is allowed, same goes with the segway.

On our last night, we stayed at the place of our former colleague, who is now based in Singapore. I was also met by my classmates in MBA and strolled in the streets of Orchard. I really enjoyed my visit in Singapore and i am so thankful to the hospitable friends that we got there.
