Day 1: Arriving in Singapore, the first step into a clean, lovely city and enjoyable shopping
at Bugis Street 🛍️🍡

We arrived at Changi Airport early in the morning. The weather was great, feeling super refreshed. First, we bought MRT tickets or an EZ-Link card (like a rechargeable transit card), which made getting around the city very easy and convenient.

This time, we chose accommodation near Bugis because it’s convenient and we love the atmosphere there, full of cute shops and a small market called Bugis Street Market, our first destination.

This place is perfect for shopaholics with tons of items—from cute clothes, bags, shoes to souvenirs and sweets. There are also many food and dessert stalls to try. We were hooked by the soft red pork bun with a fragrant Chinese spice aroma and didn’t miss out on a large cup of bubble tea with just the right sweetness, not too cloying.

After leisurely strolling and grabbing lots of goodies, we returned to our accommodation to rest and get ready for the next day’s exciting adventures!

Day 2: Ultimate fun at Universal Studios Singapore 🎢🎡

We woke up early to head to Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa Island. It’s a theme park that’s not too big but has many diverse rides.

We bought tickets online beforehand, so we didn’t have to wait in long lines—just scanned the QR code to enter. Super convenient!

The ride that impressed us the most was Transformers The Ride, which made us feel like we were inside an actual 3D action movie, plus the Sci-Fi zone with many thrilling games. There was also Shrek 4D Adventure and a lovely fairy tale princess zone.

Throughout the day, we stopped to eat at various food stalls inside the park. The food was delicious with many options. The park also maintained excellent cleanliness and safety.

In the evening, we watched the Wings of Time light and sound show by the sea—a spectacular fountain, laser, and fireworks show set to music that ended our day on a high note.

Day 3: A day of nature and beautiful views at Gardens by the Bay & Marina Bay Sands 🌺🌇

We started the morning by taking photos with the Merlion at Merlion Park, a landmark everyone must visit in Singapore.

Then we went to Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic botanical garden with towering steel trees called Supertree Grove. The lights at night here are stunning, like a fairy tale.

We explored the Flower Dome, which houses flowers and plants from around the world, and the Cloud Forest Dome with a tall indoor waterfall, feeling like walking in a real rainforest. The atmosphere was incredibly refreshing.

In the evening, we didn’t miss going up to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark rooftop to enjoy a 360-degree panoramic city view. The sunset view here was breathtaking, and we took many photos to capture the moment.

Day 4: Full-on shopping at Orchard Road & cute cafes ☕🍰

On the last day before leaving, we went all out shopping at Orchard Road, Singapore’s famous shopping street with large malls and many brand stores.

We browsed for souvenirs like cosmetics, snacks, and cute items to give to friends and family.

Then we took a break at a small, cozy Japanese-style cafe called Hvala, decorated warmly with a variety of green tea and desserts. We tried matcha cake and hot green tea, which were rich in flavor and just the right sweetness—very refreshing.
