Singapore in a day? Challenge accepted! 🚇🌟 I zipped across the city using the MRT for the *ultimate* stress-free getaway—and yes, you can just tap in & out with a Touch ‘n Go Visa (no more hunting for those EZ-Link cards!) 💳👌
Here’s my scroll-worthy, easy-to-copy route—perfect if you want glorious city views, lush gardens, and *major* local vibes 🌸👇🏻
⸻
🌿 Touchdown at Changi → National Gallery Singapore

Soaked in serious art + chill vibes at the National Gallery. The architecture here is next-level and the exhibits? Insta-worthy! 🎨✨

🎟️ SGD 20 for entry (free for citizens/PRs—score!)
⸻
🏮 National Gallery → Chinatown

Capped off my Singapore speed-run at Gardens by the Bay—those Supertrees are honestly unreal 🌳✨ If you’re around in the evening, the light show is pure *magic* (catch it at 7.45pm or 8.45pm!) 🌃
