Whenever I talk to anyone about my plans to visit Singapore, I usually get the same response. Why? There is nothing to do? You will be bored?
Well, I can say from many visits that this is not true. To be honest, it all depends on your interests.
This being my site, I will cover the things that interest me. As a bit of a history buff, liking Asian art and photography, and walking everywhere, yes really even in the Singapore heat.
One thing to note is that I will not cover things like nightlife or food, as both are not really of much interest to me. I will, however, add some links that may help with that sort of thing.
And yes, I will start with shopping, even though it's not my primary interest when travelling.
Yes it may not be my primary interest, but one thing I do really enjoy is rummaging through a flea market.
Shopping[top]
While not as many as in Hong Kong, Singapore has many excellent shopping malls, here are some of the major ones which I have visited over the years.
In search for a bargin, head for one of the many markets and/or hawker centers. These places can be a real experience, and are well worth the visit, regardless of what you are looking for. And yes you can also eat at most of these.
Attractions.[top]
Marina Bay is the heart of Singapore and home to multiple iconic attractions, such as the Sands Hotel and the Merlion. Each time I visit Singapore, I stay very close to the bay, and I regularly visit the attractions. Just check out my gallery to see why.

Sentosa[top]
For those who do not know, Sentosa is a resort/leisure island located just off the main island's south coast. There are many attractions and hotels there, and it's a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. It is highly recommended for a visit, and that's from my experience as I always visit when I am in Singapore; just check out my photo gallery to see why.
