ACTIVITIES
TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
The majority of our time in Singapore will be spent revisiting familiar sites for my family as well as giving me the chance to see where I came from. These places include Gleneagles Hospital; the hospital where I was born, our old home, The Canadian International School; my old nursery school, as well as the Singapore Zoo; my favourite place as a kid. All these locations are accessible through the MRT.
Visiting these places will be less so for the entertainment, and more so for the emotional and sentimental value they would bring. Although I would have never remembered these specific sites, learning about my origins and history would give me a unique insight into my life that I had never possessed before.

BOtanical Gardens (Orchid Garden)
A world famous garden located in the heart of the city, the Botanical gardens is a must visit while in Singapore.

My mother and sister have always loved the Orchid Garden located within the Botanical Gardens, and would very much like to visit while in Singapore.

SENTOSA
One of the main tourist attractions in Singapore is Sentosa island, located on the South side of the city. Sentosa hosts a variety of attractions including golf courses, Universal Studios Singapore, Segway tours, skydiving simulators and beaches, attracting tens of millions of people each year. My family and I would take a full day at Sentosa, as the multitude of attractions warrant a significant amount of time to experience. Taking a cable car across from the main island would also show a beautiful view of the surroundings and the island itself.
