There are myriad reasons for you to visit Singapore!
Although it is the smallest country in Southeast Asia, Singapore is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. The combination of dream-like, exotic landscapes, imposing ancient temples and worship sites grant the island a mysterious, almost unreal feature, immersing travelers into a deep state of relaxation, appeasement and contemplation towards the wonders of nature.
As soon as you arrive in Singapore, you will be overwhelmed by the magnificent sites and ancient architectonic structures, emerging from a landscape that seems to be untouched by man. The multitude of parks, botanical gardens and the beauty of the beaches found in Singapore render the diamond-shaped island a marvelous destination for tourists from all over the world.
Singapore's Chinatown is the traditional Chinese quarters of town, and while the entire city is largely Chinese these days the area does retain some of its own charm. The area is also known as Niu Che Shui (牛车水) in Chinese and Kreta Ayer in Malay, both names meaning "bullock cart water", a reference to the carts that used to haul in drinking water. Well, its almost like a KL China town but here more cleaner...
The central streets of Chinatown around the pagoda are packed with stalls selling all sorts of Chinese trinkets aimed squarely at tourists. There is also a cluster of (expensive) antique shops on South Bridge Rd. For Chinese handicrafts, antiques, fashion items, home accessories and Chinese medicine aimed more at the locals, poke into any of the numerous shopping malls.

记得,热爱生活
你不能决定生命的长度,但你可以控制它的宽度;
你不能左右天气,但你可以改变心情;
你不能改变容貌,但你可以展现笑容;
你不能控制他人,但你可以掌握自己;
你不能预知明天,但你可以利用今天;
你不能样样顺利,但你可以事事尽力.
加油,朋友!

I Like Nights like these
After a whole week of going to bed at 1 or 2 am in the morning and sleeping the whole day on Sunday; I go to bed on Sunday night and fail to sleep. After twisting and turning in my bed the whole night, my handphone's alarm clock goes off.
It's the first time in my life that I actually hate the sound of Take A Bow by Muse. And by God's will it is at 5.30 am that my body's sleeping gas start to take effect. I couldn't have asked for much better timing. I drag myself to the bathroom and take my shower, brush my teeth, etc, etc... I get dressed and I head to office with the false hope of somehow staying awake in office. I fail, of course.
