Exploring Singapore Together: Family Edition
Wazzzuup! I finally have a moment to write—wohooo! Earlier this month, the fambam and I traveled to Singapore, and I want to share some memories here. Our first trip abroad together was in Hong Kong, and it’s been years since we last went out of the country. I felt it was the perfect time for us to travel again. It’s not my first time in Singapore, but I thought it would be the best destination for my family… despite what my wallet says, lol.
Getting to the airport, arriving at the airport. What a happy family, lol.
That's right, we made it through immigration! The reason I dressed this way is that I'm taking my family along - I had to look like a rich woman capable of handling four people, haha.We grab dinner first, then head to the gate.
Aren't we so cute, waiting to board!
Let's board the plane!
Rapha proudly bought pretzels with her own money— the cheapest thing on the menu.
It’s already Mama’s birthday on the plane, so I asked her to take a picture—happy birthday, Mama! 🥳 This trip was also one of the main reasons I wanted to make this happen. Currently watching Friends mid-flight, hihi. And just look at how sweet my parents are. 🥰
After 4 hours—touchdown SG! First win: free water!!! I told the whole fam to bring their own tumblers so we could save some money, haha. Booked a taxi through Gojek and this beautiful car showed up—just look at how happy they were!
Finally, we arrived at our hotel. It turned out to be bigger than I expected, and since it was pricey, I’m glad it was actually worth it.
The first day is Universal Studios Singapore, so here are some of my favorite photos from USS.
I love Shrek so I dragged the whole family to watch the 4D show. When I went to Universal Studios Japan, I missed out because my friends weren’t into it, so this time I made sure to watch with the fam. I even bought a Shrek cap… and guess what? I saw Shrek too, yayyyy!
Then off we went to The Mummy! My dad’s a big fan of the Mummy movies, so he was really looking forward to this ride. We saw on TikTok that it’s actually kind of an extreme ride, but we decided not to tell Mom—she was already nervous enough, HAHAHA.
I bought this souvenir (almost ₱3,000!) to always remember the experience, HAHAHA. Mom wasn’t too happy with this ride, and we ended up just laughing and blaming each other after. It was definitely intense, but worth the fun and the long lines. Not exactly elder-friendly though, lol. As you can see, I’m the only one truly having fun here. HAHAHA.
It's lunchtime! It's 700php+ per person, I look happy but I'm not really happy hahahaha. However, I like it because I like curry.
I bought some dessert too after, but they were too expensive, So I bought one for five HAHAHA. Yes, ONE for FIVE, because it looked that yummy!
Went to minions ride too! Watching Dad crack up at the Minion Mayhem story was priceless, we’ve officially got a new Minion fan in the fam.
I saw Mason and Toothless too! I told Mason I wanted Toothless for myself, so he tried teaching me how to tame a dragon. This guy talks non-stop and asks a million questions before I can even snap a photo with him and Toothless. He also initiated this pose, lol.
Also hopped on the Puss in Boots ride with my sisters!
Watched a Trolls performance. I loved it! Dancing, music, happy people… my kind of vibe.
We lined up for a picture with Gabby too!
We had so much fun with all the rides and the shows until the very end of the day. Then we grabbed some dinner, just look at how tired we were!
The next morning, since Our hotel was just in front of a mall, so of course we went there to hunt for some good finds, and guess what, we spotted these beautiful Jujutsu Crocs, 50% off baby!!! 😍 Hanee and I were literally jumping HAHAHA.
Had breakfast too, and it was the best toast ever, we loved it so much we ordered again!
We went to Sri Layan Sithi Vinayagar Temple, Little India, Chinatown, and Sultan Mosque at Arab Street. Here are my favorite photos.
You can clearly see who wasn’t a fan of trying the Indian food, HAHAHA.
Some of my other fave photos
We were supposed to visit the Merlion at night, but we didn’t know it was Singapore’s birthday! The area was packed with people and fireworks, so we just ended up heading home instead.
We just grabbed some pasalubong and ate at McDo since it was still open. We were so tired from all the walking, but this McDo meal hit the spot. I just love McDo SG!!! Always and forever.
Day 3, Let's goooo!
Finally went to the Merlion the next day!
We saw this cutie cat, it totally made my day!
Had Shake Shack for lunch
We then visited the Singapore Oceanarium! 🐠 I had a blast diving with so many fascinating sea creatures, including colorful fishes, and even huge sharks. The giant tanks were like stepping into another world. I definitely counted this as one of the highlights of this trip.
My favorite photos of me!!! I could cry!!! 😭
Before going home, I spotted Kazehaya and Sawako. Sawako is always in character, I love it! We also treated ourselves to some ice cream, it's only 10 SGD.
We headed to the mall again for some last-minute shopping, and grabbed Jollibee takeout for our final meal. I’m not a fan of Jollibee in SG, lol.
Going home, bye SG! ✈️
At the airport, we found the comfiest sofa ever. Honestly wanted to take it home with me!
We’re really heading home! Still watching Friends on the plane :)
Hello, Manila! No, we’re not exactly thrilled to be back home, but my cats are definitely happy, hahaha. Overall, it was a fun (and expensive!) family trip. The sisters had a different flight, so we had to head back first. All I can say is thank You, Lord! This trip was only possible because of the blessings we received this year. That’s it for this blog! Just jotting it down to keep track of everything. 😊
