Hi! I’m Alexis!

I’m a true-blue Singaporean who loves travel, photography, and food. I left my career in accountancy in 2014 to become a globetrotter. Since then, I’ve travelled to over 20 countries and have checked many adventures off my bucket list. I hope my readers will benefit from my first hand perspective of the trips.

Despite living in Singapore for my entire life, I didn’t watch the Garden Rhapsody music and light show at @gardensbythebay until recently. I was dazzled by the colourful lights that illuminate the supertrees. During the period of my visit, the “Retro Fever” theme was running and it felt as though I was being transported back to a 1970s disco hall. The supertrees were lit up by an array of multi-coloured disco lights and I revelled in a night of disco hits. To keep things fresh, the new theme has been changed to “Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story Adventure” to celebrate the release of Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story 4. Look forward to the medley of music from the Toy Story movies and watch the beloved Toy Story characters come to live on fluffy clouds amongst the supertrees. Are you a fan of cartoons/animated movies? What’s your favourite Disney/Pixar movie? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #singapore #singapore_insta #visitsingapore #gardensbythebay #supertreegrove #travel #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #girlpowertravel #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
Widely hailed as Van Gogh's magnum opus, “The Starry Night” painting depicts a dreamy interpretation of the artist's asylum room's stunning view of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Although Van Gogh revisited this scene in his work on several occasions, "The Starry Night" is the only nocturnal study of the view. Here are 3 interesting facts you don’t know about “The Starry Night” (I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t visit the exhibition): 1. Van Gogh painted the view from his east-facing window in the asylum 21 times. Although the series depicts various times of day and night and different weather conditions, all the works include the line of rolling hills in the distance. None shows the bars on the window of his room. 2. Van Gogh considered “The Starry Night" to be a failure, according to what he wrote in a letter to his brother. However, it has become one of his most famous works around the world today. 3. Research has confirmed that the dominant morning star in the painting is actually Venus, which was in a similar position at the time Van Gogh was working on "The Starry Night," and it would have shone brightly, just as Van Gogh painted it. Due to the vibrant palette and the swirling motion that seems to draw viewers right into the centre of Van Gogh’s fantastical vision, it’s not hard for art fans and the general public to resonate with his painting, even up till today. On a side note, it’s the Father’s Day weekend in Singapore and I’ll be out feasting with my daddy and @ahsooon’s daddy. What are you up to this weekend? • • • #vangoghmuseum #vangoghalive #vangogh #vincentvangogh #travelblogger #hongkong #hongkonginsta #hongkongig #hongkongtrip #discoverhongkong #hkig #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
In my previous post about the @artsciencemuseumsg’s Future World exhibition, I mentioned about the different themes and today, I’ll share more about the “Town”. It is often in cities where great achievements in art and science are made. Urban areas offer access to education, jobs, transport and information, as well as a sense of community, and space for culture to proliferate. Contemporary architects design buildings and urban spaces using a combination of cutting-edge technology and artistic acumen. In the “Town” section of the exhibition, participants of all ages become players on the municipal stage. Communication, cooperation and teamwork are just as essential to human survival today as they were in pre-modern village, or kampong. However, individual expression is indispensable in making the urban setting a vibrant, animated, living environment. “Town” presents six of @teamlab_news’s projects that are designed to engage adults and children alike to cooperate and inspire one another to meet the challenges of the urban setting as a shared space. I’ll leave you with a meaningful quote - We are individuals, but accomplish more together. Do you prefer working solo or as a team? What challenges have you faced when working as a team? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #singapore #singapore_insta #visitsingapore #artsciencemuseum #teamlab #teamlabborderless #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
Macau isn’t just about casinos and gambling. There are attractions such as the Ruins of St. Paul, Macau Tower, A-Ma Temple and the Guan Yin Statue, just to name a few, to keep you entertained. Souvenir shops and local eateries can be found around the bustling Senado Square. When you’re done visiting the older part of Macau, take the bus to Taipa and check out the modern and grand casinos along the Cotai strip. The Venetian Macau, The Parisian Macau (we stayed here) and the City of Dreams are impressive structures which look even more dazzling at night. On this side of Macau, souvenir shops and local food can be found at Taipa Village. If you’re not into gambling, the following are 5 unusual things you can do in Macau: 1. Ride the only “figure-of-eight” Ferris wheel in the world at the Studio City Resort. 2. Take a sangria bath at the Grand Lapa Spa. In addition to the bath, you’ll also be offered a glass of sangria during the spa treatment. 3. Visit Hac Sa Beach which is famous for its black sand. 4. While your family, friends or partner are off gambling in the casino, you can try scoring a hole in one at the 18 hole Grado mini golf course, a lesser known feature at The Venetian. 5. Sail away from the shores of Macau to Qingzhou Shuidao Island and catch pink dolphins in their natural habitat. Macau is definitely worth more than a day trip from Hong Kong. My favourite thing to do in this city is to try all the local food! Speaking of local food ... Where’s your hometown and what local food would you recommend me to try if I visit? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #hongkong #hongkonginsta #hongkongig #hongkongtrip #discoverhongkong #hkig #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
@artsciencemuseumsg is devoted to the exploration of art, science and the connections between them. In the permanent exhibition, Future World, the creative threads by which art and science, technology and culture are inextricably bound are expressed in the immersive, interactive artworks by @teamlab_news. The exhibition features a collection of art installations and interactive projects suitable for adults and children. It is an invitation to have fun, to play and to explore, but also to reflect on our own position relative to the natural world, other people and the universe. Future World is organised into five themes namely, “Nature”, “Town”, “Sanctuary”, “Park” and “Space”, each of which uses cutting-edge science and technology to create constantly evolving environments. The exhibition will also grow and transform over time, with new artworks and attractions adding richness to the stunning digital world. Have you visited Singapore and already seen this exhibition? If not, do you have any plans to discover the charms of my hometown soon? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #singapore #singapore_insta #visitsingapore #artsciencemuseum #teamlab #teamlabborderless #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
Whenever new attractions or restaurants pop up in Singapore, I’ll wait for the hype to die down before visiting because I dislike crowds and dislike queues. However, @changiairport is like my second home since I fly in and out of Singapore frequently, so I decided to check out @jewelchangiairport before taking off to The Philippines. And WOW! Singapore, you’ve done all of us proud again! I was awed by the grandeur of the HSBC Rain Vortex - the world's tallest indoor waterfall at 40 metres high. Come nightfall, the sheet of water becomes a screen on which a light-and-sound show is projected. Don’t miss this incredible attraction! Have you been captivated by any light shows around the world? Please share your experiences with me because I’d love to check them out someday! • • On a sidenote, I captured this with the GoProHERO7 Black @gopromysg and used the night mode. It’s so convenient to bring the small camera out nowadays! • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #singapore #singapore_insta #visitsingapore #changiairport #jewelchangiairport #goprohero7 #journeysofgirls #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
