The Old Hill Street Police Station is one of Singa

The Old Hill Street Police Station is one of Singapore’s Instagram-worthy places. It is the site of Singapore's first jail. Today, the heritage building is home to Singapore’s Ministry of Communications and Information. It’s hard to miss the colourfully-painted windows. I recommend shooting as early as ‪7am‬ to avoid the traffic. There will be a short time when both sides of the traffic come to a halt at the traffic lights, so make use of this ‘window period’ for your photoshoot.

Wellness Tip 4 #LexSpreadHappiness - Spend Time Alone. Spending regular time alone helps to get to know yourself, and check in with how you’re doing and what you want, so you can live your most intentional life. Some people enjoy hiking, going for a walk or run, meditating, or even sunbathing as a healthy source of alone time. Do you spend time alone? What’s your favourite activity during your alone time?

I’m back to sharing about conservation shophouses in Singapore. Besides exploring popular photo spots such as Koon Seng Road, Chinatown and Little India for conservation shophouses, why not check out the peaceful neighbourhood around Neil Road? While there are people living in some of the conservation shophouses, the others have been converted into office spaces and eateries. If you have an opportunity to own one of the conservation shophouses, what would you convert it into?

Wellness Tip 3 #LexSpreadHappiness - Think Beyond the Moment. Nothing is urgent unless we attach urgency to it. Take a step back and look at the big picture. How does this relate to your authentic goals and values? Does this need to be top priority? Or does something else better align with what you want and need? Getting out of the moment prevents kinks and prevents damage control down the road.

Reminiscing about our short but enjoyable staycation at @capellasingapore. Jayden and I have been busy with our respective work, but so glad we’ve decided to put our phones away and #maketime for this weekend ‘getaway’! Since you’re not able to travel overseas, why not pamper yourselves with a #Singapoliday weekend at @sentosa_island? Thank you Sentosa Development Corporation for planning our exciting itinerary. Although we had to give AJ Hackett’s bungy, giant swing and skybridge experiences a miss due to the bad weather, we’ll definitely return for these activities another day.

Have you planned anything fun for the weekend? If not, you can discover the hidden gems at Sentosa!

Happy midweek! I’m taking a break from my LexSpreadHappiness campaign to share about my #Singapoliday staycation at @sentosa_island last weekend. In partnership with #SingapoRediscovers, a joint campaign by @stb_sg, @esg.life and the Sentosa Development Corporation to support local lifestyle and tourism business and encourage Singaporeans and residents to explore different sides of Singapore, we bring you the Singapoliday staycation package at @capellasingapore which features an itinerary themed around Heritage Discovery. Jayden and I indulged in hearty meals, discovered Sentosa's fun activities and enjoyed our staycation. Check out our experiences under the Singapoliday Instagram story highlights.

Let's not allow circumstances to deter us from reaching our full potential. Don't wait for bad things in your life to go away. Instead, have a positive attitude and take challenges head on and simply enjoy the journey, like how we've made use of the gloomy and rainy weather for photoshoots.

Have you booked any staycations in your home country yet?

Apart from the hipster places that I’ve previous

Apart from the hipster places that I’ve previously shared, Jalan Besar is a non-touristic hipster district. The most picturesque stretch of old shophouses can be found along Petain Road. The rubber boom from 1900 to 1930 saw newly rich residents start a building frenzy in a bid to show off their wealth. The owner’s wealth was reflected in the extent of facade ornamentation and the usage of European architectural styles and features merged with distinct local influences. The extraordinary combination of plaster reliefs of birds, flowers and other motifs, together with the traditional Malay-fretted eaves, mirrors Singapore’s interracial and multicultural society.

Wellness Tip 2 #LexSpreadHappiness - Communicate Clearly. I’ve grown up being afraid to assert my needs, expectations, goals, and perspective. I’ve always tried to put myself in someone else’s shoes and helped them meet their needs and expectations and chase their goals, but I’m not going to place myself as secondary anymore. It can be exhausting and disappointing when people do not appreciate my time and efforts. Sometimes, I assume that others know where I’m coming from and what I need and expect. But, I have to remember that people are not mind readers. So, I’ve started to voice out about things that I want to accomplish or a boundary that I want observed. Do not suppress your needs, expectations, goals and perspective anymore. Communicating them clearly can actually be a great way to build and strengthen relationships - whether personal or professional. What goals are you chasing in 2020?

Chinatown’s restored shophouses are prime exampl

Chinatown’s restored shophouses are prime examples of Singapore’s timeless architectural appeal. There are many beautiful traditional shophouses to check out in this area. Sometimes, you just need to feel the rain, let it beat upon your face, cleanse your soul and free your spirit. I almost gave up on shooting on this rainy and windy morning, but went ahead eventually and was surprised by how the photo turned out. Have you ever shot in bad weather?

On another note, I hope the happiness and self-motivation tips that I’ve previously shared have helped some of you get through this tough time. I’ve experienced negative emotions and seen my fair share of downtime during the past few months. It made me realise how important it is to take care of my body, mind, emotions and soul in order to have good health and mental wellbeing. Therefore, I’ve decided to share wellness tips from this post onwards. Let’s put in small and consistent efforts daily to enjoy life.

Wellness Tip 1 #LexSpreadHappiness - Ditch Negative Self-Talk. A lot of mental and emotional suffering comes from the way we talk to ourselves in our own minds. Common forms of negative self-talk includes assuming we understand what other people are thinking without any real evidence, being dismissive of our strengths and positive qualities, emotional reasoning and assuming excessive amounts of responsibility even for things not within our control. To counter negative self-talk, change your inner tone of voice, validate your feelings instead of analysing them, and be intentional, not habitual, with your self-criticism.
