When it comes to sight seeing and getting one of the best views of Singapore then heading the to Esplanade, located just north of the Singapore River is considered one of your best options.
Not only you get to see a great view of the city and the Singapore River, it also links up with the famous Merlion, which is a MUST SEE for anyone making a trip down there someday.
Since my schedule was tight, this walk was cut short during that day. My aim was to get a view of the Merlion and head back to City Hall but I seem to have gotten more than that. xD
For any tourists wanting to check out this unique icon, I would recommend taking the train to City Hall and follow the signs to Esplanade from there.

Esplanade -- Theatres on the Bay. Very artistic indeed.
The view of constructions everyone

The surprise of the day was seeing Danny Choo at the Merlion site. Dam I was surprised to see him in person before AFA09 and since I’m more than 6000km away from home, I find this to be a rare opportunity I doubt I will encounter again.
As many of you already know, he was in Singapore for AFA09 and I know he couldn’t pass up in doing his famous ‘trooper dance’ there. ^^
Both videos (Part 1 & 2) is already out so do check it out if you haven’t.

That merlion thing is really cool. If I ever get a chance to go to SG, I’ll be sure to check out that statue.

No merlion shot at night? I went there like 2 times just for day and night merlion shots back in 2007.

Because I didn’t stay long there, I had miss out being there at night. It was a tight schedule overall.
