Turning Three at the Lion City

This month marks my third year of working at the Lion City (without any lion), so I decided to include Singapore in my travel blog, take a look back and reminisce at the adventurous, fruitful and sometimes dramatic years that passed.  I might have sometimes forgotten to be grateful, but yes, Singapore has given me lots of opportunities in different ways — to travel farther, to scratch some items off my bucket list (do yoga, run marathons, invest) to feel both the natural highs and almost-nightmares at work, to watch my fave bands play live (One Rep, Snow P, The Script). The list goes on but for now here are few of my SG photos taken over the past months/years:

My first run: Run for Hope was the first marathon I've joined. Running around Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, even going up and down at Marina Barrage was my best breathtaking (both literally and figuratively!) run ever

The best part of Singapore Botanic Gardens is, of course, its National Orchid Garden, showcasing the finest tropical orchids. Entrance is only $5 for adults.
