Singapore
Moments: Orchard Road
Touch down Singapore! My family and I arrived in Singapore on
December 30, which in the Philippines is a day of celebration for the National
Hero (Jose Rizal). Upon arriving, I immediately noticed the changes in
Singapore. I saw new buildings, new flats, and the Marina Bay. After settling
down in our hotel in Orchard Road, we decided to walk around the area to look
at different shops and also to eat lunch. Well, the last time I went to Singapore (was
when I was in elementary) we didn't go to Orchard or maybe we have but I don’t
really remember it the way I saw it today.

That day I saw a hip and vibrant Orchard Road. Literally, there were
buildings after buildings of shopping malls. If I were a shopaholic it would be
paradise. Left and right you will be able to see well known and loved brands
such as Forever 21, Abercrombie and Fitch, H & M, Burberry, and so much
more. Orchard is a place where you would be able to find merchandise for all
ages. From my observation, there are different classes of malls which I think
is a good thing because then you would be able to buy something with a given
budget.

While walking around, I saw a lot of public art. They were lovely
and interesting! When walking around Orchard Road, or even in Singapore, take
time to appreciate public artworks. Also, take time to look at architectures
because Singapore has a lot of interesting buildings.

We stopped for lunch at 313 Somerset at the Food Republic floor,
which was at the 5th floor or the mall. Food Republic was like a food
court wherein different stalls served different types of cuisine. There were
Japanese, Chinese, Indian, American, Indonesian, Korean, and more. My brother
and I opted for Indian food so we ordered chicken with fried roti, curry sauce,
and salad. My parents opted for Indonesian dishes. When dining in Food Republic
be sure to try their drinks which are usually sold in the carts. Their drinks
are fruit juices and tea… and they’re good and refreshing. I had a lychee drink

After lunch we walked some more. Finally, we got tires of walking so
we went back to the hotel and rested. J
