A Weekend in Singapore

I've been to Singapore several times already but I think it was only now that I am beginning to appreciate the charm of this tiny Southeast Asian country. Efficient, clean, and organized are the perfect adjectives to describe Singapore.

There were still a lot of developments being made around the city. These are something to look forward to in the next few years or so. I also noticed that they are starting to build iconic structures like the Esplanade, Singapore Flyer and the most recent one is the Marina Bay Sands, which has a very interesting architecture. It is an integrated resort which has a hotel, casino, museum and other attractions. There is an infinity pool at the top of the building which I find really interesting but you have to be a guest of the hotel in order for you to have access to it.

I also had a chance to check out Salvador Dali's exhibit at the ArtScience Museum of the Marina Bay Sands. I enjoyed the whole afternoon because I had a very good company and I am looking forward of having more of this type of activity with her. I feel comfortable being with her. Her actions, stories and the things she's passionate about would tell you that she really has a good heart. We're acquaintance since high school but it is only now that we're getting to know each other deeply.

Palace of Versailles

As I am not really good at words, I will just focus on posting pictures.

Palace of Versailles is a suburb of the city of Paris. It can be easily reached by a train. I just forgot how long it took me to get there but it should be less than an hour. If King Louis of France, Marie Antoinette and Treaty of Versailles all sounded familiar to you, then, you know this palace for sure. If you've been to Paris and haven't been to Versailles, these photos will show you what you just missed.
