Life through the lens of a camera

After operating a camera for so long, I have taken countless photos on my different phones. Paired with stories and adventures, I’ve kept my photos which I’ve enjoyed looking at here. After ALL this time, I’m here to finally collate all of my best photos and make a gallery to commemorate my best shots.

To add on, not to flex, but these photos are all unedited, have fun reading!

Labrador Park – A walk by the sea.

Well known for its boardwalks and spectacular view of “Reflections by Keppel Bay,” Labrador Nature Reserve is a common place I revisit to take photos. Often just strolling towards Vivocity and back, the boardwalk and subsequent walk along the front of the condos provides one of the best views in Singapore. Take a look!

Jewel Changi Airport – Worlds former best airport

Singapore Changi Airport is much different from your average airport. It’s a vast building(s) with 4 terminals and a shopping center, which is what we are focusing on. In the heart of Jewel Changi Airport lies a shining jewel (no pun intended), the tallest man-made waterfall in the world, “The Rain Vortex.”

One of my favorite photos also originates from Jewel Changi Airport.

Love it.

Gardens and Satay by the Bay – Park of the future

Easily distinguishable by the two large domes and Supertrees, Gardens by the Bay is a premier horticultural* destination in Singapore. Both domes contain mind-blowing views, but I haven’t been able to wander inside yet. Despite not taking the Supertrees or the view inside both domes, I have some other photos that display the beauty of nature present here.

*Horticultural – Relating to the art or practice of garden cultivation or management

Marina Bay – Icon of our Garden City

The proud towers of Marina Bay Sands hoist up a SkyPark, and a statue represents a mermaid and lion hybrid. The Merlion and Marina Bay Sands are iconic locations that anyone can name in a heartbeat. Initially, an ocean turned into reclaimed land where the hotel sits now; architect Moshe Safdie created this towering resort, which slowly became an icon of Singapore’s spectacular architecture.

Boat Quay – A slice of past life

A road lined with shops and restaurants, Boat Quay (pronounced “kee”) is situated along the Singapore River, a brick road stretched along the river with F&B establishments dotted around. The streets and style of the buildings give it the feel like we had stepped in the past, back in the days when skyscrapers weren’t popping up left, right, and center.

Singapore Botanical Gardens – Learning Forest

A large nature reserve consisting of many different small parks, Singapore Botanical Gardens is a prime place to observe and wander around the nature of Singapore. Consisting of a lake, orchard garden, and even a beautiful gazebo, Singapore Botanical Gardens is a place that should be high on everyone’s “to-do list.”

Vivocity – Singapore’s largest shopping mall

The largest shopping mall in Singapore, Vivocity is situated next to the river between Sentosa. They even have a bridge that connects there! The shopping mall boardwalk provides a great view of Resorts World Sentosa, and it’s full of people almost daily!

Sentosa – Island of fun

Sentosa not only consists of a resort and “theme park” for the family, but it is also a beach that Singaporeans visit very often. The island is often referred to as an island of fun, consisting of many different attractions that we all know and love.

One said attraction is the “Southernmost point of Continental Asia.” Despite not being factually correct (Google it!), it is a top-rated tourist attraction that people love to visit and hang out at. The island is connected to Sentosa by a shaky bridge, with said island consisting of flowers, towers, and a lot of trees.

Jurassic Mile 2 – Blast to the Past

Changi’s Jurassic Mile is located along the stretch of Changi Airports’ Connector, consisting of many dinosaurs that anyone can admire. The stretch of path along Changi Airport houses many different life-sized dinosaur sculptures, consisting of the T-Rex, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor, and Spinosaurus. It is a popular place for cyclists and budding *Palaeontologists to want to experience dinosaurs!

*Palaeontologist – A scientist concerned with fossils of animals and plants

Singapores’ Staycations – Crowne Plaza

During the time of Covid-19, going overseas for a vacation was impossible, so people created the act of “Going for a Staycation.” Going on a staycation means visiting a hotel in your country instead of going overseas! Singapore has many different hotels that aren’t only sectioned off to tourists, and we can also visit them!

One such hotel is Crowne Plaza, a hotel near Jewel Changi Airport, which was previously mentioned. The hotel is beautiful and sure to be eyed by tourists looking for a stay or Singaporeans.

Haw Par Villa – A slice of Chinese culture

Haw Par Villa is a popular theme park in Singapore, showing a lot of our Chinese culture. From mythologies to legends to folklore, Haw Par Villa is considered part of Singapore’s unique cultural heritage. It is a unique place you won’t find anywhere else in Singapore.

Henderson Waves – Gem of Mount Faber

Being the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore, towering 36 meters above the road (if you can even count it as a pedestrian bridge.) Henderson Waves’ attractive design has brought many tourists to travel there, not only for the park but to “ride the waves.” The bridge has a fantastic view of the aforementioned “Reflections of Keppel Bay.”

Orchard Road – The Bustling Heart of Shoppers

Abbreviated simply as Orchard, Orchard Road is a 2.5km stretch lined with famous shopping centers and every shop you could ever hope for. Often bustling full of people window shopping and basking in the sunlight, Orchard Road is known for its attractiveness to practically everyone, hence the crowds stretching for miles

Haji Lane – Vibrance Galore

And who could forget. One of the single most popular photo ops in Singapore, Haji Lane is a vibrant lane consisting of many businesses. Each of these lanes is lined with pop art and a tonn of people. The center of attention is the Sultan Mosque, the most famous mosque in Singapore; who could’ve guessed?

This tourist attraction became so popular that the road that was once going through Haji Lane has been blocked off to make the area just a bit safer for people wandering the area.

SST – The School of Science and Technology

The Secondary school I currently study in, SST is a beautiful school all about active learning and shaping our future. The school is a fantastic place for learning, and it’s also very nice to wander around. Besides, we’re all here for the photos.

Lexis Hibiscus – A jewel of Port Dickson

Leaving Singapore for our final destination, we arrive in Malaysia. After going to multiple places in Malaysia, Genting Highlands included, I have determined that this is my favorite resort. Lexis Hibiscus is located in the town of Port Dickson and is a JEWEL. The arrangements of the pool villas and the services provided there are excellent.

I have stayed in both their pool and sky villas, located on the water and in a tower, respectively, and the views there are equally impressive. Take a look!

Closing Words

After writing all of this, I realize how much I’ve improved in photography (in my opinion.) A lot of time has passed since I started taking photos on my phone, and 2 years since I started this blog! I intend to continue taking pictures and posting them on this blog, following up with my stories, and perhaps even getting a professional DSLR.

Ever since Covid restrictions have eased up, I hope to go to other places overseas and take pictures there while still adventuring around Singapore. I hope that the people who have read this blog (if any) have enjoyed it in any way possible, whether to admire it or just to read some bad writing.


Have a nice day, everyone!! I hope you enjoyed the post!
