Visit Singapore

  KADA used to be a small hospital. Now, because this is Singapore, it is a (another) Mall .  It is right next to Maxwell Food Centre, so pop in after you've checked out Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice and other hawker offerings at the food centre.

 As mentioned in the post on "Things to do in Singapore", there is a new park in the Mandai Reserves - Rainforest Wild! From the video description: Rainforest Wild Asia opened to public on 12th March 2025, it is the newest addition to the Singapore MANDAI Reserve, joining the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, River Wonders and Bird Paradise. This makes it currently the world's newest zoo, and is also Asia's first adventure-based zoological park. Do drop by if you are looking to fill your time during the March school holiday! The park concept is interesting, the 36 species of animals are housed in pretty spacious homes, with most viewpoint closer to the animals compared to conventional glass-up enclosures.

 The Changing of the Guard at the Istana is carried out every first Sunday of the Month. The Istana (Palace in Malay) is the official residence and office of the President of Singapore. Every first Sunday of the Month , there is the ceremonial Changing of the Guard with a parade, military band, and precision drill.
