10 Things I Love About My Trip To Pulau Ubin


Once in a while, I enjoy going out of urban Singapore and get in touch with nature and the quieter parts of Singapore. Sometimes, I head to the parks, sometimes I head to the beaches and sometimes, I head to Singapore's 'off-the-beaten' paths. Back in March 2014, me and a group of friends decided to take things to a higher level by heading to Pulau Ubin, a Singapore island which consists of Singapore's last kampongs (or villages) and has a rustic charm to it which represents how Singapore looks like back in the old days. In this article, I want to share with you 10 things I love about my trip to Pulau Ubin and hopefully, I can convince you to go to Pulau Ubin for a short getaway.

An Experiment: SMRT Bus Road Trip


I've always used public transport to get from one place to another and despite disruptions that happen from time to time, I find Singapore's public transport system successfully gets the job done for most of us. The public transport system (Bus and MRT) are mainly operated by two operators, SBS Transit (established in 1973 as the Singapore Bus Service) and SMRT (established in 1982 as Trans Island Bus Service or TIBS). As SBS Transit bus services are commonly seen in Singapore compared to SMRT bus services like in my estate, I wanted to challenge myself by travelling around the Singapore city using just SMRT buses and I call it the SMRT Bus Road Trip. Why? Because it's something that I've always wanted to do. Here's my experience of this so-called 'experiment'.

Unforgettable Moments at the Singapore Garden Festival 2014

 
Recently, I scored a free ticket to the Singapore Garden Festival that was held at Gardens By The Bay on the 16th of August. It's an annual show that showcases all kinds of beautiful floral and botany displays. Usually, it's held at the nearby Suntec Convention Centre but this year, they moved to the Gardens By The Bay's Flower Dome conservatory which suits the nature of the event. Don't worry if you missed the event as I have tons of photos and I'll share my experience of the Singapore Garden Festival right here. Scroll down to find out more.

Highlights of the 2014 National Day Parade



During the month of August, Singapore celebrated its 49th year of independence. As usual, a big birthday bash was held at the Marina Bay area to celebrate the wonderful occasion, and for the very first time, I finally scored tickets to the parade thanks to successful balloting. It's the first time I attended the National Day Parade [NDP] (Not including the Primary 5 NE Show I attended few years back) and I can't wait to share with you all the awesome stuff that happened during the signature event.

Gardens By The Bay East - Frenzeelo TV (VIDEO)



Everybody has heard of Gardens By The Bay. I'm sure you have visited the place at least once, right? Well, did you know that Gardens By The Bay is made out of three gardens? One is called Bay South which is the main gardens and the biggest while another is called Bay Central which is still under construction and the other one, the one that opened first, is called Bay East. Gardens By The Bay East is a garden located nearer to the Tanjong Rhu area and features all sorts of great features and amenities like jogging tracks, ponds, great-looking shelters and a beautifully-designed visitors centre. It's a great place to spend your weekends away and it's also a great place to enjoy an unobstructed view of the city centre. Plus, the gardens itself is functional. Find out more in the latest episode of Frenzeelo TV, the show about the best of Singapore on video.

Zoos in Singapore - Singapore Zoo


Previously, I have been to two zoos and even talked about them right here at Frenzeelo. They're the Jurong Bird Park and the recently published, River Safari. Now, I'm going to talk about the very first zoo in Singapore and also the very first one I have visited in my life which is the Singapore Zoo formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens. In this article, I will talk about my experience at the Singapore Zoo when I visited the place in early January after my visit to the River Safari and I will also talk about the changes that took place since my last visit back in 2005.

Zoos in Singapore - River Safari


We all have heard of the three zoos in Singapore before like the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and the Jurong Bird Park, right? Now, there's a new zoo in town and it's called the River Safari. Despite it being called a 'river', it's actually not located in a river. It's at a reservoir. Technically, it's a new zoo modelled after famous rivers from around the world and it's located right in between the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari and it's also right inside the Upper Seletar Reservoir. A wide array of wildlife and fun attractions are available as well such as the Amazon River Quest, Giant Panda Forest, Amazon Flooded Rainforest and so much more. Below are details on what this new zoo is all about and what you should expect when you visit this remarkable place. Just to let you know, when I mention the word 'zoo' in this article, I am mainly referring to the River Safari.

Celebrate December 2013 at the Esplanade


December is commonly known as the last month of the year. It's also the month where a lot of people will be preparing for the year end festivities like Christmas and the month where everyone will be scrambling to write down New Year goals and prepare for the New Year. Since a lot of public places in Singapore commemorate the December year end festivities with various events, I have decided to check out one of the events to celebrate the year end as well. I went to the Esplanade Theatres the day after Christmas and checked out this event called Celebrate December. Want to know what it's all about? Scroll down below or click Read More.

Frenzeelo TV - Episodes in 2013


Back in 2013, I have produced several episodes of Frenzeelo TV which is a web show where I go around places in Singapore and checking out local events like Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and the Halal Food Expo. What I have done was that even though I have uploaded new episodes to my YouTube channel, I did not post the latest episodes right here on the Frenzeelo blog which is kind of ironic since this is the official blog and I'm supposed to show you all the episodes here before going to my YouTube channel. What I shall do now is that I will be showing you all the episodes of Frenzeelo TV in 2013 after the Halal Food Expo episode to let you know that Frenzeelo TV is still alive and kicking. Here are some of the episodes that I have uploaded in 2013 so far.

There was this article that I wrote about the Punggol Waterway, a manmade waterway located in the heart of Punggol East and another about the Punggol Promenade Riverside Walk located near Popeyes Chicken and near the Lorong Halus Wetland. Now, I will be talking about Punggol Point Park also known as Punggol Beach which has recently undergone renovations and has been turned into a lifestyle park. Find out more about this park by clicking Read More or scroll down.

Happy 2nd Birthday Frenzeelo!


I hope you enjoyed the first week of the new year in January and I hope you enjoyed the holidays in December! Today, on the 8th of January 2014, is the 2nd birthday of Frenzeelo. That's right, Frenzeelo is in its second year and it's getting better and better each year. Two years ago, on the 8th of January 2012, I started Frenzeelo with the aim of sharing my personal outings around Singapore with the photos taken with my smartphone and digital camera. Every month, I will be writing some posts about the places that I have visited or maybe fun public events that I have attended.

Not only that, I also made use of video and made videos showing my experiences of different places around Singapore with my video series, Frenzeelo TV. Thank you very much for your support for the past 2 years and I hope that I still get to write a birthday message for Frenzeelo in 2015 and the next coming years. Till then, keep enjoying my fresh and new content! More stuff will be coming soon and a complete redesign of Frenzeelo will come soon as well.
