I landed in Singapore with one plan: chase light. Jewel at Changi set the mood for the whole trip—water, glow, and that soft “welcome to the future” feeling.
Base camp: I checked into Bendemeer (Downtown)—quiet lane, quick rides everywhere.
Food was easy and familiar: near Chinatown and Little India—mushroom fried rice with a parade of non-veg sides. Exactly what I needed.
I moved on to Gardens by the Bay for dusk. The Supertrees felt like a sci-fi forest breathing in slow motion.
Then it was Sentosa time—Universal Studios Singapore calling.
The city was in a celebratory mood—National Day energy in the air and on the skyline.
Back in the park, I met an Autobot and the kid in me grinned wide.
Revenge of the Mummy? Fast, dark, and just scary enough. I laughed on the way out—mostly at myself.
When night fell, I headed to the sea for Wings of Time—water, fire, lasers, and open sky.
Lights kept finding me—another burst of color on water, choreography in the dark.
A little later, I slipped into a café—small pause, warm cup, city humming outside. Then a slow walk through the night.
Across the bay, Marina Bay Sands wore festival colors—reflections doing their own show.
Wrapped the night with a riverfront drift—neon sliding across the water, boats idling, everyone unhurried.
Finally—back to Mumbai with a phone full of light and a head full of rides, gardens, and river reflections.
Quick trail: Bendemeer stay → Gardens by the Bay → USS (Transformers, Mummy) → Wings of Time → night light show → café + city night → Marina Bay → riverfront → home.
