ION Sky: Singapore Observation Deck

23 November 2016 in FUN, SINGAPORE

Hello, how are you? I hope November is treating you well. One of my favourite things about November is that Christmas festivities and decorations start popping up everywhere in preparation for my favourite time of the year! :)

*UPDATE: As of October 2017, please take note that after some upgrading, there is now a new multimedia show that is not shown in my photos below and admission is no longer free. Now one admission ticket is redeemable with spending of S$20 in Ion Orchard shopping mall. See the web page link below for all the necessary info.)

Sharing something from Singapore today: a FREE observation deck viewing experience located in Orchard Road, something which I can’t believe I never knew about! I found out about it earlier this summer, while flipping through those free magazines they mail to you and I chanced upon an article called “10 free things to do in Singapore” or something along those lines.

I went to two things on that list by the way, this and the water light show at Marina Bay Sands. LOL, five years away from the countryย and I’ve turned into a tourist! ;) Anyway, touristy or not, I really enjoyed the experience and I wanted to share these city views overlooking Singapore. :)

As this observation deck is located inside Ion Orchard shopping mall (on the 55th floor), which is located in the central Singapore area, the views offered here consisted mostly of Orchard Road and central Singapore. That’s fine by me, because it’s my favourite part of the city. :)

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! ๐Ÿ’ซ 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. ๐Ÿ˜Š

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. ๐Ÿ˜Š It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. ๐ŸŒป

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. ๐Ÿ’–
๐Ÿ€ February 2022 ๐ŸŒป *Feb was such a full month ๐Ÿ€ February 2022 ๐ŸŒป
*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. ๐Ÿ˜Š Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. ๐ŸŒŸ
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies ๐Ÿ’—
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! ๐Ÿ˜„ Ending the month with a thankful heart.
