Photo Diary: Serene Garden, Gardens by the Bay

13 February 2021 in FUN, SINGAPORE

Hello there! I would say “Hello 2021!” or “Happy New Year”, but it’s been 2021 for a short while now, so let’s go with hello, I hope 2021 is off to a good peaceful start. :) I needed to take a little step back from my blog last month as I’ve had a very full and packed January, in all the best ways. 2021 is off to a wonderful start for me and I sincerely hope that it’ll be a brighter year for you too. :)

I started the new year enjoying a relaxing NYE and long weekend, before returning back to the office for my last day at my previous job. Then I was very blessed to have a short two week break, which was such a luxury to enjoy. I packed my two weeks to the fullest – catching up with friends, ticking off places I’ve been meaning to check out, reading books and tackling everything on my day-to-day life to do list! After that (and this is still within January!), I started at my new job, which is something I’m very happy about!

Overall, I haven’t had much time to slow down, but on weekends I always pause and just enjoy the time off and let myself be, even if a lot of the time, I’m never as productive as I hope to be on the weekends. Anyway, that was just a long-winded way of saying that there’s been a lot going on and I’ve been grabbing moments of pause whenever I find them.

In the theme of slowing down (when possible), I’ve been meaning to share these snapshots from about a year ago now, when I wandered around Serene Garden located within Gardens by the Bay for the first time. It’s a beautiful open air garden attraction that’s inspired by Japanese zen gardens and it’s free to enter! It is incredibly peaceful and such a lovely space, you do sort of feel like you’re somewhere else, until you turn and see the view of Singapore’s CBD skyscrapers in the background. :) I truly love this place!

Have you visited the Serene Garden? I hope you enjoy this virtual wander with me and for everyone celebrating, wishing you a prosperous Chinese New Year and good health and success in the Year of the Ox! 

Before entering Serene Garden, I spotted these very interesting looking trees (or plants?) that looked like a flower filled vase! I love their uniqueness.
We walked up this lovely path to see where it led to and when we got to the top…
…we got to see this view of the unique shaped trees I saw at the beginning of this post!
Ending the post here with a snapshot of these egg shaped floats, these are from the 2019 teamLab Future Together special exhibit! See my post here.
