FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF SINGAPORE (I COULD LIVE HERE) 🇸🇬
It is my first time here in Singapore so I give you my first impressions of Singapore. I am so impressed by how clean, modern, efficient and beautiful this country is. I could definitely move to Singapore! We visit Marina Bay Sands, East Coast Hawker Stall, Gardens By The Bay, Lau Pa Sat, and Haji Lane. This vlog is 24 hours in Singapore so is a good travel guide if you're only here for a short trip.

U can find cheap food in local hawker center and so-call coffee shop. Even when they are cheaper it don't compromise in term of the taste and quality. Welcome to Singapore and enjoy!
Singapore is so high up on our list!! Hope you had an amazing birthday ❤

To be honest, I have lived in London for over a year in Canary Wharf with my partner and there are many things in Singapore which are cheaper than London. Transportation is very expensive in the UK and food wise, you can get a decent meal for like SGD 3 which is like less than GBP 2. I don't think you can find in the UK. Also for coffee, try the local Kopi (coffee in local Hokkien dialect) and costs like SGD 1ish.

Hi , Welcome to Singapore. Lau Pa Sat is actually directly translated from Hokkien , a dialect meaning Lau = Old n Pa Sat = Market. Enjoy Singapore Cheers

Pa Sat is actually derived from Pasar in Malay, so it's both Hokkien and Malay in origin.

Lau Pasat is a Chinese Hokkien Dialect literally meaning 'Old Market'. It used to be a 'wet' market selling meat, fish and vegetables, and located right in the middle of Singapore's financial district. Hence, it is probably more lucrative to turn it into a food court.
Happy Bday and glad you enjoyed the day. It is a advanced city for sure. Be safe

4 : 38 In Malaysia places like this is called Medan Selera (Food Center). Anyway enjoy your time in Singapore, it looks so much different now. So many new buildings I don't recognize. I love the chicken rice in Singapore, when I was growing up Malaysians always said Singapore have the best chicken rice. Of coz there is so much more.
Manufactured in UK (Glasgow maybe) Victorian style and there is a British clock that chimes every hour on the hour.
We have our coffee for $2!.local brew n keep you awake for whole day!. Thank you for visiting.
Just had three weeks there . Beautiful city . 50m swimming pool next door to my hotel, 70p a visit , fab running routes , great veg food .
Prices depend on where and what you buy. You could buy coffee at $1-$2.50 from coffeeshops/hawkers. If you want bistro kind of coffee, prepare to folk out $4.50 and above.
Go to tier 1 city in China. Bikes are easily accessible. Very clean, super safe and easy to get around from City to City.
Try eating n drink coffee from our hawker centre next time. It's cheap n nice. Remember to request the taste you want for your coffee when u r there. Exp...less/more sweet, with / without sugar , milk, ice or no ice...Ur choice . You won't regret.
Welcome to Singapore! Hope you had a hellova fun time! Come back anytime.

Thanks for this wonderful video n for sharing your first impressions of Singapore. Lovely.
8:23 That's Teh Tarik (pulled tea). It's done to lower the tea's temperature. You came at a good time, because even though it's the rainy season, keeping you nice and cool with those cloudy skies, it didn't actually rain, as it would have lasted hours, ruining your day. I guess the weather made nice for your birthday!
Next time try the local coffee, it is less than S$2.00 😊 ( to name afew, Toast box, Ya Kun, Killiney Kopitiam, and Breadtoast )
Happy belated birthday... from everyone in Spore
Wow the cycling must have made u guys hungry!! u guys ordered alot of food! 😮
U guys should eat at maxwell nearby to cbd area. The food u ate at gardens by the bay is expensive and not nice. Maxwell is cheaper. U guys should do some research
Happy birthday Skye. Huge celebrations by the looks. It's been a while since I tuned in and I thought I'd congratulate you on some substantial channel growth which is soooo deserved. Last time I watched a video of yours (been otherwise occupied) you were in North Vietnam racing around that magnificent road having a great time, and the subbies just under 9k. Now doubled - just wow. Good on you Skye ! I'm so happy for you 🤩
The places you have been (and eating at) are quite touristy. It's a lot more expensive than it has to be.

Glad u had a good time celebrating your 25th bday. I assume your female friend is somewhat familiar with the local spots in SG? I see that u spent most of yr time in the Central Business District. Perhaps next time u come, try to avoid the more expensive downtown spots where prices are understably more "expensive". Just take a few MRT stations down the line (East?) where u will find more variety and less-expensive food and drinks. Overall - glad u came.
Lau Pa Sat......a bigger & better version of Borough Market 😅😅
Huhuhu...i think you should stay and work in Johor, Malaysia or you can plan your retirement in Malaysia...you can go to Singapore everyday if you stay at Johor Bharu...Singapore is definitely way cleaner and more developed, but it's so small and the living cost is insane especially in terms of property like a house...even Singaporeans usually shopping in Johor Bharu 😂😂

Singapore food is considered cheap compared with advanced counties. One thing to note unlike other southeast Asia countries, you don't need to be surprised how advanced they are. They know they are first world country. Previously Singaporeans look up Caucasian but not now so please behave well here in Singapore.

In SG everything is artificial, nobody true, depression all over, a harsh routine to prolong the consumerism of malls with air conditioning, Malaysia deserved better, the port ($ and transport bizz) is the key of this story. It is a small artificial box with low-cost employees from poor Asian countries of surrounding real countries. After this, we should see that high QIs, are served by the lows ones.

Happiness should be from within you n not rely on the exterior to determine your happiness...maybe thought they can be happy by buying a big car or a nice expensive watch but after a while, they are back to feeling down again
