Being stuck in Singapore most of 2020, one thing I realised is that we’ve truly taken our own home for granted.
This weekend, I challenged myself to find new experiences or new perspectives to familiar sights. Interestingly, I also noticed many similarities between the experiences I love overseas and in Singapore. While it definitely can’t replace travelling, this fun 2D1N Singapore itinerary is perhaps what we all need to shake up that restless travel bug. Ready?
Singapore Itinerary – Day 1
Start the day in the company of adorable pets
Captured with the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G — ISO 40, 1/184
I love adding a pet cafe or two into my Tokyo or Bangkok itinerary — you can’t help but feel like your day is made when a furry one choose you of all people to sit next to.

If you’re looking for somewhere chill in Singapore, The Cat Cafe is perfect for a quiet afternoon. Home to 15 rescued felines, the cats mostly sleep or chill out in their corners. You’re free to pet and sit by them, but otherwise, they respect your personal space

The best part about holidays is being able to shop with no guilt — you’re on vacation, you can splurge!
If you’re looking for affordable clothes, Bugis Street probably has the widest selection at the most affordable prices. The mall is like a maze, but that’s what makes it fun. Kinda reminds me of shopping in Hong Kong’s Argyle Centre or Bangkok’s Platinum Mall.

Captured with Pro mode on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G — ISO 64, 1/1000

Hidden away in Parkview Square is a bar that takes you back to the Great Gatsby era. ATLAS bar‘s interior makes you feel like you’re in one of Europe’s Art Deco skyscrapers.
The ATLAS gin selection is just as grand as its bar design. A majestic gin tower stands by the entrance carrying 1,000 varieties from all over the world — its oldest bottle dates back to the 1920s. Be spoilt for choice as you discover the unique differences of each!

Head to Fish @ Bugis+ for a fun yet leisurely activity to unwind. The best part? It’s fully air-conditioned! This is the closest you’ll get to midnight fishing in Norway (it’s a stretch, I know).

This unique ramen is not for the faint of heart — the spice hits almost immediately and keeps growing with each mouthful. The tasty broth is addictive despite the growing pains.

Samsung’s All-new Galaxy S20 FE 5G: All you want, to do all you love
Captured with the Zoom function on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G — ISO 25, 1/1139
We want our best moments captured well when on holiday, even if we’re tourists in our own country. Years after this pandemic, it’d be nice to remember how we made the most of the situation.
When travelling, I’m always tempted to only bring my phone — without the extra bulk of my DSLR. But later on regret because there’s only so much you can edit on phone-camera-photos. That’s until we got our hands on the lastest Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G — it’s everything you want in a travel phone.
The battery is long-lasting with 4,500mAh, comes in trendy colours and most importantly, the camera far exceeds what my current phone does.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G’s pro-grade triple-lens camera has functions suited for every occasion. With the touch of a button, zoom in on beautiful moments, or when in tight spaces, zoom out wide to capture more of your surroundings. The best part? You don’t have to be afraid of the dark — you’ll be capturing moments even in ultra-low light.
Captured with the Zoom and Wide functions on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G
What’s more, with the Single Take function, the phone does all the work for you! With 10 seconds of footage, it automatically picks the best shots, giving you a mini gallery of filtered photos, a looped video and a sped-up clip with music — perfect for an Instagram story!
Captured with Single Take Function on the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G — ISO 125, 1/50
Another nifty feature is the phone’s 4K video shooting — from vast landscapes to close-up shots of food, every moment is worth capturing in high resolution. You’ll love replaying your favourite moments on the phone’s 6.5” Infinity-O display with 120Hz refresh rate too!
Photographers especially will enjoy having more control with the ‘Pro’ function. You can tweak the ISO, shutter speed and aperture to get the photo that you want. On top of that, you can save your photos in RAW to retain more detail for editing later.
