Singapore ranked fifth most expensive city in Asia
SINGAPORE: Singapore is now the fifth most expensive city in Asia, according to Mercer Worldwide Cost of Living Survey.
ADVERTISEMENT
Singapore’s rise in rankings is partly due to the appreciation of the Singapore dollar against the US dollar.
Other contributing factors include its high quality of living and continued strength as a regional hub.
Tokyo is the costliest Asian city, followed by Seoul, Hong Kong and Osaka.
In world standings, Singapore is in 13th position, one notch higher than in 2007.
Moscow was ranked the most expensive city both in Europe and globally for the third year running.
Mercer’s survey covered 143 countries across six continents. — CNA/de

Clarke Quay
Shop, eat and be entertained by the riverside! Featuring five blocks of restored warehouses, Clarke Quay offers a quirky alternative to mainstream attractions, with second-hand and antique shops and restaurants with an amazing array of F&B options. In the evenings, dance clubs and pubs come alive with music from the 1960s to the present.
Named after Sir Andrew Clarke, Singapore's second governor, Clarke Quay had been the commercial centre, where an unending stream of lighters would transport their goods upriver to the warehouses. Near the entrance to Clarke Quay on River Valley Road is Whampoa's Ice House which belonged to Hoo Ah Kay, an early immigrant from Whampoa, China who imported ice from Boston in the mid-1800s before ice-making facilities were available in Singapore. Note how the Chinese and European merchants brought their own architectural styles to the area.
Or get your dose of adrenaline rush with the G-Max Reverse Bungy! Designed and developed in New Zealand eight years ago, the G-Max is Singapore’s first extreme ride. It involves up to three people being seated in a specially designed open air steel reinforced capsule, attached by US-approved bungy cords to two towers. The cords are tightened and then released, catapulting the capsule up to 60m in the air at speeds of 200kph. The ride lasts for about 5 minutes.

Orchard Road
Orchard Road supposedly got its name from the orchards and plantations that existed in the area until the turn of the 20th century. In the 1900s, a mysterious disease swept through the nutmeg plantations, wiping them out within a year. Because of its location in a valley, floods were also common. They were only controlled in 1965 when Stamford Canal - part of which runs below the pedestrian mall fronting Wisma Atria Shopping Centre today - was deepened and widened.

Chinese Garden @Jurong East
Step into the Chinese Garden and you might just imagine you’re in ancient China! Built in 1975 and designed by Prof Yuen-chen Yu, a well-known architect from Taiwan, the Chinese Garden is modeled along the northern Chinese imperial style of architecture and landscaping.
You will first be greeted by the “Pai Hung Ch'iao” (meaning “white rainbow bridge”) which follows the style of the 17-Arch Bridge at the Summer Palace in Beijing.
Upon crossing the bridge, you will see a typical Chinese arch building which contains two courtyards and a fishpond.
Apart from buildings, gardens too are a constant motif in the Chinese Garden. Around the Chinese pavilion, plateau and tower are woven plants, rocks, a winding stream and footpaths, to create a harmonious scene.
A Suzhou-style Bonsai Garden, built at a cost of SGD 3.8 million, houses some 1,000 bansais imported mostly from China. A Bonsai Training Centre will be launched with resident experts from Shanghai and Suzhou to teach visitors the delicate art of caring for bonsai.

Where to shop: Sim Lim Square
You may be an eager techie an ordinary bargain hunter or a professional, but if its an IT gadget or electronic item you are looking for, chances are, you will find it a short walk from Little India or Bugis at Sim Lim Square. Very much an ELECTRONIC and IT HUB, this complex is busy, bustling loud and colourful. But more importantly, prices of its products are highly competitive.

Professional needs are served here with very sophisticated cameras and recording equipment readily available.
The third to sixth levels are given to all-things IT. Tech-savvy locals throng the long corridors of computer shops with bargain-hunting tourists, searching for components, gadgetry games, repairs and software updates.

The final capsule was installed on 2 October 2007, the observation wheel started rotating on February 11, 2008 and it officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008.

Located on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it offers broad views of the city centre and beyond to about 45 kilometres, including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia.

This is the longest detour that I came across with.
Made my head swirl by walking thru this make-shift passageway due to ongoing constructions @Somerset MRT.
I estimated to be around on this for more than 20 minutes and thought it will never end.
