A journal of exploring Singapore with Alex—our awesomely autistic little adventurer who loves all things that move, from planes to trains to shuttle buses. 🚌

Our weekends are built around simple rides and small discoveries across Singapore neighborhoods, parks and everyday places, with time to play, wander, and just be together. 💞

My philosophy behind this channel:

🗺️ Parenthood changes adventures; it doesn't end them.

💞Being physically active together is another way of bonding.

💗 The memories we create are often more valuable than how much money we spend on them.
❤️ We can celebrate the extraordinary moments hidden within ordinary places. Remember curiosity, togetherness, and presence—not distance or travel expenses—are what make an adventure memorable.

I also plan to write books inspired by my son’s love of adventure; however, this space is currently dedicated to the real memories we’re making together.

Sentosa Night Walk

We planned an evening trip to Sentosa, hoping to see beautiful light decorations. With the Disney Cruise A Magical Island Adventure event taking place at Palawan Beach, we expected the island to be even more magical than usual—and it certainly didn't disappoint. The light displays were beautiful, and we found ourselves enjoying the sights at every turn. We skipped the Magical Island attraction itself, though. The queue was incredibly long, and none of us felt like spending ho

SimplyGo Adventure Quest Pop-up

A few days ago, we saw someone post a short video about the SimplyGo Adventure Quest Pop-up. Knowing our ten-year-old vehicle otaku was almost guaranteed to love it, we immediately added it to our weekend plans. Then the weekend came, and off we went. The pop-up occupied the Level 2 atrium of Bugis+ and was buzzing with visitors. Several people were queuing to buy merchandise, and we saw many families with young children darting between the displays. It was hard to keep track

Random HDB Exploration in Tampines

After leaving Tampines Eco Green, we continued our little adventure by exploring some nearby HDB blocks to indulge Alex's latest fascination—walking along HDB corridors. (I shared more about this unusual hobby in another blog post.) We simply picked the HDB blocks we came across while walking along the edge of the park. Sorry, I don’t remember the name of the estate, but it seemed to be one of the newer ones. The estate had beautiful gardens with well-maintained community spa

Tampines Eco Green

We’ve been to Tampines Eco Green before, but every return visit has been worthwhile. A small piece of nature tucked away in a land of HDBs, it really is a hidden gem for those who love nature. Even the journey there is enjoyable. The route follows a wide park connector bordered by a variety of plants on one side and a large canal on the other. On rainy days, water rushes through the canal between clusters of wild vegetation. After particularly heavy rain, the canal transforms
