My 2nd time out of the country, actually my 1st also happened this year...its fun walking around a new place even if it hurts your feet. Tried to capture the new sceneries as much as i could...
Singapore is like a much much bigger Makati, man made structures abound...their beaches sucks hehe, the people are a mixture of nationalities, Chinese, Indian, Caucasian and Malays...lots of shopping mall, consumerism capital of South East Asia I think hehe...
I like their transportation system, its not hard going from one place to another...we stayed at Geylang Road, which i found out later and actually witnessed, was the red light district in Singapore...
By 6:00pm, girls are already lined up in the streets, brothels are lit up like christmas tree...
I had fun, seen many Filipinos working there also, service crew and professionals alike, hmmm what more? the chicks are very sophisticated sort of what you'll call "sossy and fashionista" here...hehe
So there...I never got to taste the world renowned "Singapore Sling" though...

 | bakit parang mag isa ka lang? |
|   tanong lang me..bakit Merlion ang sybol ng Singapore?  since i work at askmenow.com i must as well answer your question
per wikipedia:
"Based on the Singapore Tourism Board's publicity campaign, the lion head and fish body of the (merlion) creature recalls the story of the legendary Sang Nila Utama, who saw a lion while hunting on an island, en route to Malacca. The island eventually became the sea port of Temasek, a precursor to Singapore."
also
"Edwin Thumboo cemented the iconic status of the Merlion as a personification of Singapore with his poem Ulysses by the Merlion in 1979."
But it never went smoothly without some controversy
"Due to Thumboo's status as Singapore's unofficial poet laureate and the nationalistic mythmaking qualities of his poetry, future generations of Singaporean poets have struggled with the symbol of the Merlion, frequently taking an ironic, critical, or even hostile stand - and pointing out its artificiality and the refusal of ordinary Singaporeans to accept a tourist attraction as their national icon. The poem "attracted considerable attention among subsequent poets, who have all felt obliged to write their own Merlion (or anti-Merlion) poems, illustrating their anxiety of influence, as well as the continuing local fascination with the dialectic between a public and a private role for poets, which Thumboo (as Yeats before him, in the Irish context) has wanted to sustain as a fruitful rather than a tense relation between the personal and the public." Among the poems of this nature are "Merlign" by Alvin Pang and "Love Song for a Merlion" by Vernon Chan."
