We try to wrap up our work early everyday to evade those heavy traffic hours, but sadly we get stuck in the jam. Well, in Sentosa, you can easily spend hours looking at the picturesque view from the legendary icon - Sentosa Merlion. This majestic 37-metre-tall half lion half fish attracts visitors from all around the world and is considered the guardian of Singapore’s prosperity.

We usually come back home tired, grab a quick bite and rush to bed. Some late night social media scrolling makes us envious of our friends’ check-ins and we start dreaming about our own trips. Make this a thing of the past by heading to Sentosa where you can round off the day by watching Wings of Time, an award-winning outdoor show set against the majestic open sea and get stunned by the presentation of water display, laser show, fire effects and spectacular music. After the show, you can simply relax and chill out with a drink at one of the beach bars with cool sea breeze along the beach.
