How's your weekend??
Mine? Touristy..!
So last sunday, I went to my very first World-Wide Insta Meet [WWIM] hosted by @exploreSingapore at The Fullerton Heritage.
Together with my friend, we unexpectedly came early -- good for us, we were entitled a free Heritage Trail Tour!
Never knew that Fullerton was such a powerful building that served as post office, and several important ministries simultaneously. Even before that, during British colonial time, it was an important building for the government. Fun fact: during this time -- even as a government property -- it has a private club, billiard room, and several suites! cool, huh?!
Now that! Was a touristy weekend.
Honestly, the first half of the tour was proven not-so-exciting for a lot of participants -- as around 2/3 of them gone before we reached the 'woaaaaahhh' part. It was quite fascinating to me tho! [a foreigner who never really learnt about Singapore's history -- perhaps.]
Now about this woaah part. So as the tour nearing to end, we were brought up to lv. 4, where the billiard room was [now it's a private dining hall], lv. 8 where we have access to Lighthouse -- a luxurious Italian restaurant with wonderful view of Marina Bay area. AND this rooftop wine bar where the wind breeze, and you get a wonderful no-boundaries view of marina bay area.

I'm grateful we came early that day. I mean we made a few new friends there, but to me, the highlight of the event was really the tour. Learnt new things, get the access to such restaurant [not sure when else i can get these kind of opportunity -- honestly].
