12 Things People Who Hate Mornings Go Through Every Single Day
Everyone knows the scene in the movies whereby waking up seems to be a dreamy and cheery process. But if you are reading, you probably know that it is far from the truth.
1. The daily struggle to even get out of bed

Except anything related to coffee or food.
6. The daily battle travelling to work
Squeezing in the MRT trains in the morning is the second WORST part of every morning for you. (the first is waking up)
When you see this every morning, you ask yourself why you do this to yourself.

9. Coffee is your only BFF in the morning
Nope sorry, not even your mum, best friend or significant other can make you feel better in the morning.
Only coffee will.
“Uncle, one Kopi-O gao!”
[caption id="attachment_2790" align="alignnone" width="480"] Image credit: Image credit: Image credit: tumblr[/caption]At least you are productive at night right?
12. The happiest part of the day is when you are finally reunited with your bed
Bedtime! 🙂
What gift to buy for my foreign friends ah? Thinking of a gift to get is hard work. What more a meaningful gift that exudes Singaporean charm. Fret not, we’ve compiled a list of The Most Singaporean Gifts You Could Get For Your Foreign Friends. Don’t forget to watch their reaction when they receive it! Singlish is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely Singaporean things that fascinate foreigners. Give your foreign friends an opportunity to learn a new (Singlish) word a day with this $INGLI$H notebook. It’s such a practical, fun, and extremely Singaporean gift. Plus, the black and gold hardcover makes it look so atas, they’ll probably take to Instagram to show it off in a #flatlay. A traditional Chinese delicacy, get your foreign friends a squishy cushion shaped like an Ang Ku Kueh for their home. Better yet, gift this auspicious glutinous rice cake plushie during the Chinese New Year season to wish them good luck. Recognise this old-school Singaporean favourite biscuit? Love SG has recreated them in the form of this classy gold salt & pepper shaker, with separable icing and biscuit portions to hold salt/ pepper. This makes a great present for Masterchef wannabes and lovers of whimsical gifts alike. While you’re at it, get your friends the original iced gems snack too! Chances are, you’ve taken your foreign friends out for the well-loved Nasi Lemak before. And now they can take the aromatic local favourite back home (well, kind of) with this creative tea made by the local company ETTE TEA. It may not recreate the exact taste, but for a tea, it comes in pretty close, with ingredients including dried pandan, coconut flakes, and even dried chili. Get some ideas on where to take your visiting foreign friends here: Only have 1 day in Singapore? Here are the some must visit food places- for all budgets! Here’s another uniquely Singaporean taste that you can gift your foreign friends, and it’s the first of its kind. Straits Preserves has bottled up the flavour of Singapore’s famous cocktail into a citrusy marmalade with a hint of cherry. This would be perfect for those who have fallen in love with the Singapore Sling. What better way to tempt your foreign friends to come back to Singapore than with a tag that’ll remind them of Singapore whenever they travel? Extra street cred for them if they have actually visited all the places on the tag! Which is your favourite Singaporean gift? And let us know if we missed out any distinctly Singaporean gift ideas too! https://www.facebook.com/discover.sg.official/posts/1962280107331015

Annoying Singlish Phrases Only Those Born In the 90s Will Understand!
Till today I’m sure most of you still remember the stupid things that you used to do as a child. But growing up in Singapore, many of us have picked up all sorts of funny Singlish phrases in school or at the playground hor?
So today, we will take you down memory lane to some of the ridiculous and funny Singlish phrases you used to say. Something to refresh your memory lah.
1. Neh Neh Ni Poo Poo
You probably recited that in a sing-song manner in your head.
Remember those good ol’ days when you played catching with your friends at the playground? This was one of those annoying-as-hell taunting tunes that ignited your determination to catch that person so you can provoke him instead.
[caption id="attachment_2428" align="alignnone" width="500"] Photo credit: Photo credit:Meaning: Someone lookin’ stylish (stylo) and good.
How did you use it?: “Wah, Justin Bieber so Stylo Milo leh, I want to be like him when I grow up.”
4. Abuden
Many a times, we meet people who just like to ask stupid questions and say obvious.
[caption id="attachment_2666" align="alignnone" width="500"] Image credit:Xiao Ming: “Can borrow?”
Xiao Li:
[caption id="attachment_2440" align="alignnone" width="500"] Photo credit: tumblr[/caption]
5. Copycat, Kiss the rat, Go home let your mother slap
Another sing-song tune that somehow rhymed in a weird way. Nonetheless, you still enjoy reciting it whenever the opportunity arises just because it was super catchy and annoying.
[caption id="attachment_2443" align="alignnone" width="284"] Photo credit:We all have this friend who seem like they could have ADHD because they just simply can’t sit still, so they start doing things to entertain themselves.
And most of the time, you can imagine that it doesn’t end as planned.
[caption id="attachment_2668" align="alignnone" width="360"] Image credit: Image credit: Image credit:
Those were the days where it was an effective threat for your friends when they did something that you didn’t like. Ahhh…don’t you wish you could still say this IRL without getting judged.
Meaning: “I don’t want to be your friend anymore if you continue to do that.”
How did you use it: “You know I hate Xiao Ming but you talked to him, I don’t friend you liao!!”
If you remember using all of these in your childhood, I would like to declare that you, my friend, are a true blue Singaporean.
Do you still remember other Singlish phrases you used to say?

12 Peculiar Things Only NTU Students Will Nod Silently In Agreement
Welcome to Pulau NTU, the uluest university in Singapore. If you’ve studied there, you’d surely be familiar with these 12 peculiar things only NTU students will understand.
1. Travelling to school
You used to think that Singapore is small until you live in East and you would rather travel to Pulau Ubin instead.
No matter where you live, unless you stay in hall, you dread and groan inwardly on a daily basis when you think about travelling to NTU. Or rather Pulau NTU, the most ulu university in Singapore.
2. When it rains, it floods…?
[caption id="attachment_2311" align="alignnone" width="960"] Photo credit: The Nanyang Chronicles Facebook page[/caption]This has probably only happened a few times, but where else would you get to experience a free wading pool in school?
Exclusively at NTU’s North Spine.
3. “Eh wanna supper at Ah Lian?”
Your stomach is growling furiously at 2am and nothing’s open? Maybe its a sign to jio your hall friends to Ah Lian to satisfy those late-night hunger pangs!
[caption id="attachment_2318" align="alignnone" width="700"] Photo credit: Photo credits: Photo credit: Photo credits: SGAG[/caption]It has become a must to pray and give offerings to the almighty bell curve god.
That is if you don’t want to ‘tank’ the bell curve.
7. Wearing home clothes to school
What’s more comfy than wearing dry-fit school t-shirts and flip flops to school?
I’m definitely not saying that all NTU students dress like that, but with the halls conveniently located within campus itself, NTU students tend to dress more casually than their NUS/SMU counterparts.
[caption id="attachment_2338" align="alignnone" width="500"] Photo credit: Photo credits: Photo credit: Image credit: Photo credit: Photo credit: Photo credit: Photo credit:Pantone Color:狮城暖系摄影师,你看过这样的新加坡吗?
你知道吗?色彩权威 Pantone 每年都会发表该年的代表颜色,2015年的 Marsala玛萨拉酒红色,确实掀起一阵浪潮。从唇彩到时尚配件,总少不了酒红色的出现。而在去年年底,Pantone公布了2016年的代表色——Rose Quartz (PANTONE 13-1520) 和 Serenity (PANTONE 15-3919) 。玫瑰石英粉紅色和宁静蓝色,给与人一种温柔和谐的感觉。而小编也发现到这位拥有强烈个人风格的本土摄影师——Nguan,拍摄了一系列不为人知、另一面的新加坡。
Singapore Museums Are Boring? These 5 Museums Will Prove You Wrong!
Boring, dead and irrelevant. These are probably the three most common words associated with museums. As history junkies, we’d stab anyone who says museums are boring and defend the reputation of museums with our lives.
In all seriousness, not all local museums are established with the sole purpose of telling the Singapore story. In fact, not only do some museums have nothing to do with History, they are also fun and interactive. Not convinced? Listed below are five alternative museums you must know about. If none of them surprises or in the very least intrigues you, we’d eat our hats.
1. The Cat Museum
[caption id="attachment_1751" align="alignnone" width="750"] Image Credit: Instagram @tapeitoff[/caption]Yes, you read it right the first time; a cat museum.
Nestled in the heart of Purrrr-vis Street is the three-story cat mansion that houses all things cat related. Besides surrounding you with at least 20 cats and kittens, the museum actually encourages you to adopt and bring a furry friend home. Take that cat cafés! But before you rush down to grab yourself a feline friend, do note that some of the most gorgeous felines are residential cats and are not up for adoption.
If being a cat lady has never been in your radar, this museum will have you seriously consider it.

2. Singapore Philatelic Museum
[caption id="attachment_1768" align="alignnone" width="740"] Image Credit: YourSingapore.com[/caption]Before you roll your eyes at the possibility of visiting a stamp museum, hear us out.
The first of its kind in Southeast Asia, this museum, besides exquisite stamp collections, also houses exhibits held in conjunction with current events. One of the current exhibits, With Love from Snoopy, Charlie Brown & the Peanuts Gang, for instance, not only acquaints you with the characters but also enables you to send letters and postcards to Charlie and gang. For the history junkies, discover Singapore’s tribulations and achievements over the past 50 years as told by stamps unique to the decades.
If you’re not already a pen and paper person, this museum experience will make you want to bring snail mail back.

3. The Intan Peranakan Museum
[caption id="attachment_1764" align="alignnone" width="750"] Image Credit: stories.cromly.com[/caption]Blending into a row of colonial shop houses at Joo Chiat, it’s unsurprising for many to miss out on this unassuming museum. Previously a residential house, owner Alvin Yap recommissioned the space into a haven for Peranakan culture. Think you know all about the Peranakans from binge-watching The Little Nonya? An experiential tour at The Intan will have you realise that the TV series barely scratched the surface of the rich culture. We welcome you to step through the wooden doors, into embroidered beaded shoes and back to the ‘30s, where you’ll witness the full glory of the forgotten heritage.

4. Museum Of Independent Music
[caption id="attachment_1773" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Image Credit: Sg.asia-city.com[/caption]Ac-chording (see what we did there) to this one of a kind museum, the Museum of Independent Music documents not only the history of Singapore’s indie music scene but also holds performances, talks and workshops for all music lovers. Always been a sceptic of Singapore’s music scene? From rock band Cashew Chemists to screamo band Yumi, learn more about our hidden local talent and how our music culture has helped shaped our nation’s development. Yes, we do have more to offer than just The Sam Willows and Gentle Bones.

5. The Wax Museum
[caption id="attachment_1766" align="alignnone" width="640"] Image Credit: Traveldelight.com.sg[/caption]Spent a bomb on Tay-Tay’s concert but returned with a tonne of blurred photos? Have always been gaga over Gaga but never got the chance to meet her? What if we told you you’re now able to not only snap away at your favourite celebrities, but to also take as many wefies as you wish?
Be prepared to be star-struck at Madame Tussauds’ wax museum as you rub shoulders with both local and international icons including PM Lee Hisen Loong, Nicole Kidman, Cristiano Ronaldo and gasp, Justin Bieber. The uncanny resemblance of the celebrities’ wax sculptures to their real selves will soon have you forget that you’re in a museum. We guarantee that you’ll be snapping away in no time.

保证后悔没到访过!23张让你惊叹的魅力新加坡
每年都有超过20万名旅客观光东南亚这一颗小红点——新加坡。一个由不同民族、文化、教育、信仰组成的多元化国家,却能把每个人的心紧紧牵连在一起。团结融合的国度自然吸引来自世界各地的旅客到访新加坡,除了必试的本地美食像辣椒螃蟹、海南鸡饭、新加坡炒虾面、肉骨茶等等,还有热门景点比如新加坡观景摩天轮、鱼尾狮、莱佛士酒店等。而小编今天要为你介绍的景点,可以让你用不一样的角度,从“心”发现新加坡的美!
1. 新加坡新闻及艺术部大厦
MICA (Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts),位于克拉码头北侧,是属于新加坡政府部门的其中一个,主管创意产业发展。其中Art-2 Gallery、Element Artspace、Gajah Gallery、Tembusu Art Gallery和Y2 Arts都展现了中国的当代绘画作品。
2. 无边际泳池,滨海湾金沙酒店
全世界最高最大的无边际泳池,坐落在滨海湾金沙酒店的57楼。试想一下在顶楼泳池漂浮,俯瞰整个闪闪发光的城市天际线,很是壮观。在畅泳后,你可以直接躺在池畔旁的豪华躺椅上,享受片刻的日光浴。
3. 威斯丁酒店
这家酒店位于新加坡市中心的金融商业区,坐落在美丽迷人的滨海湾边缘地带,距离企业办公场所、餐厅、购物商场、和金海湾金沙赌场仅数步之遥。哪里还能和这里一样,在钢骨水泥中游泳呢?
4. 小印度遗产中心
这是新加坡第一间关于印度文化的展览馆。时髦的建筑外观让它白天像闪亮的宝石,夜晚就像发光的灯笼。馆内有5个常态展示区,追溯至19世纪以前,印度在南亚的历史发展。小印度遗产中心以照片、影像、蜡像、文件史料和多媒体互动式游戏,让参观者深入了解新加坡印度社群的过去与现在。
5. 小印度特色商店
从小印度地铁站走出来,竹脚中心的喧嚣活力迎面而来,转个弯,就进入宝龙岗路的幻彩世界;满街的莎丽裙摆随风飘扬,缤纷的花环被高高串起,远方兴都庙传来的焚香气息挥之不去。来到这里,一定要试一下由印裔同胞冲调的拉茶和印度煎饼。啊!还有别忘了做Henna Painting!
6. 虎豹别墅
虎豹别墅建于1937年,世界上共有三栋,均在亚洲。第一座位于香港;第二座位于新加坡;第三座位于中华人民共和国的福建省。它们均是著名药店商人胡文虎先生出资建造,并开放给民众参观。它的特色是把中国历史故事、神话故事和建筑、雕塑艺术熔于一炉,有着浓厚的中国色彩和情调。
7. HDB政府组屋
房子短缺问题早在新加坡二战时期前就已存在,为了解决当时恶劣的住宿环境问题,政府就推出了组屋建造计划。新加坡虽然地小,可是一片地却能住着这么多人民!时至今日,新加坡有85%的公民都居住在政府组屋中哦!
8. 夜景
无可否认,新加坡是一个越夜越美丽的城市。只要在市中心任何一座高楼往下看,就会被眼前这一道美景给震撼住。尤其到了国庆庆典或是跨年倒数活动,这里周围的酒店都早在半年前被预约满了。想要见证此生必看的这一道风景线,就必须安排在非高峰时期咯!
9. 滨海湾花园
想要从容地玩滨海湾花园,或许一个下午是不够的。因为这里有两个独特的冷室:云雾林 (Cloud Forest),花穹 (Flower Dome) 。而周边的18座擎天树在花园四处散立,高聳而巨大的设计,抬头看非常壮观,若想从高空与它相遇,不妨到华侨银行空中走道 (OCBC Skyway)享受居高临下与体验美丽的花园踩在脚下的感受。
10. 哈芝街
哈芝巷曾是战前房屋的空荡街道,如今大批本土设计师和年轻创业者的进驻已使这条旧巷重获新生。用色鲜艳大胆的壁画,颇具童趣。这里开设了许多有个性的精品时装店,专门出售各种具有新加坡本土风格的时尚配饰和物品。 在这里,你可以找到非常棒的古着店,或是各种奇特的现代服饰及配饰,还有不少彰显独特风格的本土新兴设计师精品店。
11. 中峇鲁
在新加坡,没有到过中峇鲁,你很难想像繁忙的城市里还有这么一片清凉之地。它的范围不大,小小的住宅区里都是战前的旧式组屋,空气里弥散着一种悠闲的味道。中峇鲁发展于1936年,是英殖民政府兴建的第一批公共住屋,经历了战火,仍然完整地保存下来。2003年,新加坡政府宣布中峇鲁为保留区,它与众不同的建筑外观,它的一砖一瓦,将永久成为新加坡历史遗产的一部分。
12. 武吉士街
20 世纪 50 年代,武吉士街曾经是著名的风月场所,吸引了许多国外的海员和军人来此感受灯红酒绿。而今,武吉士街已经成为了一个独具特色的购物胜地。经过一番大力整顿后,这条街道上汇集了约 800 家店铺,成为了新加坡规模最大的购物街。这里的商品令人眼花缭乱,从时尚新潮的服装和配饰到美甲和美发沙龙,应有尽有。
13. 李光前自然历史博物馆
这座位于新加坡国立大学文化中心旁的李光前自然历史博物馆,展出约2000件稀有动植物标本,包括三副来自美国的恐龙化石。这个耗资4600万元打造,收藏约50多万件物品绝大部分迁自莱佛士生物多样性研究博物馆。你也可以在馆内欣赏巨型石斑鱼、大海龟、蝴蝶、鸟类等标本哦!
14. 中央商业区
想要来到这里,你可以搭乘地铁到City Hall,从地铁站走出来,马上就能看见这些灰色建筑物林立在四周围。这里是许多上班族拼搏的战场。坐在绿油油的草地旁,抬头一望既是相中景色。被高楼大厦包围的你,心里又想些什么呢?看着上班族匆忙的脚步,仿佛永远在和时间赛跑。
15. 亨德森波浪桥 (Henderson Waves)
亨德森波浪桥位于南部山脊内,是步行桥中造型最为独特的。而整个全长 9 公里的步行桥衔接三个公园,沿途青葱的环境、开阔的空间让这里成为了徒步与单车骑游的理想场所。它拥有 360 度俯瞰城市的视野,是饱览新加坡、海港与南部岛屿全景的最佳地点。来到这里,千万别忘了带上相机。
16. 牛车水
牛车水是新加坡的唐人街,这里有着华人味浓郁的商家林立,独特的文化色彩更让人忍不住多看几眼。除了必到牛车水传统菜市场及牛车水大厦感受当地居民的朴实生活外,还可以看见许多价廉物美的中国式古董玩意儿,也可以尝试四川麻辣汤等中国道地小吃。
17. 牛车水商店
牛车水有上百家可供你选择的吃饭地点,还有许多的饭后娱乐夜店。只要在牛车水地铁站走出来,就可以快速进入昔日的老街区,直达传统店屋的大本营。在这里,你可以找到古玩、药草、肉干、糕饼等传统店铺。
18. 圣淘沙
圣淘沙大概是离市中心最近的岛,就算是从Vivo City, Harbourfront步行进入圣淘沙,也只不过是十分钟的事情。你也可以选择搭轻轨、缆车等不同的交通工具入岛。圣淘沙汇集了环球影城、S.E.A海洋馆、名胜世界、赌场、杜莎夫人蜡像馆、特丽爱3D美术馆等,为了玩尽圣淘沙,多待两天都值得!
19. 罗弄万国村 Kampung Buangkok
新加坡最后一个幸存的甘榜——罗弄万国村。掩映在高大树林间,这片土地上坐落着众多木屋,一些还带有波状铁皮屋顶。村民们还过着质朴简单乡村生活,鸡狗在村中漫步,蟋蟀声鸟鸣声不绝于耳。这里的村民似乎过着无忧无虑的自在生活。但这片未被城市化的净土,很快也将变成高楼大厦了。
20. 榜鹅水道 (Punggol Waterway Park)
这是新加坡本地最长的一条人造水道,水道长4.2公里。它最初只是一条横跨榜鹅市镇的沟渠,连接新加坡东北部的两个蓄水池——榜鹅蓄水池和实龙岗蓄水池。榜鹅水道的东部起点是实龙岗蓄水池,西部的尾端就是榜鹅蓄水池了。两边都一座造型别具一格的行人桥,在东边的桥上可以观赏日出,在西的桥上可以饱览夕阳西下的景色。
21. 榜鹅牧场
小编发现到一般旅客到新加坡,甚少会把这类休闲去处的地方加入清单里,其实小编我对于榜鹅牧场还挺钟意的!如果可以住上一晚,在这里骑骑马、散散步、再来一顿丰盛的BBQ晚餐,感觉一定很棒!这些大篷车里干净舒适,内部甚至有电子壁炉,使得整个小屋更有魅力。
22. 小桂林
位于新加坡的东部的小桂林,由废弃的花岗石矿场改建成的市镇公园,由于风光类似中国的桂林山水,因此在新加坡被誉为小桂林。这里环境优美化,绿树成荫,四通八达的羊肠小径,处处曲径通幽,吸引大批摄影爱好者及来拍摄婚纱照片的情侣。
23. 裕华园
裕华园是由著名台湾建筑师虞日镇 (Yuen-Chen Yu) 仿效中国北方的宫廷建筑风格与景观而设计,有着一股浓浓的中国古典韵味。裕华园内高耸巍峨的宝塔和谐地融入周围的自然景色,沿着曲径悠闲漫步,观赏花卉的同时也可以看见山石与流淌其间的清溪流,一片宁静祥和沁入心扉。
