IntroductionSingapore was founded as a British

trading colony in 1819. It joined the

Malaysian Federation in 1963 but

separated two years later and became

independent. Singapore is located in

Southeastern Asia, between Malaysia and

Indonesia. Singapore's strategic position

has helped it grow into a major centre for

trade, communications and tourism. It

subsequently became one of the world's most prosperous countries with strong

international trading links (its port is the world's busiest in terms of tonnage

handled) and with per capita GDP equal to that of the leading nations of Western

Europe.

People

Singapore's population of almost four million comprises 77% Chinese, 14%

Malays, 8% Indians and 1% Eurasians and people of other descent.

Language

There are four official languages in Singapore: Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and

English. English is the language of business and administration, and is widely

spoken and understood. Most Singaporeans are bilingual, and speak their mother

tongue as well as English. Malay is the national language.

With such a big similarity in historical background, economic development and

mode of communication between Hong Kong and Singapore, it is worthwhile

visiting Singapore to learn from its culture. Visiting Singapore also helps us to

improve our English as English is widely spoken and understood in every part of

Singapore. Speaking in English during the few days in Singapore, we could

definitely enhance our English ability.

AttractionsThe Merlion Park

Where did the Merlion come from?

The Merlion was designed as an emblem

for the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in

1964. The designer was Mr Fraser

Brunner, a member of the souvenir

committee and a curator of the Van Kleef

Aquarium.

The Merlion has a lion head and a fish body resting on a crest of waves. The lion

head symbolises the legend of the rediscovery of Singapura, as recorded in the

"Malay Annals". In ancient times, Singapore was known as Temasek, a Javanese

word for sea. In the 11th century A.D, Prince Sang Nila Utama of the Sri Vijaya

Empire rediscovered the island. When the Prince first landed on Singapore's shores,

he sighted a mystical beast which he later learnt was a lion. The Prince then decided

to name the island "Singapura" which in Sanskrit means Lion (Singa) City (Pura).

The fish tail of the Merlion symbolises the ancient city of Temasek and represents

Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village. The Merlion and the Cub were

originally located by the Esplanade Bridge, just 120 metres from their present

location. Also called the Merlion Park, the area soon became a popular tourist

attraction and took its place among the famous landmarks of great cities of the

world. Mr Lee Kuan Yew, the Prime Minister of Singapore, officiated the installation

ceremony of the Merlion on 15 September 1972. A bronze plaque commemorated

the auspicious occasion with the inscription, "The Merlion has been erected as a

symbol to welcome all visitors to Singapore".

Today, the Merlion attracts more than one million visitors a year who make the trip to

the Merlion Park to photograph this world famous icon at her new home, at the

adjacent to One Fullerton.

The Merlion Statue

The Merlion statue, measuring 8.6 metres high and weighing 70 tonnes, was built by

the late Singapore craftsman, Mr Lim Nang Seng. It is made of cement fondue. A

smaller Merlion statue, measuring two metres high and weighing three tonnes was

also built by Mr Lim. The body is made of cement fondue, the skin from porcelain

plates and eyes from small red teacups.

Clarke Quay

Named after Sir Andrew Clarke, the second governor of Singapore, Clarke Quay has

played a big part in the building of Singapore. In its heyday, dozens of bumboats

loaded and unloaded the produce of the British Empire. These days the area’s old

shophouses and godowns has been transformed into a festival village bursting with

restaurants, bars and attractions.

Little India

Traditionally the home of Singapore's Indian

community, Serangoon Road and its

neighbouring side streets are still today a

bustling hive of sights, sounds and intriguing

aromas. A rainbow of colours greets you as you wind your way through the streets.

Here, where the locals shop, you can buy almost anything that's Indian, from

handicrafts and Kashmir silk to peacock feathers and flower garlands. Glittering silk-

threaded saris, brassware and Indian-designed jewellery are particularly good buys.

Check out the spice mill along Serangoon Road for ready-made packets of spices

for fish, meat or vegetable curries that can be easily packed into a suitcase. You'll be

charmed by jewellers selling silver amulets, bridal ornaments as well as cheap,

colourful bangles, ankle chains and other adornments. Look, for luggage of every

description, Indian bedspreads and giant photographs of Indian movie stars. Chellas

Gallery specialises in papier-mache boxes and other collectibles from Kashmir.

Singapore Science Centre

The world-acclaimed Singapore Science

Centre has one of the country's largest

collections of educational exhibits devoted to

science. It houses more than 850 interactive

exhibits, depicting the wonder and beauty of

science.

After a SGD 38 million revamp exercise, new facilities have been developed at the

Science Centre. These include a new main entrance, a fully covered linkway joining

the Science Centre and the Omni -Theatre, a Kinetic Garden, and an Annex

Building.

Chinatown

Singapore's Chinatown evolved around 1821 when

the first Chinese junk arrived from Xiamen, Fujian

province in China. The passengers, all men, set up

home around the south of the Singapore River

which is known today as Telok Ayer. Conditions

were harsh. The only source of fresh water were

from the many wells in Ann Siang Hill and at

Spring Street. Each household had to collect fresh

water in bullock-drawn carts, hence Chinatown's

local name - Niu Che Shui (Bullock Cart Water).

Singapore's Chinatown is full of contrasts and fascinating details. Parts of Chinatown

aren't even Chinese. Witness, for example, the Al Abrar Mosque along Telok Ayer

Street, and the Jamae Mosque and Sri Mariamman Temple along South Bridge

Road. The peaceful co-existence of the different places of worship in the same area,

even until today, reflects the racial and religious harmony in Singapore.

Chinatown Heritage Centre

Located in three newly restored

shophouses at the ethnic quarters of

Chinatown, the Chinatown Heritage

Centre houses a wealth of memories

and untold stories of how Singapore early forefathers had settled in this

area after their perilous journey from

afar.

Each level of the Centre takes you to a different time in the history of Chinatown and

allows you to trace the lives of its early occupants. Life in the old days was very

simple and almost everyone lived in rented cubicles of shophouses. Poverty,

diseases and harsh living conditions were common and widespread. The hard life of

the migrants resulted in many of them seeking solace in the four evils: opium

smoking, prostitution, gambling and secret societies. On a brighter note, Chinatown,

in its heyday, was always bustling with life and activity. Traditional festivals of

different races were celebrated here, thus making Chinatown culturally vibrant and

unique.

Botanic Gardens

The Gardens epitomises the tropical island's luxuriant parks. Spread over 52

hectares and close to the centre of the city, the Gardens is a combination of

untouched primary forest and specialty gardens displaying frangipanis, roses, ferns

and desert plants, to name a few. There are numerous plant species here, including

many rare specimens, reflect the Gardens' richness and diversity of plant life.

The present orchid enclosure has 20,000

orchid plants on display. The National Orchid

Garden promises sprawling orchid displays,

water features, and an exotic bromeliad collection from Central and South America.

Other attractions for visitors' enjoyment include Palm Valley, Eco-Lake and outdoor

concerts on Symphony Lake.

Night Safari

This is the world's premier night

zoo. The twilight holds many

surprises ... and more so at Night

Safari, where you can look a

rhinocerous in the eye or hear the

howls of a pack of striped hyenas.

There are over 1,200 animals of

over 110 exotic species to watch

out for. The animals are in 8 zones that recreate various geographic regions like the

Southeast Asian rainforest, African savanna, Nepalese river valley, South American

pampas and Burmese jungle.

Strike out on your own along the walking trail or relax in a tram ride - whichever you

choose, Night Safari is a wild adventure not to be missed.

Winner of the Tourism Awards 2000, 1999, 1997 and 1996 - Leisure Attraction of the

Year.

Sentosa

A former fishing village turned British military base,

Sentosa was transformed into an idyllic island resort

in 1972 for the enjoyment and recreation of

everyone. To describe Sentosa as merely one thing

or another would do no justice to the multiple facets

of this island jewel half a kilometre south of

Singapore. After all, it is the variety and versatility

that make Sentosa (meaning peace and tranquility) different and special for millions

of visitors from all around the world. And unlike any other vacation destination, you

are right on the fringe of the city buzz, which

is just minutes away by cable car, ferry or via

a 710-metre road link. Today, Sentosa is a

390-hectare recreational haven boasting a

kaleidoscopic range of attractions and

activities which cater to a wide audience.

Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today.

Who cares what tomorrow shall bring.

Do-re-mi

Let's start at the very beginning

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with

A-B-C. When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, Do-re-mi The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi, Do-re-mi, Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti

Oh, let's see if I can make it easier

* Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name I call myself

Far, a long long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow sew

Tea, I drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to do...oh oh oh

Repeat *

Do re mi fa so la ti do, so do

Top of the world

Such a feelin’s comin’ over me

There is wonder in most everything I see

Not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes

And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream

Everything I want the world to be

Is now coming true especially for me

And the reason is clear, it’s because you are here

You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve been

* I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around

Your love’s put me at the top of the world *

Something in the wind has learned my name

And it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze

There’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind

When this day is through I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here

Repeat *

Whatever will be, will be

When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, “What will I be?

Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?”

Here’s what she said to me:

* “Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be;

the future’s not ours to see

Que sera, sera, What will be, will be *

When I was just a child in school

I asked my teacher, “What will I try?”

Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?”

This was her wise reply:

Repeat *

When I grew up and fell in love

I asked my sweetheart, “What lies ahead?

Will we have rainbows, day after day?”

Here’s what my sweetheart said:

Repeat *

Now I have children of my own

They ask their mother, “What will I be?

Will I be handsome? Will I be rich?”

I tell them tenderly:

Repeat *

What will be, will be. Que sera, sera
