Did you know that your guides have their own favorite places in Singapore?
Gene’s favorite place in Singapore is the Singapore Botanic Gardens and National Orchid Garden.
He loves it because it is his place of healing, peace, and rejuvenation — a space where trees, plants, and flowers take center stage and gently encourage visitors to slow down and simply be present. Even the birds, insects, and other creatures seem to find rest, shelter, and nourishment within the beautiful gardens.
Gene also enjoys admiring the many sculptures found throughout the park. One of his favorites is Chang Kuda (Piggyback) by Chong Fah Cheong. He finds the way the artist captures everyday moments truly remarkable, reminding him of his carefree youth and simpler times.
