Telling more about me

This blog is my space to share some of the many fascinating stories of Singapore — from its rich history to the exciting changes shaping its future. Singapore has evolved tremendously over the years and will continue to do so. There will always be new bits and bytes to share, and I hope these stories can inspire you to share them with others too. The resources listed here are designed to help you get to know Singapore better.

Helping you to know more about Singapore

If you would like someone to guide you through the city, I can help you explore Singapore with stories that bring its history to life. As a licensed tour guide, I create experiences that go beyond just seeing the sights — I help you uncover the people, places, and events that have shaped this city.

Here are some of the heritage walking tours I can help:

  • Civic Centre Tour – Discover the birthplace of modern Singapore, starting with the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles and the founding of the British East India Company trading post. Learn how Singapore became a British colony and, eventually, an independent nation.
  • Chinatown Tour – Trace the journey of Chinese immigrants who played a major role in shaping Singapore’s growth. Hear stories of their struggles, resilience, and contributions while exploring historic streets, temples, and shop houses.
  • Little India Tour – Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of this vibrant community. Learn about its early origins, cultural traditions, and the stories behind its glittering jewellery, fragrant spices, colourful fashions, places of worship, and diverse cuisine.
  • Kampong Glam Tour – Step into the cultural heart of Singapore’s Malay, Indonesian, and Arab communities. Discover Islamic influences, historical landmarks, and the unique blend of heritage and modernity that defines this district today.

Each walking tour lasts about two hours and is designed to give you an authentic, memorable, and enriching experience of Singapore. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to discover more, I’d be delighted to help you see the city from a fresh perspective — one story at a time.
