Singapura Very Strong, Big Guns All Pointing Wrong. This walk was all about the cannons and forts in the south of Singapore, with main attractions being Labrador Park and Fort Siloso. There was also the Berlayer and Bukit Chermin Boardwalk, the Reflections, the Keppel Island and the Imbiah Nature Trail.
Vivo Vivo Vivo. You don't have to buy food at Sentosa if you're on a tight budget. As such, we ended up eating both lunch (Soup Spoon) and dinner (So Pho) at VivoCity. If you're extra fancy, you can have lunch at Keppel Island =). The SES difference is real, man.
When we went, much of the interior of Labrador Park was closed, so we couldn't see many of the forts and cannons. But the rest of the park was okay, with the jetty area where people fish. I quite liked the Imbiah trail (with the pavement), where we saw the old Sentosa Monorail. And then there was the skywalk, where the towers were pretty tall. It did start to rain a bit when we were up there, though, so we couldn't stay long. Fort Siloso was a bit more... scary haha. It was eerily quiet that day, not many people around. So when the lights suddenly turned on... whew haha. Especially the old bunkers, with sussy corridors and wax enactments.
Try to go to Fort Siloso on a crowded day, as it's a bit creepy when it's quiet. Don't go to the skywalk when it's raining, as it feels like a lightning hazard. If you have time, go for the Imbiah Trail towards Fort Imbiah.
