You guys are great ambassadors for Singapore. Thanks for loving and appreciating our country. Underlining the 10 things you mentioned (which I do agree wholeheartedly with) is safety…. The freedom to do everything you mentioned at any time of day or night without fear or worry, something I always realise when I return home after a trip abroad, and something I often take for granted.
Thanks for your opinion and message. Do take time to check out more of our videos as we have discovered there is much more than concrete in Singapore. Agreed that there is plenty in Malaysia - even more than Singapore, but you must remember the size of Singapore in comparison. It’s also worth nothing that we were not comparing Singapore to anywhere… comparison is the thief of all joy - and we are very joyful about living in Singapore 🇸🇬 ❤️
@@yomyomdelishdishes5474I think we should be able to love a country and celebrate its merits without having to put down and denigrate another country. Malaysia is a great country with much beauty and culture, and I have many friends and family there. Both Singapore and Malaysia have much to offer people from all over the world.
Thanks for putting up this lovely video. I like that velcro thingy that your kids stick themselves onto the wall in one of the playground. Wish there is an adult version for that 😂
One thing I would like to add to your list, and maybe it is an 11th on your list already is Singapore is the central hub to travel in and out of Asia. It is so convenient to fly anywhere in Asia from Changi airport. With so many low-cost fliers operating out of Changi, you can easily make a weekend travel to Japan or Bali, without breaking the bank.
That’s a good point too! To be honest there are probably way more than 10 but these ones I guess have a day to day impact for us. We’ve certainly enjoyed travelling since we’ve been living here. Can catch our trips on our channel too 😀
Thank you both for highlighting the real Singapore to all our visitors. Nice video summarising your 3 years of living here among us. And what a lovely family.
I’ve only visited Singapore twice but I remember visiting so many of the places you’ve shared in your vlog. Great memories and hints to more places to visit next time 🦋💜
Greetings Mr and Mrs Tan. I am a great fan of your superbly stitched videos. Have been so since the beginnings. I am so happy to see Milo and Aspen thriving and hale and hearty. Stay safe always.
Lovely couple. I think you both lived here and knew more about Singapore places to travel more than i lived here for more than 50 over years😅😅. Enjoy your stay in Singapore
@@WONDERLUSTworld oh hi! Sorry for not replying earlier. I visited the Margaret Market last Sun. It was packed so we just browse around and we ended at the hawker ctr instead. Actually I used to live in that area 40 odd yrs ago n hv not gone back. Tremendous changes over the yrs n only the library n polyclinic still stands
Thanks - I really enjoyed this. There's a definite dilemma for visitors, I think - do you do the 5* attractions (Sentosa, Universal Studios, the Zoo, etc) or do you look for these alternatives? And all in just a short period of time? But you've definitely reminded us that there are really good things to see away from the keystone attractions, and we'll do some of them when we return in March. But we'll also definitely be visiting the Bird Paradise.
That is true. Our first visit was more of the big tourist things then as we returned we found more local spots. Hopefully visitors can explore a bit of both with Singapore being small enough to be able to get about easily. You’ll love the bird paradise!
Enjoy the rural part of SG: consider bringing your kids to the frog or goat farm or Bollywood fruit farm in NW SG. Enriching experience for the entire family
We have actually been to there, th-cam.com/video/sAD-HnvgTp4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zJb0i91DkKcboDlN Can watch it here. We think Bollywood veggies should be visited by more. It’s an incredible place and the food is so good! I (Millie) absolutely hate frogs, although I will eat them haha so we haven’t done the frog farm as I don’t think I’d cope!! Do keep the suggestions coming!
The new punggol library is a really nice place to hang out and read a book. Punggol is really kind of off the beaten track for tourists 😆 Thanks for sharing this video!
I'm a regular tourist in Singapore and visited Punggol to walk along the waterway park on my last visit because of recommendations from Millie & Jonty's videos 💖
When u were recapping, I just realized you have not yet gone to the jurong east swimming complex aka the budget waterpark. I rmb telling you about it when u first came on youtube? Just dont go into the normal pool there. Nearest mrt is chinese garden. Your kids will love it.
Ah thanks! I’ll look it up. Still so much to see haha some swimming pools and water play don’t allow you to have cameras or film so we have been to a few but can’t show them off.
I was wondering what language is being spoken in Singapore and your video is the first I came across. Nice vibe in it so I sent a like to support you guys. I ll let you know when we visit to get together :))) Best of thoughts!
Aww thanks! In singapore you’ll hear mandarin, English and Malay spoken and many other languages here and there within the expat community. Are you planning a trip sometime soon?
Have you visited the Marsiling Botanic Gardens? Quite a small area of forested area and quite cool. Then go to the nearby Marsiling Mall for some hawker food.
We did line fishing over at East Coast park and loved it so much we then tried Kayak Fishing and wow we were surprised at what's in the waters over here. Can't take a look: th-cam.com/video/bBUy21HuHVM/w-d-xo.html Here is our line fishing too: th-cam.com/video/y4ZtDIDltW8/w-d-xo.html Are you a regular angler?
Theys correct., Singapore undoubtedly is unique in shopping and dining. No where else in the world 🌍 can you find anything like the little red dot. Malaysia ruite close and perhaps copycat but never close to Singapore coffee shops hawker centres or food court vibes. Singapore 🇸🇬 us incredibly the best ever. Go to the heartland's and you will get it. No need go downtown city pricier stuff
You guys probably visited more places than most locals. SG in my opinion, is an experiment of a young country/city. Everything is made in SG. Really, visitors should visit our neighborhood and hawker centrr
Yes they should! I think that’s the reason I (Millie) fell in love with SG so much on my first trip. I’d never been to a hawker centre before or tried most of the foods on offer. The community culture was lovely. A young couple of boys helped Jonty’s grandparents to bring their food back to their table, I was really touched by it.
Have you guys been to the top of Vivo? The kids would love the playground. There's a library too. Oh, bring extra clothes for them, they might get wet.😀
Hello, I took Aspen to see the Hello Kitty installation recently. There were signs saying don’t go in the water but I remember on one holiday when Aspen was about 2 years old and Milo was 5 they were playing in all the little pools. Or are you talking about another one?
Aww thank you SO much. Sadly, that is often said about Singapore but hopefully people can see that just isn’t the case at all. It’s rich with nature, culture, things to do and explore and has an awesome history! And so much food to enjoy too. Let us know what they think!
Family, food, the weather, culture here and opportunities for our family are just a few! Millie (me) was born in the Uk, as were the kids, Jonty was born in SG and moved when he was very young as his parents relocated to the UK.
I’ve (Millie) not seen it this curly before, when we went to Australia is was straighter again and wasn’t curly in the UK. The humidity here just makes my hair frizzy 😆
Hey there, Jonty was actually born in Singapore and has family here too. If you have time can watch a little of his story here, th-cam.com/video/gxXRE_lOg6A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WLB0ppMjXZ7_ksqS
It can feel a bit squishy at times. That’s why we love to head to the other islands, go over to Hollywood veggies, take a walk or bike ride. How about you?
I’d agree with you here @Kennyzeng21 - yes the cost of living is high in places but it also comes down to what you choose to spend the rest of your money on.
Love the positivity in the video! Glad that you are still enjoying your stay in Singapore❤
Ah thanks! We very much are and still so much to explore.

Thanks for putting up this lovely video. I like that velcro thingy that your kids stick themselves onto the wall in one of the playground. Wish there is an adult version for that 😂

I don’t think we have, I’ll go look it up now! Thanks.
Other than those mentioned by Jonty, if u love line fishing, u could do so off our shorelines which may surprise u with big fishes, rays, eels etc.

Correct, that's the one. My daughter had fun too many years ago❤
Yeah! Aspen loved it there, but there are signs now saying to stay out of the water? Maybe it’s not so easily cleaned?
Most probably, they don't have a filtration system like a pool.
Perhaps! It’s still a lovely spot to sit with a picnic even if you can’t splash about as much.
Hi Wonderlust,
I will forward this video to my Taiwan friends he said Singapore is too small and is very boring.
Aww thank you SO much. Sadly, that is often said about Singapore but hopefully people can see that just isn’t the case at all. It’s rich with nature, culture, things to do and explore and has an awesome history! And so much food to enjoy too. Let us know what they think!
May I know where u guys from? 🤔 Which part of singapore make u chose to stay here. 🙄😅🙏🇸🇬
Family, food, the weather, culture here and opportunities for our family are just a few! Millie (me) was born in the Uk, as were the kids, Jonty was born in SG and moved when he was very young as his parents relocated to the UK.
Jonty here. If you watch the video, you’ll see why we love it so much too. Thanks for interacting!
Mate, just suddenly admiring your hair. Which one I'm referring to, go figure that out! 😆
Why thanks! The humidity makes it curly now it’s getting longer.
Did Jonty gotten a hair perm?
No - his hair curls in the humidity! It just hasn’t been long enough to be noticeable until now 😂
I thought so.😀@@WONDERLUSTworld
I’ve (Millie) not seen it this curly before, when we went to Australia is was straighter again and wasn’t curly in the UK. The humidity here just makes my hair frizzy 😆

Hmm strange. Thanks for the feedback I’ll check it out. www.thewonderlustway.com
Singapore sounds like utopia!
It’s not without its challenges but we love living here and relocating was one of the best moves for us as a family.
I only dislike:
High COE
Stressful country to work for my daughter
Going forward, many may be jobless at 50+
What makes you think there will be joblessness at 50+?
@@WONDERLUSTworld Salaries are very high and not sustainable
I’m not sure how that means people will be jobless?
@@WONDERLUSTworld 5% unemployment rate? We never know.
Singapore is a great place to live if you are rich. Otherwise the cost of living is gonna choke you to death.
Not true....depends on ur definition of rich
I’d agree with you here @Kennyzeng21 - yes the cost of living is high in places but it also comes down to what you choose to spend the rest of your money on.
Your life expectancy is longer by at least 5 years.
What makes you say this? 😊
Too freaking hot for our taste … 365 a year … really don’t want to be baked .. all the time
The heat isn’t for everyone that’s for sure!
U dun go under the sun 24/7 haha. Air cons in mall 😊
Ahh yes popping into aircon really helps and I have an electric hand held fan that I take out when I remember to charge the thing 😂
Now veri hot not gd to live here.
Even with the heat we love it, part of the reason why we do!!
