I know it sounds embarrassing but like some locals and residents of Singapore, I only started getting very curious and interested in stories about Singapore's earlier days when its founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away. Imagine my delight when my family was invited to discover From Tales to Legends: Singapore Stories at Gardens by the Bay's Flower Dome.
The floral display features 10 local folklore that are brought to life by the creative display of more than 8000 orchids plants in bloom and more colourful flowers. We were greeted by the Sang Nila Utama local 3D stamp. It is appropriately situated right when you enter the premises of the Flower Dome as it tells the story of how the "Lion City" was discovered and named as such.
Come and visit Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay and discover for yourself the stories behind:
SANG NILA UTAMA
REDHILL
KUSU ISLAND
PULAU UBIN
TANJONG PAGAR
RADIN MAS
MERLION

After visiting Flower Dome, do catch the SG50 edition of the Garden Rhapsody at the Supertree Grove. The special edition features nostalgic favourites from yesteryears sang by Benjamin Kheng of the Sam Willows (Did I just hear somebody swoon? Haha), indie singer iNCH and many other prominent local vocalists. I promise you, you will be wowed and you won't help but feel very proud of the place you call HOME. Everyone cheered and clapped in unison after the show. Major goosebumps!!!
