National Day Parade Singapore 2017 held in the beautiful Marina Bay area. This year got nice drones dancing in the evening sky to form pictures. All time favorite item of  NDP parade 2017 would be the nice fireworks lighting up the sky. Awesome! We love Singapore. Happy Birthday Singapore! Check out the videos!

The founding father of Singapore - Mr Lee Kuan Yew- would be dearly missed by all Singaporeans. Below some pictures of the scenes of the funeral and all walks of life going to Parliament to pay their last respects to the great man and hero of Singapore. Mr LKY would always be dear in our hearts and he would rest in peace after the years of hard work building up Singapore. Proud to be Singaporean! Majullah Singapura! Progress Singapore! Thank you and with great gratitude to Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Mrupupup's Blog, 2015 March.                                       

Yeah! Victoria Concert Hall Singapore has re-opened in July 2014. Mrupupup went for a visit of Victoria Concert Hall after its four years renovations. It was a special day because Mrupupup got to go up to the Concert Hall's many "decades old" Clock Tower. This was a very special treat to visit the inside of the clock tower and see the old clock chiming its way in Singapore's short history. Mrupupup went on a tour of the renovated Victoria Concert Hall and saw the beautiful old building came alive. Mrupupup loved the chimes of the clock tower. See Mrupupup's picture and hear the sound of the clock tower in the below video. Thank you organisers for bringing Mrupupup to see Singapore's Victoria Concert Hall and its clock tower!   1906 bell in Victoria Concert Hall Clock Tower     Very sophisticated clock mechanism     Refurbished old seats from the previous concert hall now becomes decorative pieces in the main foyer   Bea

The famous personalities buried there included Mr Ong Sam Leong (very rich man), Chew Joo Chiat, Gan Eng Seng and many more. Take note that Mr Ong Sam Leong's burial place is the largest and most elaborate in the Bukit Brown area. Bukit Brown Cemetery is located off the Sime Road and near to Singapore Island Country Club. As this cemetery is facing some changes to the site due the construction of a road through this place, Mrupupup went to see this Bukit Brown place. Well, Mrupupup thinks it is quite a big place and quiet with many interesting birds chirping. The most impressive thing of Bukit Brown were the tombs. Just to let Mrupupup's readers know that some tombs had Sikh Guards placed next to the tombs. One tomb even had two colourful Sikh Guards w
