The easiest method to explore Singapore would be to do what the locals do. You heard right, do things that are 'non-touristy'. I've compiled a summary of places and things you can do in Singapore that are mostly free, other than a bottle of drink and transport fares. Hope you will discover them useful enjoy yourself!
1. Grab your 20 megapixel camera and head down to Chinatown .... ok, ok, Two million pixel is just as good. Try taking some pictures from the old shops as well as their almost 90 degrees staircases. If you want taking pictures of elderly people, there are lots of sitting around the wet market not doing anything.
2. Visit Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for biking or walk around and smell the green. Bring a bottle of water and shades.
3. Take a ferry (cost only $2) to Pulau Ubin and explore the area. You can also rent a bicycle or worn out motocycle. Try going for a taxi if you can find one, they can climb rough terrains much better than jeeps. Explore some of the Malay kampungs and prawn farms.
4. Go to the Changi Prison. It's free entrance for both tourist and inmates. Drop by the museum and chapel for some WW2 background and photos.
5. Go to the Siang Lim Si temple at Toa Payoh. Watch people get blessed. For that non-believers, you can count the number of deities inside ... it should occupy you for just one hour.
6. Visit the East Coast Park for a swim and then satay-bee hoon in the hawker centre.
7. Have a train to Changi Airport. Buy two glasses of coffee, find a comfortable pillar within the departure hall viewing gallery, watch planes take off and get yourself why you are not on the plane heading for a holiday.
8. Take a map and walk ins MacRitchie Reservoir.
9. Go Sim Lim Square and check out the most recent laptops and hardware.
10. Go jogging from Kallang River to Benjamin Sheares Bridge.
11. Have a train from the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. You can review to Malaysia and back within a day.
12. Try water skiing at Pungol.
13. Make your own kite and fly them at the Marine South open field. After that, you can have a delicious steamboat dinner in the many steamboat restaurant nearby.
14. Visit the Flea Market at Sungei Road. Some people called it the Thieves Market because most of the things that sold there aren't bought through the merchants.
15. Go cycling in the Sembawang Park. Quiet and nice even on the weekends. Cycle to the end and you can see some of the big ships refuelling.
16. Bring your own pit and barbeque along the Upper Pierce Reservoir. But when you are feeling oily, don't jump into the reservoir, you might end up in Point no. 4.
17. Go to the Tekka Market at Serangoon Road for any variety of fruits and vegetables. There's a stall selling among the best Bryani Chicken Rice I've ever tasted.
18. Go fishing at Pasir Ris Park.
19. Visit the Kinokuniya Bookstore.If your are dizzy after browing the library size bookstore, sit down for any cup of tea in the cafe within the bookstore. If you think a bookworm that day, then go to the Borders bookstore for a second helping.
20. Visit the Sungei Buloh Nature Park. Bring binoculars and do watching birds. After that, you can purchase some hydroponic vegetables home in the nearby farms.
