When I ask around as to what I should do while in Singapore, a lot of people suggest Sentosa Island. I didn't make it there the last time I was in Singapore, so I figured I probably should go. The thing is, I wasn't really all that excited about checking out Sentosa Island, as it just didn't seem like my cup of tea.
