It was now our last day in Singapore and the start of the second and final leg of 8-day tour – our first visit to Bangkok in Thailand. After breakfast, I still had some time on my hand, so I visited the iconic Raffles Hotel and the nearby Singapore War Memorial.

Then I visited my UP College of Architecture friends Oliver “Papot” Venegas and Philip Carrillo at their DP Architects PTE office at the Golden Mile Complex along Beach Road before returning to the hotel.
