Singapore’s oldest nature park is continuously filled with joggers, families and weekend strollers – plus those flocking to see the occasional free concert. You can get into the reservoir’s rainforest via the MacRitchie Trail, which offers straightforward boardwalk treks and more ambitious, longer hikes. There’s plenty of wildlife here, from flying lemurs to tree frogs and pangolins – but they do tend to hide out of sight. The one exception are the long-tailed macaque monkeys that hang about. Be warned, though: having been fed by less responsible visitors, they can be aggressive little terrors.

There are lots and lots of Orchids which were part of Traditional Malay Medicine and they became part of this culture which women brought into the family unit.

The amazing personalized souvenir from your Singapore trip is a personalized perfume from Scent-osa. Hoya imperialis, used in Citrus 8 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshop. Hoya imperialis are large flowers and get spectacular pink with white corona when mature. Sometimes the corona is pink as well. It is a good bloomer and you will feel very rewarded when you see the flowers. Since Hoyas are likely to bloom earlier and more often in smaller pots, don’t use a pot that is too big. Another tip for Orchid lovers- keep the room temperature above 60F. Hoya’s are known to grow fast, but this one will exceed all expectations. We found someone stating that their grew 30ft in 18 months. The flowers smell amazing in the evening, with hints of Neroli. They are fragrant, in fact very fragrant.
