The Marina Bay Sand, the Changi Jewel and the fast-paced, high-rise
city are what immediately comes to one's mind about Singapore. This
is 'The Weekender's' first flight into the Asia Pacific region and
this issue will present Singapore in a different and more laid-back
perspective than you might be used to. However, it will still
showcase the iconic architecture and landmarks that juxtapose with
a melting pot of diverse heritages/cultures and remnants of the
city-state's colonial past. And at the same, this issue explores
the blurred boundaries between the old and the new, the hardscapes
and the softscapes. From starting the weekend with breakfast at a
local enclave, rich in history and culture, to wandering the
grounds of the UNESCO Heritage listed Botanical Gardens and then
ending the day sipping a cocktail along Keong Siak Road, a trendy
neighbourhood littered with eateries and bars, Matthew aspires for
the book to bring about a more local and intimate experience of
what the city-state has to offer for a weekend getaway or a
pit-stop to explore the rest of region. Whilst the flow of the book
will incorporate the weekend trajectory, the mixture of content
will mean that a reader is both influenced by Matthew's imagery of
the city, without explicitly having to follow a specific route but
allow them to adventure at will.
