ARTIST STATEMENT
Sketching serves as the foundation of my creative process. It allows me to capture fleeting moments, emotions, and ideas that later evolve into more complete compositions. Each sketch is a conversation with the world around me—a way to connect with the subtle details that often go unnoticed. Instagram: @miketan7031 Workshop Flow 1. Understand Basic Sketching Techniques. Learn to sketch urban scenes using simple lines and shapes, focusing on capturing essential details.
2. Simplify Complex Elements.
Gain the ability to simplify figures, trees, cars, and other objects without losing their essence.
3. Understanding Composition and Perspective.
Develop skills in arranging elements within a scene and applying perspectives to create depth.

It may be because of the summer vacation. Even on weekdays, there are a lot of people. The roller coaster is 120 minutes, and the mummy is 70 minutes. Especially the projects where you can&#39;t use your mobile phone and can only wait are quite tiring. There will be a lot fewer people around 7 pm. Due to the weather and climate of Singapore 🇸🇬, occasional heavy rain may cause the project to wait for maintenance temporarily. Overall, the experience is not bad. It feels slightly better than the North Ring in all aspects. It is also one of the few second visits we have in Singapore❤️

The whole trip was perfect! Singapore is such a great place! Not only is the scenery beautiful, but Singaporeans are also very friendly to Chinese people! The attractions I especially want to recommend are Singapore Changi Airport and Marina Gardens, which are really amazing. The hotel I chose is also very good, and the hotel recommended by Ctrip is really cost-effective. I would also like to thank Xiaoxiao, the housekeeper of Ctrip for this trip to Singapore. She is really a very responsible consultant. She took good care of us throughout the whole process, including helping us fill out the entry form. I had any problems during the trip and helped to solve them seriously and responsibly. The airport pick-up and drop-off arrangements were very considerate, and the recommendations for eating and drinking spots were all very good. I had questions and they answered them! It was really a considerate housekeeper! Good reviews! In short, I recommend everyone to come to Singapore, it is really a good tourist country!

Singapore Zoo is well worth a visit. As one of the top ten zoos in the world, its open design, rich animal species and unique ecological experience make it an ideal choice for family travel and nature lovers.

I rarely write reviews, but after a long time of calm, I feel that I should write some. It is not for a short essay, but to simply record this bad night and the pitfalls I encountered, and give tips to future tourists and friends. I don&rsquo;t know if it can help you. Let&rsquo;s encourage each other.

July 17, 2025 Singapore Wildlife Park Night Safari

First, the conclusion: the zoo is great, and the night experience is also very novel. It is definitely a must-visit attraction in Singapore, no one else.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is: don&rsquo;t book tickets on Ctrip. Because you may find that you have to wait outside the door for two hours before you can enter the park after you arrive; no matter how much homework you do, you will never think that Ctrip will cheat you, and it will be a big one; you have to stand honestly after taking a taxi from the city center, and Ctrip will question us as fools, and four fools.

Our group of four bought the tickets shown in the picture, with the keywords: [No reservation required] [7:15PM]. It should be noted that this product includes two tickets, one [Chinese train] and the other [entry ticket]. On the purchase page, you only need to select the time of the train, because the product interface clearly states that no reservation is required for the entrance ticket, [You can enter the park according to the Chinese train schedule and show the voucher to the staff].

OK, then the purchase is successful, I clicked on the confirmation form, looked at the precautions with satisfaction, and looked forward to the wonderful experience of my first night tour of the zoo in my life.

The big one is coming. Because we still had work to do in the afternoon, the four of us took a taxi to the zoo after the meeting. We arrived at the gate at 19:20 and found that there were five or six park staff standing about 20 meters in front of the gate checking tickets one by one, shouting that those who were waiting for 19:15 could enter the park now. As a result, when they saw our tickets, they said NO, because although our train time was fine, there was a line of small words under the QR code of [Entrance Ticket] [Admission from 9:15 PM], which means that the scheduled entry time was after 9:15 pm. My head buzzed at the time, and I immediately contacted the customer service: Why is the entry time of this ticket later than the train time in the park?
The customer service was very professional, and they immediately contacted the merchant. The merchant said that there was no need to check the ticket, and you could enter directly by scanning the code. I said that they didn&rsquo;t let us go to the step of scanning the code, and someone stopped us.
Merchant: &quot;Just show them the ticket for the train and they can enter the park. You don&#39;t need to show them the ticket behind.&quot;
Me: &quot;But they just want to see the ticket behind.&quot;
The result was that we waited from dawn to dusk, until the ticket inspectors at the gate had all gone off work, before we could enter. My friend smiled and praised the merchant for being &quot;partly right&quot;, maybe they came after 9pm.
The customer service patiently asked me if I had any demands, and they would negotiate with the merchant. I frankly said that I had no demands. What demands could I have? My demands were just to walk around and chat with friends in a once-in-a-lifetime zoo, that&#39;s all.

Apart from Universal Studios, this is the only place my children visited twice. They played there both during the day and at night and returned very satisfied. It is sunnier in the daytime and in the morning, and each round of waiting time is longer than the last. In the morning, there is a long queue to exchange tickets, but those who buy current tickets can start playing directly.
