From City Lights to Calm Waters: Sana & Her Husband’s Singapore-Malaysia Journey with Thrillophilia
When Sana and her husband finally decided to take a break, they weren’t looking for something extravagant – just a trip that would give them time together, away from meetings, screens, and routine. “We hadn’t travelled properly since our wedding,” she said with a laugh, “so when we stumbled upon Thrillophilia’s Singapore and Kuala Lumpur package, it felt like the timing was just right.”
Apurva from Thrillophilia reached out soon after they enquired.
That began as a simple call soon turned into weeks of patient planning with itinerary tweaks, hotel options, activity suggestions, and even food recommendations. “She made everything so easy,” Sana remembered. “From start to finish, we didn’t have to stress about a single thing.”
So, one bright morning, the couple packed their bags and set out for their 7-day adventure - three countries, two hearts, and one long-awaited escape.
Singapore — Where Every Corner Feels Alive
Their trip began in Singapore, a city that Sana described as “a little too perfect to be real.” From the moment they arrived, it felt like the city was alive with sleek, fast-paced, and yet surprisingly calm in its rhythm.
The first evening, they walked along the Marina Bay waterfront, watching the lights flicker against the skyline. Sana said it felt cinematic, almost the kind of place that makes you slow down even when everything around you moves fast.
The next day was all about adventure at Universal Studios Singapore, where her husband turned into an excited kid again. The Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure left them drenched and laughing uncontrollably, while the Transformers ride became his personal favourite. “We didn’t realise how much fun we’d have but it really brought out our goofy side,” she admitted, grinning.
Later that evening, they headed to Gardens by the Bay.
The Supertree Grove was glowing in soft purple light as music played in the background. They stood there for a while, holding hands, letting the lights and sound wash over them. “That was the moment,” Sana said quietly. “It felt peaceful, magical - like we’d finally paused.”
Their final day in Singapore was more relaxed, just exploring the Singapore Oceanarium, visiting Sentosa Island, and wrapping up the evening with a visit to SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands.
From up there, the city looked endless.
The sunset reflected off the water, and for a brief moment, neither of them spoke and rather just watched as the city turned gold.
Kuala Lumpur — Towers, Markets, and Late-Night Tea
After three action-packed days, the couple boarded their flight to Kuala Lumpur, where a slightly slower rhythm awaited them. Their first stop was the Petronas Twin Towers, which they both agreed looked even more stunning at night. They took photos, walked around the park below, and ended the evening with a quiet dinner overlooking the skyline.
The next day, their driver took them to the Batu Caves, which have 272 colourful steps that felt like both a challenge and a reward. “I thought I’d be out of breath halfway up,” Sana laughed, “but it was worth every step when we reached the top.”
They also made time to visit Merdeka Square, Central Market, and the KL Tower, where the city sprawled endlessly beneath them.
They tried local food like nasi lemak, satay, and fresh coconut water from roadside stalls. “That’s one thing I’ll always remember,” she said. “We planned the big sights, but the small things, like getting lost in a street market or sharing dessert at midnight, are what made the trip feel special.”
The Smoothest Trip They’ve Ever Had
Through both cities, what stood out to the couple wasn’t just the places; it was how effortlessly the trip flowed. Their hotels were clean and well-located, transfers were always on time, and every tiny query was handled before they even had to ask.
Sana mentioned how Apurva stayed in touch daily, checking if they’d reached safely, confirming transfers, and even reminding them about weather updates before excursions. “That kind of care is rare,” she said. “We felt like we had someone looking out for us throughout.”
One small moment stayed with her when a sudden drizzle in Singapore forced them to change their plan. Within minutes, Apurva had suggested an alternative activity and helped rearrange timings for the next day. “That quick response saved our day,” she added. “It’s one of those things that make a difference between a good trip and a great one.”
Why They’d Choose Thrillophilia Again
By the end of their 7-day trip, as they explored the Jewel Changi Airport before flying home, Sana and her husband agreed on one thing: that this trip had been everything they needed and more. “We deposited our luggage, got a stroller for free, and spent hours exploring the waterfall and shops,” she said. “It felt like Singapore had saved one last surprise for us.”
When asked later what she’d tell someone planning a trip like this, Sana smiled,
“I’d say go for it and go with Thrillophilia. Everything was planned perfectly, every transfer was smooth, and we never once had to worry about anything. Apurva and the team handled everything so well that we could actually enjoy being in the moment.”
For the couple, it wasn’t just about ticking off places, but instead, it was about rediscovering what travel feels like when it’s done right.
“Peaceful, joyful, and completely stress-free,” she summed up. “If every trip could feel like this, we’d never stop travelling.”
