Thank you for sharing your experience,

Free and low-cost leisure activities in Singapore
Singapore in general is not a cheap place to live, and that extends to entertainment as well - which is seen as serious business.
That said, the National Arts Council organises a number of free concerts and other activities in various outdoors locations. Look out for open-air concerts in the Botanic Gardens (which in itself is a free-of-charge destination worth visiting)!
The few remaining pockets of nature in the city are also free (Bukit Timah) or cheap (Sungei Buloh, Pulau Ubin) to visit.
Singapore's two national sports - shopping and dining - can cost as little or much as your habits and the location determine. The best value for money are Singapore's traditional hawker centres, where you can get suprizingly cheap and good food or just sit among the "Uncles" with a "Teh" (milk-tea-based energy drink) while watching the world go by.
Free kids activities:
Botanic garden for childrens garden/sometimes there are free concerts
Gardens by the bay childrens playground
Pirate ship water playground at Palawan beach Sentosa
National gallery childrens area
Open days at the local fire stations every Saturday mornings
