Sometimes you just see things that are very cute.
Tapir sculptures, or inspired by the Malayan Tapir.





Aren't you glad that there are now more and more interesting sculptures in Singapore now?
It's not a city of concrete jungle only.



This information board for you to read more about it.

i Light Marina Bay 2012 - ArtScience Museum

I just realised the i Light Marina Bay 2012 is over when I visited the festival's website today.
I only went there 2 times and have not finished all the different shows and was hoping to go there the 3rd time.



Last weekend, KopiKosongGirl and I took photos of the ArtScience Museum. The first time we took photos of the Merlion, located at the other end.

It's so nice isn't it?
Creativity, Artistry and Electricity.



The 'petals' of the ArtScience Museum used as a canvas for the video projected.



Love the reflection as well.



It was quite entertaining watching the video.
Did you all go?



For techies, here's the projectors that created those effects.
3 sets of projectors for this location on the Helix Bridge.


There was 4 more projectors near to the Marina Bay Sands building.
Quite a few projectors used.

Did not find out more about the projectors, it was so warm that we went into MBS to cool down ;-)

iLight Marina Bay 2012

Go Fly Kites! Not being rude, but these youngsters known as the Singapore Sky Dancers were really flying kites. Go Fly Kites is the name of their performance.

They were flying kites fitted with colourful lights that has long tail with lights.



My parents in law, wife and I find it very elegant. It's synchronized flying.
Forming patterns that will just "wow" you away.



Go take a look if you are in Singapore these weekends:

Different people see different things.

What do you see here?
I was just looking at this glass building, and I thought to myself, it's a huge jigsaw puzzle!
Look at the sizes of the glass panels, it seems almost every piece is of a different shape and size.

Must be a nightmare fixing them up!



Or maybe it's just optical illusion.
Most of it are of the same size and shape but the eye is tricking you into thinking otherwise.

Glass buildings are attractive don't you think?

Force of Nature

A sculpture at the Marina Barrage.

Force Of Nature, an aluminium and stainless steel structures by Lorenzo Quinn of Spain at the Marina Barrage.



Usually people will take this photo on a sunny day, but this version's on a gloomy day.

Singapore largest solar park

A small country like Singapore always have to boast about it's 'largest' or 'biggest' something.

This photo shows the 'largest' solar park in Singapore. In the background, the 'largest' failure, oops i mean the flyer behind. ;-p




What a day to take this photo, it was cloudy, and I am at the solar park. :-)
Wondering where it is? It's on top of the Marina Barrage, this place makes an effort to be really green. You should visit it!

From the ECP....

When you travel from the East to the West of Singapore on the ECP, along the Benjamin Sheares Bridge, you can see the word Marina Barrage from a far...

This is how it looks if you stand right in front of it. :-)
This is the pump room that pumps the water out of the reservoir in case there's too much water.
Oh, by the way, the water at the other end of the pump room kinda stinks! *cough cough*



The yellow floaters you see from yesterday's photo, you can see it on the bottom left corner of this photo. It starts here.

Danger...

More stuff from the Marina Barrage.

Danger. Keep away...



I like the bright yellow danger floaters.

The water gate at Marina Barrage

These gates (and also the water pumps) regulate the water at the Marina Reservoir.




You can book yourself a free tour to Marina Barrage.
Go to: http://www.pub.gov.sg/Marina/ for more details.

The tour of the Marina Barrage. This free tour starts at the Marina Bridge.



On the right of the bridge, is the sea water which is so clean.

On the left of the bridge, the water is dirty and dark. A mixture of fresh and sea water, need a few more years before the water is slowly filled with fresh water.

Marina Bay Countdown...

Is there going to be a Countdown in your city?

In Singapore, there will be the Marina Bay Countdown. There's going to be lots of fireworks. This photo was taken earlier today, at around noon. Everything seems to be ready. Waiting for the skies to turn dark.

Where would you be tonite at the stroke of midnite?
Well, for me, I will be in church, joining the many churches in Singapore that is having the Watch Nite service thanking the Almighty for the blessings of 2007.

Have a very Blessed 2008!

Construction goes on... Up.. Up..

Cranes. Busy building more buildings in Singapore.



The background is the Raffles Place / Shenton Way financial district of Singapore.
The foreground is the new Marina Bay. After all these cranes have done their work, it will look like how it is described in www.marina-bay.sg
