Singapore Flyer

Not long ago, i visited the Singapore Flyer. It has been opened for about 6 months and i finally decided i should pay this new attraction a visit. Wanted to go earlier with my sisters, but my dAjie is afraid of heights, so we decided to spare her the agony.

Here i am posing with the flyer. I couldn't get a complete pic of the ferris wheel, as i would need to capture it from far far away, so decided that the photo of a miniature version in the gift shop should suffice...haha...

Ahhh...on my way up, this is what i saw! The Formula 1 pit-garages still under construction. It was really sunny that day, so everything was crystal clear from our capsule. I was lucky to be there early, so the attendants didn't pack us like sardines into the capsules. There were only four of us inside this one, so there were lots of photo-taking opportunities.

Hey, did i just see a 70% bargain sale in MNG over at Suntec City?? Get me out of here!! Haha... anyway, look how majestic the Benjamin Sheares Bridge seem from this height.

And, here i am posing in another direction. Just near the tip of my head is the twin peaks that we call 'Esplanade'. And just nearer, blocked by the capsule wall, is the floating platform for the National Day Parade '08. I was at the flyer just a day after the Singapore National Day, so i could see workers dismantling the stage as we circled by.

Oohh .... this photo is taken right at the peak of the ride. In this direction, the flyer is moving towards the Central Business District area, and just beside me is the messy array of the currently constructing Integrated Resort @ Marina Bay. Look how empty the capsule beside mine was. On my way down, after the 30 minute ride, the attendants were already packing 10-15 people per capsule.

There it is...money come money come... after a consultation with a feng shui master, the Singapore Flyer changed its rotation direction such that it moves towards the Central Business District, where all the money-making business are.
