Night scenes around Singapore

Happy 2010! Long waited for this post my friends! I just came back from Penang, yes… spent my New Year in Penang. These shots were taken with Pentax K-X on Christmas and before New Year in Singapore. We had a fun time hopping around the city with our Penang relatives.

Somehow, I still prefer the Christmas lights along Orchard in 2008. There were bigger and brighter decorations about the “Sweets Family” back then.

Colourful decorative lights along Orchard road last Christmas.

The giant Christmas tree standing at Raffles City.

I was also pretty lucky to win 3 tickets for the Singapore Flyer from a Christmas party! Or perhaps, Melissa was lucky. Who would expect to win 3 tickets instead of just a pair? A ticket costs S$29.50 for a 30 mins flight on the world’s largest observation wheel.

Up, up and away! Quite an awesome skyline view of the city area and the waterfront architecture. The blue illuminating dots are just floating balls on the water surface that reflected the blue light shine on them.

Singapore Flyer capsules.

It’s light doodling time! We were once Angels by the sea …

I blogged about this attraction before in Aug 2008 – Merlion Park. Not much difference except you see the tall buildings of the Integrated Casino Resorts that are still under construction. The project is slated to complete in April this year, maybe?

The skyline of Singapore city.

Esplanade in the background. The tall building is the 5-star luxury Swissotel the Stamford, one of the tallest hotels in Southeast Asia.

The iconic feature of Singapore – the Merlion, with a starburst!

Alright, the fifth photo with the Merlion, pretty “Merlion-obsessive” today.

That’s the Integrated Casino Resorts behind the Benjamin Sheares Bridge, the longest bridge in Singapore.

Clarke Quay at the Singapore River waterfront. I blogged about Clarke Quay before in 2008 too!

Riverside Point.

Reversed Bungy. One jump at S$45!

The Central mall.

The Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City, designed according to Feng Shui. At certain periods, when the giant fountain is turned off, visitors can walk towards the centre and around the smaller fountain for good luck. You would be surprised for the long queue at times! There is laser show at night and everyone can dedicate laser messages via the computer screen at the entrance of the fountain. I wanted to key in “Travelerfolio” in the message but we all wasted too much time giggling away while inputing the message and the connection timed out.

Read Singapore Snows!

Hope you have a great start of the year! I’ve more updates soon. See you again!

Singapore Snows

It doesn’t snow everywhere in Singapore. At certain times in December, it snows at Tanglin Mall. It snows BUBBLES!

You can tell how much the kids love the “snow” play. They are going gaga over “snowing frenzy”!

Obviously, the HARDCORE one… facing directly at the bubble blowhole!

Hey raincoat kid, that’s a smart move.

The adults are loving it too.

And drivers get free bubbles car wash.

You still need to clean up the bubbles, just like shoving the snow!

Washing area for the bubble-kids.

Where on earth is Tanglin Mall?

163 Tanglin Road. The mall is located at the junction of Tanglin Road & Grange Road. You know it’s in Singapore right?

Snow sessions in Tanglin Mall. Until when? I’m not sure. But some say it’s until 31st Dec.

Snow: 7.30pm & 8.30pm daily (subject to weather conditions)

Nearest MRT: Orchard station.
Cross to Borders and walk straight down the stretch of malls until you reach Tanglin Mall. It takes about 15 mins walk. Ask around if not sure.

The open-top sightseeing Hippo tour bus for tourists.

Merry Christmas!

Some leftovers…

Yes it’s 27 Dec today.. but I still have many X’mas pics yet to publish. Anyway, not to waste any leftovers, let’s “finish” them before 2008 ends! I was told not to take any pic in this office building except their Christmas tree. But the reflection on the bells hanging on the tree “betrayed” them. Ok ok, just being childish. XD

This is a very “oriental” Christmas tree by the look at the ornaments hanging on it. Not only that, the tree is upside down. I don’t know if it has other meanings, but if you are a Chinese, some auspicious words being placed upside down means “luck arrives”, so for the inverted Christmas tree, does it mean “Christmas arrives”? ^^ Read More »

Laser Show at Fountain of Wealth, Suntec City

A short clip of Precious Moments laser show on water screen at the Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City, Singapore on Christmas day. Quality is not good though, don’t expect much from a cellphone video cam. @_@

According to Fengshui masters, visitors who walk around the central base of the Suntec city Fountain of Wealth 3 times while touching the water would gain good luck. The shape of the fountain is designed according to Fengshu. The inward flowing of water of the fountain symbolises the retention of wealth for Suntec City and riches pouring in, and water is the symbol of life and wealth in Chinese culture. That’s why it’s named The Fountain of Wealth.

MeRRy ChRiSTMaS!

Update: Snow Play @ Tanglin Mall 2009

Season’s Greetings from Singapore! This is the first X’mas for Travelerfolio! I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Supposed to take “snowing” pictures outside Tanglin Mall, located at Tanglin road (near Orchard road), Singapore. But the “snow play” ended before we reached there. The huge Christmas tree here is decorated with thousands of recycled bottles.

Apparently, some kids wearing swimming suits were disappointed when they didn’t catch the “snow play”. Read More »

Christmas Videos from Singapore!

Hey guys! We took some short videos along Orchard road! The quality is not that good but you can take a glimpse of how Christmas looks like without snow. XD Anyway you will hear some songs that were playing on radio at the time of recording, like “Turn back the clock” and “Womanizer”! XD

The Sweet mascots were dancing, I think it was a game show, with volunteers wearing the mascot costumes. Can you spot me?
