Orchard Central - Roof Garden -, The Stairs, The Clouds and The Sky Sculptures Part 1


On the 12th Floor of Orchard Central Roof Garden, there are several sculptures worth taking photos of.

Need to stand at different angle to take good photo shots of the sculptures and the sculptures can move when the wind blows. Very well done sculptures.

From this angle, the sculpture looked like missing a head. :)

My World Tuesday - Happy Birthday Singapore

Today is the 46th Birthday of Singapore. Wow I am older than my country...lol.

Singapore had been a part of various local empires since it was first inhabited in the second century AD. It hosted a trading post of the East India Company in 1819 with permission from the Sultanate of Johor. The British obtained sovereignty over the island in 1824 and Singapore became one of the British Straits Settlements in 1826. Singapore was occupied by the Japanese in World War II and reverted to British rule after the war. It became internally self-governing in 1959. Singapore united with other former British territories to form Malaysia in 1963 and became a fully-independent state two years later after separation from Malaysia. Read from source for more about Singapore.

So we gain our independence on 9th August 1965.

This morning, I went to Sentosa for a brisk walk with hubby. Saw this very huge flag with a heart shape made of roses on Sentosa Island just infront of the Images of Singapore Building.

We walked to Sentosa from mainland Singapore via the Sentosa Boardwalk which I posted about in my much earlier post in February 2011.

We saw a huge banner of greetings at the boardwalk. Some wrote very nice words and greetings and some drew on the banner. Very beautiful way to celebrate National Day.

Orchard Central Shopping Mall - Roof Top Garden - Flowers


After viewing the sculptures on the 11th floor of the roof garden of Orchard Central, we climb up the stairs to the 12th floor to view more.

Not many flowers in bloom but enough to attract visitors.



Saw many aquatic plants in the small pool on the roof top.

Pink Saturday - Orchard Central - Roof Garden

If you love arts, Orchard Central is for you.

Very surprised that the roof garden is so pretty with these cute sculptures.

It looked like a giant flower growing on the roof top.

This is the favourite with my little niece. She loves dogs.


The girl sculpture looked like she has pimples on her body..lol.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.

More photos on more sculptures on the roof top of Orchard Central coming soon in another post.

Skywatch Friday - Roof Garden of Orchard Central Shopping Mall

It is strange that whenever I shop, I never thought of going up the rooftop of the shopping mall to have a look. So this time round, I decided to visit the roof top of the mall. Orchard Central has a roof garden which is very beautiful and artistic.

Little niece taking photo of the long super escalator up the roof garden of Orchard Central.


Just follow the signs to the Roof Garden.

From the roof garden, I am able to view the surrounding buildings in Orchard Road.




Did not know there's a pool on the roof top of Orchard Point just opposite Orchard Central where I was standing.

Roof Top of Centrepoint, take note of the garden where the garden was, the word Centrepoint being landscaped.

For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch blog

Please return to see more of the roof garden.
