Skywatch Friday - Keppel Harbour

Took these photos few weeks back but no time to post them, been busy lately. Saw this book (not a real book) infront of Vivo City. Keppel Harbour is a stretch of water between Singapore and Sentosa.
You can read the history of Keppel Harbour from the photos.
The water in here is deep enough for huge ship to anchor here. In the background is a cruise ship. Till now I have yet go on one. :(
Sky was turning very dark and very windy, nice to just sit here and enjoy the sea breeze.

My World Tuesday - Marina Bay Sand Rain Oculus

This art installation is located where Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands' retail mall and the Waterfront Promenade meet.

Ned Kahn’s Rain Oculus is a 22-meter diameter acrylic bowl set on a 90-ton steel structure. It releases a swirling vortex of water from a hole in its base to the canal that runs two stories below.

The rain oculus started from the upper level which collect rain water and at certain times of the day, the rain water will flow through the centre hole and flow into the lower level into the small canal and the water was also been recycled for other uses.

The water will swirl round the bowl and flow down like a waterfall, very interesting to view. The boatman will row the boat around the area to the delight its passengers.

Visitors to Marina Bay Sands also uses the huge bowl like a wishing well and tossing coins into it. The target was getting the coin into the hole.

A short video of the water being released from the bowl into the canal.

My World Tuesday - Skating at Marina Bay Sands

Was at Marina Bay Sands, was surprised to see a skating ring inside MBS, the skating floor is not real ice but synthetic surface, which is as close as skating on real ice.

Cost: $7 per hour for adults and $6 per hour for children, with skates rental at $3 for the first hour. The skating rink just opened this month. I think they should also provide helmets, looked so dangerous to me. Will the kids fall on the floor and hit their heads? But what do I know about skating, I dont skate.




A short video of the skating rink from the above.
