The Versatile Blogger

Today I got an award from Autumn Belle but I realised I also got the same award from CC just last month...lol. So thank you to Autumn Belle, here is the award that I got earlier.

Yayyyy, another award from CC of Lacenribbonroses.

I am supposed to tell seven things about myself.

1. I love reading and viewing CC's blog, she has a lot of beautiful and nice crafts.
2. I am so very afraid of being alone in the dark...lol.
3. I love collecting keychains from all over the world.
4. I wish I have more time to do some crafts.
5. I love taking photos of things around me that interests me.
6. Love gatherings with family members.
7. Love to explore new shopping mall, not necessary to shop but window shop is also very ideal.

Thank CC for the award.

Skywatch - Financial District

This is the view from The Helix Bridge. The buildings are all in the financial district.

The sky looked clear and healthy and not polluted. The platform on the right of the photo will be the opening ceremony for the coming Youth Olympic Games in August.

Did you spot The Merlion in the background?

The Helix - Art Gallery

The Helix Bridge also double as an art gallery for children's paintings.

Saw these arts done by primary school children. They are beautiful.

My World Tuesday - The Helix Bridge

Last week, I introduced the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort. You can see the hotel in the background. From where I am standing, it is the entrance of The Helix Bridge which you can see on the left of the photo. The bridge connected directly to the resort.

This is the world first double helix curved bridge. It is about 280 metre long and the whole bridge looked like a DNA double helix. The steel tubes form the minor and major helix that spiral in opposite directions. At night the bridge will be illuminated and will be very beautiful. I will come another day during the night and take more photos.

The bridge is not fully covered. So you need an umbrella if it rains. But the walk across the bridge takes only about 10 minutes. But most take longer as they try to admire the bridge and the surrounding scenery.

At the side of the bridge are several such balcony.

Lots of steel were used to make this bridge.

Please visit "That's my World" for photos of other parts of the world.

Skywatch Friday - Marina Bay Sands Hotels

Marina Bay Sands was officially opened two days ago.

Marina Bay Sands Hotel - it comprises of three 55 storey towers. The three towers are connected by a roof which is known as the Skypark. The Skypark has a 360 degrees view of Singapore. It must be very beautiful. Visitors can view Singapore from the skypark and it is free for hotel guests while others have to pay $20 to visit the skypark.

I am not sure if I want to pay $20 to view from the top. I can just go to any highrise buildings to view Singapore free of charge....lol. But I might change my mind...hahaha.

I am very impressed by the whole building. The roof looked like a space ship or boat.

The hotel and The Shoppes (which I had posted earlier) are connected via a bridge.

On the official opening, 21 climbers from different countries were invited to climb up the three towers. The winner of the climbing competition is from Singapore. Yayyyyyy. You can view more news and photos from the MBS official website.

Love the reflection of the clouds on the window panels of the hotel.
