My World Tuesday - Marinabaysands - The Shoppes (Part 1)

Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort that comprises of hotels, expo and convention centre, casino, celebrity chef restaurants, eating outlets, shopping centre, museums, etc. It is developed by Las Vegas Sands. Marina Bay Sands is the world's second-costliest casino.

Las Vegas Sands named the project as one of the world's most challenging construction projects and certainly the most expensive stand-alone integrated resort property ever built.

For more information on MarinaBaySands, you can view from wikipedia.

This is the inside of The Shoppes of MarinaBaySands. Look how huge it is. I am so impressed.

Wait till you see the hotels of MarinaBaySands (photos of Hotel - coming soon in this blog).

Many of the shops are still not open and under going renovation.
The roof of The Shoppes is really huge and it is energy saving in that sunlight can come into the shopping area and lights are not really needed during the day.

Looked at the circled area in red. There are some construction workers walking on the roof top still doing some renovation works.

What's behind the poster?

Continued from yesterday's post about what's behind the poster. The below photo is part of the poster where I peek through the window. This is what's behind the poster. The final part of the bridge where I am standing.

The bridge where I am standing is very impressive and very very expensive. I will post about the bridge in future post cause I wanted to tell you where the bridge leads to.

The above photo with the window is the same window that's in the poster in the below photo.

The bridge leads to The Shoppes at Marina Bay. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, boasting over 800,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, is Singapore's first large-scale luxury shopping destination. It is part of the MarinaBaySands which comprises of the shopping centre, casino and hotel.

You can find more information from their official website. You can see from their website how big the shoppe is. I will post about the Shoppe in tomorrow's post with photos.

The Shoppes is not fully completed but they will be completed very soon. But the internal of the Shoppes is already open for business.

More photos of The Shoppes coming in tomorrow's post.

What are they peeking at?

What are these people peeking? Actually these people are not real people. From far, I thought I saw people peeking into the windows but when approaching the huge poster, these people are part of the poster's drawings.

Something big and expensive is behind the poster. That's why I was so tired (mentioned in yesterday's post), after walking around the area.

You got to return to find out more about it as I try to sort out the photos in order.

Preparing for National Day 2010 - NDP Rehearsal on 19th June 2010

I saw these soldiers preparing to close part of the road in preparing for the NDP 2010 rehearsal for tonight.

Soldiers getting ready to fire these canons when the President arrived. For this rehearsal, the president wont be coming, someone will pretend to be the president.

Contingents/Performers marching to get ready for the show.

A short video showing part of the road closed for the rehearsal.

I did not stay to watch cause I was very tired. I just came from another venue, will tell you more about where I went in later posts with new photos.

Skywatch Friday - View from the plane

I took these photos last month when I took a plane to Vietnam. The plane just left Singapore and I spotted something from the window. It's a cloud formation that looked like an elephant or dinosaur.

Close up view of the cloud formation. I wonder if you see what I see.
