Skywatch Friday - Haw Par Villa - Buddha Statues

I love taking photos of the different types of buddha statues in the park. Am not familar with the names of the different buddha but I think the above photo is that of the smiling buddha. Not only do the buddha have different names but the way the buddha posed are just as important. To learn more about the meaning of the poses you can view from here For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch Blog

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.

Skywatch Friday - Ilight Show 2012 - Stick Man


The Marina Bay Sands looked so beautiful at night.

One of the highlights of Ilight 2012 is the stickman art installation display. The art installation was by Groupe LAPS is a group of six artists and designers from France. The display of more than twenty static stick figures. When paired with an electrifying soundtrack, the lights create a choreographed display which evokes movement, activity and a festive atmosphere.

Can find this art installation infront of the floating platform and opposite the Marina Bay Sands Art Museum.

Do looked across the floating platform where there's another display of light on the Art Museum. The light display on the museum was by Hexogon Solution Singapore. Garden of Light is an ambitious projection on the surface of the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands incorporating a variety of light and sound effects to tell a story about environmental sustainability and highlight the beauty of the natural world. I got the display on the second video below.

Very interesting video on the stickman art installation display.

Please view the light show on the MBS museum in the above video, sorry for the shaky video cause I was trying to walk nearer towards the edge of the river bank to take a better view of the museum.

Skywatch Friday - I Fly

A new attraction has already opened on Sentosa. I Fly is the world’s largest themed wind tunnel for indoor skydiving.


It looked so interesting to be able to fly in the air but not for me cause I think my old bones will all be shattered with the strong wind hahahaha. But I think my two sons will tried this new game.


A short video showing the instructors giving demonstrations.

Training in process.
Very easy to acess this new attraction, it is just beside the monorail beach station.

Skywatch Friday - Year of the Dragon

Visited the annual Sentosa Flower Show and this being the Year of the Dragon, we could see many dragons decorations on the island. They were all made from many flowers. But I missed the 12 animal zodiacs that were there every year. This year they were all absent except for the dragons.

Skywatch Friday - Botanic Garden Singapore

These photos were taken last month but hardly have time to post. Visited the Botanic Garden via the newly built Circle Line MRT. The station was along Bukit Timah Road so the entrance to the garden is different from the one via Orchard Road.


The sun's direction made the words "Botanic Garden" on the gate hard to see so I had to take the reverse side of the gate.

The garden is quite huge and we walked a long way towards the central of the garden.

Saw this beautiful stage where at night during the weekend, there were be some performance.

Skywatch Friday - Singapore Skyline


Looking at Singapore skyline from Marina Boulevard. Usually we will look at the skyline from Esplanade or Marina Bay Sands Hotel so this time I take a reverse view of the skyline. The above photo where two tortoise like shells is the Esplanade (theatre).

The 3.5km waterfront promenade provides a continuous route linking the Marina Centre, Collyer Quay and Bayfront areas.

Taking a stroll from Marina Bay Sands towards Marina Boulevard via the Marina Waterfront. Best to walk in the evening or night where the weather is cooler.

‘Mist Walk’ – a 250-m long sculptural, tubular stainless steel structure that sprays clouds of mist to reduce ambient temperature and provide a cooling experience in the day. Note in the above photo, clouds of mist spraying out.

View of uncompleted office buildings at Marina Boulevard. This is the new financial district of Singapore. There's also condominium in here and they are really costly. Some of these buildings comes with energy-saving, high impact glass floor-to-ceiling windows and doors


Right in the middle of all the tall buildings in Marina Boulevard is a green square where activities are conducted. Spotted this group of teenagers having some promotion for their activities.



Short video of the Singapore skyline from Marina Boulevard.
