New Environment

I have worked for my current company for more than 1 month, I have been visiting clients all over the island.

I took some photos of some interesting places that I have visited during my 1 month of walking around....

I took this picture when I was travelling around ECP. I was on my way to Singapore Indoor Stadium.
This biggest ferris wheel, The Singapore Flyer, is the biggest you can find in Singapore and it will be completed in March 2008. Located in Marina Bay, you will be able to see Singapore city, from Changi Airport to Sentosa Island and also parts of Malaysia and Indonesia when you are at the top. Breathtaking view!!

The following pictures are taken when I was on my way to meet my client at Robertson Quay. Everytime I see this bridge when travelling in a car, I always wanted to take a closer look at this bridge. Colorful bridge really catches my attention.


This Alkaff Bridge was painted in vibrant colors by a Filippino artist Pacita Abadand and a team of rope specialists. This team used 52 different colors and more than 900 litres of industrial strength paint to turn a normal looking bridge into a colorful structure.

The next place has something to do with Singapore history. Located in Telok Ayer Street, Thian Hock Keng Temple is one of the oldest temple in Singapore.



This temple was erected in 1821 and it was a main point of dismbarkation for the early Chinese immigrants. These immigrants then offered their prayers of thanks to the main deity of the temple - Ma Cho Po (Mother of the Heavenly Sages) for protecting them during the sea journeys.

The next location is all about fun, sun and sand - Siloso Beach! I went there for a walk after an appointment at Underwater World in Sentosa! I haven't been to Underwater World before. Trust me, it's worth the money to go there for an interactive time with the fishes. You can even have your "pedicure" done by fishes for a reasonable amount. I even know that these fishes are called "Garra Rufa".


I haven't been to a beach for a long long time. I really enjoy every moment on the beach - the breeze, the sound of waves, the wind and the sand. A nice way to end a day of running around the city.

After leaving Sentosa before it turns dark, I passed by the latest shopping centre - Vivocity. I wonder if it's there for a reason. Maybe it's because of the next upcoming thing in Singapre - IR. If you have shop at Vivocity before, you will understand what I mean. All the shops are of high end brands. You know what I mean?
