Marina Barrage!
Helloooooooooooooooo ;D
Note: Major photo spam ahead. ;P
Whew, I just came back from Suntec City and Marina Barrage (: And Marina Barrage is damn cool I’m telling you. Actually, there’s nothing really cool about it, just that it’s really windy there, it’s huge and it’s very… Uh… Relaxing?
So today, around the late afternoon, my parents and I intended to go to Suntec City to do some shopping at Carrefour. But unfortunately, when we were reaching there, there was this road block and we were redirected by the traffic police to some other random road. And then, idk why, we anyhow turn here turn there, and ended up at…
MARINA BARRAGE! ;D (Oh and btw, my dad kept complaining that the $2 ERP charge is ridiculous, and he gave a whole list of reason, complaining about it for the rest of the day. Now still complaining.)
Basically, Marina Barrage, according to those information posters, is a reservoir in the city, or sth like that. And I shan’t elaborate further, ‘cos you will prolly be bored to death. So, photos!
Oh dear, why are the photos taking so long to transfer?! Be patient… (Photos not in chronological order…)
Yay, am finally done with the pictures. Maybe I shall elaborate on some of them, starting from the top.
For the very very first picture, please do not mistake it for a drain or canal, but if I am not wrong, it is the BARRAGE itself (:
Then, for the pictures of me and my mom where I wore those sunglasses, I know I look weird in them ‘cos they are my Mom’s and she said that if I don’t wear then the sunlight will hurt my eyes and stuff… So don’t laugh. My favourite picture now is the one where I show the two peace signs. Beautifully taken, yea? ;D
Then for pictures with helicopter(s) in them, they were actually taken when they were flying right above my head during the NDP’09 rehearsal. They so happen to fly past the Marina Barrage and so happen to fly above my head. So I was panicking while taking the pictures, so they were not beautifully taken. But it was a fantastic sight then ;D
Then there’s this bird’s eye view of the Marina Barrage. I begged the person in the helicopters to give me a lift so that I can take the picture. Nah, you know I’m just kidding, I took that picture from a poster there :P
Then the picture of the helicopter with the Singapore flag, but this time the helicopters were beside me. Like a few metres away. Damn awesome. And once again, I was panicking, so they weren’t beautifully taken.
Lastly, those that are not mentioned are pictures beautifully taken by me at the Marina Barrage (:
Then after that, we went to Suntec. And that’s about it. I hope you all find looking at the pictures enjoyable.
Buhbye!
Cheryl :)
