Singapore Flyer!!!

Finally get a ride on the Singapore Flyer, a treat from my dear wife because it is my birthday! Like an excited child who saw a new toy, I keep rushing my wife to hurry up so that we can catch the sunset view. We got onto the ride around 7pm. The capsule is quite spacious, and hold about 9 people during our ride, with a lot of excess space for walking and viewing.

Slow and steady it turns, and the view of the east side of Singapore starts to show . As it slowly rise, the view get broader and further... beautiful! And slowly, the view of our CBD and Marina area unveils. At around 7:15pm, the sunset is seen right behind the CBD area. Glittering sunlight shining through the skyscrapers... I believe this view is only visible on top of the Flyer and no where else!

The last part of the view is the future IR. Grand! Even before its completion you will be facsinated by the view as you will see a lot of cranes, a lot of constuction vehicles, ongoing constuction buildings fully occupying the big piece of land. All of a sudden, I feel hopeful and optismistic, as I know this is the future iconic landmark of Singapore, another achievement which will again makes the little red dot stands out from the rest of the world!

And of course, I must thank my wife for giving me an unforgettable birthday treat!!! Muacks!
