The Singapore Flyer

I think I forgot mention that I went to SIngapore Flyer last Friday. It was a trip funded by the school for all teachers to attend. The observation wheel stands high at a stunning 165 metres - exceeding the London Eye by 43 metres. Which ones nicer? The eye of london has 32 capsules which can hold 25 people in it. It can also be used to host corporate meetings and other conventions. The SIngapore flyer capsule can accomodate to 28 people and there are altogether 28 capsules. There is sure something about the number 28 isn't it...
Although lack of originality, I have to say it is sure to become an iconic visitors attraction. The surrounding area is as captivating as the wheel itself. The man-made Asian rainforest sits at the foot of the flyer and the waterfront dining promenade is really beautiful at night.
But what caught my attention the most was - the mechanism driving the capsule and the structure. Hahah.. yes, engineering students.
Anyway, So Olin, how's my phototaking techniques? Now, will you take me in as your apprentice.
By the way, we also went to the Hort Park - near Alexandra. I have not uploaded the pics. Shall do it soon. An interesting place. Some place you might want to bring you children too for some outdoor learning activites. But pls DO NOT go noon time. Don't say I didn't warn you. You will get fried.
