The Singapore Flyer

Besides being taken ill a few days back, these days have been rather relaxing. I've finished Gossip Girl Season 1 in three days and it's indeed the dope for all American dramas. (Quotes Kristen). Oh and i've also finished Kyle XY Season 2.

What's to come? 5 additional episodes of Grey's Anatomy Season 4 and Gossip Girl in end April due to the bloody writer's strike. I'll talk more about Gossip Girl soon. Until then, another belated entry.. enjoy. ;)

Last Thursday, I went to the Singapore Flyer with Chongqing and John. Our lunch was split into 2 parts. We ate at Seasons Reasons prior to the ride and at The Soup Spoon after that..

Chongqing told us about the symbolism of that gigantic ferris wheel and it's relation to the water spitting creature. Oh it's called the Merlion by the way. The view of the entire city from the capsule, on the wheel was breathtaking, especially at the point where we were right at the top of the wheel. Somehow , every single landmark looked familiar as compared to when i was in Taiwan where every building looked unfamiliar. Anyway, we decided to take emo shots. Here's one Chongqing took for me..

I personally felt the effect would've been much better if we weren't capsuled. That means, if we had the chance to breathe the air and feel the breeze at such a height, i'm sure our half hour ride would be even more memorable.. Ha ha...
Alright.. i'm ending off with some of the scenic shots taken..
