Place I have been - Ion Sky park

After visiting the dazzling heights of MBS Skypark, we have another Sky park in Singapore - Ion Sky. Situated on the 55 floor of Orchard Ion, this park promise a bird eyes view of Singapore heartland such as Bukit Timah, Alexandra and Macritchie reservoir.

The Ion sky park view is different from MBS. Compare the photos between MBS and Ion Sky below and see the differences. Other differences are
1) Ion Sky is totally air-conditioned! So no danger of winds blowing you off the roof;
2) Ion Sky is totally sheltered. No need to bring umbrella in the first place!
3) It is smaller than MBS skypark.
4) The Ion park is opened by Cloud observatory club, so geography teachers interested in teaching students about clouds should pay Ion Sky a visit!

Personally, I feel that I would love to feel the flutter of the wind on my face at such great heights!

At the bottom of the park, I discover that there is a free entry art gallery. I have also taken some of the photos and attached them below. To go to the sky park, you need to purchase a $16 tickets or the not so friendly security guard may just boot you out!

Since there are several educational information on clouds and their formation, I am happy to include location as part of random places and place it under educational category.

If you need transportation services to visit this place, please refer to our product listing page.

Places I have been -Kampong in Buangkok

I first heard about this place from Neil Humphrey - Author of book such as Notes from an even smaller island - and have finally decided to pay it a visit a few days ago.

The Kampong itself is pristine in a sense that it retains it most original flavour and culture. What hit you are the transformation of the area from a HDB sub-urban environment to a really lay back Kampong Village that you swear you will never find it in mainland Singapore.

The walk itself was quite great as it bypass small river streams, lovely archways, beautiful scrubs and bushes. The residents there in general are bemused with the folks walking through their Kampong. Be advise thou, from my quick glance, some of those residents own land and big cars that are parked at their doorways! Base on wiki search, these may be the original landlords that rent out the houses situated in the Kampong to people since the 1960s!

Places I have been - Sentosa Boardwalk

During my Secondary School days, I have participated in a mass walk across the then newly built bridge that link Singapore mainland to Sentosa.

Now the walk has been enhanced with travellator and restaurant with fantastic view.

Build with two way travellator; you do not have to move more than 10 steps to reach Sentosa from Singapore mainland. I find this quite amazing as I remember the hassle in the past.

To get to Sentosa will involve either buying ferry tickets from counter followed by taking a 15 to 20 minutes journey to Sentosa or an expensive cable car ride.

Well take a look at the new link in the pictures below!

Random Places I have been - Demsey Hill

Hi guys Happy New Year. Now the next place (Demsey Hill) I am going to blog about does not meet my blog objective, therefore, it will be classified as random places I have been to. However, I really like the atmosphere around this place and feel that you guys can have an enjoyable time there too!

Dempsey Hill from what I can gather was a old military place that has seen been converted to a place where people can have a meal within a place that is quite well..arty.

In the hill you can find all sorts of art related industries ...from art galleries to wood workshop to sculpture workshop to furniture display room to artistic pedicure workshop. Even the water fountain is a work of art!

While I was there, I dine at the House followed by a coffee at Dome and laze away the afternoon while waiting for the rain to stop. I am not food critic but well, it is good. Purchase some salts at Jones Grocery and spend some minutes admiring arts (costing at least $10k) hanging on the various galleries. I have already decided to be an artist once I can design...I am good at abstract art.

Well take a look at some of the pictures I have taken. Oh if I offended anyone because of the copyright of art piece or nature of the picture do email me at longtian41@gmail.com and I will remove it immediately.

This place will be classified as part of places I have been to.

Place I have been - Filming of bridal shots at Sand Village

It has been an interesting two weeks. Recently, the owner of Singaporebridal.com and singaporewedding.com has approached me in allowing them access to take some bridal photos at our Sand Depository Company.

It is an interesting idea that such location can be used as a good location shot for your wedding album. I decided to post here to let those unwed to have a new location to consider when their turn come.

Oh by the way, there are alot of photos but copyrighted are held by the owner, I can only post some photos here as I have left the shoot halfway.

The model is from Russia, this is my first close up look on a model. It is futile for mortals like us to compare against their poise and gracefullness. I remember during one scene when the photographer is reviewing his shots, a minder ask the model to relax her pose. Her reply was "I am not posting, I am just standing"
