The Singapore Bandstand

Apart from all the stunning views that we all have seen recently from my previous posts, the Bandstand is what I like the most aside from the Orchid Garden.



The present octagonal structure of this was built in 1930 and staged early evening performances by military bands for many years. Though no longer used for music, but it was still one of the best known features in the Garden.


It was surrounded by long winding road of ground orchids...known as Vanda Miss Joaquim, the National Flower of Singapore.



Carefully designed around precious historic trees...

 


 

Green landscaped ideal for some family bonding and fellowship activities....



A great place for inexpensive yet romantic dating. :) Better pack your picnic baskets before going here. Though there were some restaurants or some outlet selling food in the area but it's quiet far and of course expensive. Just make sure to clear your rubbish before leaving.

Just by a distance was a small cave with its relaxing sound of the waterfalls.

ALIEN 3D EXPERIENCE

Image
Hi guys, how you doin' this past few days? It was a two weeks long holiday, and I hope your holiday got off to a great start :) Well, you've got to enjoy every single minute of it, because right after this long hiatus...we'll be facing a long to-do lists of school works not to mention the Cambridge exams soon on October. Huh! Anyway, luckily I was invited by my friend, Geraldine, to pay a visit to their house in Bekasi, West Java Indonesia. It was a smooth almost one hour ride from Jakarta. We headed down to the Summarecon Mall Bekasi before going to their place. Going around, one section of the mall that gripped my attention was their 3D shows entitled "Alien on Earth". And I asked my friend, "Do aliens really exist?". Both of us have the same answer "Maybe". So to cut the story short, we bought our ticket to unravelled this alien's mysterious life on Earth. It was actually the masterpiece of Denny Darko, one of the famous In...

Exploring the Green Country of Singapore

Introduction Sorry to start this entry this late. Work has been crazy, trying to finish up my work before posting this blog trip, and I am trapped inside the temptation of gaming world.....Farmville, Diner Dash, Sudoko and many others to mentioned! Thanks to my friend, Anton, who inspired me into the world of blogging..so to spend my time more useful now and more passionate. I’ve flown around here before to processed my working (B)visa last September 2009. The school where I work with sponsored my Singapore Airline's ticket and all other expenses and allowances...what a privileged one! I'm so blessed and fortunate aside from no worries on the budget but it was my first time overseas (or out of the country more like). Directly from the airport, I headed to Hilton Hotel where I had a business meeting with my agent.  These photos will serve as memories of the place. Opps!...never mind the date on the picture...it's just like I haven't updated the date in my camera. Sorry f...

A Drive - Thru Taman Safari

Image
We often see a zoo where animals are put behind the bars or the "open concept" kind of zoo in Singapore where the animals are enclosed in their natural settings. But my experienced in Taman Safari I Indonesia yesterday was totally unique where "we" are the one in the cage instead of the wild animals. The cage I'm referring to was our car which we use to go around. It is a drive - thru safari style zoo. Animals are set free and wandering around the car and on the streets. We bought 3 bundles of carrots along the road for only 20,000 rupiahs to feed them. Thanks to the woman selling it, she gave us big discounts for it. All carrots we bought are still fresh. It is pretty neat to feed the animals from our car window. We are asked to close our car windows when we enter the Wildlife Zone. We saw lots of African lion, Bengal tiger, cheetah and others. Some of my male friends at the back of the car are very naughty. They keep on opening the window despite of the park ...
