Singapore Flyer

Taking advantage of the heavily subsidised tickets, i'm taking my very first ride on the Flyer! Since tomorrow is a working day (-_-"), decided to take an early flight so that can go home early.


After waiting for all friends to arrive, the sky is a piece of gloom by the time we were ready to board the flyer. Worse still, raindrops starting falling on the window pane. :(


Ready for take off!

Up up and away!

Lucky it stopped drizzling. But the sky is still dark at the Marina golf course...





Reaching the peak @ 165m

The cityscape

This is supposedly a model of the IR at the end of the ride.

i like this logo of the VIP lounge very much

i just realised i didn't take any nice shots of the whole wheel...

Thank goodness i didn't take the ride at night. With the limitations of my cam and me, nite shots are reduced to this...


The flight is not as scary as i thought. Abeit for some vibrations of the floor when people stomp their way round the cabin (which is quite scary especially if you are squatting and looking down at the ground like me when it happened), the ride was quite eventless and ended in a flash.

Read that the flyer spent a 6-digit sum to change direction of its course this week. Supposedly at the comments of a few feng shui masters. lol. Trust them to do that! After riding the wheel of fortune, maybe got some luck for the toto draw! haha. May the force be with you. :)
