Marina Bay Mist Walk I wandered through the Marina Bay Mist Walk one cool evening in Singapore. This Marina Bay Mist Walk is an area located at the banks of Marina Bay between the Marina Bay Sands hotel and convention centre, and the Marina Bay City Gallery. Fronting the Marina Bay Mist Walk is a boardwalk where one can walk along the bank of Marina Reservoir to enjoy a quiet view of the

2010 SCMS Full Marathon Completion Today, I completed my inaugural 42.195 km long race at the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore. This 2010 SCMS full marathon completion was rewarded with a beautiful full marathon finisher medal, a full marathon finisher T-shirt and plenty of wonderful race memories to treasure. My unofficial full marathon completion time was surprisingly faster than I

Helix Bridge I walked across the Helix Bridge with my family in tow recently. My first few steps walking along the Helix Bridge did not reveal anything unusual about the newest bridge to be built with great fanfare in Singapore. From afar, Helix Bridge looks like a curved bridge. This is confirmed when I find myself walking up the slopes at one end of the Helix Bridge, against the pull of

Youth Olympic Park The Youth Olympic Park is a park dedicated to the Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010 and the youths of the nation. From its name 'Youth Olympic Park', I had imagined that the park was built over an area of near Olympic-sized proportions, filled with representative sports-related amenities for individuals like you and I to try our hands on. Instead, the Youth Olympic Park is

Mooncake Festival: Lantern Play These days, high-tech lanterns that come with dazzling lights, special sound effects and other mind-blowing enhancements are the de facto lanterns for kids. In my childhood days, I used to play with candles, fire and lanterns made of flimsy paper and sticks. The initial set up required moments of careful preparation. We had to unfold lanterns, set them up in the

My Army Half Marathon Race I've just returned from my Army Half Marathon race, a competitive 21 km run around Marina Bay this 12 September 2010 morning. Some reasons that made me sign up to race the 21km race of the Singapore Bay Run and Army Half Marathon: I had already done the 10km Singapore Bay Run on earlier attempts, thus it was time to 'upgrade'. I wanted to experience the largest

Puzzle Pieces For Kids We played with these simple but engaging puzzle pieces for kids on a recent visit to Changi Airport T3. These puzzle pieces for kids could be found at basement 3 of terminal 3.

The Army Half Marathon route will take runners to new routes along the Marina Bay Reservoir. The newest landmark along Bayfront Avenue would be the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.

Singapore Garden Show More photographs taken at the Singapore Garden Festival 2010. I prefer to call it "Singapore Garden Show". No particular reason except that I find this exhibition feels more of a show: you purchase a ticket, turn up and enjoy it like a show and go home. Not much of a festival feel nor interaction needed. Here are some of my personal thoughts on some of the garden show

Passion Run 2010 It takes plenty of passion for a person to push his or her body to run 10 kilometres. It takes even more passion if you try to push your body to its limit in order to better your personal best (PB) times or to set a personal 10km run record (PR). Those with the greatest passion put their legs and bodies through training programmes like interval runs, tempo runs,long distance

Shark In Singapore This is a photograph of a shark in Singapore taken by Seen This Scene That. It is a shark in Singapore that can be found on a wall somewhere on our little island. I took the shot of this shark in Singapore last year. I think it should still be hanging around in the year 2010. As it is too high up to touch, I can't be sure if it is a sculpture of a shark or a real Jaws.
