River View ...

Two weeks ago, I went for a family lunch with a magnificent view over the Central Business District and Singapore River. I managed to take some photos of the skyline, which is not something we can see everyday, unless one happens to be working in one of those skyscrapers around the business district.

The Singapore River, flanked by the bridge, conserved shophouses and City Hall

The building with the colourful windows is the Ministry of Communication and the Arts (the former National Police Headquarters)

Half-Day City Tour

Today, the last day of the Conference, we brought the delegates on a half-day city tour to Marina Barrage, Pinnacles at Duxton and Merlion Park. It was a hot day, and upon reaching Merlion Park, I could tell that most of the delegates were too tired to move anymore, so they all started sitting in the shade.

Still, it was a great time bringing them around and letting them enjoy some unique spots on this little island. I took many photos for keepsake too!

First stop - Marina Barrage

Second stop - Pinnacles @ Duxton

Revolving doors leading to the lift lobby






The sky garden on top of the Pinnacles





The sun-tanning deck

This looks like a pool, but actually it is not. It is just a patch of blue paint.

There is even a small rock-climbing spot at the other side of the sky garden!

Third stop - Merlion Park

The Merlion spewing water
