HUGH JACKMAN

Hugh Jackman, the Wolverine, dropped by the Gardens by the Bay and went into the Flower Dome to catch a glimpse of the floral display. Attached are photos taken by staff and not by me.

TULIPMANIA VIDEO

I know the TulipMania was over for 3 weeks already but anyway, here is a clip of the event at Gardens by the Bay.

The first thing that one sees on the 57th floor SkyPark of the Marina Bay Sands is the magnificent bird's eye view of the region, particularly the Gardens by the Bay (GB). It was so surreal to see all these up there, as if we are soaring high above in the sky looking down at the smallness of everything that appears so huge to us on the ground.

The grounds of GB looked so raw with its bare soil but the massive structures are all coming up. The 2 clams, as I called it, are gigantic and beautiful and adds on to the durians (The Esplanade) in this area. The super trees are also a sight to behold, especially when one sees it on the ground from the road. The scale and cluster of different heights of super trees are also reminiscent of a natural landscape.

In the background are Marina Barrage, Marina East, East Coast, Tanjong Rhu, Singapore Flyer, Beach Road areas, all rolled into one spectacular panoramic view. And to me, that was the most wonderful thing when you are up there. Nothing beats that!

GARDENS BY THE BAY

We were on the way to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and I took these photos of the super trees at the upcoming Gardens by the Bay (GB). This is like a prelude to the garden and its presence is definitely felt by all drivers who ply along the East Coast Parkway (ECP) with the erection of these super trees and construction of a pedestrian garden bridge linking the garden to the MBS area.

These are the 2 venues for the upcoming 20th World Orchid Conference 2011 (WOC) in Nov hosted in Singapore for the first time. Come Nov 2011 and visitors would be able to have a first glimpse of and entry to GB at its Flower Dome.
