A Night On The Singapore Flyer

Met up with the Berrick’s last night who are here for a couple of weeks over the Easter break. We met up at the Bungy Bar at Clarke Quay for a few pints and to watch the Waratahs v Bulls Super 14 game, a disappointing result for the Tahs so we headed off to get a bite to eat at Makansutra after a recommendation from my mate Roy Tan. I had some Motobak which wasn’t great and was mostly onion while the rest had differing types of noodle dishes, which all gave me food envy. You live and you learn, and after paying more than we expected for what we got, we headed along to the Singapore Flyer for our night flight.

Some wheeling and dealing later and we managed to get a whole capsule to ourselves, just the four of us, which was really nice as the next capsule was loaded with screaming kids, not who we really wanted to share our ‘flight’ with. The whole journey took about half an hour, unfortunately Anthony’s battery died so it was only me taking photos, and I really should have brought my tripod, some of the pics would have turned out a lot better had I been a bit more stable with my shots, but a few pints will do that to any photo, and I’m sticking to that story.

It’s quite a surreal experience but fantastic at night, especially when we reached the summit (around 168 meters above sea level) looking down on the city of Singapore, during the day you would have been able to see up to 45km away, which would make it easy to see parts of Malaysia and Indonesia. I snapped a few pics, some good, some not so good and need some post-processing in Lightroom when I can get some time, i’ve uploaded them anyway cause I’m too hungover to do anything else at the moment…

Happy Easter! I’m off to tuck into some chocolate eggs…
