Last Saturday was an exciting one as I get to cover an international sailing competition which happened at The Promontory@Marina Bay. Extreme 40 Stadium Racing. This race attracted intentional media attention. 3…2…1…Action! Camera roll. The Extreme Sailing Series™ is simply a competition where the bestprofessional sailing teams in the world get to outwit each other on identical Extreme 40 catamarans which are two-hulled sailboats. The sails had neatled blended into Singapore’s city skyline. Have you witness the floating skyscrapers creeping into our shores ? When the Extreme 40 race was about to start, I hopped on to this speed boat along…

Media Preview – Spring Celebrations 2013 at Gardens by the Bay
As the part of the media, we get to sit in these cruisers for a short tour. Even before the lunar new year begins, the whole town is already soaked into the mood of this coming festive season. That’s our Singapore trait – we always ever-ready and ahead of the rest. It’s no different at Gardens By the Bay where the Spring Celebrations floral display has just been newly installed at the Flower Dome. Admire the beautiful cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and peonies (my favourite!) as you take a stroll in a garden, with a cool and humidified surroundings, enclosed in glass dome. Take a deep fresh breath as you…

A Visit to the ArtScience Museum : The Art of Brick, Fujians and Magnum Photos
It was my first time stepping into ArtScience Museum. This state-of-the-art museum is one of a kind in Singapore because it has hosted some of the renowned touring exhibitions such as Titantic and Harry Potter. Both the interior and exterior of the museum is stunning. It is now that I’ve understood why there is a huge pond,with pink and purple lotus flowers, encircling the museum. It’s simply because the architecture of the museum was a structure reminiscent to the shape of a lotus flower. Last beautiful Sunday, I was invited by Marina Bay Sands to tour the four current exhibitions at the museum – The Art of Brick, Fujians: the…

Marina Bay Countdown 2013: The Dawn of a New Beginning
Spending the first 8 mins in 2013 to enjoy a dazzling display of fireworks in the sky with music played in the background at Marina Bay is amazing. I don’t think I’ve done a countdown in this lion city before. The Countdown I know, it’s crazy and it just makes no sense that I’m a Singaporean and I’ve never been to Marina Bay’s Countdown before. Having said that, everyone should at least experience Singapore’s Official countdown. If you haven’t, there’s always next year. But you have to wait for another 365 days for the next countdown. In the meantime, enjoy viewing some of the photos below which I’ve taken on…
