I saw my favourite dog of the day! It's pristine white and very cute. Anyone knows the breed?
It's friend-friend mate ka-chiaw it, by tunneling under it and lifting it up. Cute right!
And they were very playful! Not just self-entertaining, but also entertaining us.
It was quite crowded even on a Friday afternoon. School children came to fly kites; pilot trainees came for their NE visit; disabled elderly came for a day of excursion; newly-weds-to-be came to have their wedding photos taken; youngsters came to picnic; couples came for a date; groups of tourists came to take photos; and kite-enthusiasts came to flaunt their possessions and skills.
A Jelly-fish-looking kite.
A bird-looking kite.
A cobra-looking kite.
It was a bright and sunny day. Winds were strong though, and many kites were up.
But before long, dark clouds gathered. Very fast indeed. Lightning and thunder too. Oh by the way, we could hear the F1 cars zooming loudly from as far away as Marina Barrage.
We visited the exhibition gallery. Watched this simulation of how the Barrage works. I bet you didn't know there are 9 gates.
During times of heavy rain and flooding, the gates will open to discharge water into the sea. However, not all 9 gates are open. I wonder, if they are all open during very strong rains led by the Sumatra squalls, will the flooding problem be less serious?
The pumps within the infrastructure. Now I know the design of the structure is made up of two '9's, which signifies a 长长久久 source of water supply for us.
My first Karaoke in 2 full months. WX's flying back soon. Have fun with your final year!
