What's Up Al ? 遊記隨筆 生活點滴

All over Singapore we found buildings of great aesthetic appeal every which way we turned. Just to name a few :
- Sands Hotel with its ultra-modern roof top pool and gardens which had commanding views over the Singapore Marina;
- Gardens By The Bay with its inspiring Super Trees and the spectacular light shows every night;
- Bugis+ shopping mall with its appealing design whose facade of the mall played the theme of light and illumination;
- Suntech Convention and Exhibition Centre, with the futuristic looking water fountains which provided cool shades for passers-by;
- the CBD district was full of modern looking buildings that housed banks, insurance companies and audit firms and the famed "low-rise" and low key Lau Pak Sat Food Centre located smacked in the middle of all the surrounding professional outfits;
- the Art Science Museum which looked to me like a half cracked egg, when reputedly it was designed to be a just-blossomed lotus and the locals dubbed it "the welcoming hand of Singapore";
- the majestic Sultan Mosque with its blinding golden dome in the midday sunshine;
- the Baba-Nyonya terrace houses in Orchard Road which brought back nostalgia and showcased the proud history of the Straits-born Chinese;
- the Sentosa casino with its magical aura luring un-suspecting passers-by into its gambling web;
- the Helix Bridge with its dramatic twists and turns; and
- the Singapore Esplanade Theatre By The Bay, fondly known by the locals as the Durian !

Most of them could be seen in the attached photos. Enjoy !
